Madden was also present. After very
little preliminary discussion, Mitchell
announced that he was willing TO concede
tho winner should have all the stakes.
This statement was greeted with profound
satisfaction as IL disposed of the only
objection in the way of fight. Mitchell
went on to say as Corbctt seemed de-
termined to win or lose all, he-Mitcheu
would not let il stand In the way Ut .
match being arranged. He iutimated he
thought Corbett obstinate only to make IL
appear that he Mitchell-did not want to
fight.

cusscd aud IL was decided rs n safeguard

hearty and enthusiastic. She has a voice
musical and of considerable compass,
we'll modulated, capable of great express
sion, we'll trained and backed by clear
enunciation, and allied to a grace of
manner, and fitness of gesture unusual
in one so young, stamp her as an artist
