ing there. Corbett's signature wiltthcn
be attached to the articles.
After the signing of the articles at
the Hoffman house today, M!thell eX-
pressed himself as being thoroughly
satisfied.
Il came here on business. as L stated
upon my arrival ne said, land that
business was to settle once for all the
question of supremacy between Corbett
and myself. When L came here, and eX
pressed a preference to fight in New
Orleans. the people set up a cry that
Mitchell was only biuffing, and Il told
you sos were as thick as mOlasSeS.
Now they can see for themselves
whether [ was biuiling or net, and
they'll see that I'll be on hand on the
night of the fight, and I'll be there to
do the best can. If Corbett ticks me,
I'll say SO, but il he does, hell do harder
fighting than he has ever done before"
Mitchell seemed iii good spirits and is
certainly locking like he was taking
good care of himself. He is taking
daily exercises. and will soon settle
down to do good
HARD TRAINING.
When asked if he and Hall had put
aside the memory or their recent trouble
III England, he declined to say anything
further than didn't you see Hall and |
sitting at the same table i'll the cafe"

not differ in any essential respect from
those signed by William A. Brady. rep
