Mitchell
Mitchell and McAuliffe occupied state
room 3 and were registered on the saloon
list as q. Emmes and j. Emmes
Mitchell was neatly attired In dark
blue suit, with white flannel shirt and
white tie, In tue center of which blazed
diamond horseshoe. He was toying with
glass Of champagne In the saloon when
a reporter found him. The most important
things the Euglishman said were:
Mitchell Talks.
II shall give the Columbian A. @. of
Chicago the preference In this affair. even
II it does not offer the highest purse. As
for the Crescent City A. G. of New Or
leans, wish to say that signed the very
first articles Of agreement ever drawn by
any club for the contest with Charley
Noel, president Of the Crescent City. That
was In March last before sailed, and at
chat time the Crescent City A. G. was the
only recognized athletic club In the coun-
try where an affair of the kind could be
pulled Off The articles / signed with
Noel were binding on me only in the event
that he offered as large a purse as any
other organization aud, of course, II he
secured Corbett's signature
"The Coney Island Athletic club does
not appear to consider me factor In this
affair, but they'll find out I'm good bit
OF factor before they get through. / re-
Ceived articles from O'Malley Of the
Columbian Athletic club this summer.
do not know O'Malley, but shall give
his club the preference. i never heard a
word from the Coney Island people until
five weeks ago. and that was three weeks
after signed the Columbian clubs arti-
cles. l never heard officially OF Corbett's
signing with them for $4,000 purse.
expect to meet Corbett, and want to meet
him, and IL get beaten it's all right.
shall not ask him to appear at my benefit.
A Shot at Brady.
'If find the Coney Island club Is the
only available club where the bout can
occur, of course / shall appear there, but
will not be dictated to by Corbett or
Brady. / do not recognize Brady at all In
this matter. He is only Corbett's mouth
piece. He has struck piece OF luck in
getting hold of Corbett and running a
show. Let him stick TO his Gentleman
Jack do not wish to insult him. but he
is lucky to be with good man. The
speeches 1 have read that Corbett has
made from the stage convince me that he
does not need anybody to talk for him."
To one of the party Mitchell expressed
himself to the effect that IL Corbett per-
sisted in saying he would appear only at
Coney Island, why he (MirchelD would re-
fuse to meet there.
His professed preference for the Colum-
bian A. e. is regarded by pugilistic expsrts
as all folly. The state authorities have put
a quietus on o Mallcy and his club. In
dictments are out for O'Malley and sew
eral fighters who have already contested
there.
Corbett, as champion Of the world, Is en-
titled To dictate to marked extent He
wishes to he assured that he will get his
cash after he has won it.

when notified of Mitchell's arrival in
America and his open declaration to the
effect that he would not fight Corbett at
Coney island under any circumstances,
but only before the Crescent City or the
Columbian clubs, smiled and said:
"Well, it's ouly what thought"
Don't you think he is sincerei" was
asked.
"Can any sensible man," replied Corbett.
''think he is sincere when he prefers fight
ing in a bankrupt club In preference to a
club such as the Coney Island organiza-
,ion, which has always paid up its purses
and always had It's con tests take place
without iptcrferencew
Corbett was then asked what he con-
templated doing in the matter. He an
swered: II am simply going to keep on
training, and will be on hand at the SGT
date to fight Mitchell II he funks, any
man in the world can take his place, bar
none. That is all desire to say concern
ing the matter. The public can judge for
