The Eve of Battle.

MAY PORT, Fla. Jan. N.-The cham
pion retired early last night. After a
heavy supper, he sat down to a game of
whist and retired shortly before ten.
He bounded up stairs to his bedroom,
three steps at time and with ''good
night sweet heart" to his wife, closed
the door behind him and ter
minutes later was sleeping restfully.
This morning, with four collies, he
walked down to the beach and amused
himself. 4 barber came down from
the settlement and the famous POM
padour was carefully trimmed. Brady
left at daylight for Jacksonville to at
tend the injunction proceedings, and
| Corbett contented himself waiting for
his return with news. 1t was intended
originally that the whole Corbett party
should leave before sunrise this morn
ing, but the new legal phase brought
with it change and the camp is now
in readiness to disappear on orders
from the club.
Corbett ia worried only over pos
sibility of the match being called off Oh
postponed. He inagines that some
thing will crop out at the last moment
which will deny him the chance tc
measure his reach with the Briton
Dempsey arrived on the evening trair
and will remain close by Corbett's sd'
until the referee renders his decision.

York, stopping en- route at Savannah
