PnTsBURa, Jan. 2G.-The fight be-
tween Corbett and Jackson next June
will likely take place in England. To-
night Jackson received intelligence that
Corbett rather preferred that the con-
test come off on the other side, on ac-
count of the difficulties met with in the
recent match with Mitchell. Both men
are satisfied that the principals in the
next mill fought in this country will
encounter even greater obstacles than in
the last one, and would willingly agree
to go to England if large purse was
offered. Jackson stated tonight that he
would meet the champion on English
soil or anywhere in this country north
of the Mason and Dixon line, but would
not fight in the south.
NEGOTIATIONS IN PROGRESS.
LONDON, Jan. 26.-It is announced
here that Corbett has arranged to come
to England, and that the fight between
him and jackson will probably occur
before the National Sporting club in
June.
Manager Fleming of the National
Sporting club said he was in commuDi-
cation with Corbett and Jackson and
doing his best to bring about meeting
between the two pugilists in London.
Fleming, however, declined to state the
amount of the purse which the club
would offer, and also declined to discuss
yesterdays fight at Jacksonville, saying
although Corbett claims to be champion.
the people there will not admit it until
he has beaten Jackson. Fleming said
it was absolutely untrue that the club
had offered pursk for Savin and Sui
livan to fgnt, for the club members
never even dreamt of such thing.
