element among the spectators. who re-
ceived the troops good naturedy and
with an occasional cheer and occasional
| sneering remarks from the small boys,
| who picked out the various members of
the command for complimentary illusions
such as, Hi, there, get on to fatty" aud
| the like.
THE TROOPS KISSED.
Something of n sensational nature oc-
Cured when the soldiers were passing in
| front OF the Globe saloon. Alll he way up
tho street they were met with derisiye
yells and Kisses. In front OF the saloon
| was an unusually large crowd, which gave
vent 10 its displeasure by such a volume
of Kisses that II mus; have made the ears
| of the soldiers ting,e. Tho Kisses in
L tItdsSi ulih4i iut ubAsc rtoNi.
Then the soldiers suddenly under an or
der from their captains lowered their guns
TO position TO load and went through tho
motion, whether they did or not. This
significant action was at once noticed by
the crowd and only renewed the ridlcule.
| The men were very angry when they
reached tho armory, claiming that tho
Kisses and other insults they were sub
| jected to on the march from the railroad
station had left them with no good feeling
| toward the people of Jacksonville. or the
same frame of mind were the men of
Company ID, Captain Teller. One private
went so far as 10 say had he not received
| strict orders not to fire unless commanded
some one in the crowd would have been
hurt when the kissing began.
"If we face the rob-" said one lieuten-
ant, "and get or TO fire VIC will do so,
and not in the a.. ;her. Our boys were
brought up with rs IN their hands and

outside districts over the reception ac.

pie of jacksonville. The people are
afraid the governors action may drive
business away from ,heir old city.
| STRING on The $4,000 CHECK.
| Tho much endorsed and much talkcd-of
/ - all. .,l A.,ta ,I.a
purse for which Corbett and Muchell are
TO fight, has not yet gone down the back
entry OF time. II is yet an element in the
equation and will remain SO TO the end.
When Referee Kelly yesterday called
upon the club to convert the check into
cash, the club in a conference decided TO
do SO in some way or other. Ii seems 10
have been at the time unknown either to
Kelly or TO the club that something stuck
to the check and il is again dangling there
before the public eye to-day. Last night
it was generally understood that the check
matter had been ended, and that Kelly
to-day would receive the $4,000 in cash.
Kelly. however, has not yet handled any
money realized from this check, and the
indications are that lie may not do SO un-
Ill the contest is ended. AT a conference
between Kelly and the club members, the
club announced that if tho injunction is
granted the club tomorrow the cash for
the check will be at once turned over. II
the injunction is refused the fight will be
declared oil.
Kelly says he will not referee the figh,
if the money is not in his hands before
the contest. Kelly declares he has every
confidence in the Duvai club and, al
though rumors have been circulated that
il was not playing square, he thought they
came from men trying TO make capital
from nothing. He believed tomorrow tha,
everything would be satisfactorily ar
ranged.
ARGUMENT oS TIE lSJrNCTIoN.
The argument on the bill praying for an
injunction TO restrain the sheriff from in
terfering with the Corbett-Mitchell fight
was called in the circuit court this morn
ing before Judge Call and arguments or
both sides presented, The judge is un
ders;ood 10 be inclined TO grant the in
junction if the lawyers for the Duval club
can convince him that such contest as
that indicated in the articles of agreemen,
is not illegal.
Judge call granted continuation of the
injunction proceedings asains, the sheriff
until tomorrow morning, issuing tenn
porary Injunction meantime restraining
the sheriff from interfering until the case
in court Is settled.
From a rather equivocal statemen;
made by Sheriff Broward this morning, il
is surmsed that IL the court grants an in
junction he will not take any too man,
chances of punishment for contempt oI
court by stopping ii. Moreover lettei
was received this morning TO the effect
that the citizens would make il pleasant
and convivial for the troops whom the gov
ernor is sending here on their arrival, anC
II the Duval club would give them com
plimentary admission tickets to the fight
they might stack their arms and forget {,
take them up again ill It Is too late I,
prevent the contest.
IT MAY BE POsrrOHED.
Work with a large force was resumed
on the arena this morning, Indicating tha
the club has strong ground TO believe I
can pull Off the fight there. 1t is barcll
possible it may be delayed so as 10 rcn
dor postponcment of the fight till Sri
day or Saturday. The Duyal Athletic clul
