y. }. Corbett. Nashua, N. H: The sub
teriuge you resorted to in causing O'Don-
nell to challenge FitZsimmons Is not worthy
OF consideration. 1t was in the Olympic

Club that both you aud Fitzsimmons won
your greatest honors and it is now within
the province and tho duty OF the
simmons champion heavy weight of the
world. should you persist in refusing to &C.
cept his challenge. which is backed up with
o side bet of $40, 600 As far as the Olympic
Club is concerned. it is immaterial to me
with whom the side bet is placed. We do
not want to hold 1t. We offer . $25. 900
purse, the winner to take all. Fitzsim-
mons has complied with every re-
4uirement. If you will not defend
the title. Fitzsimmons will challenge
and meet the best man that can be found in
the world in February, 1895. In the event
that you do not accept the challenge Of
by Thursday, October a. We
will declare Robert Fitzsimmons the cham
pion heavy weight of the world.
