THE BETTING.
At the pooi-rooms tonight were offers
of 100 to 40 on Corbett, and some ven
furesome admirers OF the Californian even
went as high as 100 to % In their offers,
but there was no money OF any conse-
quence going out on either pugillst. AT
one OF the round tables In the Globe care
sat Billy Thompson. the manager OF
Mitchell, with old Tom Allen. OF st.
Louis. and a party of friends. I've are
looking for some OF that Corbett money"
said they. but none OF IL appears to
come to the surface. i have just sent
81. 600 up to the booksellers desk with an
offer to put IL up even that Mitchell lasts
for twenty rounds In to-morrow's fight.
but not dollar OF Corbett money has
been sized TO 1t yet. If these Corbett
men are sure Of their favorite, why don't
they take up that bet? According 10
their stories. an offer like that ought TO
be n picnic for them. We shall wait here
an hour longer. and II nobody wants our
money, we shall pull down and go to bed.
