presses himself in the most emphatic terms
as regards the actions Of Mr.. James j.
Corbctt.
In an interview he said: III Cor
yDett or Brady will sign the papers
which l will submit to them, there will
surely be a fight, without interruption.

two miles Of Ell Paso, Texas. but not on
Texas soil.

vide the stake In equal shares of 1000
each. 1 want IA Chicago man for referee.
However, in order to get the big uns' to-
gethcr, l will allow them to name the
referee and i'll the event that they cannot
agree. theu 1 will name the man.
FOR A $4,000 PURSE.

MT. stuart will not make the same mistake
AT FL Paso that he dbl at Dallas and build

As to "Gentlcman Jim," he appears to be
as anxious to keep out OF hight as heever
was. When lie opened his pay, "A Naval
Cadet" III Brooklyn last night, he followed
his usual course and ratified off lot Of
stuff about the cowardice OF Bob Fitzsin-
mons. He concludes with the following re-
mark:
Il gave the championship TO Peter
Mahcr because he is an lrisli-A merican. j
think he Is going TO make one OF the great
That is why l Retired. IL liaher ever
loses the championship, 1 promise YOU
that will re-eBtcr tine ring and do MY
level best TO get it back, even II l am
riUy years old"
GAVE HIM THE LAUGH.
The majority Of those in the audience
were inclined to give the retired champion
the laugh, and there is no doubt but what
he will not find his bed covered with
roses until he gets out and hchs rev
good men.
A wcii-Known sport said the other day
that Joe Vepdig never need be poor SO long
as Corbett has money. man who over
heard the remark, asked why. Because ne

I Al o'Brien is the Intest arrival in New
YORK locking for pugiiistic blood. Al
wants another try at anybody for purse
or a small side bet. Il bar nobody" says
the brother OF George Washington Dasch.
One thing can be said of O'Brien; he was
never afraid to fight, no matter how big
they came. His list OF victories probably
never be said that he had a strea of .'yaller"
in him. When AL O'BrcD is in the ring to
fight there Is fight, aud no monkey buSi-
ness, as is very often the case with pngi.

"fake" attached to their work instead Of

Harry Gilmore thinks well of Frank Gar.
rard. OF whom lie speaks as follows:
"Since Frank met with defeat recently at

pou uds, as Garrard only weighs l30."
Dixon and Erne are slated tu box ten
rounds fpr decision DefOre tne new
Manhattan Athletic Club tonight. Erne
is a good fighter, but / don't think he
can get away with Dixon. But everything
is very uncertain in these days, even the
result of a football match. Dixon should
get the decision unless Erne has made
very marked Improvement
Owen Zier.cr and Charles McKeever are
to box before the Manhattan Athletic
Club late this month. They are Ia weigh
in N 1873 pounds. Mckeeyer insisted upon
the weight, from which ii may be inferred
that he cannot get dawn to the light
weight limit and do himself justice.
John j. Quinn, the manager of Peter
Maher, says that he will match Maher to
fight FitzsimmoDs after the latter has fin
ished his theatrical enga cement. And then
the bellows rnared.
II Tommy Ryan and Jne Walcott meet

Dan Creedon will fight joe Choynski,
