Mr.. Mcclure says in his report that it

When asked of his intentions in the

fight off | am willing and axious TO
fight FitZsimmons before anything or
anybody in this or any other country"
Corbett was asked If ne thought that
the fight would ever take place.

"Of course it will" he replied. THE
match has been made. the money is up,
and the fight must and will come on.
| think that 1t will come off in Jackson

in Florida to prevent it. Governor Mitchell
used every means in mis- power TO stop

"A champion has never yet been killed"
he said. Those who have been killed are
the victims OF accidents"
Corbett declined to say how long he
thought his fight with Fitzslmmons would
last.
HOW LONG IT WILL LAST.
mo one can tell how long a fight will
last 1t depends upon the opposition a

Il can't tell what my opponent will

Corbett was asked the relative posi-
tlCns of FItzsimmons and Jackson as
pugilists.
I'm Jackson's day he was a better
man than Fftzsimmons ever was or ever

that Jackson has now played out and il

banding his company, Corbett said;
