DALLAS, Tex, Oat.9.-The Corbett-
Fitzsimmons fight goes to Hot Springs,
Ark. A decision was made at clock
this afternoon ana tie Florida Athletic
club will move it's belongings to Hot
Springs at once.
No change in the original date Of bold
ing the fight was made. Conditions hav-
ing bsen changed quickly and positively,
the date and place Of the mill being
named in less than twenty -four hours
after the conference. though the club had
forty-eight hours from Tuesday night to
decide in, there were lots of things to be
done, including the arrangements for get
ting to work on building and the prep
aration for transportation. However.
great many matters were arranged in the
conference Tuesday night. The events of
today brought these out. The question
came up at the conference whether or
not Julian and Brady would agree to
fight outside of Texas. There was no
difficulty on this score. That being set
tied, the question arose, would they con-
sent to moving the date up to Novem ber
20. Both opposed this. Their men, they
said, were already on fighting edge, so to
speak. Julian insisted particularly on
this. 1t seems. therefore, concession
was made in this regard by the club.
Brady sprang a telegram from Phillip ].
Dwyer of New York. ske official stake
holder, that Fitzsimmons' money had
been attac he'd, the amount involved be.
ing $500. Brady and Julian had warm
discussion over this, ending in Julian
promising to make good the amount in
ten days from Tuesday. Julian blamed
Attorney Lanny Friend of New York for
the attachment asserting that he forced
himself on Fitzsimmous and otherwise
used Fitzsimmons as handle to keep
himself before the public in connection
with the Australian affairs. A claim was
put in by Julian for tEs forfeit of $2500
iflthe mill did not take place on the 3lst.
This was silenced by the proving of the
fact that the club had the right to pull
the mill off any time after July 1, 1895.
The club also demanded as a right that
the referee be named right away. Brady
demanded the sane. Julian stood pat
on his old proposition, that the referee
should be named on the uay of the fight.
There was a hot discussion between Ju.
lian, Brady and Vendlg, the latter declar-
ing that unless referee was named at
once he would declare the fight off. But
Julian said it would have to 60 at that
then; he held it was the safest wav to
prevent the referee being tampered with
to lust name him on the day before the
fight. Brady said Corbett would never
again sign articles of agreement unless
the referee was named in the same. Mat
ters looked squaliy for time. After
several propositions were made, Julian
finally consented to consider the PROPOSE
tion that he and Brady should each Sc
leot name from six,the name to BIZ kept
secret until the day of the fight, and
then. If the names were not the same, the
decision between the two should be de-
cided by toss-up.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Oct. 9.-Go ver-
nor Clark, when shown the Dallas tee-
gram about the change OF the FLORIDA
Athletic club to Hot Springs, said he
had nothing to say at this time. He
would wait and see if the change was
made, and would then take such steps
as the law authorized.
AUSTIN, Texas, Oct 9.-The Corbett
party was permitted to return to San An
tonic this afternoon. the grand jur- hav-
ing no further business with them. 1t
is intimated that the best of feeling dOes
not exist between the district attorney
and the grand jury on account of his ar
bitrary action in this matter. and they
called him down this afternoon. The
investigation is very liable to be a fizzle.
