 New York, May 27.-Another step for ward was made to-day in the match between Corbett and Fitzsimmons. The men met in an uptown resort this af- ternoon. Fitzsimmons was accompanied by his legal adviser, Emanuel Friend, and Corbett by his manager, w. A. Bra dy. Joe Vendig, the, representative of the Florida Athletic club, opened the proceedings by attempting to review the articles of agreement. He was in- terrupted by Corbett, who insisted that he was the only man that had anything to say about the match. Fitzsimmons with smile remarked:
 'I think I have as much to say as any one"
 "Then why don't you say it?" hotly retorted Corbett.
 My legal adviser will talk for me-" said b1tzsimm0nS.
 MT. Friend then began to go over the articles of agreement Corbett inter- rupted him repeatedly.
 "As regards the clause in the articles of agreement which reads that the con- test will be decided under the auspices of the Florida Athletic club of Jackson ville," said MT. Friend i've interpreted that to mean that the battle would be fought at the headquarters of the Flor ida Athletic club in Jacksonville. We now understand that the club reserves the right to bring off the battle wher- ever 1t chooses. We will concede this point, and -"
 Corbett, said; "We want no concession. am the man to give away If anything Is to be given, and
 
 q am not talking to you," retorted Mir Friend
 You'll talk to me or no one else" said Corbett. "I did not come here to listen to lot of lawyers gab. I came here to fight If Fitzsimmons wants to fight let him say so."
 Fitzsimmons retorted that that was the object of his visit.
 Then why don't you say so?" roared Corbett.
 T leave the understanding to Mir Friend" said Fitzsimmons.
 When do you propose to post the $5,- 900 to guarantee your appearance in the ring?" asked Vendig.
 When the place and date of the bat tie are announced by the club we will put up $5,000 with F. J. Dwyer the T q
 Corbett wanted Fltzsimmons to sign articles to that effect, but Vendig said that the proposition suited him and he would take Friends word. Corbett de- 1 clared that it did not suit him, but | upon the advice of Brady he agreed to l the inevitable Corbett then accused l of saying that he (CorbetD | was afraid of him. Fitzsimmons wanted ! to explain, but Corbett would not listen | to an explanation and angrily declared l that he was not afraid of any man and was ready to prove on the spot that he was not afraid of Fitzsimmons. The latter kept his temper and said he was not afraid of Corbett or any other man. Vendig said he had given his word that there should be no trouble in the room and he meant to keep his word. It was then agreed that the men should settle their differences in the ring.
 Corbett left the room, but returned a few moments later and apologlzed to Friend for anything he might nave said.
 Vendig is confident that he can pull he battle off and will name the place md day on July 1.
 Corbett will begin training at Asbury Park at once. Fitzsimmons says he will lot begin work until his Syracuse trou- ,le is over and he knows where and when he is to fight.
