cared a draw tonight after twenty hard
rounds. There was a great gathering of

been issued for the fighters at the in

onded by Mike Haley, Benny Murphy, Ar

by 'Solly? Smith, Sam Fitzpatrick and
Alexander and Sam Kelly. Just after the
principals had come on the platform John
l.. Sullivan had to make a speech. in which
he said this was the last year he would
ever put on a glove.

but Griffo was making game defense until
the tenth, when he came up winded and did
some hugging in the next three rounds TO
avoid punishment. Still he came to the
scratch in the fourteenth with some sharp
work, but in the next two rounds was
driven TO the ropes and kept up his clinch-
ing. Nevertheless, 'Lavigne managed to get
his right in on the body with telling effect
when they were clinched. In the next three
rounds Critic needed wind and played for
IT, while L-avigne worked TOR his heart until
the end of the EIGHTEENTH when he drove
the Australian into his corner and made
him groggy with a shower OF blows. Still
he made game defense in the nineteenth
against Lavignes attack.
In the twentieth Critic again clinched
against his opponents rushes until time was
called. This ended the battle. and, although
Lavigne had demonstrated his superiority
clear through, the referee declared III a

CHICAGO, Oct 12-The Corbett-Fitzsim-

Hot Springs. 1t is now known
by those few to whom such information is
absolutely essential what course will be pur-
sued, and, regardless of seeming difficulties,
present or prospective. all shadow of doubt
is now removed that the fight is TO occur on
the date set and at the site already Sc
lected at Hot Springs President Il. NJ.
Dickey. of the Hot Springs railroad. was
seen at the Chicago Club tonight He
said: '"Of course, l cannot speak as to
what action Governor Clarke or any judge
or other official may take regarding the
fight. 1t is only necessary to say that suf-
ficient assurance has heen received from
public and private sources TO justify the
railroad in making the necessary prepara-
tions to take care of all special cars, build
ing as much side track as may be required
No place in the country is better equipped
than Hot Springs for such an emergency,
and the three hundred hotels and boarding
places of the town are actively getting In
shape to properly receive the crowd OF
people expected"
Mr. Dickey wished particular stress laid
on the sufficiency of the hotel accommo-
dations at Hot Springs and the absence OF
any disposition toward exorbitant charges
or bulldozing. Two of the leading hotel
managers, Mr.. Hogaboom, Of the Park, and
Mr. Jackson, of the Eastman. are in Chi
cago, engaging extra help and making other
preparations on a scale commensurate with
the expected influx of twenty-five thousand
visitors. Each of the hotels named accom-
modates under ordinary circumstances
about eight hundred and, II pushed, can
properly house 800 apiece. Others of the
hotels have scarcely less generous quarters
and. aside from the many boarding places,
the railroad company is preparing side
tracks enough for about five hundred spe-
ciai cars Twenty Especial car" parties are
being made up in Chicago alone. The total
expenditure in preparation for the fisht. in
Guiding output for track, extra trains and
extra engines. ETC., Is estimated at $lW,Vp
Ninety cars of lumber are being hauled to
the springs for fight purposes. Attention
Is significantly called TO these actions and
the confidence otherwise shown in the prep
arations. The fact is also pointed out that
the contract on behalf of Hot Springs has
not been made by irresponsible or specu-
Iative sporting men, but by the Mayor and
city attorney, who may be relied on, par
ticularly, in view of other developments.

DURRANT is WROTH

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 12.-The story of
the mysterious statement of Durrant sealed
in an envelope and marked ITO be opened

prominently by District Attorney Barnes,

gers them Durrant himself is not only
wrathful, but processes to be greatly sur
prised at the conduct Of the reporter on

viii rely TO establish its point II do not
like to say anything against a woman"
said Durrant, but my disappointment is
so keen that cannot keep silent. The re-
porter has been kind 10 me in many ways;
has given me repeated assurances of belief
in my innocence, and has often said that
l had her prayers for a speedy termination
OF this terrible nightmare. She has repeat
edly suggested expressions from me, but,
adherng to an infiexible rule of not denying
or indorsing anything whether for or
against me, 1 always gave her the same
answer. My time had not come 10 talk.
At a recent call she detailed this dramatic
yarn about my having written a mysteri-
Gus something which / put in an envelope
with a strict injunction distinctly written
on the outside that it be returned to me in
case of an acquittal or opened in the event
of conviction. This stupid story annoyed
me and. realizing how much talk this
would make, / asked her as a special favor
that she make no mention of it in any way,
either 10 the press or TO the prosecution.
She readily assented to my request. and
even went further III You doubt me- she
said, get your Bible L took that dear
book and passed IL to her. She placed 1t
on the wicket door and solemnly swore
that she would make no mention OF II. I'M

ney asked me about that7anveiope IL was

ment. 1t is true. Everybody knows that.
1t was made public, but somewhat gar
bled. There was nothing mysterious about
it and no envelope inclosed it.
The press talks of my GOODNESS, and
hour of darkness: 1t is my all abiding
faith in God that sustains me. i have
faith in His goodness that He will pro-
tect me, because / am innocent of these
frighful crimes. The district attorney has
made considerable sport of my ignorance
of the word 'alibi.' L had never been in
terested in things criminal; l have never
read a trial; the word was as strange to
me as IL it had been Sanskr.t. After my
arrest / heard the word several times,
wondered what il was, but did not ask,
as l knew 1t would make me appear ig-
nOrant.''
