Organized at Angus ia.

Mr.. Hubbinger, who knows "A gan"
better than any one, was asked if he con-
sidered Agan equal to the task of beating
one or more of the three cracks. Robert
j., Joe Patchen and John R. Gentry, as
often as they do him, the answer was:
"This year will probably tell which is
the better horse and l will not express an
opinion until we have had few more
races with them. But, barring accidents,
/ think Agan will come as near to a two
minute mark as any horse that ever start
ed in a race, and it will be done in race,
too. He is sound and always on a pace
and no one knows how fast he can go.
His races show constant Improvement
He is faster horse in his last race at
Louisville than at any time during the
season"
Kansns is proving a great place for
the breeding of fast horses

dition, and from start 10 finish they
fought every minute. Lavack was Sec
onded by George Walcott and Truesdale,
while Smith had in his corner Denny
Murphy of New York and Jimmy Kelly.
Captain Bill Daily acted as referee.

at the Australian.


CHICAGO, ILL, Feb. 22.-Ex-champion
Corbett unburdened his mind in the fol-
lowing language tonight when he was
told that Fitzsimmons had said he refused
to make match with him:
"Fitzsimmons' attitude is just what l
expected. You could not pull Fltzsim-
mons into the ring with me with team OF
horses. I tried to get him there before and
failed, because Fitzsimmons never wanted
to fight me. He is TOO much of coward.
l am so disgusted with his attitude that to
get him into fight am willing to make
any sacrifice.
81 will fight him anywhere and at any
time. Fitzsimmons is going to sneak out
OF the country, where he cannot be got at
or heard from. Ii was because OF my
disgust at being unable to get night with
Fitzsimmons that l threw up the cham
pionship to Maher. Maher refused to ac-
cept it without a fight. and left 1t i'll my
hands: but allowing for the sa ke of argu-
ment that Fitzsimmons is champion, L
now challenge him and leave my money
UP. If he does not accept in reasonable
time he Will lose the title, even II he holds
