The Claremont Advocate of last Wednes-
day said: George Bush was intending to
give a sparring exhibition this week Thurs
day evening, in which local weights were
to appear, the chief event being the APP
pearance of George Godfrey against Bush.
On account Of this being Holy Week,
however, Bush has decided to postpone the
exhibition until next week Monday even
ing. This week he and Godfrey will spar
at Bellows Falls, where no objection to
the affair has been raised. 1t is barely
possible that the exhibition here will be
postponed Monday for an indefinite time.
A petition has been circulated, calling upon
the selectmen to prevent the match, and
quoting the New Hampshire law that APP
plies in the case. 1t received the sigma
lures Of many leading citizens, and has
been presented to the selectmenn Mr..
Bush states, however, that the exhibition
next Monday night will be pulled off.
