NAVARRE is The FAVORITE
Bookmakers Have Began on the
Big Spring Handioaps.
Clifford IL a Close Second, While Laz-
zarOne Appears to Be ewellThouxht
OF in Both the Events.

New York, Feb. 2S.--Already books are
open on the Brooklyn and Suburban han
dicaps, two of the most popular turf events
OF the year. In each event there are numer-
GUS good horses entered, and many OF them,
according to the appended betting quota
tions forwarded by Goodwin Bros, New
York, are being heavily backed.
The prices Offered against some of the
horses are very low, considering the time
OF year. For the Brooklyn only to is
offered against the top weight, Henry of
Navarro, and the same against Clifford.
The same price obtains In the Suburban;
in fact, there is no difference between the
quotations for the two races. The figure
offered against Navarro makes him out
to be wonder in the estimation of some
people, as there are lot OF really good
race horses in the races with considera bly,
less weight than he Is TO carry.
Lazzarone, with 119 pounds, is quoted
at the low figure of TO 1, and Ben Brush,
Handspring. Keenan, and Halma are each
quoted at 10 to /, and Nanki Pooh, from
the same stable as Lazzarone, is quoted
at IL to 1. These are all poor prices for
bettors at this time OF year, but they go
to show that some people have lots of faith
in the horses named.
Already there has been a large amount OF
money invested on what are now termed
the fayorites, and the Indications are that
there will be some very brisk speculation
on the races long before the days OF the
events arrive.
Following are the latest Official quota

the Suburban being almost similar:

and dictator. II he wants TO wait year
without fighting he can do so. Corbett
refused to meet Fitzsimmons until year
after he had beaten Mitchell.
Charley Genslinger-Yes. think Fitz
should accept at once. even II only five
cent piece is hung up. They have both
been doing too much talking and should
think OF Fighting. Nothing should keep
them apart.
Honest John kelly think Fitz should
fight Corbett quick as he can. but wouldn't
blame him for holding outfor bigger purse.
II he sees he can't get any bigger, why let
him accept. This telling Corbett 10 get
a reputation is rot.
Dick Roche-In my opinion, Corbett has
first call on Fitzsimmons. They were
matched once before. and see no reason
why Corbett should be ignored.

Different diseases have different pofsons.
some have several, indigestion more than
any.
That is, the symptoms Of indigestion are
caused by the poisons which are created by
pndigested food.
Wien you are sick, try to get rid of your
poison.
It is often easier than you think. for all
nature is helping you. Only the poison is
obstinate, but the first step is to 60 to the
root of it.
The poisons OF undigested food, which
cause lethargy, headache, dizziness, weak
ness, bad taste, stOma ch-ache, fever, flatu-
lence, nausea, constipation, loss of appe-
tite, jaundice, ana emia, neuralgia, rheuma-
tism, ETC., these poisOns can be swept away
and annihilated by the Shaker Digestive
Cordial.
Curing the stomach and helping it to
digest food, when 1t is too weak to do SO
by itself, will purify your system of poison
and renew your strength and health.

Exhibition Tomorrow Night.
New York, Feb. 2e.-Bob FitzsimmoDs,
who claims the heavyweight championship
arrived here yesteiday, and repeated his
answers to Corbett's challenge that Cor
bett does not want to fight.
II will give him the same answer he gave
me-" Fitzsimmons said. That is. go and
make reputation. If he will whip Maher,
Slavin, Choynski and Jackson. l will lis
ten to him. He is afraid of Maher or any
other stiff puncher. He is afraid OF me, aud
no one knows that better than he does"
Tomorrow night FitZ will appear at
Madison Square Garden for the purpose OF
sparring three heavyweights. Efforts are
now making to have Peter Maher here TO
spar with FitzsimmoDs, Though they will
hardly be successful. FitZsimmoDs has
spared for Maher twice. but Peter does not
believe in reciprocity.
Boxers who will spar In bouts preliminary
to the appearance of Fitzsimmous are Grif-
70, James Handler. Frank Erne, John La

Champion Pugilist Robert Fitzsimmons
passed through this city yesterday on his
way to New York from the South. With
the fighter were his wife, his wife's mother,
Mrs. Julian, Martin Julian, his manager,
Little Fitzy,' as Bob calls his son and
heir Jack Everhart, and last, but not
least, Nero, FitZsimmons' half grown lion

and / won't fight him until he makes a
reputation. I'm champion now, and III
do all the debating. Corbett is a great Ing
cur. He's afraid TO fight me. He'd IS soon
shoot himself as meet me in a enty-foot
ring. Him fight! Why, he can't fight.
He does all his fighting al long range with
his mouth. Once, when he WAS badly in
need OF newspaper advertising TO help boom
his bum show along, he tackled me in a
barroonl in Philadelphia and spat in my
face.
CoRBETT MUST WHIP MAHER.
The big cur, he knew that my hands were
tied, and he had plenty OF heelers close
at hand. He planned the whole thing TO
get a big free advertisement. What do l
care for challenge from thing like
Corbett? If he whips Maher or jackson
or Choynski or some other good man I'll
fight him for any amount or not hing just as
he pleases. The pleasure of whipping him
will be pay enough
What will you do if he insists on follow
ing you about?''
'I'u take care of him If he docs: but he
won't, and he knows it. He can't 20 to
England. The people over there are sick
of him. Why, he can't even go West
They've had enough OF him out there. He's

What do you propose doing after your

he was asked.
II don't know. Ny manager has that af-
fair in charge. He's boss"

Julian though. is making my matches"
Julian reiterated Fitzsimmous statement
that he purse was too small. and said they
would not be in a hurry making a match
after their experience at Hot Springs and
Ell Paso.
I'VE have no objection TO fighting IN
London" said Julian. but everything will
have to be just right before we sign ar

tion of the Two Men Meeting.
New York, Feb. 2s.-Now that Cor
belt has accepted the offer of an English
club. to fight Fitzsimmons there, much
talk is indu iged in as TO whether or not
Fitz should fight. The following opinions
are Interesting:
Arthur Lumley-Fitzsimmons ought to
make match with Corbett. The two
should settle the matter at once.
J.H. Hermann certainly do think that
Fitzsmmons should fight Corbett. The
two are the recognized beavyweights OF
the world, and it is a question which is the
better man.
James E. Sullivan, secretary OF the A. A.
U.-FItzsimmons is taking the right stand.
Let him give Corbett good, long wait.
He has the chance to make some money on
his reputation and be should not let that
chance go by. Corbett worried other people
by making the m wait, and now it Will be
good thing to give him dose OF his own
medicine.
Charley Horan-If Fitzsimmons gets q
chance to fight he should accept II. Cor
bett is the only champion. His giving"
the championship to Peter Maher cuts no
figure at all. see no reason why Fitz
should not meet Corbett.
Phil Lynch-Most surely Fitzsimmons
should fight Corbett. Corbett had no right
| to give the championship to Maher, and
won't recognize Fitzsimmons as the cham
pion untilhe meets and defeats Corbett.
Nick Engle-Fitzsimlnons must fight
| Corbett.
AL smith-The only thing Fitzsimmons
can do is to meet Corbett. He must meet
Corbett.
Sam Fitzpa trick Fitzsimmons has no
claim to the championship. He deserves
credit for defeating Maher so cleverly,
but that victory did not make him the
worlds champion, by any means. Fitz-
simmons must meet Corbett.
james c. Kennedy-Give Fitzsimmons q
Corbett.
should meet Corbett, ana am sure be will
accept the English offer.
Frank Hough, president Pennsylvania
State League, and sporting editor Phila-
delphia Prcss-Fitz will eventually meet
Corhettin ring, but l do not think he should
he asked to fight for at least nine months.
Give Fitz a chance TO recuperate from the
strain of training for two big fights.
President Powers of the Eastern Lea gue-
] think the men should settle the matter
at once. refusal of this purse By either
OF the fighters would mean that the man
wasn't anxious to fight. Neither Corbett
nor Fitz could afford to do that after all the
talk.
