with Fitzsimmons about the Coroett

fight him, and I think either OF them

Fitzsfmmons was met by a monstrous
crowd here. The. train arrived at a.

that they were entirely satisfied and
shook hands all around
Julian handed the Associated Press
representative the following:
'fTo the public: We thank the kind
people of Juarez, Mexico, for the kind

on the contest and what little he had
bet was on FitZsimmonS.
II met Corbett in Chicago" said
Smith, land he told me that he was
confident Fitzsimmons would win, be-
cause he was afraid that Maher would
vince when he thought OF the beating
he received from FitzsimmonS few
years ago. Corbett means to fight
FitZsimmons and I'll back him for any
amount. FitzsimInons, in my opin-
ion has aged considerably and did not
look very we'll when 1 saw him last"
At the Marlborough, Imperial, Grant,
Coleman and the Lincoln hotels few
bets were made. George Jones of Bal
timore and Dave Houslinger of San
Francisco each wagered $500 on Maher
to win. They got fair odds. Ed Nail
won several thousand dollars on Fitz-
simmons and his friend Jeff Jackson
also was winner. The largest wager
of the day was recorded at the MARI

Hvered an address.

statutes of the land in their spirit
Mr. Roosevelt was received with
great enthusiasm. He paid a mastery
tribute to the memory of Washington
and his associates of the revolutionary
period. Though stating that the great
est of the great men of all time had
been both statesmen and soldiers. and
that without statesmen and soldiers no
country can ever achieve the highest
