the usual limited number of spectators
looked on with interest. His chief exer-

joined in this. Corbett thinks there is no
game as good as handb AT any rate he
has not found an athletic exercise more to
his liking.
Besides pulling the neck of George Green
and making him wheeze for wind the
champion also spared with ''Young Cor.

had plenty of this kind of exercise yester-
day, for Billy Delaney also put on the pill
lows with him. Corbett receives blows in
a friendly bout, and some pretty stiff ones
too, that would never touch him if he was
in earnest. But even in his friendly spar

the big fellow causes people to admire him.

After considerable discussion it was
decided that the Federation should
take the directors of the club at
their word, and rely on them keeping the
contest within the law. Rev. Thomas

venting the contest if possible by law,
then introduced the following resolution !:
WHEREAS It has come to the notice of the
Civic Federation that so-called boxing bout

the law of California and of morality.
