ayune, died at $40 a. m. She was

eyes are still improving but he is in
no condition to enter the ring at pres

the forfeit, but he declined to express
any opinion as to what he would do.
All the small fights have been de-
clared off. There never has been any
strong probability that they would take
place. There was for time a chance
OF the Everhardt- Leeds match being
brought about, but the management re-
fused to take chances on giving away
the secret Of their battle ground, and
everybody agrees that one fight will be
the limit. AS only one can be had, it
was decided that the big one should
stand, and the others went by the board
accordingly. The management will
pay all forfeits on the small fights, $500
to each man, and the fighters are at
liberty to go home as soon as they like.
