was the result of a telegram from Las
Cruces, N. NJ, which stated that the
physicians in attendance upon Peter
Maher forbade him attempting to fight
before Friday. A hasty conference Of
Dan Stuart and others interested with
him resulted in the announcement that
the meeting between Maher and Fitz-
simmons might not take place until
Friday. The news had a depressing eff

fearing still further delays, prepared
to get away on the first outgoing train.
Julian will not say what he will do.
His decision will be given Monday noon.
Dan Stuart is still determined. He
says he will bring off the fight ON any
day that the men can be brought to-
gether. No one questions Stuart's sin

the two principals to an agreement

has nothing to say about this. He is
determined to pull off the big fight, and

had to be content. Fitzsimmons and
Julian went this morning to ask Stuart
if it was advisable to remove their per-

the fight shall go over until Friday,

place soon as possible. It was finally
agreed that the matter should be set
