Dan Stuart. who managed the Fitz-

leave for the west next week and hoped
that he would secure the signatures OF
both FftZsimmons and Corbett to arti-

which he proposes to bring off next sum

He said that as matters stand now he
does not anticipate any trouble in get

purse which he would offer would he, Mr..
Stuart refused to say.
Mr.. Stuart would like to have the con-
test take place not earlier than next
July and said that he would like to ar
range a meeting between Kid Mccoy
and Choynski or some other good middle
weight TO take place in the same week
as the -FitZsimmons bout. If ne
can make arrangements for both con
tests, Stuart said he would offer excel
lent inducements for the winners OF
both these bouts to meet six months
later SO that in the event of Mccoy and
Fitzsimmons winning they could settle
their differences within 1898.
