Athletic Club, when he will appear In

FIRST opponent for the championship.
When asked for his opinion on the COM
ing fight between Corbett and Fitzsim-
mons, be said:
al certainly think Corbett will win, for
he is q level headed chap and has had lots
of experience. He has improved lot since
he fought me at New Orleans, and even
Ut that time he was wonder. Then ne

who IL so long headed as Corbett, and the
Australian Is liable to go to pieces at any
stage of the game. II you have noticed.
Corbett has always shown great cleverness
in making matches and / will say this
one is no exception to his general rule.
Nowadays the public will stand far
mucn more from a tighter than In my
day. When was champion the public
dema nded that should fight whenever q
candidate made his appearance, but times
have changed, and these two fellows have
had two years cheap advertising before
getting down to business. To my mind
Corbett was willing 10 fight at any time.
but Fitzsimmons seems to have had great
trouble in screwing up bis courage to the
sticking point. lie could easily have
eluded the authorities at Hot Springs, but
instead of that he purposely had himself
arrested 90 as to have the fight stopped.
lie has never made any effort to get on .

that he would 60 on the present match IL
he had not been forced to by the public. :"

IN SOUTH AFRICA.
John Bull VIII Hold Fast and Preach on
Kindliness.

London, March 27-A farewell dinner
was given at the Cafe Monico to Sir AL
frei Miner, the newly appointed Cover
nor of Cape Colony. Among the guests
were Colonial Secretary Chamberlaud,
Mr.. Balfour, Lord Roseberry, Sir VIM
Hartcourt, the Marquis of Landowns.
Viscount Peel and Mr.. John Mory.
Mr.. Asuith presided. In the cour1e of
his address Mr.. Chamberlain said that
although the South African situation
was not free from anxiety and even dan
ger, he believed the problem not intol-
cradle. The common interests of the RACES
In South Africa : were imineasurably
greater than any differences between
them. The British were always will
ing to concede to the, Dutch subjects all
the privileges of law they themselves
enjoyed and had shown time and again
that they did not desire and did not intend
to interfere with the freedom of neigh
boring states. Surely it might be hoped
the TransvaAl would realize it's duty and
fulftll the obligations 1t had voluntarily
assumed in the London convention and
extend the hand of fellowship to the for
eigners who had so largely contributed
to the prosperity of the republic. Con-
ttnuing, he said the British nation was
determined to uphold its rights under
the convention and it's dominance In
South Africa, il, as had been suggested,
certain eminent men in South, Africa, as
piring to an independent federation OF
states in which Dutch Influence would
be dominant, were seeking the support
of Continental Europe rather than that
of Great Britain. He viewed such a
course as incompatible with British in
terests even with the possession of Cape
Colony which was the most strategic
point Of the empire and which was alb
sclubely necessary to Great Britain
as an Eastern power.
