worry. He has not yet reached a de-

Julian, VINO has demanded one-third Of
the receipts that may come to Stuart
from exhibiting the photographs of the
fight At the time Of the signing Of ar
ticles of agreement, Julian asked for
share of the money that would accrue
from this source, and he was told by
the right to take pictures Of the fight,
Julian would be given a chance to De in
on the returns. No bids have been

JULIAN'S DEMAND.
This afternoon Julian drove into
Stuart's headquarters and told the lat
fer that he wanted the receipts from
the exhibition Of photographs to be di-
vided into three equal parts, one of
which is to go to Stuart, one to Fitsim-
mons and Julian and the remaining
third to Corbett. Julian said that if his
demand was not granted he would re-
fuse TO fight before the camera, although
he was willing to allow Fitzsimmons to
fight for the purse If the camera is
taken from the arena. The pictures are
considered by Stuart his one chance of
getting back some of the money he has
advanced for the fighters in the last
three years and he is much worried oyer
the demand made by Julian
CAN'T STOP THE FIGHT
the demand made by Julian, said:
There is one thing certain, and that
is that there will be fight between
Fitzsimmons and Corbett next Wednes-
day. I have not had any trouble with
Mr. Julian and L do not expect to have
any. There are certain conditions gov
erning this thing and if Mr.. Julian is
not willing to abide by them he can
pack his trunk and go home. That con-
tingency will not arise, however, and I
am entirely safe in saying that any
trouble l may have with anybody viii
not prevent the fight from coming off
on the day after tomorrow. Nothing that
has arisen I'D 10 this time and that may
hereafter arise bet'0 IN Mr.. Julian and
myself or any other person and myself
Is going TO prevent that fight 1t will
surely come off if one of the PRINCIPALS
does not die by the time set for the bat
lie.
Mr.. Julian will have his man in the
ring on March IL if don't countermand
my present order to the men to be ready
TO fight on the morning OF that day, and
l have no intention of countermanding
my order.''

Both Of the pugilists did today the \
best work they will do before the fight. I

them are in the finest kind Of shape. /
and as Charley White, the trainer of
Corbett, expressed it today, IF the
thing were entirely a matter of condi-

there would be no decision at all. for
they are both in such excellent shape
that it will be out OF the question for
them to lose the fight through lack Of
