Mccoy will Object to Corbett Seeing Him

AsBURY PARK, Dec. 30.-If Mccoy does not
win his fight with Tom Sharkey on Jan. 10 it
will not be because he has neglected his train
ing. Long morning walks. active bag punch
ing. ~sparring and rope skipping constitute his
daily routine. This morning the Kid carried
his medicine" ball to a lot near the beach
and spent some time with a number OF young
men tossing the sphere. He did his hardest
work to-day. but the training did not fatigue
him. Mccoy still adheres to his determination
to keep Corbett from witnessing the mill and

day was a letter from a PeInnsvlyania railroad

DOHERTY IS ALL RIGHT.
He Delivered the Plans and Specifications

Cincinnati, May 17.-William Doherty,
an ~ornithologist and entomologist, who
in the interest of science has traversed
the four quarters of the globe, has just
returned to his home here from the Phil
ippine islands via Hong Kong and San
Francisco. His latest distinction was In
successfully passing the Spanish customs
officers at Manila with complete plans of
the city. the harbor. the fortihcations and
with minute details of their armament.
and delivering them to Admiral Dewey.
IL was a dangerous undertaking. but Mr..
Doherty carried II to a successful accom-
plishment. The plans and drawings were
concealed in a newly Numbered shirt,
which was folded, pinned up and branded
in the usual style and put with the other
clothing in his trunk. Arriving at Hong
Kong early in April. he delivered the SUI
premely important papers to Admiral
Dewey on the Olympia. He is a modest
gentleman and ~deprecates notoriety, and
therefore he had little to say on the sub
ject except to state the bare facts.
