WANT TO FIGHT AT RoBY.
Arena Being Prepared for the Cor
bett-McCOy Match.

CLEVELAND, o., Sept. 20.-A special to
the Plain Dealer from Laporte, Ind, says:
Roby, which, in past years. was the scene
of many pugilistic battles, may be made
the arena for the pulling off of the fight
between Corbett and Mccoy. Private adj
vices from Roby give the details of the
proposed meeting. Architects have been at
work for several days on plans for the con-
version of the betting ring at Roby into a
lighting arena with seating capacity of
ten thousand.
The details of the meeting of the gladia-
tors is in the hands of Dan Stuart, Consi-
dine and John Condor, of race-track fame,
and a secret meeting held at Mount Glenn
ems Mich, resulted in Roby being selected
as the battle ground of the two heavy
weights.
1t is the evident purpose to keep both
Mccoy and Corbett in training without re-
vealing the exact location of the fight. and
the advices revealing the arrangements in
progress of contamination have caused a
great sensation in sporting circles.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The Ward & Vokes musical farce which
is to appear at English's Thursday night
and for the rest of the week under the title
of THE Governors contains plentitude
of vocal numbers in the shape of new songs
that have made popular hits already this
season in the East. One of the "catchiest
ballads of the year is Just One Girl which
is the property of Louise Montrose and
which is sung by her assisted by the full
chorus of girls in attractive costumes. That
clever little comedian Johnny Page. who is
one of the few to combine acrobatic work
with songs, has several duets with Miss
Montrose. including "Mayme Green "Cin-
derella" and a new vocal comedy number en-.
titled Il Want to be Soldier" "The
Princess of Mulberry Bend is spoken of as
another new number which is destined to
become popular. Margaret DAILY Vokes, with
John Keefe, in their grotesque characters
sing a nonsensical song called 1.-THE Baby
on the Shore" which has been spoken of
as comic hymn it is SO solemn and so
ing to Englishs is a large one, carrying
thirty-two people and scenery for each of
the three acts. There will be a Saturday

Joseph Arthur can express a great deal in
