the rear end of the train and placing
each of his feet on the brake beams of
the cars on either side, undertook to

arranged all around it. Reserved
seats, which are held at S1.50. are going
fast among the town people and sew
eral orders have come in from outsiders
for blocks. Indications are now that
the fight will be attended by as large
a crowd as can get into the building.
Dutchey was examined by a local
physician this week who has had eN-
perience in that kind of work. and he
pronounced the pugilist in the very
pink of condition, saying he was the
finest specimen of physical manhood
he had ever seen. Dutchey has been
working hard for this. ana it is report
ed that Lund has been doing likewise
and is also in excellent shape.
Dutchey says that he anticipates the
hardest battle Of his life tomorrow, and
he has been in the business for TWEEN,
~ years. He says Lund viii have an
advantage over him of fifty-two
pounds in weight and nearly eleven
inches in height. Lund is six feet six
inches in height, with Dutchey stand
