Recent developments at Rennes have
shown that one OF the bitterest enc
mics Of Capt Dreyfus is Gen. Mercier,
former minister OF war when the
French spy at the German embassy
brought to the secret service OF the
French army the fragments OF the
bordereau. Col. Patty de Clam re-
ceived the report. Being extremely
violent in his hatred of the Jews. he
decided. after brief consultation with
Bertillon. one Of the French detectives,
that he could safely fasten the crime
upon Dreyfus on account of the sim
ilarity Of the latter's handwriting to
that Of the Bordereau. This informa
ton was reported to Mercier. where
upon Mercier ordered Dreyfus to be
arrested. Patty tried to prepare the
case against Dreyfus. but his effort
was not strong enough to suit Mer-
cter, and another pleader was secured.

"There seems to be a lack of sporting

condition is not so good as that of the

trainers to do but to send them into
the ring and coach and attend them
there until one or the other is knocked
out, or the battle has gone the full %
rounds The last tap of hard work has
been done, and both men not only ex-
press themselves as well pleased that
the days of training are over and the
day of battle near at hand
This will be a day of rest-a day in
which the muscles and sinews and
nerves of these mighty gladiators of
the modern arena will be feasted for the
rough work they must do tomorrow.
Because of this brief relaxation, they
will enter the ring tomorrow brighter,
stronger in limb, quicker in movement,
mighty and more vigorous in every
way,

is confident that his man viii win and
has more money to wager at the same
odds. Many smaller bets were made at

The indications are that the odds

better of winning this battle is gain
