NO MATCH ARRANGED.
Nothing Comes Of Conference BE.
tween Fitz and Brady.

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-Bob Fitzsimmons
! and William A. Brady the representative
of Jeffries, met this afternoon, but were
unable to come to any agreement. and no
match was made Fitzsimmons was very
anxious TO fight here on Friday night, and
offered to allow Jeffries to name his own
referee and to take 60 per cent of the
purse, win or lose Brady absolutely re-
fused. saying that Jeffries was not in con-
dition, but said he was willing to make a
match for future date.
Bob insisted that ii was Brady's idea 10
advertise Jeffries as matched to fight him.
and Bob claimed he was the real cham
pion and said he would make big side
bet if Jeffries would make the match for
Friday night. When Brady still refused
Bob asked him where he thought fight
could be pulled off. Brady said that he
would make substantial deposit then for
a purse of s25. 900, but suggested no place
or date for the bout
Later Brady said that q club in San
Francisco would offer purse OF $4,000
FitZsimmons was in the best of spirits, and
WAS good natured throughout. He was APP
parently convinced that If he attended the
meeting that Brady would not make the
match Brady and Fitzsimmons shook
hands in friendly fashion when they sep
arated.
Brady had good deal of trouble in en-.
deavoring to explain Jeffries' lack of con>
dition. and did not make great success
of 1t. The conference only lasted about ten
minutes.
After the meeting Fitzsimmons and
Brady went into the cafe where they had
another discussion. The latter did every
thing in his power to make the
auburn-haired scrapper recede from his
determination not to fight after August 81,
but Fitzsimmons was obdurate. AS Brady
started to leave Fitzsimmons extended his
hand and gaid:
With the end of the Horton law on Fri
day night l go out too. / am going to re-
tire. / have done my share of fighting
Give my regards to Jeffries. wish him
all the luck in the world, and l hope that
he will keep the championship until he Is
an old man. Don't forget to give him the
message"
Brady promised. shook hands with Bob
and parted. Before leaving FitZsimmons
withdrew his forfeit of $500 which he
posted on Saturday to bind match with

questions already quoted, is declared to
be representative Of all shades of doctrine
in the denomination, from the Rev DR..
Samuel P. Sprecher, of Cleveland, who Ia
among the most advanced Of the liberals.
TO the Rev DIR. William McKibbin. of
Cincinnati, who is. perhaps, the most con-

Local enquiry brings out the fact that
Brooklyn Presbytery, led by its younger
element. will probably ask for some
changes; that there is little interest
eroused in Newark, Jersey City, Norris

and that it is mere speculation on the part
OF anybody to foretell what New York
