A number of the more enthusiastic
fencers of the city are endeavoring
to interest a number of the younger
men in an organization to be known
as the Akron Fencing Association.
1t is proposed to perfect permanent
organization to be conducted along the
same lines az the Cleveland Fencing
dub, which is one of the swell athletic
institutions of that city. Since the
arrival of Mr. Randolph in this city
there has been much interest taken in
this particular line of sport. Several
Akron men have become very prof.
cient in fencing, and they feel thar
such an association would prove to be
beneficial to the members. HI is
probable that meeting will be called
in few days to make arrangements
for organization.

Thursday
''The offs of the National club, while
n good one, Ii not enough In my esti-
nation If tho club will increase the
percentage 20 75 and allow
$500 for expenses there will
not be the least trouble in
clinching matters. Gus is in good
shape. In fact, he has been taking the
best of care of himself, and could get
ready for Jef1'ries quickly. He does
light road work every day and his
wind is all right. We will 90 to St.
Louis next week Following we will
visit Milwaukee. If the San Francisco
people give us what we ask for the
match it will be made at once and Rub
lin will commence serious work after
our engagement at Milwaukee. 1t
seems to me that if we fight mt all the
battle will he held in July. During
that month the Dewey celebration will
be held at Frisco and a large number
OF strangers will be attracted to the
Pacific Coast"
