nation of President John Wiese was
not accepted when it was made, few
weeks ago, so that the vote for Pres

Wiese feels that his work prevents

on the fight. Not more than two
days will be required for the trip, and

engineering the trip, TO secure an uri-
usual number of signatures.

ing match as the most important
which has been held in that city for
long time.

Duffy TO win, they recognize that

fight.
Geo. Sler will referee the fight, and
there are some interesting prcliminar-
