 Harbin Springs, Gal, June 19.-Jim Jeriffes is reveling in the delights of outdoor training, with Fitzsimmons only twenty miles away across on the other side of an almost impossible fridge. The champion looks like a big boy, with his bright eyes, clear skin and face unseamed by a single lfne other than the trainers art has put there. Said Jeffries yesterday:
 1The air here is as pure as a noun tain brook, the waters are the best have ever tasted for keeping a fellows system in order, and the surroundings are healthful and enjoyable. To sit down and gaze upon the scenery is a treat after a hard days work.
 How am 1 going to get in shape to meet F1tz? shall follow the identical lines I pursued in preparing for my
 
 the methods of training, and I am con yinced that the method I adopted pre- vious to the mill with Ruhlin is the best. Living in camp, hunting on the sides of mountain all day, puts a man in far better shape physically than planting himself in some public hotel and running and riding over dusty roads all day.
 For all around exercise know of nothing better than hunting. In the first place the air you breathe is the purest in the world. It gets a fellows lungs and breathing apparatus in the finest kind of shape. Then tell me how you can develop your leg muscles better than by climbing over the rocks and ridges of a western mountain? :? Finally, hunting gives you quick steady eye-just the sort man needs when he goes into the ring. Watching for game keeps the eye ever on the l alert, and when you have sighted some thing, to bring it down requires and de yelops a steady nerve.
 "Harbin Springs may be an out of the way spot, but we're going to enjoy ourselves here. The hotel proprietor is one of those humorists peculiar to the slope, and when Bob Armstrong arrives from Denver our old training party will be complete.
 I II am feeling better in the few days since my return. I am full of yigor My eyes are bright and clear and I can roam the mountains all day without feeling tired. When I go into the ring to meet F'itz 1 shall be in the best shape 1 eyer was in.That in itself gives me full confidence in my ability to win.
 T understand that Fitz is doing some hunting, too. It begins to look as if he had adopted my style of train- ing. Here he is just the other side of the ridge, not twenty miles away from me. But there is not much danger of our meeting before the date set. Eo cross that mountain means about ten hours of the hardest work a man ever put in, and I don't believe either of us is going to undertake it. I don't sup pose Fitz will need a gun to hunt. They tell me his smesmeric powers are such that if he sights any kind of a wild beast it wil1 walk up to him and surrender without ado.'
 Denver, Col, June 19.-Kid Parker, the vegetarian pngi1ist, is spending his l leisure moments commenting on the folly of seeking revenge. His other moments are spent attending to the wounds he received at the hands of Young Corbett, upon whom he sought to be avenged. Parker had failed to l get match with Corbett, and, after making loud announcements in the daily papers of his intentions, went to COrbett's training quarters Tuesday, and the two had an impromptu affair for blood, and without any of the re- straints of ring rules. There were sev- eral savage mixups, and at the end of the ffst round Parker was very groggy, at the end of the second he was bleed- ing, and in the third he went to the floor twice. Then he extricated him. self as best he could and went ay ay to a doctor to have his cuts patched. and to ruminate bit He is still ruminat ing, while Young Corbett is smiling guilelessly.
 Terry McGoyern, the pugilist, met with an accident in q base ball game at College Point yesterday. and the chances are that he will be compelled to stay in the house for at least a month. Terry and his brother Hugh were guests of the Thomas Jefferson association of Brooklyn, at the clubs outing. McGoyern promised to attend and give a three-round exhibition bout l with his brother. A game of ball was proposed. The former featherweight champion said that he did not care to play as he was not well versed in the game, but he was persuaded to play first base. In the sixth inning W. F. Butler of Brooklyn was at the bat He sent hot one to the pitcher and made a bee line for first base. McGovern was waiting for the throw from the pitcher and before he was aware of it Butler crashed into him and McGovern was sent to the ground. Butler fell on top of him. MeGovern was unable to arise, but in about ten minutes he was able to get to his feet and was sent to his home. A doctor was summoned and made superficial examination. He could not say whether +4NIcGovern's S collarbone was broken, but feared that it was.
 Denver, Col, June 19.-The Denver fire and police board yesterday issued instructions to the chief-of- police not to permit Young Corbett and Dave Sul- livan to fight in this city on Friday night The contest probably will take place in Louisville or San Francisco at
