.EPUELrC SPECIAL.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Buffalo. n. Y, July s.-Everyth,ng IS
ready for the big Gardner-Root fight that
Is to be held tomorrow afternoon before
the International Sporting Club of Erie.
The men are ready and have finished the
last stroke Of work that was TO fit them
for the fray. Both men weigh 1s4 pounds.
Fighters are sometimes careless Of a few
ounces In announcing their weights. How
ever, there is no doubt that both are within
the limit Of 1sS. for neither of them put in
any OF the usual hard work on this last
day. Both say that they will do nothing to-
morrow more strenuous than working a
rocking chair in some cool and shady spot.
Gardners quarters in the Queens Hotel
on the Canadian bank are only few steps
from the ringside. In fact, Gardner has
been doing all OF his boxing In the ring
which will be used for the fight He has be-
come accustomed to the canvas flooring, TO
the ropes and the surroundings The only
thing that will be new &c him will be the
yelling crowd. and Gardner is no novice SO
far as fighting in public is concerned.
Boxing in the ring where he will fight
may give the man from Massachusetts, 4
slight advantage, but that is not worrying
his rival in the least. Seeing the two men
on the eve Of their battle. one is impressed
with the difference In their temperaments.
Gardner is. extremely quiet and cool He
talks of other fights. tells stories. and, in
general. acts like man who has not tho
slightest interest in the world in the coming
encounter. He announced that he felt sure
of winning, and then he slid down into his
chair and dismissed the subject.
He is built for all the world like Fftz-
summons, and when he settles into chair
his shoulders bunch UP over his short neck
so far that they touch his ears He is long
and lanky and catlike. Root Is broad, sturdy
and powerful. When he gets into a chair he
keeps as erect as a German soldier He has
none of that air of cool Indifference that
characteriZes Gardner He Is ALWAYS grin
ming and joking and taking an active inter-
est In every topic of conversation that
comes up. In talking OF the fight Root said:
Il always go at my man and keep him
on the jump. | fight all the time That &c
the way whipped Mccoy, and will fight
Gardner the same style.
1T VIII be a fast fight from the start OF

Nal Doyle and Johnny Regain returned

Johnny stopped Clarence Forbes in seven
rounds. Regain is rounding to his old-time

in his class from this time on.
Speaking of the bout yesterday, Doyle

expression as he wore when he rushed into

He seemed to think It was an accident
