New York, May 26.-E r. Thomas has
decided today to sent Hermis to the
post for the Brooklyn Handicap. Train
er Jimmy Mccormick has been carefully
preparing the great horse, and John f.
Madden. noticing his condition, advised
Mr.. Thomas TO start Hermis in the
Brooklyn.
1t may surprise some horsemen to
learn that Hermis will go to the post as
fit as a fiddle. The impression has been
allowed to get abroad that he was not
within a month of a race. That this is
in the nature of dream was proved
today at Sheepshead Bay, when he
worked a mile and a furlong in 1.56 3-5,

second slower than the time made by
Gunfire, which stands as the Brooklyn
Handicap trial so far.

YOUNG ooRBETT's IDEA
Thinks Yanger and HanIon Are Only
Two He Cares to Fight.

New York May 26.-''Young Corbett"
declared today that he fears no feather
weight in the world and will meet all
those who want to fight Incidentally,
he accepted the challenge issued yester-
day by Tim Callahan of Philadelphia.
His first fight he says, Will take place
in Philadelphia on June 8 No oppo-
nent has been selected for him and he is
not adverse to taking on Callahan on
that date.
Some people are Of the opinion that
I am afraid of certain featherWeights,

Hanlon, Yanger and Broad. Everybody
who saw me fight Hanlon viii agree with
me that I was in very poor condition
I only had three weeks extra to train for
the fight after completing theatrical
tour which lasted nearly a year At
that my showing with HanlOn did not
disgrace me. AS for Yanger, I will give
him a fight when I polish off some OF
those fellows who are anxious to meet
me. 1 don't believe 4angef IS SUCH
cracker-a-j jack. although l admit he is
a good fighter. He licked Broad all
right but 1 don't think Broad is as
good fighter as he was two OF three
years ago. The beatings he received in
his fights are beginning TO tell on him,
and his strength does not seem to serve
him in as good stead as it did formerly.
1 whipped Broad twice and he cannot
hope to secure another match with me-
/ consider Hanlon and Yanger the only
featherweights who can give me a stir
fight. Callahan is an in and outer and
does not figure much after six rounds.
Il don't regard McGovern as danger
Gus fighter. He may be stiff game for
some featherweights, but he was an
easy mark for me- I may give him
another fight yet, but he must first whip
Hanlon and Yanger.
