who we're at the state fair speak very
highly of the Morrison county exhibit
There was splendid display of fruit.
grain and vegetables, and the whole
was artistically arranged. Those who
had the matter in charge are certainly
entitled to great credit. While the
county did not win first place the
amount of advertising we received
was certainly worth all the trouble
and outlay. -

rain of Saturday and rollers and harrows
had very little effect on the soil. In order
to make the going safe and to smash the
hard clods of dirt big force of negroes was
engaged early in the day. BY beating the
frozen earth with shovels and spades path
wide enough for four or five horses to race
abreast was made near the outer rail.
The wretched condition of the course
caused many withdrawals In the six events.
So many were scratched In the last race
that 1t was completely wrecked and it had
to be declared Off. and another contest at six
and a half furlongs was substituted. The
event was won by Alcon r., who proved

in the betting at 10 to g. and there has
been considerable money bet at these Odds
Detroit experts have considerable respect
for Fitzgerald's ability. and they look for
the Brooklynite to make things interesting
for the champion. This will be the second
meeting between the pair. and they are
pretty well acquainted with each others
tactics. Although Cans won the decision in
their last meeting, Fitzgerald gave a good
account of himself and proved that he was
one OF the most dangerous men that Cans
tackled in some time.

him.

afraid that he will never give me a chance.
But am going to stick to him until learn
definitely just. what his intentions toward
me are. 1 don't see why he should ignore
me because I whipped him when he was on
top. / should think that he would want to
even that up if anything. My hands, which
I injured fighting George Gardner, are all to
the good now. All that was necessary to
bring them back into shape was rest
IF Corbett refuses to meet me I will be
ready to take them all on. one after the
other, because there are plenty of fights left
in me, even if some folks say I'm getting
old. Let them all come, the more the mer-
rier. I'll meet Marvin Hart, Sandy Fergu-
son or any white man. provided there Is
enough money in it. l am feeling fine, but

dent that happened before he met Hanlon.
Billy Murphy was one of the principals in
the preliminary bouts and the Auupodean
occupied the same ring with the Denver
youth. The two got to talking about old
times. when Murphy said: do you know.
Kid, that>I had to borrow money to eat q

chance that came across man who gave
me enough money to buy meal tell you,
1t is tough to be strapped after all the mon

this Murphy broke down and wept like q

Corbett was touched by Murphys story.

future.
IF win tonight, Billy. I'll never gamble
again, at least not heavily. Corbett averred
I'm on top now, but who knows that /
may not be down just like yourself tomor-
row? From now on I'm going to save my
money. I'm going to be as tight as drum,
and when 1 cannot fight any more 1 will
have enough left for a rainy day. Look at
George Dixon, John L. Sullivan and the
others who have made a pile at fighting.
Where are they? It's the same with jock
eys and others in the professional line. It's
all right to be a good fellow once in
while. but it's all wrong If you keep it up.
don't believe 1 will ever drink again, and
any bet l may make on horse race will
be for a trivial amount"
Then the two shook hands, and Corbett
seemed to be all the happier for his resolu-
ton. From late accounts Corbett has kept
his word. 1t is understood that the cham
pion Is to be married shortly, and that he
intends to make his homo in New York
city.
