TONIGHT'S BIG FIGHT.
Joe Cans Picks Corbett to Whip Mel
son.

The fight between Battling Nelson and
Young Corbett," which takes place tonight
in San Francisco, is the topic of the day in
sporting circles. That the contest will be a
fast one is certain. The principals will fight
not only for stake and a reputation, but
for chance to battle with Jimmy" Britt
next month.
Corbett expects to win, and win speedily.
Nelson, however. is the favorite in the bet
ting. Today Nelson is a 10-to-S favorite,
which odds suit Young Corbett." The lat
ter said last week that he hoped his oppo-
nent would be on the long end and his wish
has been gratifed. The poolroom men
opened the betting at even money, but few
wagers were placed al these odds. AS Nell
son money predominated, the odds fell to 10
to s, where they are likely to remain.
AS yet no big bets have been reported,
both sides holding off until the market be-
comes settled. Corbett is sure to have a
large following from the race track, where
he has put in great deal of his time when
not training.
Both men are still over weight, but the
problem of making 1870 pounds at o'clock
tonight is not worrying either of them. Cor
bett says that he could have been at weight
last night, but he prefers to wait until to-
DAY before touching the beam at $50 Nell
son, after his days work. was said to weigh
1872 pounds by his handlers. His trainer an
ticipates no trouble in his making the re-
CURED weight.
Wont Corbett blow up after going FIVE
rounds" a visitor asked Joe Cans yester-
day, and the colored pugilist replied
If Corbett can't go twenty rounds at a
fast clip l am ready to quit the fighting
business. He is in grand shape and will
win. 1 will bet my money on him. and so
will Mr.. HEREFORD. 1 have watched him train
and have worked with him harder than
would for any other man. He is right this
time and will knock Nelson out in ten
rounds or less. He is faster and has stung
me enough to prove that he is there with
punch in either hand"
Corbett has learned much from Cans dur
ing the latter's stay at San Rafael, and he
hopes to put his newly gained knowledge
into practice on the night of the battle He
freely acknowledges his indebtedness to the
Baltimore champion.
Frank Mcdonald. Corbetts trainer, picks
Corbett a sure winner. Mcdonald assist
ed Harry Tuthll in training Corbett for his
last fight, and says he knew Corbett was
not in shape then. He says Corbett at that
time worked on the last day to take off
weight, but that this time he will not have
to do So
Jack WEIGH will referee the battle. The
men will weigh in al Harry Corbetts to-
night at q o'clock. Nelson's seconds will be

kinds. The most notable was q gold
headed cane costing upwards of thirty
dollars, and a gold trimmed umbrella,
the value of which we do not know. The
presentation speech was made by Joliet
Jolly, late of the Us. Congress. The Col.
made the ~jolliest little speech of which
his jolly nature is capable. The large

happy one, Present were children, grand

with whom we had the pleasure of a per

the University at that place, and at the
risk of elongation of this article, will state
something of his views on the condition
of educational work as it is today. He
thinks the primary work is deplorably in
sufficient. That there is a lack of thorough
ness all along the first few grade of study.
That reviews should be frequent and ex-
haustive. Possibly arithmetic and spelling
should be singled out and given special
care. The cry of business houses to-day
who call for help from the various institu,
tions of learning, is for more thoroughness
along these lines, We believe the CLASH.

a mistake. Before that was introduced
