 The managers of the men got down to business without much ado. and in about fifteen minutes they had agreed that the much discussed six round bout should be decided at Philadelphia on March Is. under the direction of Bob Deadly, the Philadelphia promoter, who was not either present or repre- sented. This was not necessary, it seems, for the articles that had already been drawn up had met with his ap- proval and were signed by him.

The weighing in time must not be earlier than 10 o'clock in the night of the bout. Billy Recap of Philadelphia is to act as ref cree and both contestants will be al- lowed to wear soft bandages. It was also agreed that neither side shall par ticipate in a bout before the mill at Philadelphia takes place under penalty of forfeiting s1,O00. Deadly has guar anteed that the seating capacity will not be less than 5000. and the pro- moter also agrees to post 5000 with T. c. Murphy of Philadelphia as a guarantee of good faith that the mill will be held on the date and time ar- ranged for it. To protect the club both Nelson and McGovern have consented to post s1.OO0 each for weight and ap- pearance. The prices for seats to wit ness the mill. as understood yesterday, are to be from g. to S10.

RECEPTION FOR LACK.

When Jack O'Brien returned to Phil adelphia Saturday, after having been absent for nearly a year in the west. and bringing Bob FitZsimmons's scalp with him, he was greeted by crowd that fairly packed the big train shed of the Pennsylvania railroad station. The crowd was so great that those who came on the train with him found it impossible to make their way to the street. The special officers had to make passage way for them through the crowd. football rush tactics being necessary in the effort.
 Four of his admirers, Lew Bailey, Jack Egan, Jack Clancy and Joe Hagan, then picked him up bodily and carried him out of the train shed. The crowd cheered O'Brien, who was car ried down the stairs and out into Broad street, where several barouches were lined up in front Of the station. Here he had to make speech.
 O'Brien held an impromptu reception in his home later in the day, chatting with number of newspaper men and other callers.
