Mcfarland weigh In at 1875 pounds, the
weight which Gilmore held out for.
Nolan contended that Murphy was a
legitimate lightweight and that he did
not care about sending him in with Nc
land unless the latter was willing to
make 1873 pounds at > o'clock on the
afternoon of the proposed battle. GIL
more is averse to this, admitting that
he does not wish to see his boy extend
himself in the weight line unless he
has a chance to go against Nelson for
the championship.
Hester stands ready to make this
match provided that the principals can
see their way clear to adjust their own
differences; Mcfarland would make a

fight Nelson sooner or later. Murphy
figures to make Packey extend himself
and if they ever meet the fur should
fly thick and fast.
In the meantime Gilmore intends to
talk business with Britt and Coffroth
This trio will meet this afternoon, and
there is a chance that a match between
Nelson and Mcfarland will be mutually
agreed upon for the afternoon of Wash

arena. Gilmore is not quite ready to
talk about this, and he evidently hopes

of a showing against Welsh Tuesday
night" says Gilmore. THE propo-
sition looks rather good to us, but, of
course. we would rather show in this
city provided we can make suitable ar
engagements and land a man who will
draw some money.
"Packey will arrive by steamer in a
day or two. accompanied by his cousin
Johnny Mcfarland, and his boxing
mate, Pat Kenealy- They want Welsh

match may also be made provided that
Welsh will sit down and talk business
with us. We are very anxious to fight
him, but he is a hard man to reason
with when it comes to making a
match"
Joe Woodman, manager of Sam
Langford. made good his threat last
night and posted $1,000 with John t.
Clark along with his challenge to
fight Stanley Ketchel for the middle
weight championship of the world.
Woodman says that he will allow his
money to remain up so days, and if
Ketchel does not consent to fight with
in that time he will claim the middle
weight title and seek another oppo-
nent for his man.
