By decsivcly whipping every contender in his own country. Welsh has been endeavoring to open negotiations with Nelson the holder of the worlds light weight championship for a battle. Nelson expressed willingness some time ago to give Welsh q chance to win the title. and at that time notified said The cahegram announcing that the English pugilist had arranged with Nelson for the contest. indicates that Welsh has accepted all of Nelson's terms
 The fight will be seen in either Cali fornia or Nevada. as these are the only States in which d forty five-round battle is permitted. The New Yirk Sporting men are little surprised that the date has been fixed in Septemper as it was believed that Nelson would require long ways more or less in condition for a fight. it is believed that for a match of this consequence, he shoul require a con- siderable period of active training. Welsh always keeps himself in good condition. and is able to fight ven-round battle at any time, but it is believed that he would require q season of hard training in this country to make a creditable showing against Nelson.
