MEAR[ANO MAY
Be THE CHOICE
All Arrangements Settled for
the Match in Milwaukee
With Wolgast.

TWO great rivals.
Thus far the advance sale, mostly
mail orders. has reached q figure we'll
over $4,000 and the possibility is that
at the present rate, the hope Of the
promoters for . $4,000 house will be
realized. The seating capacity of the
Coliseum, where the bout will be
staged, reaches over 10000, q clear
view Of the arena being had from ev-
cry point Of the building.
AZ regards reservations the natural
law Of FIRST come first served" will
be followed BY Mulkern, and Zea and
the fans on the outside are assured
OF Q square deal in this regard,
Start Work Soon.
Both Mcfarland and Wolgast will
start light work within the next few
days. The. champion is slated to ar
rive in Milwaukee on September 3,
according to Q wire received during
the week, and will locate somewhere
on the outskirts Of the city. at some
advantageous point within easy reach
OF q q line. Mcfarland, who Is rus
ttcating and in q general way taking
things easy at one Of the inland lakes
In Illinois, will make his headquarters
In Chicago. doing most II not all of
his training there. although Thirty
may switch the plans Of the Windy
City genius and bring him to Milwau-
kee q few days before the battle.
While the two lightweights need
little conditioning. both being in the
best Of shape after their recent cam
paigns. Mcfarland, due to the low
weight Cfor him) which he will have
to make, will go through a longer and
moro systematic grind. than. the
Michigan terror. whose aim will be
to keep on weight and remain in tin
top trim.
The respective merits of the two
mitt artists have been harped on so
often that there appears to be little
left for comment Or that the fight fan
has not assimilated. However, most
every critic has q different opinion
as to the ability Of the two battlers
which he has impaired to his readers
and the result has been that you can
hardly find two among the laymen
who. harbor the same dope on the
coming battle.
At the rather premature period Nc
Farland appears to have the most fol-
lowers and this fact Is noticeable in
the early betting which precludes
that the Chicago boy may rule a slight
favorite, ringside. on the day of the
fight, q situation unusual in a cham
pionship battle.
Packey Rules Slight Favorite.
Most figure that the weight, 1873 at
3 o'clock, will leave the willy stock
yards battler strong enough to out
point the Cadillac wonder over the ten
round route, and you will find that
there are plenty who will back Packey
with good coin Of the realm to take
the measure of the former Milwaukee
favorite. In the east Mcfarland will
probably rule a strong favorite. VOL

critics In that section have finally
concluded that he is a real champion,

In the west It will probably be the
opposite, and there is sure to be plenty

to place their loose change on

Here in Milwaukee. the former home
of the champ and where he got his

slight favorite, but It will be probably
