 Fynn is here for brief course or t',e fathe and we'll earned rest. Curley will depart for Las Vegas With his charge May 1 and last night wired Tommy Ryan, the former middle weight champion, to be in the fair New Mexico city the day he arrived with Flynn.
 Flynn and Cumley, together with Al'S.s Greiner, the famous auto driver and w. H. Lanigan who served as the past winter season, reached the Arlington yesterday morning and will be the guests of the famous hcstelry during their stay in Arkan- sas ~sMot Springs. Freiner, famous athlete himself, will assist in con- Aitibning Flynn, while Lan1gan VIII F aids Curley in the Publicity depar,- ment.
 Flynn. in company with Curley and creiner, took mild, drill over the mauntains early in the afternoon ana after the Pueblo fireman climbed out of his bath and received rubdoWh' he iumped on the scales and tipped them at exactly 216. So thas proves he is no little fellow. He is much shorter than Johnson and is not the nossassor of anything like as long reach.
 Inst the same he has fetched sam Lansford, Jack O'Brien, Twin Jack Sullivan and Bill Squires, in addl- finn to Kaufman and Morris, among q host of other big fellows, and re- aard,ess of how he may be classed with Johnson on his early day ana date the fact remains that he mas proven himself to be the second pest heavy weight in the world and Man ager Curley, as keen judge of a sporting entertainment as there Is In the country, could have taken the John son-Flynn fight to New York or Paris. or even into Nevada or Utah, which affords positive proof chat the sporting public, and public generally, has started to become generally ln- terested in the match which was at first pooh-poohed.
 Curley has pulled off lot of other big sport affairs and the famous sporting man is confident that Flynn and Johnson are going 10 play to over a $1c0,OO0 house" in fact, that only the Johnson -Jeffries receipts will eclipse what will be taken in at Las Vegas.
 Jim Corbett, the worlds former heavy weight champion, rode south with Flynn and Curley Sunday night, ECorbett bearded the train in S.. Lcuis and left them at Little Rock. where he is showing in vaudeville this week. Corbett not only met Flynn for the first time, but got his first peek at the rushing, crushing Cobra 10 fireman.
 The train pulled out of St. Louis at o'clock and the party of pugil- istic celebrities. were in Flynn's drawing room until almost midnight. Then, after Jim declared it was past bed time for him. Corbett and Curley withdrew to she observation car, where the fight talk was continued until daylight
 Flynn is a bright sort of snap. He has splendid personality; is well read and has far removed from being a boob as New Haven, Conn. Is from Fort Worth, Texas. He and Cert ett made each other in |tNtnll llins and easl slepan Jim did not make my bones over the fact that
