ES CONFIDENCE. | He Telegraphs to His Wife That the Fight is a “Cinch.” g New Onieans, La., Sepf. 7.—The present carnival of pugilism in this city will end with | the battle of the giants tonight. The closing day of this festival opened bright, clear and reasonably cool. In shady spots at 8:30 o'clock this mtorning mercury marked 86 and a fraction. A soft breeze carried away the volumes of emoke that rolled from the tall | chimneys of sugar houses on the river front. Sullivan's rooms are so situated that this’ refreshing breeze enters the windows in cool eddies. At Corbett’s quarters the move- ment of air sweeps through a fluttering of curtains and stirs the mosquito bars within. Both Sullivan and Corbett aroused to their battle day in shape satisfactory to their trainers | | and backers. The dogged and never-whipped Sullivan can- | not imagine the possible contingency of his own defeat. Indeed. he seems not to be able | clearly to understand how any man might have the presumption to stand before him with an idea of conquest. Some who are here say this [is over-confidence. ‘Then the Sullivan oracles ‘assumed disdainful wrinkles about mouth and Tose and respond that “that's all right.” | CORBETT APPARENTLY CONFIDENT, On the Corbett side of the fence there is ap- parently equal confidence and entire absence |of nervous apprehension. The long Cali- fornian is well nigh chipper in his assurance of | neces tonight. Whether this is the outcome of overweening conceit or whether it is con- | vietion based upon solid judgment of his own | powers, the Corbett talent say make no differ- lence. ‘The fact is, they add, their man expects to win, and that is a large fraction of the battle | in his favor. Outside the camps of the gladiators the tid- | ings of these conditions ate received and vari- | ous constructions are made, each bending to | the prejudice of the bearer. Those who scarcely expect Corbett to overcome the pres- | ige of Sullivan's championship say that, when | Sullivan finally sees before him a powerful and | shifty adversary who has in eyes the expression of absolute confidence there is no telling what may be the result on Sullivan, If | Sullivan, in addition, begins early in the game | to feel the hurt of heavy blows, it is held by jsome there may be a weakening that will astonish all. On the other hand it ia that exhibition not phase Sulli- of contidence by Corbett wi van's nerve an atom, for it is heldethat he bas none of those, which in ordinary men are sus- [ceptible of stage fright. And aa to his becoming terrorized by unexpected power, and -science—well, the Sullivan men simply laugh outright. Thoy say there's no way to break his heart except by cutting it in two with a knife. And so the day opens and proceeds toward place of speculation. 5 ‘The pias le t thoroughly thfongh the hour this morning breakfasted in hisroom upon asteak which was in keeping with the man’s size. During the morning the question as to who shall second Sullivan tonight was | settled. Charlie Johnston, who has more in- | quence over Sullivan than any other man | pugilism, and who is also one of his backer | will be one the seconds, and Champion Light- weight McAuliffe will be the other one. At 10 o'clock Sullivan and Charley went around to the gymnastic club for the final exercise. The new punching bag, which re- | places the one out of which Sullivan yesterday | literally knocked the stuffing, was whinged for awhile, the rope was skip) times, the leather ball was passed and came the plunge bath.

The ehairman of the committee on constitu- tion and by-laws, R. C. Jackson, was called upon for a report and submitted, first, that the chairman of the executive committee be paid ‘en annual salary of €50, and that the two other members of the committee be paid an annual salary of 825 each. The Proposition gave rise to a long discussion, in which amendments, substitutes and points of order played « prom- {nent part. ‘The convention finally decided the question by granting the chairman of the ex- ecutive committee an annual salary of $100.

Like ‘action was also taken in reference to the proposition to amend the con- stitution and by-laws by changing the present laws of the association respecting the rein- statement of members. ‘The question of granting a further allowance to local secretaries for the collection of monies was long and earnestly discussed, with the re- sult that section 3 of article 7 of ‘the constita- tion granting such compensation wns repealed.

Director Leech of the mint bureau, who has just returned to Washington from a visit to the Philadelphia mint, says that satisfactory progress is being made in the preparation of the souvenir coins and bronze medals for the world’s Columbian exposition, and that they will be coined as rapidly as the facilities of the mint permit. He says he has accepted the de- sign for the coins prepared by the directors of the exposition as a substitute for the one originally chosen, and that there will be « slight delay in consequence for the reason that it will be neceseary to send to Spain to obtain the necessary material from which to engrave the design selected. The manufacture of the bronze medals, he says, will have to be given out by contract, as it will be impowible to produce them at the government mints. = Confident of Keeping Out Cholera.
