Mr. Brady arrived from New York this morning accompanied by Howard B. Hackett, When asked about signing articles Mr. Brady swid: “I cau't say anything about that. When Mitchell's money is up the match is made.

There are a lot of people there who want to see Corbett whipped because he whipped Sullivan. I hope they will keep on and bet their money. We'll get it— that’s all.” How is Corbett?” ie is laid up with a sore throat and is not laying.” P'About what weight will the men enter the | ring. “Mitchell will weigh about 175 pounds and Corbett 183 pounds.” “Have you had any offer of @ purse from the New Orleans clubs?” “Not yet. ‘They are waiting until the match is concluded.” eee RUMORS ABOUT NEW ENGLAND.
