There has been a revival of talk this aftor- noon about tomorrow night's event, when will be decided the mooted question of supromaocy vetween Jack McAuliffe and Billy Myer. The champion is in prime fight- ing fig, and when called on todny was as wonial as of old to his friends, To strangers Jack is reticent and resorved. Ho talks but little to men with whom he is not acquainted, bat speaks his mind freely when he secs proper to open his mouth, He de- clined to say anything about Myer other than to express the beliel that he con- widers him a good gamo man. He says he s confident of winning and 1is anxious for the affuir to be over in order that he may be in time 1o 8o Skelly whip Dixon on the Tollow- ing evening nrd get in fix for the full dress ocoaslon in whieh Sullivan and Corbett will be conspicuous figures.

He 1s not fond of being gazed at und is no talker, only when sur- rounded by his immediate friends.

Johnnte Eckert, who has alwuys been with Myor on his fighting trips, was in vte city 1ast night and told me that Billy is in better condition than ever before; that he is quicker, stronger aud better preparod to stand punishment than at any provious time in his career as a fighter. He says the Cyclone will win in less than twenty rounds.

There were two $2,000 bets found at_La Mothe's this afternoon and a number of $),000. The combinations are veing played only in a small way this afternoon.

'Barrettis celeorated for his firm- noss, good judgmont and quiet decision in dangerous oxizencies, and is eminontly fittod for tho responsible work cut out for him. Under his active supervision any sort of a hitoh or unpleasantuess is dscmed ab- solutely impossible.

Interest and excitement over Wednesday uight's batclo has, us I predictod yesterday, dwarted iuto absolute insignificance the fights betwesn MoAuliffe and Myer and be- tweon Dixon and Skelly.

There are a arge number, too, who declars that if Jim can evade this terrible visitation for five or six rounds that all the powers on earth and in the air cannot save the big fellow. A large delegation from Kansas City: in- cluding_Jones E. Becker, AL Hatch, Gus Zorn, Frank KEvarts, Billy Kerns, Johnay Bellis and Devon Whitfield, sporting editor of the Evening Star, has just lined up at the St. Charles register counter. Disk Roche, backer of MoAuliffe, and Billy Reynold backer of the lovelorn ex-Amateur Skell, are fust now surrounded by a big crowd ou the veranda. They are expatiating on their satisfaction with the situation and the pros- pects for thelr respective proteges.

Orders were given by Sullivan's backers to the trainers and attendunts Lo pack up ail their traps and remove. This was done and about. 10 o’clock tonight two coaches went to the St. Chales. From oue carriage alighted the eutire Sulli- van party. the champion being first to get out. Off a truck was dumped the party’s pugilistic pharaphanalia, Seven members of the party nurried into tho bouse aud took rooms on tho hrst floor al- ready ongazed. Charlio Johnson says tno move was made bacause the people of the house served only two meals a day and expected overyone to be on hand at the hour to ge their meals. The traiving ot a pugilist could not be conducted on such rigid lines, Steaks or chops might. be wanted any hour of the day ov night and that kind of & board ing house was not elastic enough for such noeds. They had agreed to puy 335 a day for soven persons and after supper this ever- ing they gave the landlady £0 for the day and go tout. The day was sultry though a brecze has revailed and a sharp shower was had. ohnson said tonight that Sullivan was neverin better shape. SiNDY GRISWOLD. SULLLY. CONDS, Phil Casey & nd Charley Johnson WIIl Act osslp of the City. NEw OrLeas, La., Sept. 4. —Obarley John- son and Phil Casey will probably be the big fellow’s seconds and Jack Ashton his bottle- holder. In addition to thess there will be & ropresentative of the club in the big fellow’s corner, as thero will be in the coraers of all the men. Launon sees in Sullivan a winner 1n afew rounds because Suilivan can hit harder and quicker than Corbett, has amplo wind, is remurkably clever and 'cun use bis hands as fast as the San Franciscoan, who, Launon says, loses his head when punished. ‘The Olympic club acted as host 10 the pub- lio toany and toward the club thousands of home peoplo and hundreds of visiting sports rode and drove from early foreroon until late at night. The new club nouse und arena were thrown open to public inspection and members ot the club showed visiturs around. Rube Frank, who 1s prominent in the affairs of the club, expressed the opinion today that there will be at loast 0,000 persous at each of the contests, If there aro the club ought to olear 0,000 on its risky investment, The bets outside the Fool rooms are very light and it is a surprise to find such a differ- once about backing opinions as existed smong tho betting men this evening. The Myer peovle talked with some contidence, but kept their money in their pockets in the hope of getting better odds. Tonight it was thought that McAuliffe would go to the post a favorite. Itis caloulated that New York money will bring a reversal i present odds. At the same Liwme the roports printed regard- ing the Williamsburger’s carousiug i quiet are having their effect ana the McAuliffe men now qualify their bossts that McAulffo will win, with the reservation, “If he is in coudition.” “hers were many pilgrims to the Myer- McAuliffe camps today. The crowd that went to see the Streator boy wus greater, of course, becuuse his quaricrs woro only on the outskirts of the city, Myer spent tho day quietly, doing light work only, aud bhav- ing but little to say of the contest Lomorrow evening. All the money that is o be put up on the two men must be in the nands of the stakeholders before the tight begins, The police bave rigid instructions to enforce the rule forpidding betting at tho ringsiae, and very few persons, therefore, will benefit by seeing the men strip. Corbett's coming is awaited with interest. His reception will be quiet and those who have it 1n charge will try to arrange to avoid a crowd when the pugilist gets here. He will be met by President Campbell an commit- teo of the Southern Athletic club, but will probably be tuken off the train- before it roaches the depot and driven through the rear of town to the clup nouse.

JACK MWAULL FFE. Every man capable of intelligent thougnt has an opinion, or ought to have, and if it be honest it is his right to expross it insofar as it contains no inteat or purpose to mislead or deceive. As the pub- lio is awars, many alleged authori- ties, and all of the sports, have decided theso fights, but the trouble is their decisions are far amiss from .unanimity. One element is as sure as they are that the “sun do move' that Biilly Myer will never be in the opening battle tomorrow night, while another is equally certain that Jack McAuliffe is in for a thorough and incontinent beating. And so it goes. If all men thought alike this world would be an olla podrida in which smooth sailing would be an unkuown quantity. Of course under such conditions there could be no pugilistio differencos, consequently no fights, no excitement, no fun, and the only way we could lose our monev would be to tie it up In an ola sack and sink 1t in the river. Sandy Isn't a Protessional Prophet, Ihavebeen askea many times, both in Omaha and since my arrival here, just how I considered safe to bet on the opeming vattie, as well as the others. You know the sport is prone to ask advice; just so 8 man is presumed to kuow a triflo more about this or that event by reason of his position, sur- roundings or ability, is all he cares about. He wants his ideas and as mauy of them as he can get. To these I invariaoly reply. that L am no tipster, snd that [ nover advisea man to bet a penny on anything or anybody. Lam free to tell what I believe, nowever, ac- companying the sawme with the reasons for the faith that is within me ana let Time do the rest. As to tomorrow night's fight. Though I honestly admit that the Streator boy is a rattling good specimen of Lhe pugnacious enus nomo, 1 cannot sea Just why his friends and buckers think that he is going to have a regular holiday picnic with the Williams- burger. Thnat neither he nor his backer, big Alf Kenneuy, really thought so throe months ago, 15 eyidenced by their dilatoriness and extreme cailion in making the match. Though they pretended to hold the doughty Jack's pretentions as & champion in sov- ereign contempt, they were sedulously scrupulous in _ nailing him__ down to the most stringent tlerms. “Actions speak louder than words, and the actions of the Myor contingent in this affair clearly re- veal that they regard McAuliffe as a most dangerous oppcnent. ‘That he will prove such depends wholly upon how carefully he nas propared imself, and Johnny Grifin told me this morning that he never saw a fighter in better trim, that he was fit to fight for his life, as well as that of his friends. There 15 one thing that can be dspended on, and that is that Myer has neglected not oven the slightost and nost minute detail to get himself into the very highest fettle, This is to be no North Judson shennanigan—the fight will be to a finish, and when the men once crawl througn the roes there will bo 10 escaps until one bocomas the victor and the other the victim. Mac 1s & Poor Tralner. Myer is well and fitas was possiblo for tho power of human agenocy to make him, and McAuliffe owes it to himself and friends that he is equally well. Jack never hus taken kindly to the rigors of athletic prepar- ation or restraint of any species, He has al- ways had & decided penchant for the dry, white and fizz, bas indulged to excess and dearly loves the lusses, oh. But if he has abjured these 1n the past six weeks, and I think he has, to the requisite extent of fit- ting fig, at any rate, I think he should be able to land the Cyclone, not, however, until afier he has beon abundantly convinced that he has been in & fight. By trade McAuliffe was a cooper, as were those other Jucks, Dempsey and Skelly. He has an honest, opsu countenance, & glib tongue, and & model lightwelght form, Ho way 26 last March, having sesa tho light of day in tuat month, at Cork, Ireland, in 1860 He first apneared in the arena as an amateur boxer in 1384, and since then has reeled off & rocord of which be may well feel proud, On July L 1884, at New York, be beat Bob Mace in threo_rounds, sabseguently polish- ing off Mike Leary n four; then won the feacherweight championsbip of Americ Patsy Hogan went down ia onoe; Billy Whit- ney in one; George Klien in four; Jack Korcher in seventepn; won the Gramercy Atbletic club tournament for the champion- ship of America, February 19 and 20, 1885, at Now York. In this tournament he aefeated Harry Isasoand Jack Reddy i four and five “rounds each; then Jack Wara suc- cumbed to his superior prowess in three; won the New York Athletio club tourna- ment for the ligntwoight cbampionship of America in 1855, defoutiug John Kllings- worth 1n three rounds; then came Jack Sperry in three, Bill Elligsworth in three, Hurry White in four, Joo Mithtikain two, Bill Youug In four, Buck McKenan in t wo, Jack H?por in six, Billy Frazier in tweo ty- ore, and Harry Gilmore in twenty-elght. ‘The latter right was in January, 1887, when Harry Gilmore was rated Lho mosy sciontifio lightweight in the world, IL was a desperate and bloody fight, but the Kanuck weut down after one hour aud fifty- oue miuvtes of ferocious struggle. Juek's Hardest Fights. The following March Jack met Jom Car- ney, called the English man-killer, at Revere Bedob, Mass., for 5,000 side and the light- welght champlooshin of the world, It was a draw, atter five bours of territio work. ‘The next yvear be fought a ten-round draw with John L.

His next fight, considered by many the greatest of all tis eareer, just why 1 have nevdr been able to make out, occurred on February 13, 1889, at North Jugson, Ind., with the man who 18 to again try copclusions with him tomorrow nignt, Billy Mydr, ¥4 vaunted Crelone of Ilirois, They fought, or made a protense at fighting, for sixtv-four rounds, both men quitting the rin ost as sound, barring the experditurd a vast amount of wind, as they were when thay entored it.

'L:n Jack fought Mike The followin, Daly,a trothor of #3#hiny, the Omaha feather- weight, a fiftesn-round araw at Bangor, Me., Daly’s home. MeAuliffo unauestionably had much the best of the contast, Although Mike gave him some pretty = hard kuocks. McAuliffe's groatest fight was londisputa- bly that with Jimmy Carroll vefore the Ci Ii- fornia Athlatio club, Maroh 21, two years ago. Tne battle raged for forty-one round; and at many stages it was atoss-up who won, the end finding both men grogey und ready to sticcumb from shoer exhaustion, but tho dapper Jack summoned up , by almost super- human resolntion, sufietont strength to knock Jimmy cut.

Austin (3ibbons, whom he was cutting into ribbons whon the police interferred, and but a few months since punched Billy Frazier, the preacher vug, into oblivion in three of what was to have been a ton-round go, Expected to Make thoe Pace. Jock is naturally expeoted to be the ag- Rressor tomorrow night, as he alwayvs is, but Myer is known to have an excellent defense and a right that teils 1ts story every timoe it lands, They say tonight that Mver ‘is like a piece of steel, and yer MoAuliffo is a slight favorite. They are the most nly matched men, I think, ‘on the weei's card, and the man who gives odds on either mun is cer- tainly ignorant of tno ethies of betuing. But is there any further argument necos- sary o impress upon the skeptical that, the New Jersey lad is and always has been @ crackerjack at the great game of nit, stop and getaway! If so, tomorrow night will furnish what is lacking. Billy Myer's Susy Career. While Billy Myer, who hopes to bo crowned champion hightwelght of America tomorrow _night, ix undoubtedly much more than an ordinary pug, thero is not much in his carecr to convince one that tie is a world beater. . Hlo camo into meas; able prominence for the first time in 158 when he whibped both Billy Manning and Georgo Murphy. The following_spring he found an _easy victim in Charlie Lomansey, whom ho put out in three triple-oxtract rounds. In 1885 ho furmished & surprise party for the Chioago short-nawed by lulling BULY MYER. their pet, Paddy” Welch, a really clever figuter, intoa quict’ slumber in one round. He got into tBaV pump-handle swing shortly “tafter squaring off, and Paddy nevet 'knew whav hurt him until the next mdriitiz. Charlie Daly, the St. Louis boy who'wentup to Omaha in 89 o do battle with Jimimy Lindsay, has the credit of miving the'*Cyclone bis warmest battle. They fodgh$’ av" Wooaford, Il., in 1886 for'$1,000, aptf hal:Daly haa some other man in his cortidr besides that’ ofd stff, Tom Allen, hie would have won _the fight bevond question. The fight was *‘hot paper” from start to finish, belg iitorsporsed with numerous knockdowns and other pleusant- ries that go to make up a fight'as is a fight, but Daly outfought himself ana lost in the thirty-tirst round. A year later Billy put the Kibosh on_to Buffalo Gallagher in three rounds, and two months after that handed Harry Gilmore a receipt for like value rej coived. At this time Gilmore was still posing as the champion of Canada, and although he was stale aud had been punched out so often that a gentle push in the neck was all that was necessary to accomplish this, ho gave the Cyclone a rip-snorting fight as long as is Iasted, which, however, wus for ouly five rounds, Gilmore would not acknowledge that a man of Myer's ragged action was hit superior, and he insisted on another trial and nothing loth, Biliy geverously gave it to him, knocking bim out with a siugle cut- loose from the shoulder, in just twenty-eight seconds. This exploit was achieved av North Judson, where two years later he met Mo- Auliffe, Myer’s next conspiguous engagement was at Minneapolis, with Danny Needham. It was for twenty rounds and Myer got the decision on points, although it should have been adraw. Two years ago Billy beat Jack Hopper in six rounds, and in that year met his first reverse. This was at the hiands of Andy Bowen, & vicious colored fighter, who whipped Lim soundly before one of the clubs in this city, One year later they met again, this time before the Olympic club, and after thirty-two rounds of hard fight- ing, in which Bowen was always the aggressor, it was called a araw. Myar's ' lust and best battlo was that u year ugo with Jimmy Carroll before tho the Olympic elub, on which occasion the old veteran was doclsively beaten. This Evening Will Settle It, Tomorrow vight wo will se exactly what Billy is made of. Fis frionds claim that ho is another mau from whit ho was when he met MeAuliffe at North Juason, and predict that boe will prove a ‘lead-pips cinch” to- morrow night, but I seriously doubt it. All of Myer's past viotories Lo owes be- yond dispute to his superior streugth and bowers of enduranco, He has never dis- playea auy skill or cloverness worth men- tioning. and 15 u disagreoable sight while in aotion in the ring. He has a right arm mo- tiou like that of a windmill and skulks about instead of manfully fucing the music, T morrow night, however, according to his partisans, we are to have a change. Heis to mix up with Juck, and, well fellows—look out, we ure 1n for a whiolg lot of fun. ANDY GRISWOLD.

' The train was to run tol@aarlottesville for brenk- fast, but owing to thd®lelay in gotting away from Washington th’’program was changad and they stopped o¥e¥¥at Daovilie, where an oxcellent mear waw sorved, Corbolt ute o hearty breakfast. s 1o One of tho mostuneticoable events of the trip was woen Coppett, efter his car bad been attached tayuthe special, sauntered through to greet Bupdat'Mike” Donovan. As he entered the cueit'Vassar” a swall baby boy was saylng bis wevening prayers, when Corbett was attracted to him by his port chirp. Corbett patied ena petted the child, and . no child, after praying for its mamma and pups closed its almple praying by wish- ing that “‘God would bless Mr. Corvett.” The party left Danville shortly afier 9 o'clock, fully two bours behind the Ume scheauled, The run from Washingion to Danville was a fast onho.:uu tho IV.':I‘I}:(:’I‘A:D:’; the passengers were shaken up so Ihl!?‘lh-y‘:ould not sieep. The Danville people turned out in full force to see CorbeLt. I was pot & howling, sbouting crowd, but more of & oritical ussemblage. The story of -the fight and b betweon Corbett and Daly is false, Daly s stlll ln the party and has not even » scrateh or mavk of any de- soription o indicate that he ever bhad any difficulty with Corbett or any one else. Oun the contrary thoy are on Lhe bestof terms, and both empbatically deny haviug bad any dificully whatever. Warren Lewis did not get a chance to see Corbett until this moruing, aud the big Cal- MONDAY, SEPTEMBER ifornian was asleep when Lowis, Parson Davies and their party boarded the train at Washington. Loewis was very much pleased with Corvett's appearance and said that he was just the shape that Hall was 1n when he whipped Pritohard. 1t is bis opinisn that it won’t do for the Sullivan people to offer big odas when they reach New Orleans. The majority of the people of this train wili go straignt through in order to take in the Mc- Auliffe-Myer fight. Jim and Joe Shake Hands. “Parso; mon on pugliism and succeeded in convert- ing both Corbett and Choynski. They shook hands aud buried the hatchet, aithough thoy have been bitter enemies for many years They fought thres bitter and bloody battles. Corbett won all three, At Salisbury a very large crowd of people gathered around the train and yelled like Inajans for Corbett to show himsolf and they were mora than surprised to soo Corbeit and Chovski make tneir appearance to- gether, chatting pleasantly as they showed themselves to tho people. Av Greensboro Corbott pleasant little speech to the crowd and was heartily cheered. Corbott and Choynski made up between Greensboro and Salisbury and much credit is due to Bugens Comiskey of the New York Athletio club for the able manver in which he engineered the moeting betweon theso pugilists, Thero was rejoic. ing all over the train when it was learnod that these gladiators had shaken hands and made up, as thoy were schoolboys together and had not onlv fought their boyish battles together, but had allowed that bitter feellng toward one another to grow until they fought it out as men in the prize ring arena. Joe admitted that Jim was a superior puwilist, and wished him success in the great battle witn Sulllvan in New Orleans. He then presented Corbett. a wishbone, stating that it was brought from Kurope with him, and hoping that this would bring him wood luck. i At Salisbury a fellow boarded the train made quite a and asked Corbett if he would kindly allow | lnm to feel his muscle. The big Catifornian smiled pleasantly and let him foel his arm. “By golly, you are all right there, and I will bat you win." It caused considerable amusement for tho boys, but the old foliow went away perfectly satisfled. A", Wushington Mike Donovan got jostled 10 a crowd, and by the tme he got back ho discovered that e had been ‘‘touched” to the extent of $30, The Corbeit special train reachod this place about 1 o'clock today, where Corbett’s training car was cut loose, and after bidding the party goodbye Corbett and his trainers took dinner and the special left for New Orleans. . Presented with n Rabbit's Foot. After resting an hour or so Corbett set the quiet little town of Charlotte in an uproar by jumping intoa carriage and driving rap- idly into the country, where he took a run of a fow mwutes, and 1t was with difficulty the accompanying carviages managed to keep up with bim. Thoe boys on their bicycies wero left in the distance. as the gait was a trifle fast for them and thoy were forced to give up the chase. When he reached the outskirts of the *own he put on his sweater and jumping into his carriage was driven rapidly to his training car, where an hour or more was spent 1n the liveliest kina of exercise, such nching the bag, wrestling and togging with McVey, and then sparring with Daly for forty wninutes, after which he skipped the rope and then took a bath and was ravbed | down. Tho next houror so was spent in lounging around the training car, while everybody for riles around the sieepy old town even to the mon, womwen and children, gathered around the car and gazed at Cor: bett as though he were some wild animal. At half past 5 o'clock 8 committee from the North State Social club callea witn car- riages for Corbett avd his party and took them up to their club ronms. They were re- ceived by the club officials and members and @iven a bearty welcome. A half hour thus spent, and after declining a ver: ing nvitation to visit the Your Christian association rooms, the party were driven to their hotel, where a diuner was walting. In the evening Corbett and y took a long walk before retiring for the night. As Corbett was abou* to enter his hotel he was | mot by a committee of the employos of the | Richmona - & Danville railroad, who, with great pomp preseuted him & rabbit's foot. Corbett saia ho was not going to take it; but when he was informed that it was an omen of good luck ull through the south, he accepted it with thanks and .was heartily apolauded. TALKS WITH THE LONDON SPORT! Jackson, Slavin, Pony Moore and Others Think “Sully” Has His Work Cut Out. [Copyrighted 1592 by Jamas Gordon Bennett.) Loxpoy, Seot. 4.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tur Bre.|—The cpinion of sporting men whom I approached today in reference to the comiug contest between Suliivan and Corbett, is that Sullivan will win provided he 1s in first rate condition; if not, they thick Corbett will come out of the affray victorious. The National Spor club, which is the center of the Engiish sporting world, is almost deserted at present owing to the absence of & majority of the members, who have gone to the continent or are enjoying themselves on moors. Thoro is little 1f any vetting av 100 to 70 in favor of Sullivan, Peter Jackson, whom I saw there is awaiting the resuit of the fight with unusual anxiety. “ feel confident,” said he, “‘that Corbett will keep Sullivan busy for a long time. It took Sullivan over two hours to put Kilrain out, while Corvett accomplished the feat in two rounds. 1f there is any truth in tho re- poris Suliivan hus been unavle tv traiu into fit condition. His feet are said to be bad, which shows he is not able to stand hard atbletic work. Under these circum- stances | should think Corbett stands a spiendid chance of beating the Bostonian.” Jackson Will Not Challenge, “What is your intention?” was asked. *Do u intend to challengo the winuer?” “No, I shall not chaliengo the winner, but I am hopefui that I will be able to meet Cor- bett. When Isay [ will notcnallenge the winner I mean that I do nov inwend to make a bid, but I stand ready vo wako a match with any one.” Fleming of the National Sporting club said: *I have never seen Corbott, and can only judge of Sullivan’s abilities by the exhi- bition of sparring which I once wituessed. J am under the improssion that Corbett wiil give him considerable trouble, for the Cali- fornian has the reputation of being wonder- fully agile and a pile-driver hitter. I look forward to a good fight. Fraok Stavin was serving bitter ale and Scoteh whisky to a row of admivers who stood four deep iu front of his bar in Jermyn street this evening when 1 asked him what be thought of the coming fight. Slavin Kavors Corbett. “1 think it will be a very long tussle and my money is on Corbett,” sald he. “He soems 1o me to be & botter man in many re- spects than Sullivan. In the first place he 15 much younger, more scientific and is in better condition than the big fellow, but I do not want you to subpose Sullivan is going to be whipped straight off, Ho will make a game fght because he kuows very weil that his reputation as a fightor 1s atswke. Io his best form, however, be bas never been equal to Corbett's prosent state. Suliivan bas always depended on bis brute strength 1o gain bis victories, and I am certain it will uot avail him much this time. Jackson is & better man than Sullivan and Corbeit bas stood him off. I wunt you to sy for me,” continued Slavin, *that o winner of the fight for $1 1 shall go to America two or three montbs after my Lwo saloons are ia good running order and ['want to make & muteh with Corbett, Sullivan or Jackson, preferably tho latter, but I will Tight any one who covers my money.

Austin Gib- bons, who goos fnto traintug at Tottenham Monday for fight with Abbott, thinks the {fornian will give a ¢ood uccount, of him- self.
