CHAT WITH THE BOXERS The Suprtme Question Now Agitating the Red Hots Association, FOR JULY A BIG TROTiING SESSION Tomorrow ase River Fistiann e Horses and Shooting Acro Breoders' The question thatis still agitating the sporting world is, will the big international | championship mill between Charlie Mitchell | Judging from ve that demon Corbett come off? ations Tam led to be it will.

If both men arein regard, and confid means both must be returned a winner on Janua 95, That Corbett feels just as he suys he does I do not doubt, but it 15 hard to beievo thut Mitchell is on the level in all that cmanates from him. Yet there s little ground for doubting the sturdy Briton, as confidence has always heen his® stock in trade ever since he has been in the business. He has always dono, sooner or later, what he almost invariably his de verified. When he w John L. at Chantilly ld Blaklock that he would tight for a draw, and pet it. And that is really what he did.

Yet they may, anyway I hope so. T wae also a little disappointed in Charlie's movements, and am much afraid he has fallen back somewhat so far as quickness and agllity are conceroed, and I told him so. Oh,'says he, ‘you think so, but I'Ll fool yo Quick or slow, if [ can lay that,’ and Mitcl ell held up his right admiringly, ‘on Jimmy’s Jaw ance or twice he will have dewlish littlo time to think about the pace cutout.’ 1 told him I would be there and would pull hard that he might get it there, but that T thought he did not fully appreciate what he was going up against: that Corbett was the quickest man with both hands and feet that [ had ever seen. ‘It may be, he replied, sthat L am misguaging the American’s abil- ity as a fighter, and if it turns out so, why then all the greater will be my loss and humihiation, but I am since when 1 say that I do not think he is any match for me.’ Then he added that if the unexpected— think of the fellow’s nerve—did happen he would ask no favors of any one, but take his defeat like a man and a sportsman should.” From this on out until the might of the fight the sporting columns of the daily prints will doubtless teem with sago dpinions and counselings. We will be fur- mished with all_sorts of comparisons trom which cither side will doubtiess be able to pick out much that is comforting and en- couraging.

Carroll, who is now badly erippled with rheuma- tism, lives in Helena, Mont. For soven- teen years he has kept the diary under lock and key, although he fr quently been importuned to give its con- tents tothe lceal papers. Each entry was made with a lead pencil, while the writer sat around the campfire of his mess at n t, and it is for this reason t his observations are of more than sing intorest. almost illegible chirography of the first page of the yellow book, says the Chicago Herald, tells how Lieute ant Kendrick’s command left Fort Ellis on May 15, 1876, For four days the ox- pedition battled with snowstorms and high winds, and to make matters worse one of the commissioned offic became boisterously drunk Too Drunk to Give Oxders. “The officer was so intoxicated writes Carroll, under date of June 18, “‘that it was with thie greatest difliculty that he was enabled to make himself understood.” His face was bleeding from the rolling he got in the wagon. “Itwas a sad sight,” the entry continues, ‘‘to sec a government officer in - command of so important an expedition perfectly helpless to carry out the orders of Gen- cral Gibbon, and the comments of my men were anything but flattering * * = We have no guide and no one in the train knows the country below Baker's butte,” 2 [t was Lieutenant Kendrick's orders to reach General Gibbon with ali haste, as it was feared that the command under this officer was suffering for supplies. Fierce rain and {snowstorms prevented the expedition making much headway until Sunday, May 1. Under this date Carroll writes: '+ We were startled ati 11:45 o'clock last night by the discharge of 4 gun in the vicinity of camp, and on going around to post 3 found that one of the soldiers had shot and killed the sergeunt of the guard, It was a rather sad affair. We bukiett the body early this morning. All the wien seemed impressed and little wus said. “T'he order issued the night before was to shoot anybody outside the picket lines who, did not answer the challenge with two whisties. The sergeant evidently didn't undevstand vhe order. The entrics fram this time.until June 2 tell of the hardships of the command in its efforts to reach General Gibbon. Water was so scarce at times that th mules beeame surly and weak from thirst, and it was only by the most gruelling work that any progress was made through the gumbo roads and swollen streams. On June 2 the exped tion moved down the right bank of Devil Froze creek to the Yellowstone, where wood and grass were good and plentiful. While camp was being made here a de- tuchment of soldiers was sent out to shoot game. They returned late at night weighted down with the tongues, hearts and saddles of elk, antelope and buffalo. On the following day the command crossed Big Porcupine creek and went into camp sixteen miles from General ibbon's bivouac. It was 2 o'clock the next afternoon when Lieutenant Ken- drick’s forlorn-looking outfit arrived at Gibbon's camp. It was a noisy welcome that the infantvymen received as they trudged along in front of the big supply wagon. Preparing for Battle, Following the old Stanley road of 1873 Licutenant Kendrick's command returned to the river where it went into camp. On June 16 it was roported among the soldiers that a scout was to be made up the Rosebud, and two days later Major Reno's com- mand of companies of the Seventh cavalry drew up on the opposite side of the viver, 1t isat this point that Car- roll's diary becomes more interesting, for he tells in his homely way about the enthusiasm which pervaded the camp when the seouts reported a great Sioux village on the Big Horn river.
