Articles were signed in the Illustrated News office yesterday by Joe Glassey and Frank Donovan, the bantams, agreeing to battle according to Queensberry’s rules for 8100 a side and 65 and 35 per cent. of the receipts, four weeks hence. George Foster backs Glassey and Jack Golden is behind Donovan. Glassey bas not yet recovered from his fight with McGuinness. His lett eye shows much blood, and his right hand is swollen yet as a result of breaking Mo(iuinness’ jaw.

Vork Canoe C Jack McAuliffe has beon training for his glove contest to-morrow night with Jake Hyams in Palace Hall, Williamsburg, and says he will meet Jake at 138 pounds. Jack says it makes him rather weary to hear the sports say that he cannot reduce himself down to 133 pounds, and theieby come within the limit of light-weights. “*T have never fought at as heavy as 133 pounds,” said Jack. ‘*I would like to bet any one that I can bring myself down to 130 pounds and be as good as I would bo at 195." Jack has great faith in mutton, and he is swallowing about three sheep every day. He goes to bed at 9 o’ciock at night, gets up at 6 in the morning, eats a good breakfast of mut- ton, bread and coffee, and then walks to Walter Woodside’s place in East New York, a distance of about four miles, where he has fitted uv a gymnasium of his own. He has clubs, dumbbells, punching bag, bath and everything necessary to develop his muscles end enable him to bring himself into proper condition for fighting. Jack punches the bag from four to ten rounds in the morning, swings the club a while and then rests until after he has had his dinner at 1 o'clock. ‘Yhen at 2.30 he starts out for a walk of six or seven miles, comes back and takes a bath, rests and then walks td his hoine, No. 239 South Third street, Williamsburg, where he finds his supper and a charming little sister .
