The Britt family wears light yellow spring overcoats of the latest cut, checked gray trousers, pearl gray vests and all the signs of Mmancial prosperity that can be embodied in ties. The eye that is undazzled by all 1 this can readily distinguish Jimmy from Billy by the fact that Jimmie carries his awful right arm in a plaster wast, sole souvenir (excepting some picayune $16,022.50) of the recent \glagh with Young Corbett. That arm was broken between wrist and elbow, jand will not be fit for service until several months have passed. tzsimmons Greets Britt. The first to greet James in New York was Robert Fitzsimmons, who bad been trotting up and down the pletform waiting for the Britt special to arrive. Bob challenged Britt to meet him at the Iightweight limit, but Wimmy declined to train down to wel, ight until his arm was in shape.
