Johnson and Willard ere' declared to

ditton as their systems of training
could accomplish. The {.piarent en
durance of each 1? unlimited. Expert
opinion supports the belief that it
wi?! be a ?cry short or a very long
hght. There is leas actual betting
than on any similar match in years:
There are so roany uncertain angles
? to consider that big betters; are
doub.ful where to put their money.

which has boee provided. Several
thousand Americans have arrived
here, though the audience will be
largely composed of foreigners.
A great crowd gathered at the

And when the Sabbath was past, Mary
Magdalene, and Mary tlie mother of James,
and Salome, had bough* sweet spices, that
they might come and anoint him.
And very early in tho morning the first
day of the week, they clune unto the sepul
chre at the rising of the sun.
And they said among themselves, Who
shall roll us away the stone from the door of
the sepulchre?
And when they looked, they saw that the
stone was rolled away: for it was very great.
And entering into th? sepulchre, they saw
? young man sitting cn the right side, cloth
ed in a long white garment; and they were
affrighted.
And he said unto them, Be not affrighted:
Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was cruci
fied: he is risen; he is not here: behold the
place where they laid him.
But go your way, tell his disciples and
Peter that he ?oeth before you into Galilee:
there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.
And they went out quickly, and fled from
the sepulchre; for they trembled and were
amazed: neither said they any thing to any
man; for they were afraid.
