This illusion Is usually dlssl- Sated by the voice of his trainer requesting Im to join In a little spin down the road for TBAINXB BILLY SELAXIT. the purpose of getting up an appetite. Then he awakes to a realization ot the fact that time has not been called for tho chlet evont ot his pugtllstlo career, and patiently resumes the routine o! his preparatory work. The cottage which Corbott occupies Is about a mile from Asbury Fark. It Is a neat build ing, with a opaclous veranda running around the front. It Is the property ot V. U. Brady, Corbett's manager, and In addition to Brady and Corbett there are Ililly Uelaney. who has trained the Callfornlan for all his bnttles; Jlra Daly, Corbott's sparring partner; Dennis Dil lon, a Callfornlan, who assists In the training, and a number of servants. As a place of preparation for a physical contett Corbett's location Is unsurpassed. The barn In which his Indoor work Is done Is fitted up like a gymnasium. First is the inev itable punching bag. and the ono whloh he uses Is unique. It Is a pear-shaped leather bag. the stom end being attached to the sus- fiensorr rope. Tho bag Is about twenty-four nches long nnd three feet In circumference at the thlskost part, near the bottom. It Is In flated with air. The bag was 1m ented by Cor- srABMo r-AnTNrn jim dalt. bett, and the one now In uso was presented to him by the (llrmplc Athletlu Club of Ban Fran cisco, Corbett claims superiority for the bag by reason that a mtt Imru blow Is required to send It to the celling, and It returns with a velocity anil lorce which makes it nocossarr for tho punchor to keep on tho alert nnd brace hlniFoll.

Arm and leg pulleys anil n wrist-strengthening ma chine ure fastoneil tn tho walls There are also a ten-pound tossing ball and a cannon ball, which Corbett tosses from one hand to the other for tha purpose ot strengthening his bands. The branch of his training which gives him the most vigorous exercise is. however, the handball ourt..whlch adjoins the barn on the ocean side. It is very well constructed, and not only affords splendid exercise, but also unlimited sport Corbett naturally docs not indulge every day in all the features noted, but varies thom. lie does all his In door work in tho morning and walks during the afternoon, which is direct ly opposite to tho system emploved by Sullivan, who walks in tho morning and takes his gymnastic oxerclso In tho aftornoon. The Callfornlan says that if he walked in tho morning he would feel too tired to do much work in the afternoon. Corbett has now been T083INQ THX TEN-I-OUND BALL. training four weeks, the work being directed toward strengthening tho arms, keeping tho wind in good condition and maintaining a (rood state ot health. He will not begin Ills lard work until the 1st of August, when he will put In four weeks of good, solid effort. At prosont Corbett weighs 185 pounds stripped, nnd he expects to enter the ring at between 1K5 nnd UK) pounds, while Hulllvnt hones to weigh in the neighborhood of 'JOj pounds.

The young man's fnco is browned, his eyo bright, amlhls llesh Is hard as a rock. Those who saw the thin, pale-faced Corbett lost win ter would hardly reeognlzo him now. except for the pompadour, the cheery voice and the hearty grasp of tli hand. He has tnken on between twohoaud Alteon pounds of flush in the last few months. There is one thing quite oertain. and that is. that barring accidunt Jim Corbett will entor the ring on Sept. 7 next In shape tn battle for his oxlstenco.

Included in the throng that watched tho pugilist at work were half a dozen ladles, who took great interest In tho proceedings.
