Morris was anxious to know who he might be asked to meet, awl in response the proprietor of tho Stadium sent the names of Lester, Lanr. M'Vea, and "Jim" Flynn. Woodman's- communication also stated that "Jim" Flynn' was already under way from New York, and Joe Jeanne'tte would soon bo hot foot, in his wake. The whole party will probably be fellowpas'sengers with "Tommy" Burns. "Dan" flynn is another one in tho list. Ho defeated "Jim" Barry reoontly.
