He arrived in Torpnto yesterday, and declared that he is particularly friendly with the New Orleans people who are promoting the meeting. "It will be a big success," he continued, "and nolwdy need have any flopbt of that. The lying stories about me were manufactured by Joe Knight, a wandering newspaper man, who turned up in New Orleans and did everything in his power to misrepresent the meeting, to its injury. I dont think he represented "Curly" Brown, or anybody else but himself. His trouble is a personal grievance against Judge Murphy for ruling off Moore Johnston and the horse. J. , Barr, at Norfolk, when Knight had some connection with the affair. He gave the New Orleans paper all that was published about me, and there isnt a word of truth in It. I am going back there next week, and I am as big a booster as there is for it." Toronto Globe.
