UUEI..Y there Is
Mots of news being
vrnftecl hither ntul
* to upon the breezes
Jthcso days of In-
Icnso Interest to the
lovers of the game ,
nnd not the least of
which is the pym-
nasties of t h n t
prlro-flghtlnp : u n-
start , ono Jny Jay
Corbott. I did not
J bestow the tltlo of
upstart upon the champion , but am willing
to fnthorlt on account of Its appropriateness
nnd adaptability , and If Jack McAullfTo Is
trilling 1 hold myself responsible for the ap
pellation.
There Is no denying the fact that Corbott
hna Invited the wrath of the most Influential
and powerful nportlng ontanlztttlon in the
world , the Coney Island club , nnd the
quicker ho squares accounts with It the bet
ter It will bo for his future advancement
nnd success. That ho U narrow minded , un
principled nnd as avaricious as the dovll Is n
truth well cxomplillea by his demeanor slnco
ho sprang Into public prominence by his de
feat of poor old played out Sullivan. Even
Mike Uoden. the Ilrotherly Love trial
horse , would bo In Corbott's shoes today had
ho been BO fortunate as to have/ been pitted
against John U on that evening In Septem
ber last. I have always been unswerving In
the declaration that this fight was no cri
terion of Corbett's capacity , and that before
I would acknowledge him the wonder that I
think ho Is , I would wait nnd sco him
face n Jackson , a Mitchell or n
( joddard even. I will say , however ,
basing my opinion on what I know of his Incomparable -
comparable action , that I think ho can whip
nny man In the same line of business In the
world today. Jarkson may bo able to turn
the trick and Mitchell stands a chance of
preventing a llnlsh , and that Is about as far
as I care to go. But if It comes to a light
with cither I'll bo compelled to lay my barrel
on the champion swaggerer of them all.
It U not moro than a month ago that Jay
any was stufllnir every gulllblo reporter ho
could got within hailing distance of with the
claim that Mitchell did not want to fight
him , that ho had not signed with the Coney
Island club , all of which is a fair sample of
Corbott's ' very corpulent stock of rot.
{ Mitchell docs want to light him , there Is lit
tle room for doubt there , but I hardly think
ho ever will. There are too many Intricacies
to bo traversed , especially by the handsome
Englishman , before satisfactory arrange
ments can be made for such an engagement.
My hope is though that they will fight , and
that Mitchell will win nnd win good and
hard , but It they do not nnd It comes to a try
of conclusions with Potcr Jackson , my sym-
| pathlcs go with the "nigger , " who , Insofar
as gentility , education or decencv goes ,
stands head and shoulders above Corbott.
The claim is now that the Columbian club
gets this mythical Corbott-MltclicH affair.
How can this bol Isn't Corbott's signature
with the Coney Island club just as binding
as it is with the Uoby people ? Ho has signed
with both , in full keeping with his tricity
character , and the result will bo that neither
will got the attraction , and If it ever docs
cvcntuato , It must bo in one of the arenas of
Now Orleans. Drive a railroad spike hero 1
Is It to bo supposed for a moment that a
, man of Charlie Mitchell's Intelligence and
caution will accept articles of agreement
bearing even the remotest relationship to
the Columbian document Corbett has made
his mark to. Not much. Ho accepts , how
ever , by cable , because ho is just as shrewd
as Jny Jay , and Intends to allow no oppor
tunity for a llttlo advertisement for Mr.
Mitchell to got away. It has been through
this very idined perspicuity on the English
man's part that hns enabled him to walk in
the clouds for fifteen years without the
chance of marring his beauty by mixing up
in actual conflict with any of Corbott's ilk.
Following -will bo found a few excerpts
' from the grotesque agreement Mr. Corbott
has made with the Itoby alliance. It was
evidently written By Hill Nye or Mark
Twain and Intended for a magazine article.
Instead of a clinch to a prize light. Will
Mitchell lay back and enjoy a good horse
laugh when ho rends themor will ho got out
his gold pen and In that broad callgraphy of
his spread his John Hancock beneath that
of the great theatrical thumper. Well. I
don't think , that is all. Uoad :
"Tho contest shall bo to a finish and shall
bo contested for under the rules of the
Marquis of Quccnsbury , the winner to receive -
, ceivo the full purse , without reservation. "
This is what Corbott and Mitchell have
ngrcod to over the wire. But read ono more
clause :
"It Is especially understood and agreed
that whenever , in the opinion of the ofllclal
roferco , the contest shall become brutal or
Inhuman , or when humanity may demand It ,
the roferoc may stop the contest nnd award
the decision on the relative showing made
up to the time of such stoppage. "
There you arc , the light Is to bo to a Ilnlsh ,
but Patsy Flaherty or Donnls Mudd , as ref
erco , can stop the mill the moment the
American gets the best of it. that Is if ho
wants to , and I wouldn't put it past him.
I Oh. no , Mr. Mitchell will llgnt under no such
ludicrous compact. Ho may say ho will by
cable , but that Is the only way no will nil
ho obligation by cable. Wlso Charllo.
In conclusion I clip ths following from the
Chicago News :
"In all of Corbott's past record his 'honor1
has not bound him with very galling chains.
HI * 'honor' ought to have impelled him to
light oft the draw with 1'otor Jackson. His
'honor' ought to have caused him to pay n
bill of SlfiO for newspaper clippings without
permitting his wife to bo sued and Judgment
obtained against her. Hut in financial
transactions Mr. Corbott's generosity has
boon about equal to Jits 'honor,1 a fact of
which Pat Sheody and Mlko Donovan have
borne witness. "
Hut of all humorous productions those ar
ticles of agreement to fight aru the most
laughable. Suppose Mr. Corbott should have
a theatrical engagement and fall to moot
Mitchell , who Is to go against the latter ?
There Is not much doubt that Mitchell will
fight , but $ , ' 0.000 has not been sufficient to
tempt Corbott to got within sight of Jackson
and decide that drawn battle.
The articles for the Hoby flght are not
what the sporting world wants. The light Is
for the championship , not fur humauo rea
sons. Sullivan was not protected by this
homeopathic ) clause , nor should Corbott bo.
In the past nrUo-llghters champions not
actors have stepped from the ring to the
pulpit. Some became lawyers of prominence ,
but it was for this modern era , when the
glove-lighter is called "so Intelligent , manly
and horo-llko , " that , with uo trace of ability ,
lie steps upon the suigo to pose for tiio'show' '
crs of silver and the applause of frail hands ,
Uoby has a "championship light. " Well ,
Washington park had a Derby , The besl
horse did not win the Utter , and those ar
tides for the light hint very distinctly ol
comla opera or farce comedy in the ring.
. And yet Mitchell has one important ad
vantage In this lluo-siua uCT.tlr , which Ii
( imposed to bo In Cornell's favor. If Ten
Allen is to bo believed , and ho was the lira I
' mnn to light under the Quccnsbury rules
the ring must IKJ sixteen fool square. Whor
It cornea down to a rigid Interpretation o :
thUi contract Mitchell can obtain this , urn
a great advantage It. will bo , too. It look :
os if the Ho by magnates did uol thoroughly
uudorstana tholr business.

sockdolagers In the law. nnd was so groggy
and In such a pltl iblo plight at the call of

humanely stopped the contest and awarded
It to Uichard.
The resurrection of Hilly Hawkins Is ono
of the marvels of these modern times. Billy
well remembers the day the Pilgrims landed ,
nnd got his first lighting Ideas at the funeral
games celebrated by Spartacus In honor of
Crixus In the an lent arenas about Home.
Hilly hasn't any more hair on his head than
Harnlc , the Louisville hasp ball maggot , nnd
Isn'l nearly as puissant with knee or mauley
as ho was that quiet evening In Juno up In
Quebec nearly a century slnco , when ho
knocked Harry Otlmoro through the window
In Pornotte's hall. Yet some deluded backer
unscrewed the slabs over Billy's sarcopha
gous a few days ago , dr.tggrd out his bones ,
nnd pitted them against 'Charllo Johnson -
son up In St. Paul. The inummiform
pug , despite Johnson's youth , power and ro
bustness , stayed for six rounds , but in the
seventh ho Jumped through the ropes , and
without as much as saying excuse mo. or
good evening , ran out of the club , then
'round n block or two and home. Ho claimed
that Johnson was fouling him with his
elbow , but In his cxtrcmo senility Billy
couldn't toll the difference between an elbow
nnd a good , big list , and as the latter was
being placed with frightful regularity and
system against his neck and jaws , ho con
cluded that the seventh round was about
time for him to pay the crowd Ills devoirs
nnd get.
Tomorrow night the Columbian club will
see its Ilrst notable contest Johnny Grltlln
ng.ilnst Solly Smith. It will bo of the hurri
cane order , and I will bo disappointed if
Johnny's straight smashes do not extract all
Of the championship aspirations from the
nut of the bulky Callfornian.

in the papers , I did not got "Old Jack , " the
pot donkey of Central park , Now York. Ho
will spend the sore and yellow leaf period
of his life , however , In plenty and comfort I
am pleased to add. Wo had a great flght in
bidding on him. I and n stranger , who was
bidding for A. H. Moore of Philadelphia ,
proprietor of Iho famous Clovcrdalo farm , I
afterward learned , wcro pitted against each
other. We went right at each other until I
bid ! 00.
"Five moro , " said the stranger.
"I'm bid | 305 , " shouted the auctioneer ;
"make it $ UO , " with a nod to mo. But 1
shook my head and sadly turned away. I
had offered just $1 a pound.
The policeman Is willing to swear that nt
my desertion Jack's eyes filled with tears ,
for ho wanted to take part in "Undo Tom's
Cabin" awfully hard.
Joe Choynski read your letter and was
much pleased at the remembrance. Our
mutual friend , "Gentleman Jack , " not Cen

Sully , old boy I you spurt too quloic ; save
your spurt until the finish hereafter.
The track was In very poor condition and ,
as the racing men claim , it was impossible to
make good timo.
The Omaha Wheel club sent down a big
delegation of jolly follows , who put life into
things generally.
Cox of the Omaha Wheel club received a
hard fall in the mile novice which bruised
him up considerably.
The Capital City Cycling club tendered
the visitors a banquet and smoker at the
Grand Ifotcl In the evening.
The Capital city boys are a royal lot of
fellows and Omaha would llko to see them , at
the Tourists moot on the 10th.
Landis of Hastings is another speeder
thai will bo In it henceforth. Ho "showed
up" in good form in the two-mile champion ,
The Tourist Wheelmen wore out fifty
strong , wearing their club colors and boom
ing their meet , which is booked for the 15th.
Holton of the Tourist Wheelmen had the
misfortune to break the framu ot his wheel
before the goiig rang for the first race and
rode his machine in his races held together
with tire tape.
Young Bolknap of Lincoln , who won the
boys' half-mllo race , Is a speedy lltilo follow ,
'as his limo will show. Ho crossed the tape
an easy winner in 1:29 : 1-5 , although some
claim 4-5 of a second moro.
Bert Myers of Poorla won the ono milo
open lap race with hands down , leading at
ovcry lap. His tlmo toy. the quarters was
poor , however , being 42 , 40 , 43 , 45 seconds re
spectively. '
Bui say I that boy Jack Culloy now
there is a boy that Is going to bo a racer.
JacK uses his head as well as his feet , Jack
is ono of the best mon the Tourist Wheel
men have In their racing team.
Captain Potter of the Tourist racing team
was much disappointed in not receiving his
Ualolgti racer as promised. Ho was com-
jiollcd to ride his road machine and consequently
quently did not make a good showiug.
Kussoll Condon of the Omaha Wheel club
fooled 'em ' all In the onc-mllo championship
races and in consequence of which ho is the
ono-mllo champion of Nebraska. Ho made a
beautiful ppurt for 800 yards at the finish ,
Holton pushing him ham.
Owing to the narrowness of tlio track sev
eral of the boys received hard falls , Cox ,
Pixloy , Borglum , Impoy and Grllllth especi-
ally. This Is a fault of the Lincoln track
that should bo overcomes if the intention is
to make it a permanent affair.
But for the vorv poor start thnt Holton
got in the one-fourth mlle champion raco.
little Willlo Pixloy would not have crossed
the tape first. As it was , thu wheels wcro
lapped nt the finish , and the race was ono of
the most exciting of any run.
Whore was Fremont- ana York ? The old-
timers looked for the jolly boys in vain.
Grand Island , Superior , Hastings , Alma ,
Kearney , Seward , Khvoocl. all sent delega
tions of wheelmen. Omaha sent down a
train load gaily bedecked with club colors ,
Holtou won the two-mile championship
with ease , tlio others not being in It to any
great extent. Mofkotl started In at a rat
tling puce to kill oft his mon , but for some
reason or other they were right after him ,
and ho finished second just ahead ot the
bunch , Holton having run away from them
at the eighth.
Visitors , upon presenting tholr credentials ,
wore given an aluminum souvenir pin and
the Capital Cycling club's colors. This waa
supposed to entitle the wearer to all the
privileges ot grand stand , etc. , but In some
cases It did not , owing to gome hltoh in the
arrangements. Another thing that marred
the otherwise good arrangements was the
Inability of the track oOlcials to keep the
rrowd away from the track itself. Thoj
crowded down llko cattle , obstructing the
view from the grand stand ,
Ono thing that racing men should learn , at
well as track ofllclals , and that is to anawoi
the call for each race promptly and to sei
that same Is douo. Had , this boon done- _

a
The five-mile handicap was ft beautiful
race and A fitting wind up for the day's pro-
cram. Twenty-one men utartod , Holton ,
Pixloy , Myers nnd Mnckott on sfiratch. The
tlrst three stayed In for n mild or two. then
dropped out. Mockctt punctured his tire
early In the race nnd quit. About this tlmo
the Denver phcnom , Bortlo Hanks , a 15-year-
old lad , started in from the 180-yard mark to
take his rnco , and the manner In which ho
mowed down his field was a sight for sere
eyes. The crowd went wild , hats wore
tossed into the air , handkerchiefs waved ,
men embraced each other and the ladles
mllcd tholr sweetest.
Omaha's two largests club captured every
thing In sight nearly and consequently
there was n grand fraternizing on the way
homo , tin horns , now brooms and club yells
prcnomlnated. Hero Is n summary : J. F.
Culloy , Tourist Wheelmen , won the ono mlle
novice ! l:0r : class race nnd got second In the
one-mile open lap raco. L. E. Holton , Tour
ist Wacolmen , won the two-mllo state
championship and took second in the onc-
quartcr mile championship and onc-milo
championship. Henry Predrlckson , Tour
ist Wheelmen , won the fat men's ruco.
W. A. Plxlcy. Omaha Wheel club , won the
one-quartor milo championship. Uussoll
Condon , Omaha Wheel club , won the ono-

itor of TUB line : Sivcn wcoks yet until the
game law is out , nrol the boys are already
laying plans for Uio ; glorious 1st September.
There were novoDfeottor prospects for good
shooting in most parts of the stato. In the
north the wlde. iirnad prairie fires caused a
good many birds to migrate farther south ,
and some of the old-tlmo favorite resorts
will bo found barren this season. ,
However , there are lots of places Nvhcro
birds will bo found thick as blackberries ,
notably along the B. ft , M. railroad from
this point west and on the Union Pacific
allroad from Lexington to North Platto.
; omo of the best shooting I over saw was
wolvo miles north of Gothenburg last fall ,
Hid It was n poor season for chickens on the
hole , I have not received , complete ro-
iorts from the northern part of the state
long the Elkhorn road , but the lires In
ilrown , Hock and Cherry counties must have
'ono considerable damage.
I understand certain sportsmen In Omaha
hlnk they have a mortgage on the shooting
.round Grceiey Center and are keeping the
act of thcro being ( rood shooting there very
; ulot. I doubt If the boys know what really
peed shooting is. I dnow of n place where
list season 200 chickens toll to two guns In a
lalf day. I am not giving the place away
hough. Oh nol Twenty birds a day is as
oed shooting as anyone ougnt to have so

It is romarlcud as singular , ana possi
bly nn indication of lack of patriotism ,
that the nvorugo American , always ex
cepting tchool children , cannot tell off
hand how many stars there now are in
his country's Hap. If any reader of this
desires to try the question on ten of his
friends he will probably find that only
three or four can give the correct num
ber oven after a minute of hard thought.
The ordinary reply will range from fonty
to forty-two stars instead of the correct
forty-four. The admission within four
years of North Dakota , South Dakota ,
Montana , Washington. Idaho and Wy
oming lias brougli the list up to the last
mentioned number. The shape of the
union has been changed from a square tea
a rectangle , and the stars are arranged
in six straight lines , the upper and lower
ones containing eight stars und the ro-
muining four having seven stars.
