VWhnt looked like a
Srcal Hvo pugilistic
Bcoup d'etat over In
Jthat big lighting
arena on "this occa
sion turns out to
hnvo been only n
rtcoup do theater
5 after all , much to
the disRust of these
vrho are In the game for the game Itself and
not In U for revenue only.
I was present on the occasion and not only
aw the whole affair , but heard every word
that It was possible for any ono to hear
ipokcn by cither Corbott or Parson Davles.
My press box was Immediately In front of
Corbott's reserved chair , not moro than two
( cot of space separating Us , , and wo were
both there throughout the night's perform
ance , and I never thought of molestlnp him
once. Hut I old pay a good deal of atten
tion to hlm { however , and caught every frae-
tnent of his conversation that was possible
for ono to catch , and a lot of rot it was at
that.
I was In Domtnlck O'Mnlley's offlco In the
Unity building In the morning and he told
mo that Corbett , who Is now posing as a
freak In a clop-trnp fide show on the Mid
way Plalsanco , would bo the club's especial
Btuest that night nnd from the ring would
make a full statement as to his iwsltlon In
the Mitchell affair In regard to Us connec
tion with the Coney Island and Columbian
clubs , nnd that ho would refute the slurs
and ugly imputations heaped upon him by
Judge Newton , the businesslike match
maker of the big club near the sea. I told
Domlnlck I thought it would bo a nice thlnp
for Corbett to do , for if there over was a
prize fighter who wanted to square himself
with n disgusted people that prize lighter is
Jay Jay Corbett.
But did Corbott do what O'Malloy had
mapped out for him ? Did ho explain the
status of the Coney Island-Columbian dis
pute ? Did ho refute any slurs or Imputa
tions ? Not much. Ho did mount the plat
form , however , like the waggcring bratrgart
that ho is and got the call in ono of the most
Idiotic bluffs of the age , and the immense
congregation of red hots were in a state of
beatitude at the thorough routing the big
puncher received at the hands of Parson
Davles.
It was about half past 0 when Corbott
came into the big building , well in front of
Billy Delatie.v and Prof. Donaldson , where
the cYowd could .make no mistake in the
man , but instead ol receiving , the tre
mendous reception that some of the Chicago
papers said ho did , there were a few spasmodic
medic yclis from some ticer laden enthusi
asts on the back seats , and that was all.
There was nothing like the old ovations that
used to bo tcndored.tho real champion when
ho showed himself in such a public place ,
and , in fact , the demonstration was not
nearly so decided us that which occurred
when Qcorgo Dixon , the little colored cham
pion , quietly entered nnd took his box.
There were few men there sports or other
wise who had any extra breath to waste on
the Midway curiosity. _ _ _ . , *
After DomlhlcJc.O'MnJJeyhad entered the
ringaridstfffed that the Columbian club had
' c.oncjijaod to donate the sum of t250 , X ) to
the widows and orphans of the heroic lire-
men who had lost their lives in the cold
storage lire that afternoon , the outburst
flora the crowd was tremendous , it made
both earth and atmosphere vibrate , and
picked up the big roof of the club house
which lay conveniently outside ready to bo
hoisted in place , and carried it far out on the
lake. But when President O'Malloy stopped
to the ether side of the ring and repeated
his speech with the amendment that it was
$250 the club would donate , the sllcnco was
so thick you could have hoard a car load of
railroad iron fall on a tin roof.
O'Mulloy's elocutionary flroworks over ,
the smiling president turned to Corbett's
box and waved him hither. The big lubber
hesitated n moment with the coyness of a
school girl about to road her first
essay on "Beyond the Alps , Lies Italy , "
but it was easily to bo socn
that thorp wasn't enough log chains In the
Michigan pineries to have kept him off that
atago that night. With his dramatic ) pres
tige heaven save the mark gone , and his
fighting fame following fast , ho know ho
must do something to revive his withering
laurels. So llnally he buttoned up his
Prlnco Albert , rose from his chair and
stopped over onto the reporters' desk and
tried tq crawl through the barb wire fence
surrounding the arena. Ho was too excited
and too caper to get where the crowd could
all see him , however , and had to give it up
as a bad Job. Then instead'of stepping
down into the alsloand walklng'round to the
entrance to the rlng.ho tramped'along the re
porters' deskcopy , load pencilsbouquets and
all , clear 'round to the rate , nnd pompously
strode In. Uo was greeted at this point
with considerable yelling. Intermingled co
piously with hisses and cat calls.
Ho hold n bit of white paper in his right
band and his derby and canoln his loft , and
as soon as the noise subsided ho hold aloft
this bit of paper with all the dramatic effect
reasonably to bo expected from a museum
freak and Bald , literally ;
"Gentlemen , I have a few remarks to
make tonight which I think will provo seri
ous to the heavy weights in my class. There
has been ) i colored person , " ho didn't ' say
"nigger" this time , "following mo all
over this country saying that I am
ifrald to fight him. f'You are I
You are I' cried ( . dozen voices. ] Ills name
Is Peter Jackson. But I must correct my-
lelf. It isn't Jackson saying this , ho don't
talk for hl'solf , but ho has a manager who
talks for hlsself , " ( got onto the magnilo-
aucnco of the oratory ns you proceed ) "and
ho is hero tou'ght. " Then raising his volco
to a shriek , and waving that bit of white
paper frenzledly over his head ho continued :
"Now I want to say , I nova n check for
110,000 hero of my own money" ( with addi
tional emphasis on the last three words ) ,
"that says I can whip Peter Jackson ut any
time or place ho may name- "
At this juncture the uproar was tremen
deus , and while Corbott's big mouth was still
gaping and closing with frightful rapidity ,
not another word could bo heard ,
The hullabaloo quickly subsided , only to
bo renewed vrith-a hundred fold more vol.
umo , as a clean-shaven , hundsotno clerical
looking individual was seen to rlso from the
box Corbott had Kept his eyes on all through
the bluster , button up his light black over
coat at the chin and ur\cofully walk up the
gangway , into the arena and plump up to
the champion's face.
It was "Parson" Davles.
The ovation tendered the parson had the
right ring to it , for the feeling was that ho
meant business , umt that Corbett's frothy
bluff was to bo called.
As quickly as the uproar had subsided ,
DavicSjliftod his right hand , with the index
linger extended , and shook it exaspcratliiKly
under the champion's dilated nostrils. He
was livid as death , a pallor his mug always
assumes when a bit excited , and ho looked
as If ho was about to spring on the cool little
peutlomaif faclug him and tear him limb from
limb.
"I must interrupt the champion"began the
Parson ; "ho says there has been a colored
person following him all over the country ,
. saying that ho is afraid to fight him. That
he , knows is falso. There has been no col
ored person , or person of any description ,
following him over the country , that I know
of. But I tell you what I have done. Nearly ,
or quite a jear upo , I deposited $3,600 with
the Now York Clipper for Peter Jackson to
fight this man. " ( again that index finger
ntfrpled under the champion's proboscis )
"but ho has never hud the courage to cover
It. This muoh I iay , and lay it fearlessly "
The thunderous uproar hero cut off the
Parson's speech , but ho ami Corbott con
tinued to mix up with mouth nnd gesticula
tion all through the pandemonium. When
the din had subsided sufficiently , Corbott
almost shrieked !
"Name your tlmo and place I Namoyour
tlmo and plncol and let It bo where or when
it will , I will fight Jackson for $10,009.
"Sportsmen and gentlemenyou hear what
this man says ; now , 1 , on behalf of Peter
Jackson , " nnd the Parson's volco ascended ,
"nauio next Nbvember for the fight , and for
110,000 a ldo , ns Mr. Corbott demands I"
A cataclasm of applause again interrupted
Davles.
"Boys I boys I" cried the champion , as
soon as ho could make himself heard , "you
see ho wants to take advantgo of mo. You
all know I fight Mitchell in December ! "
"llatsl" was the hearse response from the
excited crowd. x
"I appeal to you , gentlemen , ns sportsmen ,
if i am not right , " Interjected the Parson ;
"did ho not say any tlmo or place ? Well ,
then , I say Novcnloerl"
Amidst the wildest excitement the big
bluffer saw ho was in a tight corner and
there was no alternative but to accept , nnd
this ho did with countless nourishes of that
$10,000 check of his own money.
"But I hnvo a right to a forfeit , don't I ,
gentlemen ? " nnd Jay Jay turned to the
crowd ntrnin , "nnd 1 demand that Davius
cover this check I"
Moro jelling.
Thun 13ivies came back. Hoiald : "Gen
tlemen , I am not ono of the sort of men run
ning about attending prio fights with $10,000
on my persoil. HI have that sum ot moneV
It Is In the bank "
Hero the Parson was cut short by a rush
of moneyed sports for the platform , all with
their hands full of stuff , poking It at the
Parson. Al Smith , .Too Ullman , Leo Meyer
and John Condon were all cra/y to furnish
the slmoleons to cover the bit of paper Cor-
oott clallncd represented S10.000. And Joe
Choynski , tco , howled himself blue from the
fur sldo of the stage , for the Parson to como
across and got his role running up into the
thousand. Besides these there were a dozen
moro bogging to bo allowed to advance the
coin. The Parson , however , \yjwcd them all
back , and reaching over the ropes took a
$1.000 note from Al Smith's hand , and walking -
ing back to Corbott. beckoned O'Malloy
nearer and said :
" 1 hero deposit $1,000 with President
O'Malley , as a forfeit to moot you at Hec
tor's tomorrow evening , for the purpose of
signing articles for Peter Jackson to light
you for any sum of your own money or any
body else's you see proper to name. "
"Hully.geol" what a yell chlppoJ In hero
uid amidst the din the Parson and Corbott
quickly returned to their respective boxes to
await the events of the evening.
Thus was ono of the rankest bluffs in the
ilstory of pugilistic theatricals called. Cor-
uott was pale as n ghost and much
charglned when ho sat down , for ho could
not have helped observing1 that about every
ninety-nine men out of 100 in that vast
throng wore with the Parson.
But what about It nil ? Monday nlpht I
considered the Parson's action the greatest
achievement in fighting circles of the age. I
thought ho had routed the champion foot
and dragoon : that ho had taught him a les
son that would bo conducive of vast benefits
to the game ; that ho had forced the great I am
to once more don the pug's ccstus and enter
the ropei again. As is well known , I have
110 faith in the Mitchell-Corbett clap-trap.
The vast crowd of red hot sports in the big
roofless building was with me. Everybody
save Corbett was in a hilarious frame of
mind and ready to enjoy the fights ol the
evening with renewed zest. But again I say ,
what about it all ? I'll tell yea what I think ,
with all duo respect to Mr. Davies , I think
the whole affair is a howling , rotten , mis
chievous farco.
According to their word the two men mot
the next evening and hero Is the result of
travail :

Where is thn liKitlinato sporting man who

both have long so-called theatrical seasons
ahead ot them between now and Juno.
Tho.v were at their wits end , or at least Cor
bott was , to aovlso ways nnd 'means of re
suscitating the dying interest in his sicken

means to got in their work , and In the any a

such a farce should have been permitted. If
Corbott wanted to make u match with Jack
son ho know full well ho could drop around
at the Brlggs house and llnd the Parson , and
if the Parson was so dead stuck on pitting-
Peter against Jay Jay , he know that ho
could confer with him among the ether
freaks at the sldo show on the Midway.
Now there is to bo no Mltchell-Corbott

foregone conclusion , and the quicker the

The Whlstlo of thu Upland I'lnvcr.
Ono of the most glorious shooting seasons
of the whole twelvemonth is now upon the
gunners of this particular section and lati
tude. The Bartramlan sandpiper , better
known to local sportsmen as the upland
plover , has arrived , and the broad hay
fields and plowed ground will shortly afford
most oxhlluratinir sport.
According to Audubon this bird Is not
strictly a plover , but closely allied to
that species of game birds. They arrive
hero in their greatest numbers during the
last week of July , breeding from Kansas
northward to the British Columblas , and
wintering in Texas and the states of Mexico.
This section Is ono of the favorite feeding
grounds of the bird , the nutritious nature of
our many grass seeds being tlio feed it most
craves and on which it fattens until it be
comes almost like a sponge , soaked in oil.
They often become too fat for tempting table
uso.aud will remain hero until Jack FVoa t first
begins to creep among the grass blades ,
when they levant hastily and almost in a
body for the sunny climes of further south.
They are to bo found in greatest numbers
when hero upon the wldo upland meadows ,
or the hillsides covered with short , stragplng
tufts of bunch grass and sood-hoarlm ; woods
ot different species. On the wide hay Holds
along the "old military road" they used to
abound in unusual numbers , and are
frequently found yet iu ample numbers to
furnish satisfactory shooting , but are not
nearly so plentiful as a few years ago.
Many a nice bag have I made lu the fields
along this legendary old trail , and only last
summer Jack Morrison and I killed thirty-
eight in an evening's shoot just south of
Billy Paxton's beautiful ranch , almost
within the city limits. They are never
found in rocky or wooded lands , and seldom
iu low or swampy places. Up in
the north part of the state , on
the almost measureless pasture lands ,
this little feathered king loves to haunt
on the grassy , sloping hillsides , fallow Hold *
and nonly plowed grounds , where it not only
linds plenty of farinaceous seeds and the in
sect food to which it is ravenously partial
the small green grasshopper , worms , tiny
snails and the coleopterous files that infest
the weeds nnd grasses.
The upland is a wary bird , and almost
always "Hushes" at Ion ? range , but as they
are easily killed , a single No. 8 often doing
the work , this renders the sjx > rt the moro
desirous and interesting. They seldom go iu
flocks , as flocks go , but are often round ia
arge scattered companies , and when
lumped do so ono bv ono , each taking a
course that suits him bent , and nf tor circling

for it is so ilcot of foot , that it quickly out

some clod or tuft , with which its beautifully
mottled plumage assimilates to a degree

It requires a quick cyo and noryy hand to

AtnfQUEnQUEN. M.July 13. [ Correspond
ence of TUB BHB. ] After completing my ramblings -
blings in Texas I traversed the southern part
of Kansas from Wichita westward , thcnco
passing through the southeastern part of
Colorado , nnd thence through the northeastern -
ern part of Now Mexico till I reached Santa
Pn. Much of the country through which I
thus.'pnsscd Is a dry , arid waste ; portions of
it are smooth and lovcl , whlio other portions
nro rough and hilly. Much of it it thinly
settled. In many particulars It bears no re
semblance to certain ether sections of coun
try whpsoverduro , beauty nnd luxuriance of
vcgotablo growth excited my admiration ,
nnd of wlilch I hnvo heretofore written. In
many places the soil Is sufficiently fertile for
agricultural and fruit growing purposes , but ,
coin para lively spoaklng , no crops are
raised. Want of rain sootns to bo the only
cause. Irrigation , however , is bringing
some of it under successful and profitable
cultivation , nnd irrigation ulU eventually
work its reclamation. But of this more may
bo said in letters yet to coino.
'llio Oily ot Hnntii To.
I spent several weeks in Santa Pe , peram
bulating its streets , examining its old
curios and roaming over the hills and
the valleys with which it Is the more imme
diately environed. It stands at an altitude
of 7,01)0 foot above the lovcl of the sea. lie-
sides being the territorial capital of New
Mexico , It is also the couny scat of Santa
Po county. Prom these two circumstances
it derives considerable of Its importance.
It is a few miles northeast of the geograph
ic U center of the county m which it Is situ
ated. It is cozily nestled in among the foot
hills on the west side of the Santa Po ran go
of mountains. A largo spur from that
range , extending westward and thence
southward , gives it ample protection from
the north winds. Through It flows the Kio
Santa Po , a small stream of pure , cold ,
sparkling water formed by the melting of
BUOW crowning the summits of distant moun
tains. Notwithstanding the great altitude
of the city nnd the dryncss of its climate ,
there are numerous yards and gardens
where flowers , vines , shrubs , shade trees ,
fruit trees and vegetables are In healthy ,
vigorous growth. This is , of course , the re
sult of irrigation. In the interior and older
part of the city , its streets are very narrow
and irregular in their courses. In the
moro outlying aud newer portions , how
ever , they are much wider atid conform
more largely to the modern order of things.
Of its population , which is something near
7,000 , Mexicans largely predominate ; and
most of them speak the Spanish language.
About the city us a whole , one does not ob
serve the push , energy and thrift which
characterize many western towns. Its pub
lic buildings cousist of a federal building , as
itiscallod , containing a court room and a
number of ofilccs for the transaction of busi
ness pertaining to tno national government ;
the territorial penitentiary , the governor's
palace , Dawcs institute , a government
school for educating Indian children , and a
county court house , containing a largo court
room and offices for the transaction of all
county business.
; - - - - rA GH ; r school. .
While -well provided' ifr-CSi'ri-t'C8 .and
newspapers , Santa Fo is pre-eminently t.
city of schools. Besides Dawcs Institute ,
already referred to , there is a deaf and
dumb school and also a regular system of
free schools , open for all the youths of the
city who choose to attend them. Tttcso
nro public institutions and supported
at the public expense. But , in addition ,
there are several private schools. They
consist of the following : St. Michael's col
lege , the Loretta academy , the Orphan's
Homo and Industrial school , St. Catherine's
Indian school , all Catholic Institutions ;
Within hail , n day school for Mexican chll
dren , a boarding school for Mexican chil
dren and the Kamona Indian school , under
protcstant management and control. The
buildings in which thcso several private
schools are being carrioi on are largo , wcll-
nmshed structures , equipped with all the
usual modern conveniences. They are
largely attended , their pupils coming from
all parts of the territory , and from other
states and territories as well. However
backward Santa Po may bo in some particu
lars , in her educational institutions she is
fully abreast of the most advanced commun
ities.
The Piazza , as it is called , the only park
of which the municipality can boast , com
prising a square , or block , is in the central
part of the city. Many of the dwelling
houses nnd other buildings are constructed
of adobe brick four inches thick , nine. Inches
wide and eighteen Inches long. These brick
are maaa of mortar consisting of earth in its
natural state mixed with straw and water ,
and burnt by being exposed to the sun.
In this climate their durability is almost a
a matter of marvel , At the present time a
government post Is maintained within the
city , where two companies of soldiers are
stationed. The rams which fall hero are
' few and far between. " As yet there has
practically been no rain nt all since the dis
appearance of winter. As a result , both
earth and atmosphere are very dry. While
there is nearly always u gentle breeze , violent
lent winds nro of rare occurrence. Nor does
ono suffer so much from the dust hero as In
many other places where excessive dryness
is a characteristic of the climate. I have
been somewhat at n loss to account for this ,
but I suppose it explainable upon the
theory that while there is an almost con
stant breeze , its current , as a rule , is not of
suOlclcnt force to put the oust in motion.
The sky Is seldom clouded , the sun shines
with n glaring brightness , and though the
thermometer often rises nbovo 00 = in the
shade , ono does not pcrsfilro nnd swoltcr
hero us in other localities of the saino torn-
'poraturo where the atmosphere Is more
heavily laden with humidity. The nights
are delightful , pleasant and cool , and the
sleep ono enjoys Is sweet , restful uiul re
freshing. % The pure , dry air , and the general -
oral mildness of the climate make this an
exceedingly healthy place for nearly all
classes of people.
Curluiltln for n Tenderfoot.
Many things strike a ' 'tenderfoot" ns both
curious and novel. Only n few of them will
bo named. Much of the Jewelry , pottery ,
tableware , statuary , many of the shawls ,
rugs , blankets , carpets and numerous other
articles offered for sale by the merchants ,
are tbo handiwork of native Mexicans and
Indians , by whom , In tbo making , they have
been wrought Into all sorts of fantastic
shapes , and painted in a combination of
colors it would bo dlfiloult to describe. Lit
tle burrows , a diminutive species of the ass ,
are scon passing through the streets with
loads of wood tied upon * them in the shape
of a half moon , every day in the week. The
load , which often appears larger than the
animal carrying it , Is borne In this way from
places up in the mountains , ten and fifteen
miles distant from the city. Most of the
dwelling houses are only ono story high , and
so built as to leave a lartro recess or court In
the center. In other words , they nro con
structed in tuo form of a hollow square.
Many a whlto man , coming hero single ,
years ago , began at an curly day to cast hU
"natural eyes" upon a handsome , dusky-
colored squaw. Ho next began to cast
"sheep's eyes" upon hor. Courtship soon
followed in dead earnest , aud marriage ,
of course , was the Inevitable re
sult. Now , through the inilucnco
of close association , running through a long
period of time , it is clearly apparent that ho
has become Just about as much of an Indian
as she has a Caucuasiau.

result of the Mexican war. In 1850 it was
erected Into and made one of the regular
organized territories of the United States ;
ami from that tlmo down to the present ,
Santa Fo has been and still is the territo
rial capital. The governor's palace stiuuls
on thu spot where the old Spanish p.ilace
had boon erected shortly after 1(103. ( That
ancient structure was destroyed by fire In
1080 , and sometime thereafter but before
1710 the present building was completed. It
Is made of adobe brick , is ono story high
and is divided into some twenty-five rooms.
It Is supposed to have been put up during
the administration of a Spanish governor by
the name of Don Lionlsial'cnulosannd thereafter -
after served as the governor's palace during
the Spanish and Mexican regimes , and over
since it fell under American sway it has
been , and still is , used for the same purpose.
During all these years it has been the place
where the several governors and many of
the other territorial editors have transacted
the public business. It has also been the
resilience of such of the governor's as chose
to make it their homo. It was In this old
building that Lew Wallace wrote "Ben Hur"
while territorial governor from 1ST8 to 1881.
I was personally in the very room where ho
composed that popular and much-read llttlo
book. The chapel ol San Magucl still stands ,
having been quite recently braced by some
stone abutments to hold it in position. It is
a strong , adobe edifice , built between 1541
and 1540. It was partially destroyed by In
dians in 1CS2. It was rebuilt in 1710 , a part
of the walls 01" ttio old chapel , oxtcndhur
some six or eight feet above the ground ,
being used as a part of the walls of the now
structure. Since its rebuilding In 1710 it has
stood intact , escaping ull catastrophes.
Hanging upon Its Interior walls may bo seen
a number of religious paintings over 4JJJ
years old. Ono t , . of . . thorn % _ .M.H _ representot v.m.I .

Many other things , noted for their
antiquity , might bo mentioned , butte
to go any further on this par
ticular .lino .of narrative would ex
pand this letter beyond reasonable limits.
Whatever may be thought of Santa Fo in
other respects , her years , her curios and her
history will hereafter make her an object of
interest to the traveler , the tourist and the
lover of antiquity.
AVIti > c * lne an Indian Dance.
On June 24 I visited San Juan , an Indian
village located in the valley of the Ilio
Grande , about fifty miles north of Santa Fo.
Their houses are adobe structures. The vil
lage Is over three centuries old , and Its in
habitants are a peaceful , industrious , hard
working tribe of Indians , descended from
some ancient Pueblos. They devote them
selves to stock raising and farming with
decided success. It was their feast day In
honor of St. John , their patron saint. Be
sides eating and drinking , they engaged in
foot racing and dancing. In thcso perform
ances none but males participated. They
were absolutely nuked , save as to a slight
covering about waist und hips. From head
to foot they were smeared \\lth a rude paint
of various colors. The heads of some were
ornamented with feathers ; of others , with
squirrel tails and the like. The appearance
of sorao was hideous and repulsive ; that of
others ludicrous In the extreme.
Their dancing consisted of keeping tlmo by
their feet with the rude beating of a rude
drum. As a race they have gradually dis
appeared since the advent of the white man ,
till their number now upon the land of their
fathers is comparatively small. Though
humiliating the confession , it is neverthe
less true , that cunning , treachery , enslave
ment , starvation , fire , sword , butchery and.
cold-blooded murder in a thousand different
forms , have been , in largo measure , the
moans of their extermination. That these
of them still among us may glvo up all de
sire of rovcngo for past wrongs , that they
may receive better treatment hereafter , and
that henceforth they may live in peace , hap
piness and prosperity must , I think , bo the
earnest wish of all humane people.
