' I have Just returned from n ton dnys dunk
ing expedition up In South Dakota , and
wlillo undoubtedly rclnviorated ( both men
tally and nhj'slcally by roughing it In tbo
marshes , I do not feel competent to the task
of supplying my readers with anything
newsy or fresh nnent our old friends , the
boxers. Wo wcro camped miles nwny from
any rnlltvay station , among the barren sand
hills of L-ugonbcol * ountyf and during the
ontlro two weeks absence but ono copy of
TUB BBB reached us. llcnco U will require
a few dnys to catch up with tlio times por-
tnlnlng to alTiilrs handled In this column.
As luck would have It , however , there ap
pears to nuvo been but llttlo going on In the
punching realm , and the absence of our
usual chat may probably add additional zest
to that whkh Is to como. In another week
I will bnvo studied up the situation nnd bo
In'condltlon , I liopo , to again handle the
knights ot the knucks with or without
gloves ns the merits of their several cases
mnv deserve. Thw week my readers can
content themselves with lilts of newsy gossip
and comment In the shape of correspondence
I found uwaltlng mo on my desk.
I will add , however , that my readers have
observed the correctness of my position
ancnt the great International pnzo lleht be
tween Charlie \V. Mitchell and James J.
Corbott , 1. e. , that the big mill could neVer
'bo pulled off in New York. From the tenor
of recent proclamations from the mayor of
Brooklyn anJ the sheriff of King's county ,
it looks ns If mv prcdictlohs' wcro bused
upon a pretty solid foundation. And , iipuln ,
I say this Is all O. 1C It furnishes a hope
that Cholly and Jim will yet conclude to
Jump in a linuk and pull out for some so-
qucstorcd nook and settle their llttlo nrgu-
' mcntoii the turf. For the life of mo lean-
not think of a single city that will consent
to the great mauling match taking place
within its confines. Omaha , however , seems
about as likely a point ns tiny Just now , and
if you say the word I'll see Mayor Bern is ,
Jeff Bedford and Iko Hnsrall about It , and
we'll fix it up for the night before the olcc-
jtipn for.lho Coliseum. I fcul confident that
\ these gentlemen will grant mo the necessary
permission us I stand ace high with them.

KOKTII PIATTE , Oct. 18. To the Sporting
l Kdltprnfil'nB'BEE : A well known sporting
wiitcr on llstic topics , who persists in writIng -
Ing about "Champion James J. Coruott" and
"Charlio" Mitchell , reminds mo of a friend
of mine who once took a long sea yoyago and
iu speaking to the first o nicer , addressed
' .him nsl"Mato. " "Qeo si" exclaimed the
indignant mnto , "haven't I a name as well
as you ? "
Making flesh of ono and fish of another in
regard to middle names in lighting talk Is
preposterous. Mitchell's middle name is
Watson. In view of the coming contest be
tween "Gentleman" Charles W. Mitchell
and Paddy or Jimmy Corbett to reverse the
usual mode of expression I inclose you an
old time four-round "sot to" between
Mitchell and Joe JDunning in March , 1834.
Joe Dunning assorted that ho would fight
any man in the world. Sullivan preferred I
Madden offered him $100 if ho would stand
up before Mitchell for four rounds. Dun
ning said ho would probably knock Mitchell
out and carelessly accepted the offer. Ho
was much bigger than Mitchell ; with great
square shoulders , immense arms and sledge
hammer flsts.
Hound 1 When the men came up to face
each other Mitchell's perfect fighting form
showed to good advantage. Dunning sent
out his right viciously at Mitchell. Thut
was the last load ho made. Charlie dodged
his baud Just enough to lot the blow pass his
loft oar , and then drove his
left forward. It struck Mr. Dun
ning Just above the bread basket.
Before ho could recover Mitchell's right
hand flow , up and struck the big man square
in the mouth , splitting his lips nnd loosening
his tooth and starting the blood from his
nose , Joe dove forward and was neatly
stopped by Charlie , who easily planted an-
.bther body blow nnd another face blow on
the big man In exact imitation of the two be
had led out with. Dunning \ \ this time was
pawing the air and gasping frantically. Ho
seemed to experience considerable difltculty
in holding hlmsolf in position , and Charlie's
blows came' In on him so hard ana fast that
he was hitting wildly In every direction ex
cept that in which the little Encrlishman
, stood. Before tirao was culled Mitchell
struck his big antagonist ut least a dozen
blows and had not received a single thump
of consequence himself. Wheu Dunning
name up for the next round ho stood care
fully on his guard. It was evident that at
this point , no was afraid the little terror
would knock him out. Mitchell waited for
Dunning to load off. again , but the big ono
had learned by experience and retreated
around the ring. Charlie followed tiiin up ,
and then suddenly made a rush , fought him
backward toward the stage and hit him an
other blovr in tno tooth which knocked the
bhr champion flat on his back. After Dun
ning had recovered from his surprise ho
arose. Thereupon Charlie Jumped ut him
again and had him completely winded when
time was callod.
"When the men came up for the third round
Mitchell was fresh. Dunning was putting
Hko a grampus. II U tights wcro covered
with blood and ho looked savaco. Ho made
another rush for hu slighter antagonist.
Uogotiu u stunning whack on Mltchull'a
neck and was about to follow it up when
Chnrlio took an inning. The inning con
sisted of ono straight ripht handed blow
from the shoulder which lifted his 185-
] > oumlnnttiionlHtofl ? his foot and knocked him
backward huiidlong to the stage ! From that
tlino to the end of the round Mitchell
badgorul , battered and banged his oppo-
jient Just as ho choso. When the men retired
to their corners Mr. Dunning looked as
though ho had been heading a riot. He
moved heavily , whllo Mitchell was as chcuv-
ful nnd as quick as ever.
The con fusion that rohrnod in the hall
now was ronmrkablo. liotu wcro maae inat
Churllo would knock Joe -.ut In the la&t
round. Whew the men faced each other for
the last it Was plain that Dunning felt ho
was no match for the little Kngiishtnnn.
Hu fought shy and retreated round the stnco
togaiutime. Mitchell pounded him ns ho
pleased during the whole round. Kvery
on co in n while Dunning would clinch sav
agely with Mitchell , out Charlie broke
uvray before nls henvy antagonist could
carry him down. Mitchell did not succeed
in VnocKing him' out , but ho completely
whlppoa his man. Mitchell was at that tlino
22 , and tils weight < lld not exceed 145 pounds ,
Dan Crccdon says height and length do not
amount to much unless there is muscular
strength in proportion. Dan sti.vs if Bob
I'ltzfclmmon * Uoes , not exceext 153 pounds
he docs uot care , although he is
seven foot high ! ( Dan istlvofoet eight ) .
As to Mitchell , he has a clear hoadaud
. understands nil the okllt and Btratogeins of
the ring , JIu tint plenty of rcsourcoa'and
can alter his tactics to suit circumstance * .
JVotwithstnnJingnU that ban btnmwiltten
, , * " " by sporting * rriublora about Mitchell being
aaprhltor , a tapper And a pillow-puslior ,
It will bo seou. that ho has considerable
driving putvor. When u inui of his alto can
knock n mau down who woigtii forty pounds
more thuu himself it provci that he la u
hard hitter. Ho pi ay not Jwv6 good hands ,
but they uro as good as Corbett' * . "James
Jay" sttM ho could have finished Fulltvmi in
half the time , but his seconds and ndvUors
told him to take Uis time and aim at the
soft points cf John I * , .such as tbo nock and

order to aave hu. bauds. AK it was , Jim in

Clydesdale ornueht horse that tooK a first
prlco at a boric show had tremendous
broad , flat bones at the fetlocks , nnd the clr-
cumfornhco given wns twelve inches , un
inch and a half smaller than Charlie's wrist.
A day or two before Corbett mot Sullivan
n Corbottlto saw "ho welghtd" Gentleman
James Jay , "and in his shoos and trousers
only ho weighed 101 pounds , nnd that ho
was in superb condition mm would enter the
ring welching not less than 183 pounds. "
Then his ofllclnl weight was glvon out as ITS
pounds. Which are wo to bcllovot
Corbett , when ho road Jackson's measure
ments , said' Peter had the advantage In
reach , but , snld Jim complacently , "I am
heavier than he I * nnd expect to enter the
ring weighing 200 pounds. " ( The lighting
weight of Big Ben Count. ) James Jay said
if ho could not beat that "wind bag" ho did
not want anything. "Mitchell , " quoth he ,
is an Impostor , but the public has been a
long tlmo in finding it out. " James Jay's
alleged reason , for taking on Mitchell before
Jackson was because Mitchell wns an unde
feated man and the champion of England.
Jim's latest concerning Mitchell IB that hu is
a more dangerous man to tackle than Sulli
van , and thinks the mill will probably last
forty rounds 1 The gentleman with the up
right haic is rather chnngoablo in his
opinions , oh ?
Although Charlie Mitchell's middle name
Is Watson , nri eastern sporting paper , In
speaking of the coming "mill , " Insists In
calling Corbott Cnampion "Jnmos Jay , " but
declines to call Mltchoil Charles W. Is It
only Irish-American pugilists that are to
have their middle names In print ? I suppose
the Jems , 'Jacks nnd Toms are nil gone , ns
far as tho.v Kro concerned. How would It oo
to speak of the coming contest between
Charleiy. . Miteugll nnd Jimmy Corbott ?
If Corbott docs -not succeed with his nd-
vnntnges in youth , height and weight in
bc.\ting Mitchell it will prove that hu ts an
overrated man and thut his conquest of
Sullivnu , was because the hitter's day had
gene by , I notice a pupor complains that
John L. says in ono town that Corbott will
win and in another that Mitchell will iniilto
cold meat of Corbett , and attributes John
Li.'s conflicting assertions to a chaugo of
drinks. , , ' '
Porhnp" ) John L. Is hko Charles II. A wit
wrote the king's epitaph as follows : "Hero
lies King Charles , on whoso word no man
relies on , who never snld a foolish thing and
never did a wise one. "
Chirles'rupltcd : that that wns easily ac
counted for , because "His sayings wcro his
own , but his actions tvcro tboso of his minis
ters. "
Probably old Jack Sullivan's set-spread-
caglo-boforc-the-curtaln-specohes ore prepared -
pared for htm by his theatrical manager
and his. private speeches , when in his cups ,
come from lils'hcnrt and are his own. John
Li. said ho Is the only man who has fought
both men "and who should have tholr
measure better than mo. " Ho said ho
know frpm experience ) that Charlie was
twlco as hard a hlttoru's Jim. and equally an
clover. > -
Peter Jackson evidently feels sere because
Mitchell was pulled forward iu place of him
self by the Brndy-CorbeH outfit anil says
should Mitchell win ho won't be champion
of the world until ho boats him. According
to fistic history drawn battles have always
been fought out to decide a championship.
Corbott's assertion that "tho uiggor wants
none of iny gamo" is prouostcrous. Peter
did everything that a man could to meet him
again first.
You gave us the correct tip on the Dlxon-
Soloinon P. fight. According to TUB BEE'S
report of the Fitz-Hall contest Bob was the
aggressor and did' ' the best worK all through.
Hall assorts ho lost it by il fluke. Bob , from
his previous performances , fully Justifies the
confidence of his backers. James Jay would
have a tough Job to beat him ; ho is afar
harder hitter , and , could stand as much
punching and has better hands.
When Jack Killian alias Jake Kilraln ,
fought his long dr.iw in Prance (100 rounds )
with Jem Smith , whom Ted Pritchard sub
sequently vanquished in throe rounds , a
New York illustrated sporting pink sheet
flooded his paper with puffs and slobbers of
such "Juke " "Our
Kllram us : is King ,
Chatnpion Jake"Jakoas JJanquo's Ghost
Scaring Macbeth Sullivan , " "Jako Illus
trated , Partaking of Wiuo with the Marquis
of Queensbury , " etc.
Should -Mitchell win , will ho have his
paper illustrated with the conquering hero
returning as "Bouny Prince Charlie , " nnd
the bag pipers playing : "Tho King Sha'l '
Enjoy His Own Agatnl" That would not bo
a whit more ridiculous or exasperated than
the fulsome beslobboriug of Jake. Mitchell
does not scorn to be of a revengeful nature ,
but it Is barely possible that in the near fu
ture ho may bo In a position to civo certain
parties their uucs.
A popular American writer of fiction , who
was consul at IMvwpool during the adminis
tration of President Pierce , said that dur
ing the four years of his ofllcial capacity ho
never encountered.a full blooded American
seaman. , Hfs test of nationality was the pro
nunciation of the word -'boon. " All born
Americans , ho said , pronounced it "bin , " but
all English speaking people clsowbcro pro
nounced it as it is spelled , "been. " Fifty
years ago there used to be plenty of Ameri
can ships manned by Yankee sailors , but at
the into naval royiov the papers stated that
the American 'men-of-war had nearly all
foreign crows , and now comoa the astound
ing news that the VIgilant'a crow are all
Swedes , Norwegians and Danes , and can't
speak English.
The Vnltcyi'io , although beaten , made the
best attempt to recover tbo cup of any yacht
the bold Britons have' thus fur sent over.
1 The gallant Norwegian captain and his
' sturdy Swedish and Norwegian crew had
1 a narrow ' escape from being beaten in the
lust race' .Although the Valkyrie split her
splnaker at a critical Juncture , tbo Vigilant
' only succeeded in coming In forty seconds
1 ahead.
llowovor , a miss is np good as a mile , ns
the Britishers promptly owned up. Ut > to
Onto the Americans have been more success
ful in yachtinp than In rowing or scullin ?
with the British colonists. Hanlan , who
used to bo thought invincible , said Sea Ho ,
the Australian , was the best man who ever
sat in'n boitt and in ocean steam navigation
the Briton has tbo pull. However , if il
should como to a contest , the Amerlcnn , such
is his wonderful powers of skill , strength , in
genuity and Intelligence , must certainly como
out iirnt best , let the contest be in any lines
it may. Will ho do this iu the coming great
international < prize fight ?
' I was surprised to learn In reading Mr.
| 'Wakoinun's JournoyiiiKs in TUB BBB that in
the south of Scotland the wooer and author
oftho immortal "Anne Laurie" was a native
of the parish of Carscpuulrn my birthplace ,
n wild nnil mountainous district among the
hills which divide Kirkudbrishtsuire. frpm
Ayrshire. It is a largo parish , anil the
sheep and stock farms uro wide apart. Be
fore the lead mines were discovered , about
1BW , sheep were nwo plentiful than man
kind. My parents were both natives of the
adjoining parish of IColls. It appears from
Mr. Wakcimm'a researches that tne beauti
ful Anne did not marry her lover , who WHS a
Jacobite , .and had to fly to Prance on account
of being nn adherent of the Stuart cause in
the rebellion of 171S or 1745. Anne married
. rich laird with about uc much poetry In
him as a cow. T. 1C , C.
