splto tha fact that

pion blovlatori of the earth , and as yet have
done but little actual work In tbo ring , still ,
they nro drawing crowds on both sides of the

most sclontlllo heavy weights In the world ,
nnd the man who can loy Idly wllh him yet
remains lo bo built. Ills fight with John L.
Sullivan at Chantllly , Franco , though , cuts
no figure with old Judges of ring affairs , as
it was simply a series of sprint races.
Ho Is n shrewd , calculating young
man , smart enough to make lots
of money ns a fighter without fighting.
Slavln b'really a good man , too , as ho has
clearly demonstrated slnco his arrival from
the antipodes , taut the mass of stuff the press
of the country has been running- Iho past
several months with reference to his desire
to cat the great and only John L. gives all
Intelligent citizens n very largo pain. Ha
would bo "in It" wllh SulllvnuundorQueens-
bury rules , only ns all the rnst of Iho wind
bags have boon slnco that memorable dav at
Mississippi City aboui nlno years ago. John
L. remains yet today Iho only veritable
pugilistic phenomenon tbo ring has
ever produced. However , we'll all go
out and sco Chawloy and Paddy Just
In order to take their stzo from a
local standpoint. Dick Ilowoll , the hlg Eng
lish blcyclo rider , will spar three rounds
with Slavln , und Jim HIghtowor with
Mitcholl.whilo Slavln and Mllcholl will Wind

DAN DALY.
Slnco iho above was received Daly has been
matched for n ton round contest with the
Denver Kid , which comes off at Chadron
aomo night next week.
Later Information shows that Dannv Daly
h'as succeeded at last In making a match with
J3d Meyer of Stroator , 111. The articles were
signed Wednesday by Daly , and together
with $100 forfeit were forwarded to Mayor.
The fight is set for February 10at Dead wood
nnd it Is qulto probable that a largo delega
tion of Daly's Omaha friends will go up to
sco tbo mill. Alf. Kennedy. Iho backer of
both Billy nnd Ed Mayor , gives It out cold
that be and Billy will bo at Dead wood with all
the money Daly's Irlonda will fool llko cover
ing on the sldo. Tboy will in all likelihood
find takers among Danny's Chadron admirers
for nil the "stuff" they can bring out horo.
Tbo light will bo fora purse of * T50 , $500 to
the winner und $2flO to the loser , to wolgh in

S. P. Holmes of Dubuque , la. , writes a
1 &U friend in this dty.that Harry McCoy of Bur
lington will light Jack VVilkes of St. Louis , If
Ills friends hero wish to make the match.
Holmes thinils the pair would make a great
contest , and says a big crowd of the Dubuque
friends of McCov would make the Journey
here to sco It. Ha further adds that every
thing now remains wllh Wilkes , as McCoy
will approve of any arrangements made for
him by the witter of iho teller.
Billy Woods bos reiurnod to Denver and

Dan Shannon writes that on effort Is mak
ing to prevent htm from securing an ccgago-
mout owing to the unfortunate Omaha busi
ness last season. This should not bo , as
Shannon was loss to blame for that fiasco
than the officials of tbo defunct Omaha el no ,
Shannon acted as any other player or manager
would have acted under similar circum
stances. Shannon nays ho has quite recov
ered from the ailment which handicapped
him last season , and Is now prepared to give
any city In the proposed eastern and west
ern leagues a winning team for Httlo money.
This is no Idle boast , In vlow of Shannon's
very successful career as & minor league man
ager. S | > orUng Lifo.
The editor of the Sporting Life doesn't
know what ho is talking about , and there Is
not au honest and honorable manager In the
country who would have aotcd like Shannon
did. Mr. Ulchtor probably does not know
that Shannon was offered $ l,0 < )0 ) cash by the
\Vcstcrn aisoclatlon to take his team to Den
ver on tbo 12th of July , In addition to the
promise of a very material ralso In bis sal
ary by the now managetnnntdesplto the fact
that ho was already receiving about twlco
wbat ho was worth. Sbandon Is absolutely
unworthy of any sort of recognition bj any
of tno Wouorn association people , and wbat
is moro ho will never receive any. Ho was
the prlmo causa of the whole bust up.
The Conical , Eastern or Western associa
tion 'On the lookout for men could got a valise
full of contracts right In Cincinnati and the
&amo story Is told In almost ovary city
wherein ball players do dwell , says Uon
Mulford. "Wild Bill" VVidnor Is willing
and anxious to go Into the box once moro nnd
now that ho Is married ho does nothing worse
than smoke cigarettes. Bob Gilks Is a good
nil' around man. When ho was here Pat
Powers declared that G lilts was tbo only
man In the Rochester outfit last year who
played good , honest , ball. Salary days
were scarce and most ot the team became
carelos , but tha Giants' manager
declares thut-Gllks played to win even when
the club's hours were darkest. "Lefty"
Marr Is another man on the market. Jim
Keenan appears to bo loft out of tbo big cir
cuit. There is no bettor man to handle the
delivery of a young "skittish" pitcher , nnd
if be should join forces with Jack Kconan ,
the battorv of "K. and K. " might make a
hit. The North Pncillo league keeps up Its
organization to the end and Its reserve list
holus good , and that will take Jake Stonzcl ,
Theo. Conovor and George Nulton back to
the now states , althougn none uf them have
as vet signed contracts. Ace Wilder , Jack
HigKins , Ed Klusman , Billy Cllngman , Red

Ans , A thoroughbred is a term applied to
the strains of running horsos. Jn place of
thoroughbred traitors wo use the word
standard brod. A horse can become standard'
by various ways , ns by brooding and perform
ance on tbo part of the animal. There nro no
thoroughbred trotters on tbo turf , bui tnero
nro trotters who arc half thoroughbred , that
Is to say , tbo greatest success In this llao has
been achieved by breed lug thoroughbred
mares lo standard stallions. Pure bred and
full blood are synomymous with thorough-
brod. Wo do not use the \vord grade as ap
plied lo speed horses , but It Is used where
blooded stallions , especially of the draft
species , are bred to native or western horses ,
the result of such brodlng being called
graded horses. Yas , there Is Messenger

tention to the action taki > n by Kentucky and
the propriety of catiintr such n convention.
The proposed congress , If held , will not bo
the first convention of the craft called to
promote thogonoral aQlcIcncy and usofulncss
of the Masonic Institution , A memorial con
vention looking to a confederacy or closer
union , botwoan the grand lodges of the
United States was hold in Lexington , Ivy. ,
In 18.VI , ntul by adjournment In Washington ,
D. C. , In 1855. Another representative
galhoring for similar purposes was held at
Baltimore at a later date. A plan was prepared -
pared at Washington for confederate union
and government , but It was not sanctioned
by the older and stronger grand lodges and
so cumo to naught. It was proposed m sub
stance to put the grand ledges of the country
under guardianship to mike rules und re
strictions and mark out courses of pro
cedure forgrand lodges , thus detracting from
the dignity and authority of these bodies , It
was felt that to accept the plan proposed
would bo to depart from the fixed principles
of Masonic government and make an un
worthy sncrlllco of grand ledge sovoroignty.
And so the conventions held nearly two
score years ago accomplished little or nothing
of what was desired by their projectors.

Supreme Chancellor Shaw of the Supreme
Pythian ledge of the world has Issued an
olllclul circular to the supreme representa
tives relative to organizing u grand ledge lu
tbo Hawaiian Islands. It states a a sufllclont
number of lodges have boon organized there ,
and have petitioned for authority to
organize a grand lodgo. The supreme
chancellor is vested with full power
to approve such applications , yet
In this ease ho has concluded that the ques
tions involved are of too serious n nature to
bo determined by him without consultation ,
and ho is unwilling to exorcise the dlscrotion
granted him unless such action moots the ap
proval of the mombcrs of the supreme lodgo.
It is qulto probable that the * request will bo
granted , in which case the Hawaiian grand
ledge will bo represented at the session of the
supreme lodge lu Kansas City next August.
