Omaha last winter. Ho is hippodroming
with Farmer Burns , and they skinned a
small crowd of suckers in a lltllo town nnar
bore last night. After bo loses his
match with Burns ho Intorms the crowd that
ho novel- know thu Farmer bofora , and that
be hlmselt is a better lighter than bo is a
wrestler. Ho also savs bo has been trying
to irct on a match with soma of the top-notcu
heavvwclghts for a year , but cannot make
the nlllo. Ho BUVS bo is ready to fight any
ono. but would prefer to meet Jaclc Davis
of Omaha. Well , last night when ho was
making this "talk" 1 "called" him. and offer
ing to put up $103 forfeit I said 1 would
match Uavls agalast him for any amount ,
Davis to put him out Inside of ten rounds ,
Of course , bo weuiconod , clalmi/il he
had so mo other engagement , and , after
"cbowmg" a while , loft , lie is a big
blow bard and Is always telling what ho will
do to some of the Omaha sports when ho
meets thc'ii. I told him last night that there
was a roplniout of cheip luncb llends In
Omaha who would make him Jut.ip out of a

his defeat : "Barroii started in to maice the
pace , but I was too quick for him. Wo teen
came to an exchange of blows , however , In
which 1 got much Iho best of It , Ban-on
was short In bin delivery , nnd during ono ot
his wild rushes I dazed him by a punch in
the mouth. I got Ill-it blojd. Then wo did
a lot of hard puinnieling , and at the end of
round I considered the tlgbt us good us
mine.
"The second opened with a clinch , and sev

all the time , but 1 pot away by clover feet

In the hotel pailora HUlu dreamed of the

affair wu > the most brilliant of this year's

men wbo had taken part in the run were
then ushered Into thi tastefully decorated
und olegantlv furnished parlors , where other
clubmen bud already assembled , A short
mubioal program was then listened to In
which Pi of. Shopp and Uoy II. Walker dt -
tlntulshed themselves. Shortly after 9 the
big doors to the dining roam wore thrown
open and the cyclists fathered arounu the
festive board , such a spr2ad ! all the deli
cacies of the season , served by the hotel's
cuntlemanlv corps of waltrrs , to which the
merry wheelmen did ample justice. Tlio
"Tourist Wheelmen" punch bowl was ono of
the features of tbo evening. Toasts were
proposed ana drank , mingled with merry
josts. Short spocchus were tnndo by Captain
Pottor. President flarnum , Messrs. Daxon ,

pleasant hour whisked away before tlio
feasters were aware of it. After the ban
quet the club adjourned on nvisso to the par
lors again wbero tbo balance of the evening
was spent In masic-aud doncinsr. As the
clock struck twclvo , the jollv fellows bid
the host coo'd night and wended their way
toward their Homos , each fully satisfied that
