The newest thing In pugilism is the fact
that the World's fair city announces itself
ns a rival of New Orleans utul Coney Island
for nil that Is attractive in the game. That
Is Chicago Is to have a hugo amphitheater
and fighting arena out alongside thnt other
hlgh-toiictl and lovely Institution , Itoby , the
auro thing race course. It has. been given
out thnt this mammoth structure Is to bo
modeled after New Orleans' Whlto Ele
phant tlm Crescent City club's llstlc pavll-
lion , only that It is to bo on i\ still more
elaborate and extensive basis , nnd will bo
nil complete and ready for the Initial
punching saturnalia Saturday evening , Juno
10 , when Buffalo Costello and Hilly Woods
will meet in n finish battle for $3,000 , nnd
Tommy Hyan ami Danny Nccdham In a ten
round go as a curtain ralacr.
Just who is at the head of this now pro
ject is not generally understood , but Domt-
nick O'Malloy , the Jovial Now Orleans sport
nnd chief detective , Is a moving spirit , nnd
it Is quite probable that several other south
ern gentlemen with pugilistic predilections
nre to ilguro in the combination. It wouldn't
surprise mo one .vhlt , when 1 go over thiiro ,
to mcos Charlie Noel and Joe Spohrl some
where in the vicinity of the Koby arena. Of
course there will bo n regiment more of
loss of Chicago capitalists in the deal , for
it there is n set , of men on earth who appron
ft clato a good thing \vlicn they run up against
K > - 'it , it is thcsoVindy city ducks. No outsldo
.partlos.would bo nllowcil to enter the con-
tines of this Eldorado and engineer such u
snap without the local luminaries stand "iu
and In. " as tlio gnma have it. Colonel
Hank Yarnell disclaims any propinquity ,
whatever , to the enterprise , and
the same can bo said of Mayor
.Harrison. Old George Sllor , Chi
cago's journnllst-puglllstlco , however , Is
'to bo ttio ofllclnl rofer.ce , with Louis Nu-
polcon Houseman of the Inter Ocean ns
match inukcr. Whether IJilly Yale Cornell
and Hugney Kcogh will "rap" remains to bo
seen , lint nil levity aside , the project , It It
can bo brought to a successful Issue , und I
would like some ono to tell mo what they
can't ' do in Chicago , will surely bo a colossal
BjL money maker. Chicago has a biggerolcmi'nt
* R with pugilistic tendencies than any city in
tho-worlil , and with the thousands and tens
of thousands of strangers who wl'l ' swarm
there this year a failure In this peculiar and
questionable line of amusement seems likonn
impossibility. That everything has been
"squared" is evident in the fact of the con
struction of this immense arena at Uoby and
the big list of attractions already booked.
Among the latter may bo mentioned Johnny
Griffln and Solly Smith for $0,000
in July , Tommy Kyan and
George Dawson for a similar purse in
August , bcsido a half dozen matches be
tween mon of lessor note , nnd I wish to make
B prediction right hero : If Cnarlio Mitchell
and Jim Corbott meet for the championship
of the world in December , the battle will
take place In the arena of the Columbian
club. Drive a tack hero.

Apropos of the ubovo I was talking
to a Chicago traveling man only yesterday
about Kyan and Dawsou's coming light , and ,
by the way , this same gentleman is no moan
boxer himself and one of the best posted
inon in the country. Ho said :
"If over a man had n cinch it Is Ryan , but ,
mind you , I judge simply from what I saw ot
him In his six-round meat with Dawson over
In Chicago. None of the local papers did
the boy justice and for seine reason or other
seem sore on him. Iho truth of the matter
Is ho had the Australian almost knocked out
In the third round. Ho was down on the
floor eight seconds. Tommy gave him two
equaro knock downs and had his nose and
mouth and onooyo bleeding badly. Ho gave
him just such a punching for six rounds as
ho did Jack Wilkes down at South Omaha a
year or two ago. You know I was on the
atago with you. If ho had Had a little moro
tlmo ho would have shut both his eyes. And
a funny thing about the affair , too. was that
Dawson fought very much llko Wilkes ; ho
rushed Tom like n mad bull , but ho couldn't
find him. I loll you I think that man Kyan
ono of the wonders of the modern ring. "
The Sioux City sports are to have n picnic
this afternoon , Providence smiling. They
are going to got ivboa nl a steamer , along
with Billy O'Donnell , their featherweight
pride , and GcorgoStouttho Omaha Kid , and
steam up tlio IMg Muddy to nn island a few
miles above the city , nnd determine oncoand
for all which of the two is the best man.
They are to contest for $500 a side , and a
rattling mill Is a foregone conclusion. O'Don-
nell , who fought an ej'hty-ono ! round draw
with Danny D.ily n few months ago , Is much
moro than mediocre. Ho Is a staunch , cun
ning little mug. and puts up a vicious artlclo
of the gamo. I saw him whipped once by a
man thirty pounds heavier nnd fully three
Inches taller , after having the battle well in
band , but only by reason of n foul. And I
picked him then for n winner whenever he
Baton an equal match. In Stout ho has this ,
ut such good reports have coma from thu
Kid thnt I will wait until the light Is over
before 1 attempt to tell you who U the best
man. In this connection it might bo added
that Stout nnd Gardner , the two "Omaha
Kids , " are tvo separate anil dUtlnct animals.
Lust week I ventured the suspicion that they
Vrero ono and the same.
Next Tuesday night before the National
Sporting club , Jxmdon , Englandthoro will
bo n terrific clash of corrugated nntopodinn
tnnuloys. It Is the night of the Slavln-IIall
fight , and tremendous interest Is rife among
the sporty Johnny Dulls , for what reason ,
however , It would b < s dlDleult to say , Frank
Patrick Slavln has Became a slmon pure
iubjoct of the Queen by accllmatUatlon , but
like Hall , is a native of Australia. This
cause alone , hoxvuvcr , would make
him the prejudicial favorlto over Jim ,
who is looked upon In the light of
a foreigner. Still , on form. Slavm would
roizu favorite anywhere , nnd while there Is
no betting on what , is considered n Jug-
handled match In this country , across they
are playing Patricus at odds of three to one
with u liberality that amounts almost to pro
digality. They cannot figure out by any pro-
cc > of mathematics or that rational faculty
which distinguishes man from the lower
animals , how a gladiator of Jim's "heft" and
and peculiar formation can have oven the
ghost of n show with the burly and fer
ruginous limbed Slaviu. And neither can
any ono else. Hut there has been so many >
hard llrst choice falls during the past
twelve months or so , that the wise boys who
have been wont to pick the winners for other
people have become decidedly loary of tills
sort of prognostication and havn learned to
guard their reps with more Jealous caro.
Honcc in these days nil tips have n proviso
for a running mate ,

Dick Moore. It M pleasing to note , won his
fight with Tom Murray tip In St. Paul the
other night , although It was n Herculean
etUi . The two men had met twice before , n
draw each tlmo , hut the third , in accord
ance with nnclcnt say-so , proved the charm ,
nnd the manly lUchanl demonstrated that ho
had : the best stuff iu him. As Dick'pulled out
about 11,400 on the night It Is quite probable 1
that ho will take In the World's fair I nnd

-This Is certainly an attractive program
nnd with the sponsor good stables hero each
event Is likely to bo thrilling nnd uxrlting
enough to please the most fastidious. In
fact / , a bolter field of horses will bo hero
than nt any previous meeting over held hero ,
nnd the citizens of Omaha .should not fall to
attest their appreciation of the Koadster
club's enterprise by extending to It the most
liberal patronage. Each day should bo
marked by big crowds , and the business men
of the city will do the proper thing If they
sco that this is the caso. As in other cities
this Juno mooting should bomado a veritable
society event. All ladles arc fond of horses
and the beaux should not overlook a drive to
the driving park on this occasion.

Hub' * Hrcuzy Sporting Note * .
The past week bus been favorable for
grouse and qunil in northwestern Nebraska.
There are a larger number of late broods of
grouse than usual , owing to family plans
having been upset by the April prairie Ures.
Wo have seen no early broods as yet , but the
cocks have all congregated by themselves.
which is a sure sign Unit the nesting is well'
along.
Quail have runted and are now laying. The
earlier broods will be out of the.shell by the
last of June.
Have had n try at channel cat.Jn the South
Lpup , but without success. iJy June I the
Dig fellows ought to be running well.
Keports from Sheridan. Wyo.say that the
trout arc raising well , but the water is a
trifle cold yet to inuko it pleasant wading.
You sportsmen who are going up on the $10
round trip on the Burlington want , to take
your fishing tackle nlonc and don't forget a
liberal supply of coachmun Hies.
E. A. ilolyoko , well known to Omaha dog
mea as the owner of that clipping good
pointer "Don of Ossian , " is putting in his
time iu the interest of the Northwestern
Mutual Life Insurance company on the road
between Kavenna and Alliance , and inci
dentally hunting hens' nests ( I mean prairie
hens ) , so ho will know where , when nnd how
to exorcise "Don" ' and his now Parker ham-
merless when the fruit is ripe. Ed may know
a good pointer when ho sees one , but
he can't ' piny high five a little bit.
Alderman John Steel of the same company ,
after writing a few good risks in Broken
Bow , spent the tail end of last week at Wil
low ranch on the Soutli Loup after catfish.
If John's stock of patience was as Inex
haustible as his fund of anecdotes his fishing
trio might have been-morn succesful.
i Churlio Barker , the professional trainer of
Kavcnna , has got a good string of dogs in i
his bunds for the coming season , but says ho
can accommodate n few moro. Ho has at
present the English setters "Speck , " Ezra
Comfort , Philadelphia. "Lord Lucifer , " E.
A. Yaut. Chicago. "Koek , " E. J. Brown ,

If I may be allowed to blow my own bazoo
a little I will say that the Loup Farm ken

don , Out. , under the conditions of the special
nqt of the Dominion Parliament creating
the Canndlnii Order of the Woodmen of the
World.
The ropo't of the committee on creden
tials was considered nnd npprovod , The
sovereign commander was requested to sub
mit n code of bylaws prepared by hjtn , .
which were considered section by sec- '
tlon mid ndoptcd. The laws are similar to
the laws of the sovereign camp , thus secur
ing the uniformity so desirable in nil
branches of woodcraft. The construction
of the disposition of the emergency fund re
quired by the act of Parliament was re
ferred to the secretary to secure a ruling of
the Dominion superintendent.- the ncccsv
slty of placing It In n permanent fund or
not. It not the clork' was authorized to
eliminate this provision from the laws nnd
ndjust the same so as to make the ndvnnco
nsscssmcnt the emergency fund. The limit
of ngo was fixed nt 10 to 55 , the rates being
the same as the sovereign camp. The per
capita tax was llxcd nt $2 par annum.

A resolution was ndoptoa to effect nn nr-
rnngement , If possible , with the sovereign
camp to accept the proceeds of assessments
nnd pay the losses to the head camp until
the proceeds of one assessment will pay a
maximum loss In full. The executive coun
cil was instructed to investigate the matter ,
and If such an arrangement can legally bo
made , the executive council was authorized
to make a contract to that effect ,
The laws adopted provide that the rituals ,
secret work , etc. , of the sovereign camp
shall bo the ritualistic work of the camps of
Woodmen in Canada.
