Questions Answered.
The dedication of Chicago's now Colum
bian club will take place tomorrow night
with a finish light between Martin Costello ,
the Buffalo , and Denver Billy Woods , and a
rpusing attcudanco is a guaranteed certainty.
Preceding the premier event the card calls
for n ten-round go between Joe Goddard , the
Barrier champion , and Willis Kennedy ,
jclept the Lovco ( Jiant of Now Orleans ,
which virtually means a knockout for ono or
tno other , as It Is biff I smash I bang ! with
both men from the tap of the pong to the
end. They aio both big , powerful men ,
anil it Isn't reasonable to expect much fistic
embroidery in their work or to see it pio-
longed beyond a half-dozen rounds or so.
With the stars of the evening it Is differ
ent. While Woods Is an indlffcicnt sort of n
man , ho 1mb demuiibtrnted his ability to pro
long a fight , and at stages put enough ani
mation in it to keep the ring sldois nwako ,
anyway. JIo Is a big fellow and will light at
not less than 185 pounds , nnii In this respect
will have pounds and pounds the bust of the
Buffalo , llo has a round body with largo
and powerful legs and aims , and , If ho wcto
only fond ot punching , ought to make n
creditable showing with any of the big "uns "
But hq isn't. Ho whipped Jack Davis of
this city n Httlo over two years ago , out In
'Frisco , by a acintch , uiul that Is the princi
pal exploit In tils career , although ho lasted
for ttlrtj-four ion lids against Joe Choynskl ,
who also defeated Jack. In this latter flght
the California ) ! had him all but out in the
first round. The gong alone saved him.
Woods spreads a good deal In posi
tion and thereby loses an inch or two In
hcighth. Ho Is ns light on his feet as a Jack
MeAullfTo , and really ought to bo capable/
great things , but ho dreads the g.iff In the
opening round with Choynskl ho sprinted
around Joe llko n man on a anfoty ulcyclo , hut
the Callforninn ilnlly llddled him over on the
ropes ana before ho could got away plunked
an ugly ono on his kisser This caused him to
sprint harder than o\er , but ho suddenly
hailed and rushed In , head down , for a rally.
A heavy swing from Joo'a i ight eaught him
ilush on the nose and staggered him to the
ropes , Chojnskl was upon him llko a cat ,
anil another tight departed on the Jaw-
dropped him under the ropes , when the
cong sounded ,
After this It was n long distance race with
the Denver mnn , but Chovnskl kept cutting
across lots and milling Hilly in the pockets ,
Ho soon had him hcsmeaicd with blood1 his
nose smashed and n protubcianco over his
left ojo prominent enough to hang jour hat
on. But ho was a gnmo pcdostilan and kept
up the sprint with piovoking pcrfistenco
It began to loolt llko an ull-nlght walk
around , when in the tlilitj-fourth Joe
caught the Coloradonn in a corner and with
1 stiaight left dropped him like an old suit
of clothes. Ho was no sooner up than o
right sent him down again for good
Xlmt is about the extent of vVood's stiu
engagements.
About Costcllo. In the 11 rat place thcro Is
comparatively Httlo known about him in
this country , although ho is an Amcrlcar
boy , born and biod In Huflulo. N V , whcnci
comes his boubriquot , the Buffalo 1 saw
him In Isow Orleans this spring and ho Is n
\ory likely looking chap , standing a tillli
within lUofcot elo\en , nud I hardly tlilnl :
ho will enter the i Ing ON er 100 pound * Whci
but a kid Costello won many gallant lights
but In lhT7 \amosud to Australia , scltlluf :
In Melbouine , UU vaioor iu the laud of tin
roads llko n fairy talo. At bookmaking -
making In o short tlmo ho amassed nearly
SOO,000 in United States curioncy. After
ccumulatinu this handsome fortune Cos-
; ello opened up n snorting resort in Mel-
Murno , but the fates turned against him
ml within a year ho was again next to pen-
illess This condition made him a candi-
late for the ling once more , with a decided
imbition to meet Bob Fitzsimmons , but this
was never satisfied. Instead , however , ho
undo three lights withFinnk Sl.ivin , the
mrly heavyweight lecently whipped by
iiin Hall in London. The llrst mcut-
ng icsultod In a draw alter thirtv-
ino hard rounds. In the. second battle it is
laimcd that the Buffalo beat the big
Australian in six rounds , but was joboed out
f the llpht. The third time Slavin knocked
.he Buffalo out in nine rounds. It took
| > lneo on the turf , and ns Martin had fulled
to provide spikes for his fighting gaiters , ho
was compelled to fight in his stocking feet.
This dereliction on his part c\idcntly lost
the battle for him , as ho was un.iblo to pre-
sonohls cqualibrium on the damp and slip
pery sward. After this ho hau n lively
career in the antipodes , and whipped such
staunch ones ns Fogarty , Starlight , Buck
and Stoolo. On November 27 last , the Buf
falo mot Alex Greggams , the San Francisco
mnn , before the Coney Island club , and after
.1 Htclcss walknround of eighty rounds , the
affair was called a diaw.
Now that the reader's memory lias been
egged as to the achievements of the two
men , ho can compare notes and pick out the
w Inner. It w ill undoubtedly bo a veiy inter
esting mill , as it means about everything to
each man. Woods will hn o numerous ad
vantages over Costello , indudtng height ,
weight , reach ana jouth , and if ho loses ho
might as well go back to Colorado and con-
line his abilities to ono of Hugh Murphy's
gianito quarries , for ho can \\o\or \ hope for
another show before any of the big clubs ,
The money hung up is $ 'Jf > 00 , ijMO of w hlch
is to go for Pond's oxtiuet and bandages for
the loser.
- Tw'6 weeks later , Juno 20 , the Columbian
"will hold its second soiree , and the stellar
performers in this Httlo drama will bo Bobby
Burns , who so clo\erly mastered the ox-
champion , Cat McCarthy , and Hughoy
Napier , the champion 12'J-pounder of Now
South Wales. Napier is ono of the string of
pugs lecently brought over by Bookmaker
Joe Hairls , and is highly spoken of , Just
how good ho Is , however , remains to bo seen ,
but ns the numerous kangaroos who have
\Isitcd the land of the fico and the homo of
the bravo duilng the last llvo jcars have al
most Invariably tirncd out light , much faith
is justified m the endorsement that accom
panies Hughcy. Wo know Burns has a btlit
argument up his slco\o , hence the prospect
is bright fora hot second night. The Httlo
follows will contend at l'J2 pounds for a $ i,000
pin so.
In July Solly Smith of 'Ftisco and Johnny
Otlllln of Brnintiuo. Ma s. , will enter into a
controversi for the featherweight champion
ship of America and a 1,000 pot of moiioy ,
The exact dnto , ns jot , has not been
promulgated , but whenever it does como off
the Columbian may safely count on a Jammed
liouso. In this contest 1 havu no hesitancy
in expressing m > preference. I think Grillln
a sure winner 'Iho fact that shrewd Tom
O'Uourko won't allow Champion Oeorgo
Dixon to approach within hulling distance of
the Httlo Now nnglnnder , is pioof enough
that he is the most dangerous of all the Httlo
ones , Again all of Smith's exploits have
been conlliied to his ow n cellar door Ho de
feated Dal Hawkins , Dmnj Dalv of this
city , and Johnny Van Heest out thcro , but if
reports nro iruo , nlnnis had a shade the
best of the management. Ills victory ovei
Van Hccst , In pauicular , was a notoriously
dirty piece of woik , the o\unt being little
lebs than n lough-anil tumble lurroom scrap
And In his light with Dily , too , it w.is. the
Ineompotonc'V of the icfeico , Joe Goddard ,
that came ulttiin a hair's breadth of putting
an etcinnl quietus to the Omnluv boy Bui

In the latter pirt of July or earlj' in
Vugust Tommy Rj an and George Daw son
w ill cndea\ to adjust their long standing
differences , but it is a trifle previous yet to
ndulgo in any comments on the outcome of
; his That it is the chief attraction o far on
the Columbian's card , there is no disputing ,
jut thcro are weeks and weeks yet in which
it may bo thoroughly and intelligently dis
cussed. Over and above these matches
there is a score or so of aspiring pugs await
ing the club's beck and call , among whom
might be mentioned the remainder of liar-
pis' AustralHn strimr , Denny , Crccdon and
Trcacy. All over tno country the short-
liaiicdaroon the move , and the convciging
point seems to be Chicago.
Up in St. Paul , before the Phccnix club , on
Thuisday night , Juno 22 , Dick Moore , who
has won several fights in this city , will become -
como neighborlj' with "bhadow" Maber , the
Australian welterweight , for n $1,000 purse
and a side bet of the same amount. The
Shadow" has been winning about nil his
lights latclj' , but in Dick , I think , ho will
have a harder nut to crack than usual.
At the Coney Island club the next event , a
finish light between Jim Daly , Corbett's old
sparring pirtner , and .loo Butler , the Phila
delphia colored middleweight , will como off
one week from Wednesday next , Juno 2.2.
At Now Orleans the people nro anxiously

The Meeting1 of the Gciitlrtncn'n Itondstor
Club this YVook.
The llrst regular summer trotting meeting
given under the auspices of the Omaha Gen
tlemen's Hoadstcr club will open up at the
fair giouuds course next Wednesday after
noon and continue through Friday , the 10th.
The prospects for an immense meeting
could not bo moro llattormg , and the man
agement is correspondingly happy. Since
II. H Martin has boon inducted into the
seciotary's ofllco there has boon a marked
Improvement In the conduct of affa Irs. Ho
combines all the qualifications necessary to
success , energy , intelligence and honesty ,
and the lovers of horse may bo prepared for
the hugcstnnd best meeting over hold in
this vicinity , The Held of horses entered is
n magnificent ono and Includes something
like 100 head , representing the country over ,
from Dakota to Texas , ns will bo seen by the
list that subjoins.
'Iho Kinney brothers , who have the
grounds in charge , have put the truck and
all its accessories in the most perfect condi
tion ; cleaned out ami improved the stands ,
arranged for Inviting lefreshtnent booths ,
and In fact , they have neglected nothing
calculated to enhance the pleasure and com-
foi t of the club's patrons. That the three
days nro to bo fraught with great sport
there Is now no room to doubt , and it Is only
reasonable to expect it will bo witnessed by
much larger ciowds than over assembled
here. An open air concert w ill bo one of the
dally features.
Mossis Burkctt and Collins , two hustling
members of the executive committee , ha\o
made an extensive trip throughout the state
ottering inducements to horsemen nnd com-
iiiuicl.il men eeuerally to attend nnd they re
port that they mot with gratifyingcncourngo-
incnt every w hero. The guarantee fund has
nil boon paid in and everything awaits the
tap of the bell tnat will send the ilj-ers off
Mem' srs In good standing ate urgently re
quested to wear their badges , which will ad
mit the weatcr and lady to anj part of the
grounds The railroads have nil agreed
upon ono faro nnd a third for lound trip
tickets from all points within 100 miles of
the city , und the indications aie that the at
tendance dallj' from abroad will bo large.
Chiof.of Police Seavoj has detailed u force
to preserve eider on the grounds , and be
sides these the club will hnvo its own private
vato pitiolmen Secretary Martin is in to
of u couimuulcutiou from W. A. L. Gib
bon , president of the Commercial club , to
the effect that that organization will do all
in its power to induce the wholesale houses
to close at least for ono half dav during the
meeting. The club is desirous of extending
thanks to the business men of the citj for
their substantial encouragement and sup
port. W. A. Paxton , jr. , has been most
acthely interested in the success of the
club's effort , and accomplished much In se
curing the guarantee fund.
