OMAHA'S ' INAUGURAL RUNNING MEETING
Now jr Cycle Go lp The Ball Players
Alolungo Shooting and I'laUlnB A Com
ing Thumper Tlt-Tnt tic of the Turf
nnd General Spurts.
It begins to look Indeed ns 1 fTommy Ilynn
was the champion Imrd luck pugilist of
modern times. The Nemesis that started for
his curls at Now Orleans nearly two years
ago , when a severe and sudden attack of
tonsdltls prevented him from meeting
Danny Neeilhnm the second tune , lias clung
nbout his neck over since with the persist
ency of the Olil Man of the Sea. Try as
sedulously us ho may lie cannot shako the
hoodoo off. After this first Crescent City
t fiasco ho coinos back north , makes , thrco or
Jour dark luntcrn lights for the love of the
thing , and wins them , of course , without
ustaiulng niar or marlc. Finally , the so-
called South Omaha club hangs up a purse
of Sl,000 with a sldo bet of S500 for Tommy
and Jack Wilkcs to go after. Tommy comes
hero with his trainer , Farmer Burns , and nt
great expense puts In two months of Indus
I trious training , gets Into the finest fettle ,
then Into the ring ana jabs the St. Louis
man in the mug until his own mother would
Imvo been unable to recognize him. Out the
whole affair was cut and dried , and when
Tommy has Wilkcs moro dead than alive ,
the voforco arbitrarily stops tho" light
niul calls it a draw , for what
reason or by what right no ono has
over been nblo to learn. The
robbery Is sucn a hlgli-hlndcd ono , hotvovcr ,
und elicits such general condemnation that
this allotted club gives Kyau 1000 of tlio
purse , Again , lust winter , Tommy was
matched for the full course by the New
Orleans Olympic club , this tlmo against
George Dawson , the Australian crackerJack -
Jack , for n JOBOO purao. They wcro to have
fought March 1 last , but n day or two before
tbo event was to come oft liyan sprains an
nnklo so severely its to bo compelled to tulco
tils bed. Of course the light had to bo
called oft and hard luck deprived the
Chicago boy of the opportunity of Ids life.
Tlicso repeated mishaps evoked considerable
unfavorable , ns neil as unjust , comment
nnd Uyan hi'somo quarters was looked upon
with suspicion. Never was greater wrong
done a fighter. The untoward clrcum-
ituni'cs that had attcndcd > all of Tommy's
engagements , with the exception of tlio
South Omaha outruge , were beyond the
control of man. Ho has always been honest
end willing , but the fates have been
against him.
Sick at heart nnd all but discouraged ,
Ryan returns to Ublcugo after his second
mlsfortuno In thu south und about half in
tends to rcnounco tlio ring. Ills disappoint
ment over Ids failure to appear against D.iw-
ton was something ho could find no surcease
from. Had not fortuitous clrcum.
Itaaccs , or unfortultous , I must nttd
lo bo correct , as subsequent events
trill demonstrate , again mndo it possible for
\ < ( Cyan to meet IXuvoon , I think ho would cer
tainly ha\o retired. IJut Hilly M'ulilon ' ,
Diiwson's manager , nnd Louis Houseman.
Ityan's representative , moot in Chicago a
few weeks late'r und ugnln agree upon a
fiulsli meeting between their respective pro
teges for f 10WX ) aside , und as en earnest of
their good intentions deposit a for
feit of tl.OOO cacti with the Chicago
cage Herald. Any shrewd man would
uaro recognized very readily that
this enormous stake was an absolute barrier
lo Uiu light. Hut In this case the shrtnvd
ban wusu't on deck , and tbo whole JotI
a bit of tbo subtle Mnddcn's fine Italian en
gineering. The finish flubt nil arranged for ,
Madden enters Into an agreement with the
Ilyan pcoplo for a six-round RO In the Second
HcKim-jiit armory , Chicago , for the pate , be
tween Tommy nnd George , which 1 firmly
bcliovo was only a tryout for D.uvson per
Maddcn's preconcerted program. The tryout
comes ofl and Hynn doesn't do a thing to the
ambitious Australian. Ho only knocks him
down thrice , beats n lively Muzur.ika up and
down his ribs and about his kidneys , punches
both eyes into the shade , and takes such
other unwarrantable liberties with his cor
poreal being ns to convince him that ho Is
"liko the man driving the hearse , not in It. "
Bang I
Sure. Madden and Dawson , both arrive at
this conclusion , lu attestation to which
statement it is but necessary to chronlclo
the fact that last week Madden withdrew
his $ 1,000 forfeit from the Chicago Herald
nnd declared the finish fight between Uyan
and D.-UVROU off. This is the crowning ca
tastrophe in Hyan's career , and sufilcleut It
is to break up oven a stauncher man than
ho. Ho was hard at work training lit Mount
Clements when the news was wafted to
him , and woo it would liavo been for Mad
den or Dawson either , bad they been pres
ent on the occasion. The probabilities are
that Tommy would have made their stay a
merry ono.
LIkounto Ilyan , the Immortal John O.
Hccnan was the hard luck fighter of his day
and ago. Ho was n man of magnificent
physique nnd tremendous power , game us n
pebble , a hard hitter and extremely clover.
In short , John C. was considered the peer of
any man living , and yet ho never won a
fight , that is , a prominent ono. With Tom
Saycrs , tbo English roughs broke in'o the
ring , nnd just us vlctoiy was about to bo
clinched by the Denlcla boy , stopped the
fight and saved their man. AVith Tom King ,
ho was unquestionably "dosed" by a disloyal
second , ono Jack Macdonald , but nt that
knocked his man out In the seventeenth
round. Instantly , according to the Now
York Clipper's subsequent story of the great
battle , tlio ring was filled with the partisans
of the KnglUiiman , und several minutes
elapsed before King was brought to con
sciousness and delivered at the scratch.
Hut during the tlmo that King lay Inscnsl-
bio In Ids corner no ono claimed the light for
Heenun us his seconds should liavo done ,
and ho went to tbo sera tali to renew n light
that under the rules h'l had already won had
his handlers done their duty. At this
juncture the American appeared bewildered
und stupefied , and wns soon nt the mercy of
the Hrlton , nnd In the thirty-fourth round
Tir I tor Macdonald threw up the sponge. In
his great fight with John Moirlsbuy , after
demonstrating that he wns n Hiiro winner ,
John ( J. broke two knurklei of his right
hand by striking ono of the ring stakes , and
after ono of the most dogged and terrific
fights of the century , was knocked out in
the eleventh round , Hecnnn's last uppoar-
anco In tboring was when ho acted ns jiulgo
for Jem Muco In his light with Tom Allen at
Now Orleans , Muv 10 , 1870. Ho never re
covered from tlio dosing ho got In Kngland
and died October 85 , 1STII , in a railroad car at
Green Ulver station , Wyoming , while on-
route to California for the benefit of his
health.
The now Columbl-m club , Chicago , will

better. I know but little about Flood other
than tha.t ho la from Sydney , N. S.V. . , and

Charlie Mitchell writes that he is in good
condition , barring a lame knee. Things are
very quiet on the other sldo and ho is anx
ious to return to this country. Bo will not
coma over , however , for several weeks , as
lie does not feel disposed that Corbott should
harvest a now grist of ads lit 1ii3 expense.
The U\o liavo not boon matched and there is
about as much chance ot a battle between
them as there is between Johnny Bull him
self and Uncle Sam. In conclusion Mitchell
adds : " 1'vo received no word regarding my
alleged contest with Corbott from your side
of tlio water no club offer or anything else.
But then it is so far off I guess they think
thcro is plenty of time. - I shall "bo on hand
If Corbott Is agreeable and if J don't win
I imagine I shall render a good account of
myself. "
As for Corbott , the Chicago papers tell us
that ho will continue as an aspirant for
Booth's mantle until the tlmo arrives when
it will bo necessary for him to begin training
for his light wltli Mitchell. What fight ?
Tlio chumulon is cunning If nothing else.
"After my light with Mitchell , " the actor is
made to say , "I will bo open to moot any man
In the world , Jnokson preforicd. I am
anxious ttiat the question of superiority be
tween in ) self and Jackson bo decided. "
If that Is so why didn't Jay Jay cover Par
son Davies' $ J,500 forfeit to settle this very
controversy ? Now , nil this stuff about
Mitchell and JncKson Is rot , but thcro is a
real chnnco open for the Thespian thumper.

Is now in Chicago , und has announced , time

not tear himself anay from the footlights ,
Peter Jackhon or Charlie Mitchell are
Quinn's next choice.
Anybody who has over met J. J. Qulnn

Ho is ono ot those square-jawed , brusque ,
husky Irishmen who generally open their
mouths when they have anything to say.
The sporting world nttubutcd p.iresls to J ,
J. when ho matched Denver Kd fur $5,003 a
side against the unbeaten Harriccchaniplon ,
It was n winning investment , now-
over , and now the bportiug world
lias considerable esteem for Mister
Qulnn. He is not as big n fool as ho
looks. So it simmers down to Clio simple
fact that If Corbutt wants u fight ho can get
It , with or without frills. Smith at all
times stands ready to ucconunodato Jim ,
and Qulun stands ready to back Ud ,
The Coney Island has at last succeeded In

The sagacious Judge Newton olforcd (5,000
for tlio purse , but Mr. O'HourUo , Dlxon'a
banker , held out for fTMW. , As neither
would accede , It looked for a time as if the
match wouldn't go.
"I'll toll you what I'll do , " soldi the judge
at this Juncture.
"What ? " Inquired O'Kourke.
"Toss n penny with you whether It shall
bo 5,000 or ? 0,500 , " answered tbo judgo.
"Lot's see your stuff , " rojolnctl tbo Bos-
Ionian ,
And thereupon the judge walked into the
club's warehouse , pulled out a 40,500 , green
back from a bale standing in thu corner , and
returning held it up before O'Kourko's ' shark-
lluo gaze.
"Got up the penny , quick , " ho huskily
gasped.

T NOW looks as If
Omaha's inaugural
running meet , July
4 , 5 and 0 , gives
every promise of
proving a hummer.
ifcsaj.Tho newly organ
ized Jockey club has
mot with substan
tial support at tno
hands of the busi
ness men nnd Is correspondingly olatcd.
Its officers , President W. J. Perry , Yieu
President P. H. Kinney and Manager J. A.
Tuthlll , nro working hard nnd systemati
cally nnd will brook no intimation of failure.
Mr. Tutbill , purticularly , has been on the
jump since the Inception ot tbo project and
so earnest and Intelligent have been his en
deavors that ho has every reliance In the
success of tbo meeting. Ho says that it is
not the club's object to achieve any very de
cided financial results , but rather to promote -
mete the running horse industry and to
establish the sport permanently and solidly
hero. If there nro any emoluments to bo de
rived from the conduct of the same they
must como from future and moro elaborate
meetings.
Already tlioro have been from seventy to
eighty head of horses booked , and many moro
are expected. The majority of these already
secured nro western liorscs , but of sufficient
reputation to guarantee a splendid three
days session. The mooting opens In the
afternoon of the Fourth and continues on to
tlio ad inclusive. There will bo four events
each day , the horses to bo culled to the post
at 10 : ! ! sharp each afternoon , The purses
aggregate a trllio over 1,000 , , which is speak
ing well for the liberality of the club , con
sidering that the venture is an untried ono
in this section of the country. That tlio re
sults will provo satisfactory Is anything but
problematical. A widespread Interest is
being manifested in the meeting and tlio
prospects uro llattering fora largo a ttendunco
of outsiders.
The fairground track Is the acknowledged
fyumor half-mile track of the country und
for this reason alone will receive the coun
tenance of horsemen who under different
conditions would not think of entering here.
The truolc , naturally superior In numerous
respects , will bo constantly kept In ns nearly
a perfect condition us the ingenuity of the
Kinney brothers can make it. It will besprinkled
sprinkled , scraped und rolled nightly , and
with anything like respectable weather tlio
owners of tlio highbred bangtails will liavo
no kick coming. All thn events will bo run
under the American racing rules , except ns
to llcensa , and owners can rely on every
protection granted all the popular tracks of
the country ,
As n token of tbo Intense popularity of
tbo sport It Is but necessary to mention the
experience of the management at Lntcnla
this season , Tlioy opened up with the
special feature of a "Ladles Day. " Tlio
stands wcro filled with American beauties
in showy garb and It was universally
accorded that a lilt had been mndo. But
every day since has been ladies day , The
stanus are always tilled with tbo gentler
cox nnd the title of ladies day has lost its
significance. There is no outdoor sport so
dear to the fcmlnlno heart ns a blood-stir
ring running' race nnd while thu masculines
grow loud and boisterous over any particu
larly good performance their demeanor is
nothing when compared with the enthu
siasm of the ladles. All the big race courses
today are fashionable society resorts and of
all summer amusements tbcro is none so
excitingly enjoyable ns the struggles of the
gallopers. It would bo a very material dis
appointment if Omaha should fail to make
her initial meeting u big hurrah from the
jump.
The local jockey club contemplates mak
ing a circuit through Nebraska and loiva.
and already the secretary U in receipt of
communications from half a dozen points or
more wanting to arrange for meetings lu
their respective cities. This Is another
vigorous proof that the running horse will

the head of this proposed circuit ill re
ceive prompt recognition. After tlio mooting
here in July it would be an easy matter for

It is tlio hope of the Omaha Jockov club to
bo enabled as early ns next June to Inaug
urate a great western derby , for which a

est in such affairs will bo hung up : a prize
of sufficient dimensions and magnetism as to
attract hero horses of national reputation.
With success this season next year's meet
ings will bo put In on a more extensive
basis , and instead of a three days session
they will bo scheduled for as many weeks.

OMAHA , Juno 22. To the Sporting Editor
of TnB BEE : I herewith lay before your
notice a description of the coming pugilist
( I don't think ) . His nnmo Is Gcorgo Wright.
Ho IE > a painter in the well known carriage
factory of A. J. Simpson. Ho has an Idea
that bo can make James J. Corbett give up
the championship belt , and asked mo to try
when Corbett came hero to got him together
with him so tncy could mix. I said I would
write to Mr. Grlawold nnd see if I could not
manage It. Ho went to Lincoln on the day
that Corbott wus ncrc , so I said nothing to
you , but as he still says ho thinks ho can do
the champion I send you his sire nnd looks.
It is very interesting to mo that ho should
win because ho has promised to elvc mo a
couploof conipllmentui'ics to tbo first show
ho goes out with. His height Is six feet and
ono-hulf Inch , and weight 185 pounds. His
boxing ability is nothing to speak of , but ho
hits like u mule kicks. Ho wears lils hair a
la Corbott , which fact alone ought to win
many n fight. It Is a brilliant Italian sunset
color ( by Huubons ) . Ho is as quick ns a cat
and ns light on his feet as a load of hay. I
guess I nm u novieo In writing a description ,
but you can shape it up au O. K. Wright
also says ho can eat Jack Davis' blood raw.
Cun't you ( Ix up u little mill for CJcorgio and
get him killed. Hcspcctfully ,
K. J. ' . JOIIJJSTONE.
