There Js now no disputing the fact that
Domlntck O'Mnllcy nnd Louis Houseman nro
bigger men than Governor Mathews of Indi
ana. That is n truth that stands out as
boldly as Tommy H.yan's nose. The Hoosler
state Is but so much gossamer when It comes
to checking the adranco of this equatorial
nnd hyperborean sport. If they sco proper
to have a llttlo scrap , a little scrap they'll '
liavo , "and that's all thcro la to It. Neither
Jowcr or higher court , his gubernatorial ex-
ccllcncy , nor the constabulary have any ter
rors for this pair of hot boys , and when I un
dertake to put on a flght hero next winter
I'll get "next" to Dom and Lou , sure.
Contrary to all threats and proscriptions ,
the Columbian club , of which the two above
mentioned sporty individuals arc the head
and front , pulled oil its second regularly
scheduled fistic card last Monday evening
without the Bcmbhinco of an Interference ,
and it looks now as If the Columbian will bo
allowed to continue its harmless dlvcrtlse-
tncnts throughout the summer without fear
of molestation. These who are In on the
'dlvy , " however , stand a chance of bitter
disappointment , for so far the project has
been a losing venture. This ought to bo suf
ficient , In Itself , to evoke positive action on
the part of the goody-good clement , for
Gladstone's famous line , that nothing suc
ceeds llko success , has become a proverb.
Hut rv small number over 1,000 people as
sembled under the big shed at Koby last
Monday night to see Peter Maher smash Mr.
Flood Into somnolency , and Ilughoy Napier
trip Bobby Burns of his reputation. The
tccrot of this outcome was simply that
Matter was too big for Flood nnd Napier too
long for Bobby. Both mills -were Interest
ing , however , and the crowd was much bet
ter pleased than on the opening night , when
Goildard hammered Kennedy the counter
feit , and Buffalo Costello and Billy Woods
made a dead heat of their long distance
print. The country has had a surfeit of
dub prize lights and it will bo only the top-
notchcrs who will draw a paying crowd of
spectators in the future. If Corbott and
Mitchell should meet at the Columbian the
crush would bo something unheard of , but
all the MnheH , Woods , Naplers , Kennedys ,
Burns' and Jones' living will not bo sufll-
clently magnetic to show a balance on the
right side of the ledger of any club in exist
ence. The sooner Doininlck and Louis tum
ble to this fnct the more plethoric will grow
their pocket books. To bo sure , thcro are
plenty of big attractions outside of the
champion and Mitchell. There Is Peter
Jackson , Jack McAulifTo , Gcorgo Dlxon ,
Tommy Itynn , Billy Smith , Gcorgo Dawson ,
Bob FUzslmmons , Joe Choylnski , Johnny
GrlQln , Solly Smith , and many more , who
can always be counted on to pull In the long
green.
It is pleasant to note , too , that the Colum
bian realizes all this , and nil of their future
bookings are superior to those that have al
ready eventuated. In corroboratlon of this
It Is only sufficient to rcmark that on next
club' night , Monday , July 10 , Johnny Grinin
the Braintroo lad , and Solly Smith , the
Btocky llttlo 'Frlscoan , will don the ccatus
and feint and jab and punch for the mastery.
This will bo a flghtworth a thousand miles
travel to see , and for one , 1 promise to po
there. Following this comes Alex Greggams
and Dan Crccdon , the Australian. ; then
"Younc Corbett" n "Frisco p'rotcgo of
Champion Jim's and Paddy Smith , Denver
Ed's brother.1 A's to Grcggainsaud Crccdon ,
while they are capable of interesting work ,
there remains but little to bo said. Young
Corbott and Smith will arouse the greater
interest simply from the fact that Corbett ,
the big 'un , will bo bohiad his And , and Den
ver Ea behind his speckle-faced brother.
The principals are lightweights , and while
of course nothing whatsoever Is known this
way about Young Corbett , I can promise you
.faithfully that it will take a good stiff ono
to lick Denver Ed's llttlo brother.
The fun of the thing , however , will bo on
the side , when Denver Ed and Jim Corbett
Trill , In all likelihood , fight the only light
they probably over will flght. It will bo a
Ungutstlcal affair , and I expect Goddard's
Conqueror to come out with the honors. Ho
demonstrated his ability to handle a nasty
tongue when the Barrier champion per
sisted in his butting , gouging and elbowing
him In their fight at New Orleans last
March. Wb.Uo Corbett is i cry fluent whun
plastering the press with his fulsome per
sonality , the truth of the axiom of 1'Es-
trango ,
Much toncuoand much judgment seldom go
together ,
makes itself apparent , and If ho once gets to
wapping billlngsguto and rodomontade
with the Brummagcn , that vortobrated
organ connected with the hyold arch be
tween Corbett's thick jaws will become a
clumsy implement of defense indeed , nnd I
vrot you ho will bo inclined more than once
to resort to the weapons that subverted the
mighty John-Ii. "Hullygeol" how Denver
Ed will tjirow the soup of the perilous into
him it the club allows this play on' the side
to go.
go.Whllo
Whllo havlng the champion in hand It
might not bo amiss to run a paragraph from
Macon McCormlck'a last Sunday's grist ,
with which I have always been In full ac
cord. Mao says : /
For several weeks men presumed to bo In
the confidence- the powers that bo In au
thority In the Coney Island Athlotio club
have claimed that It had Jim Corbott'9 sig
nature to a contract to box Charley Michell
In Its ring. That thcro was some foundation
for this claim would appear from the fact
that early this week Corbott issued a publlo
notluo to Charley Mitchell to the effect that
unless ho signs articles of agreement to box
him within six weeks ho will consider the
match off nnd will hold himself open to fight
any other man in the world , Peter Jackson
preferred. To .this ultimatum Mitchell
makes prompt response. Ilotmys : "I have
not heard from any club offering a purse nor
* have I received articles for a match from
either Corbott or any club In America , I
nm willing nnd" anxiously waiting
to hear from Corbott and the
club on the articles nnd purso.V I
have never taken much stock in this yro.
nosed match between Corbott and Mitchell.
In the first place , there is 110 certainty that
It cun bo pulled off cither at Couoy Island or
Hoby , should a satisfactory purse bo offered
lor It by either the Coney Island or Colum
bian Athlotio club. Both of thcso clubs can
pull off minor mutches a-plontv , but an Inter
national match Is a fur different thing.
Thcro Is no doubt that the Crescent City
club of Now Orleans could bring it to u
legitimate conclusion , but I doubt if its
managers rnro to take the financial risk that
a match of such magnitude would involve.
Corbott has made a good deal of money
ilnco ho acquired the championship , but ho
has added very llttlo to hla llstlo fame or
popularity. It has been so apparent that ho
was "out for the ilust" and nothing else that
the sporting world , whoso Ideal hero Is a Do
Mauprat sort of a duck , regards him as a
mere money-grabbing miser. Ho has no
following llko Yankee Sullivan , Tom Hyer ,
John Morr'ssoy ' , John C. Hccnan or Joe
Coburu iwsscssed. ns n matter of fact
John L. Sullivan , defeated and with nil
bit faults , has more gcnuino friends than ho.
Corbett cannot afford to toss Mitchcl 1 aside
contemptuously. Ho must flght him , if a
i fight with him is In the wood , or retire from
the ring and the suigo with the money ho
has already accumulated. Ho has very llt
tlo personal popularity or magnetism , and
unless ho can demonstrate that ho Is the
best man In the ring today the publlo will
'
have 'very llttlo to do with him.
Ills talk of preferring Peter Jackson
to any other uian In the world ls the
veriest nonsense. If Corbett'i manager know
anything about ring affairs or spurting mat
ter * , ho would scout a glance that a match
between Corbott aud Mitchell was the thing
ftbave all thlnpi for the American champion ,
If be can't whip Mitchell , what chaucu will
ho have with Jacksont I bcllovo that , strong
and as well as ho was when ho faced Sulli
van , ho can defeat cllhor of thcso men , but
in so thinking I only agrco with about half
the snorting world. There nro ulcnty of good
judges of pugilism who think that Mitchell
has an even chance of defeating Jim , whllo a
largo majority of Ihoso people think Jack-
son's chances agnlnit him worth backing at
Mo4. In short , Corbett is too much llko
Jack Carter , the Uincushlro hero of Tom
Crlbb and Dan Donncll'a day. Ho talks too
much nonsense to the press. If ho and
Charley Mitchell over meet In a ring ns prin
cipals 1 shall bo agreeably disappointed.
Although Fitzslmmons has gone to Europe
for the summer n contest between him and
genial .Too Choynski is a very likely quan
tity. The Callfornian has already put Ills'
fist to an agreement with the Coney Island
club to meet the Antipodean monstrosity for
a purse of $15,000 , nnd all that Is now neces
sary to mnko the go a certainty is the con
sent of the lanky Hobcrt. "Parson" D.ivlcs ,
Joe's excellent manager , mot Judge Nowtoii
In the pleasant ofllce of the seaside club on
Saturday last , nnd after mi interesting nnd
lengthy argument ho signed ns ubovo on behalf -
half of Choynskl. According to the articles
the flght is to bo at catch weights , the con
test to take place on n dale to bo agreed
upon by the principals. Fitzslmmons has
been notified nnd an answer is expected before -
fore the lapse of many days.
On the evening of the day the match was
made the Parson wrote mo as follows :
AMEIIICAX TiinATitiCAi , EXCHANGE , N. Y. ,
Aug. 2-J. Friend Sandy : I hud nn offer
today from the Coney lolnnd club of $15,000
for Joe Choynskl to light Bob Fitzslmmons ,
nnd , ns you already probably know , I ac
cepted on Joo's behalf. Fltz has not been
heard from as yet , but If the purse docs not
suit him I will ngrco to wager 5,000 on the
sldo with him that Joe defeats him. Is It n
good thing ? '
I inclose you clipping from the Now
Vork World nbout Central Park
Jack. Ho Is to bo sold , nnd If I
can buy htm will do so ; If I am outbid I will
mnko some ono pay n fancy price for Jack ,
anyway. I have arranged for care and pas
ture for him until I go on the road. Ho will
bo for Eva's use In unulu Tom. I start with
Jackson & Co. about September 2. Joe
Choynskl goes with us. Jackson will return
about August 12 from the West Indies. Wo
will play Omaha nbout March. Kindly send
mo THE BEK to Chicago. I will bo thcro Fri
day next. How did you and "Gentleman
Jack" get along on his return trip ? Hoping
all Is well with you , I am yours truly ,
' CiiAiti.ns E. DAVIES ,
Court IIouso Alloy , Chicago.
For the benefit of my readers I will say
that the Jack referred to In the above has
been the children's friend at Central Park
for over twenty-one years , but has been con
demned by the park commissioners to bo
sold at auction. The World of the 34th said :
"The faithful nnimnl , who never shirked a
duty in twenty-one years service for the
Park department , held a regular lovco yes
terday , The children crowded around his
paddock , next the elephant house , and fed
him sugar and stroked his big soft nose , and
pulled his line long cars affectionately.
They cried , some of them , and their parents
waxed indignant and demanded of the near
est keeper why Jack was to bo sent out into
the world to bo kicked and clubcd and half
starved , perhaps. "
The llttlo ones of New York can rest
assured If poor old Jack falls into the
Parson's hands ho will receive as good treat
ment as has over been his lot before.
As to whether the contemplated match
between Joe and Bob is a good thing or not ,
olll'vo got to say Is for the Parson's sakeand
Joo's , too , for that matter , that I hope so.

THREE DAYS WITH" THE GALLOPERS.
The Fourth of July Slcnnllzea Omaha'a In
augural Running Meet ,
The stalls at the fair grounds driving park
nro filled with the highstrung thorough
breds and the three days running meet
ing this week , commencing on the
Fourth , must certainly prove nn overwhelm
ing success. Manager Tuthill returned
' fromSt. : Louis and Kansas City'last evening ,
bud-reports that ho will bo followed today
nnd tomorrow by lour carloads of peed
Horses from the tracks of thcso two cities.
The field already on hand is sufficiently largo
to guarantee three days of excellent sport ,
but with the additional .reinforcements that
will arrive In the next two days , makes the
prospects for some grand sport bright in
deed.
This is as It should bo , for Omaha Is illy
rovidcdwlth summer amusements , nnd it
is pleasing to note that she intends to see
, hat her Inaugural running meeting is
jrowned with success. The thoroughbreds
are having the call this year ull over the
country , nnd with her characteristic enter
prise Omaha intends to bo In the
push. Everything is In line shape at
, ho park. The Klnnoy brothers have gotten
, ho track in matchless condition , ana. de
voted much attention to the arrangements
for the accommodation of the public. The
Fort Omaha Second Infantry band has been
engaged for the week , and will intorspcrso
each day's program with its inspiriting and
delightful airs. The police regulations will
bo excellent , and Manager Tuthill has paid
much attention to small details , which al
ways go a long way in assuring the comfort
and pleasure of the spectators.
Apropos of the coming meeting is a short
essay on the vcrnnculnr of the paddock , the
quarter stretch , betting sheds and stables.
It is a nlco thing when in Paris to know how
to speak French , and equally as nlco when
in Constantinople or among the habitues of
the tracx to know how to talk "turkey. "
Philology is a beautiful study nnd thcro is
no broader field In wliich to oxorclso than
that furnished by a day with the pallouers.
The finlsUng touches of the trainer's work
which n horse receives before starting in a
stake race nro called the "grand prep , " or
the "tuning up. " If ho appears in the race
looking shrunken or drawn ho is said to bo
too line , " or If ho looks fut ho Is called
"high" or "big. " If ho suits the popular
Idea ho is said to bo "lit. " A horse docs his
"trial" in the early morning generally , nnd
such work Is supposed to bo private nnd for
the information of owner nnd trainer. The
"tout" is the person who slips in to watch
the trials und "tips" the same to bolting men
when the race comes off. The owner "pulls
off the race" If ho wins with his horso. The
"tip" Is private Information given to n bet
ter by a person In n position to Know the
capacities of the horses in a race , and it gen
erally "goes wrong , "
When a "straight tip" "spread eagles" the
"field" the hoi-bo selected by the knowing
ones runs away in front and is never caught
by the other Uorso ) In the ruco , If the
horse fights out a race in gnmo fashion ho is
a "stayer , " but if ho runs well part of the
way nnd then falls back ho "stops" or "curls
up. " A "maiden" is a horse of either sex
that has never won a race , and a "selling
plater" is an naimal entered In n race to bo
sold at n stated price if ho wins.Vhc n u
horse is running a series of good races hu is
"In form" and If bad ho Is "short of work"
or "stalo. " A Jockey "gets off well" when
ho takes the lead with his horse atr tfio start ,
or ha is "left at the ] > ost" when the flag fulls
and the other horses run away from him.
A jockey employs n curious tongue to toll
how ho did or did not win. In his peculiar
way ho would tell you that ho had the
mount on a duffer who was a long shot In
the betting und n bad actor nt the uost.
The event was a handicap , aud ho was In nt
the top weight. When the flag fell ho got
going in his stride , while the ether kids
were bleuplng , and , stabbing the stcol Into
his mount , ho shot to the front. Uudor a
drlvo ho made all the running. In the
stretch so nnd so challenged him. His
mount swerved , but ho pulled his bat and
went at him. Ho rode all over his horse and
took the last link out of him , but ho shut up
like a jack-ltnifo at the drawgato nnd was
collared in n rattling finish aud boat a short
head , though ho got iho place with good
money against him.
The Jockey tolls the story In half the words
which a layman would use In explaining how
a race was won , and tells it much better if
you know his phrasing. Just so turf slung
Is used In all sorts of talk around the stable.
Whoa n horse Is completely oxhauntoa at the
end or "finish" of a race , he is "ull out. " If
ho Is not exhausted , ho "had something loft
In him. " Ho la a "quitter" If ho lacks
courage. When ho finishes poorly ho "goes
all to pieces , " nnd ho is "dead boat" when
ho cornea in behind puftlnt ? and blowing.
When he wlni "running away" or "with
hla mouth open" or "in hand" a horse wins
easily with his jockey pulling him back to
the other homes. A."socpor" ! la an animal
of merit that is sprung upon the publlo un
expectedly and who wins at long odds.
When a racer la ailing from nay cause bo
"BOOS amiss" or "goes off" or "gocn wrong. "
Ho Is n "dlckoy" when his legs are In danger
of giving way from the strain of hard work.
The "stretch" is the last quarter of the
track ; that part which loads straight to the
wire or finish. The "order In the stretch" is
the order of the horses in the race at that
particular part of the track. "Out for the
dust" and "out for the stuff" are synony
mous. "On velvet" Is the happy condition of
a man who is ahead on his waiters for the
dny or season , An "outsider" is'a horse not
expected to win , nnd an "outsider" la gener
ally supposed to bo "outclassed , " Ho gives
the "talent" or betting people the "dump"
when ho wins or defeats the favorlto or first
choice horso. "Sprinters' are horses that
race only nt short distances , nnd a "distance
of ground" means at n mlle or over. "Derby
distance" is n milo aud a half.

Nnuou , Nob. , Juno 28. To the Sporting
Editor of TUB Unn : Thcro Is a splendid
crop of prnlrlo cfilcltcns growing up nowand
unless something unforeseen occurs from now
on wo will have cxccL'tloual "sport this fall.
The country was full of old birds this spring ,
inoro than there has boon for several years ,
and everything has boon favorable to nest
ing. No late pralrlo flrcs , no heavy rain or
hall storms to break up the nests or kill the
young chicks which are now Just commenc-
Inc to run uround lively in the grass. Quail
also wintered well and. from all along the
brush and timber on the river bottom and in
every bunch of brush and timber claim on
the upland tho'Tileasant call of bob
white to his mate is heard. The little brown
beauties arc getting very plentiful here , nnd
last fall the shooting was , ns flood on thism.
as I over had In Iowa and It will bo as good ,
It not better , this fall. Present prospects
nro therefore hood for many a pleasant day
afield with dog nnd gun. Como up when
the season is rlpo and I will wlpo your oyo.
"Can't ' do It , " did you say t
Well , I'll show you If you will glvo tno a
chalice.
Como out from among the brick walls nnd
close nir of the city , nnd with mo follow the
dogs for n few da'ys and the sporting col
umns of Tin : BEG will contain oven inoro
ginger , If that Is posslblc.thnn Is their wont.
Oh , I can sco thorn now in my mind's eye ,
as they go circling and quartering the
ground. Along the hillside nt n breakneck
gallop that they novcr seem weary of , down
Into the draw they go. Look ut that 1 Yes ,
old Sport's got them.
Well , who would have thought n man of
Sandy Griswold's ago would pllo out of a
wagon like that for anything but a runaway.
But the blood of n man who has over learned
to love the sport of the field novcr grows
cold , oh , Sandy ?
In the entire crowd the dog alone seems to
bo free from excitement. Ho might as well
bo stone for any uiovo ho makes. Now wo
are up behind him. Slowly ho draws up to
the birds , his muscles become rigid , his nose
twitches nervously , ns ho snuffs the clear
monilntr air. These delicate nerves have
told him beyond a question that the birds
are In front of him , hiding in the grass.
Up goes-one , but let it go , that's the old
hen. Suddenly the air is filled with birds ,
nnd bang ! bang ! bang ! bang I I told you I
would wipe your eyol
Well , wouldn't a scone like that put new
lifo into any man who has learned to look
for it in. the woods and fields ? The scene
can bo repeated again and again , except pos
sibly I couldn't wlpo your cyo every time.
I will lot you know when the proper time
comes and then you can glvo the high five
game at Bundle's a rest. - C. J. B.

good ride , good feed and a pleasant outing.
Residents of Blair no doubt Imagined that
the cyclists had taken complete and quiet
possession of their beautiful llttlo city last
Sunday , ns the parks , hotels and streets
were filled with wheelmen and wheels. As
If by agreement surrounding cities and
towns which sport blcvcle clubs sent In
their representatives. The Tourist Wheel
men of Omaha had their regular run called
for Blair , the Herman Wheel club came down
to spend the day with the Tourists , the
Blair club hud invited the Craig club down ,
and lone riders from Ereinont , Logan and
Missouri Valley dropped in before the dny
was spout. The wheelmen mingled together
and spent the day among the trees In quiet ,
social Intercourse. The Kcoley got up a
splendid dinner , which was enjoyed by qulto
a number. Altogether it was ono of the
most enjoyed of the many pleasant runs
taken by the Tourists and no doubt equally
so by the other clubs.
The fastest quarter mlle over made by a
bicycle on the Council Bluffs driving park
track was the ono which the worthy onlclal
of ono of the Omaha cycle clubs accom
plished one evening last week. The young
man ( wo will no give him away ) , by the
way , is a prominent factor inlocal cycling
circles and has nn idea that ho might
blossom Into a "phcnom" In the way of
"flyers" with a llttlo training. Ho has
been in the habit of hieing himself in a
quiet manner to the track and indulging in
a little spurt each ovenluir , clad In the airy
habiliments customary to the racing cracks.
All had gone well ; no ono know that ho
aspired to race until the episode of the
other evening. On this particular occasion
ho proceeded , as had been his wont , to the
track and proceeded to dlsrobo und don his
"racing duds , " then out upon the smooth
surface of the trackiho sailed. The track is
a milo around nnd about half a milo had
been ridden , when suddenly , with a hoarse
roar , a cloud of dust nnd flaming eyes there
appeared upon the sccno a big black
bovlno of the gentleman persua
sion , who forthwith and with
out presenting his compliments started in to
oaco the aspiring and perspiring cyclist.
The pace was hot and uncomfortable , for
the reason that the angry bovine preferred
to stay in the rear. On came the bull ,
faster spun the pedals , up the quarter
stretch they came , chased nnd chaser.
Under the wire * tuey sailed , the wheel a
good 100 yards in-the lead ; unmindful of the
uproarious applause that came from the
tiers of empty benches , they dushpd through
the gates and out upon the street , but to
draw a veil , over.tho. scone , It was painful
in the extreme ; the bull was corralcd and
the young man borrowed a handkerchief to
vrap around his > perspiring form us ho ro-
urncd for.his street clothes. No ono caught
ho tlmo , but the benches are tolling each
ithcr yet that it was the greatest race that
, hey had over witnessed. There Is a whlto
treak among-tho young man's dark locks.

Cincinnati won its bl-montluy game day

Darby O'Brien , who began his career at
St. Joe , died at his homo In Peoria last
week. Darby was captain of the Brooklyns

answers to the lady's questions , until finally
she was asked if she could count.
"Oh , yes , I can count , " she replied.
"Well , won't you lot mo hear you ? "
"One , two , three , four , five six , seven ,
