As you have well said , the public nro get ting sick and completely surfeited with the vagaries of the theatrical f 10,000-purso , pugll- UU and their managers. Jack McAullito , although a reckless devil-may-care chap , Is thoroughly honest , When asked why ho would not tackle a certain pugilist ho frankly dolarcd that he did not llko his looks , and that ho wai a bioger rann at the wolchtthan ho was , and declined to risk hl& champion ship by contending with him. Jack was not at all backward in expressing his opinion of } "Jamos Jay. " Dick. Tom and Harry.or Jack , Jem , " BUI and Charho were good enough names for the old-timers. How would it look In print Charles W. Mitchell and Jimmy Corbottt or Daniel P. Crcodon and Sandy Oroggalns. A sporting writer , In giving a ketch of a wealthy horao-racing , foxhunting ing squire , who inherited an estate of UO.OOO acres , said ho was always called Jack. John , Thomas or James , ho said , suggested prigs , but Jack , Tom end Jem were generally bluff , hearty , Jolly good fellows 1 "Champion James Jay Coroott" Is enough to make a horse laugh. Tom Ilyor vrni never called Thomas P. Hyer. 1 It might bo urged that the reason the Jacks arb giving way to the John A , B , Cs is be cause the latter are mostly second crop Irish men , who wore born hero , and our repub lican institutions only call our presidents and statesmen and other truly great men Jim , Jack and Tom. For Instance , the news papers call the emperor of Germany "Kaisor Bill. " President Buchanan was called "Dismal Jimmy. " But our virtuous model of propriety and economy must bo styled Champion "James Jny C. " Even poor old , played out , fat Jack Sullivan was disgusted wilh the treatment his quandom antagonist and enemy. Charllo Mitchell , was getting , and manfully took him by the hand. Sully expressed his disgutt with the attempts of his enemies to prevent him from landing be cause ho was alleged to bo an alien and a convictl" Thrnats were made to the New York hotel landlord that if Mitchell was not ejected the house would be blown up with dynamite 1 And James Jay and his manager Insisted on a deposit of $10,000 , according to Sullivan , to gain time and boom his show , noverdrcaming that theirs would bo promptly covered. Should Corbott and Mitchell meet , which suems doubtful , that stale , trashy play about Ctiarles Twitcholl will not bo tolerated in a "penny gaff. " When Mitchell was asked why ho did not retaliate by going on the stage and introduce the upstart James Jay , Charllo replied ho preferred to Bottle their dlllereneeB In u manly way in the ring. When Edward Smith , alias "Denver Ed , " alias Pittsburg Ted , alias Brumugem Ned , alias Smithersalias tlthe plucky American ( ? ) middleweight , " overthrew the herculean and invincible Goddard , ho hud Ju3t as much right to claim the championship of the world as James Jav. and was just as "much justilicd in booming his show and hoisting his cold wave theatrical contract Hag by assorting that ho vras not lighting beaten inen , etc. James Jay aidTho nigger wants uono of my game. " Beer-guzzling Neddy said ho had none the worstof It with Black Peter. James Jay said his reason for taking Mitchell instead of lighting out his four hours' draw with Peter was be'causo Mitchell was an undefeated man and champion of England ( In a horn ) . Smith , on the other hand , said ho fought Mitchell forty rounds to a draw in 187U , end Charley was "bloody glad to have it end that way 1" T. K. C. Young Corbott did not pan out the world beater ho was heralded to bo by old Corbott , the champion. Ho was game as a pebble , however , and it required all the tactics of the Smith code of ilsticufTs to finally encom pass his downfall. Paddy is certainly an apt pupil of his brother , Denver Ed , and tie fnught the champion's protego exactly on the lines followed by his big brother in his mauling , clinching and wrestling match with the burly Barrier champion. For ouo I was pleased to hoar of his victory , as iniwh as I deprecate his mode of lighting. It put still another kluk in the champion's claim to greatucsi. If Young Corbett foil so far short ot Jay ' and isn't it Jay's predictions hopes , why plausible that the champion himself will fail to come up to thu notch ho has specified for himself. He hasn't whipped Charlie Mitchell yet , only with his mouth , and is no nearer a victory over the Midnight Mars than ho was t'ireo ' years ago. There baa been so many surprises In the game during tiio'past year that it is hardly reasonable to look for many more , still my fondest hope la that there yet remains a supreme one , say Bomowhero along about the middle of next December. This hope , however , must not bo accepted as a token that I believe the big mill will take place then , for I do not. As the matter stands now Corbott swears b.y Coney Island , while Mitchell is irretrievably bound to Uoby , Jim Hall will return to this country in September , and as a precursor has scut over a challenge to Deb Fltzsimmons. He ays hu will fight him under the same condl tlons that governed tholr light In Now Orleans last March , but If Boh iloosn't want any more of that ho can stipulate just ox ectly wt.at ho does want. Hall , though docs not offer to wager anything on tlu ido a WO.OOO or $ T > 0 , < XX ) purse will probablj bo satisfactory to him. It soouu that tl.o prize lighter does not In tend to tumble till some ono pushes u govern went building over on him , Hall and Fit-/ Immons can never hope to command mucl of a purse against each other In this country again. They were both under trraro sus plclon before they mot In the Crescent Clty'i arena five months ago , and are deep in tin shade .vet. Lots and lots of people will swcai that that swinging outcurva which Fit swung round and got in over Jem's guard litho the fatal fourth round wasn't ' on the level And while there Is no lack of ground for sus plclon , for ono I believe tiie Jluht wu straight. Why Hall should doubt Bob'i wanting any moro of the conditions that gov urned tills event , in the fuco of thu results Bounds oxCL'odingly ludicrous. The spccklo < kangaroo should grow fat on just sucii snap ; as Jhat ono apparently was , and , mark in ; words , ho and Jem will commence dlckorln ] Immediately for another moating us soon a Iho latter comes back over the drink. This Is the way in which Jay Jay gets it ii the nock from Kutrene Field of the Chlcagi Itcconl : "Mr. Corbett belongs to a llmltot a fortunately limited class of people win ro too moan to get drunk. This , however U not the limit to hU meanness ; olsowlso hi U an low and as brutal as the verles thumper that loafs about the street , corner , nd the dramshops.

Tomorrow nlifht Champion George DIxon and Eddie Picrco will outer into their little fistic argument before the Coney Island club , and the prospects nro good for a rattling fight. An has always been the case , though , In Iho little Hallgonlnn's affairs , the man that Iho wlso ones had selected to clip his wings , In the last days of tils training , meets with some sort of a back set anil Plcrco Is no exception to the rule. For the past several days ho has been com plaining of blistered feat and has not been able to Indulge In his quantum of daily exercise. Olhenviso ho IB perfect as a rose , rcstlvo as a war-horso and confident that ho will amply entertain the spectators and Mr. Dixon ns well , The probabilities are that Eddlo will not have time to think of his feverish "pedal extremities tomorrow night , and if ho has complaints to make of any porMohof his anatomy they will moro than likely bo confined to his Jaw and neck. There are those , however , and a good many of them , who actually expect to see the llttlo Gowntius lad returned a victor. On the night of the 14th big Dan Crecdon , the Adelaide representative , and the monk- llko Alex Groggaius will collide within ItobyX'roofless panthqnarjm , and if any ono thinks ( hero won't bo a light they don't Know the men. that's all. There will bo no Buffalo' Costcllo pedestrian match about this go , as Crcedon is of a different breed of pues. Ho is u typical Australian , and fights from the sound of the gt > ng until the roferco calls "out" for ono or the other contestant. That Grcggams can fight , too. when ho has to. is a well known fact , and if ho gets the kibosh put on hlhi It will only bo after a bitter - tor and gamoy-strugglo.

What will in all probability provo the greatest race moot over held in Nebraska , if not in the west , will bo that of the Nebraska State Association of Trotting and Pacing Horse Breeders at the fair grounds , com mencing Tuesday next , the 8th , and con tinuing through thollth. Nearly 300 horses have boon named to start for the money , and as all the events are purse races , a vast amount of exciting sport can confidently bo expected. There will not bo a dull moment in the four days card , and every heat will bo a horse race. President Kcstersou and Secretary Briggs report everything in most promising shape and are predicting the best and largest meeting over given under the auspices of " this association. Thoro' will bo reduced rates on all the railroads , and every ono within a day's travel who loves a good , honest race should not fall to improve this splendid opportunity. The K'innoy Brothers , who have charge of the driving park , have put in many extra good licks during the past three weeks and now have the grounds in perfect order. The famous half mile track looks like a newly swept ilonr , and by proper manipulation has been made even faster than ever before. The track , naturally , is ono of the best half miles in the world ; the consistency of the soil Is just right for high speed and with no draw back In the way of bad weather some of the beat races over witnessed in this vicinity are certain to como oft . Nebraska breeders and trotting horse men are in high feather just now ever recent showings of Nebraska bred horses. The state is right In the van , and a rich harvest is in prospect for the nervy and Intelligent breeders who have nursed and fostered the industry hero. They are justifiably proud of their work and will strive might and main to add new luster to the state's fame in this line , and to reap now laurels for themselves in the great meeting which opens Tuesday next. "As the meeting will bo of immense benefit to the city of Omaha it is to bo hoped her citizens , principally her business men and stock raisers , will leave no stone unturned to further the interests of the association and to hiako this the most successful and at- tractlvo'ineoting tl.o state has over known.

A pipe story comes from Louisville that Bill Barnio has started south with S10,000 in "reaay cash" to buy up good talent. The wire docs not say whether he is carrying it in a trunk or traveling with a valise and body guard. Another sin of omission has been made , for the gentle reaucr is not in formed whether Bill's ' $10,000 is in gold , sil ver or small bills. Perhaps the periods In that ? 10,000 were switched in transmission and the sum is $100.00.

Dr. W. II. Hichardson , a prominent medic , declares in a recent article for the Asclo- piad : "Cycling is indeed of great use to women. It secures a quick and sure cultiva tion of the senses , it develops a good and healthy respiration , it causes the lungs to inhalo'puro air , quickens the circulation and brings to the mind a free and wholesome change of scene , which Is a tonic of tonics to the depression incident to sedentary monotony. " The physician thinks , however , that the la ly cyclist , unless she is extraor dinarily strong aud healthy , should never ride moro than twenty-live or thirty miles per diem , always in the morning and evening - ing and never during the hot hours of the day. Ho prescribes a good shower or sponge bath of topuJ water immediately after a long ride , followed by a rest of an hour or so. . The present "hard times" has Drought the " " with his ' - off gay and festive "road hog" hisgit do yearth" expression out in great numbers of lato. A cyclist spinning along the coun try roads frequently meets them now-a- aays , young and old , oftentimes in the shape of a patriarch who owns his township , moro often embodied in the form of some young "hired man" with his "girl" ( probably a dairy maid from the neighboring milk fac tory ) and who doesn't own the clothes he does his "courtin * in , " very seldom , some "city chap'1 taking a drive into the country at W per drive , all of whom imagine they own.tho country roads that stretch away from cast to west and north to south , and that the poor cyclist who takes up about one-twentieth part as much room as the gentleman with the porcine proclivities , has no place upon the road , whatever. There are many samples of tiio "road hog" to whom the great American tramp would lift his battered tile and with a most gracious sentiment tender him the emblem of "un- uttorablo-and stupendous gall , " Such people either do not have the faculty of thinking or else do not cat o to trouble their mind to remember - member that itonly requires a moment's time and' a foot or so of spa'io to allow a cyclist to pass them on the ronu , They also forgot , or else da > not know , that they are breaking the lawtbjr not allowing ono vehicle to puss another om the public hjghway , the same being punlsu'ablu by a line of not less than & for each dffenso. The courts all over this benighted country have declared time and again that the bicycle is a vehicle and 'should bo accorded .all the privileges given vehicles. It is a poor excuse of a wheelman who will not dismount when approaching a team on the hlghTOy and hu finds that his , wheel is frlRhtcniiiK the team into tits.
