NotiTit I'IATTB , Aug. 2. To the Sporting
Editor of TUB BKB :
ScornlnR all treacherous feud find deadly
Rtrlfo , . , , ,
The eiurk ntllotto or the murderous knlfp ,
Hotistml a ncloncn sprung from , manly pri'l'Si
MnUt-d with true counio , and to health allltu-
A tiohlo pastliim , void of nil iinttonco
The line old HiiKllsh "ft of self dofenso.
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 ,

Look out for a uartl from Corbott now.
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.
Prof , Mlko Donovan bai the sporting
editor's acknowledgements fora copy of his
recent work , "Tho Science of Boxing , " a
handsomely bound volume of seventy-eight
pages. To say that It thoroughly covers the
grounds embodied in the title is but mild
praise , as it Is undoubtedly the best work
of the kind extant. Tno line steel plates of
men In action , showing nil the maneuvers ,
the blows , guards , ducks and feints of the
game are admirably gotten up , while the
descriptions of the same are terse , lutelll-
Kcntand to the point In every instance.
Nothinc known to the science has been
omitted and it is a volume that must take
high rank in the world's athletic literature.
As to the author himself , ho is too well
known , both as an old-time cxK > ncnt of the
ring and a gentleman , for extended mention

rronpeots Good for the Finest Trottmc
hosBlon Kvor Held In the West.
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

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

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.
Of these who have made two payments

and S K , all of whom have made records
below 220 ; slnco the entries closed for this
meeting in this class , make an attrac
tion In themselves worth miles of travel to
witness.
For the 2:29 : class , trotting , thirteen
horses have made second payment , am :
among them is the great Gonzales Mc
Gregor , ono of the phenomcnals of the ago.
In thu yearling pace there will bo thrco
youucHtors who can show a ! ! : ! H ) gait , one
there will bo a big surprlso In this event for
all horsemen.

in the 2:22 puce- and many distingulahei
horsemen will be here from Chicago , Mimto
upolis , St. Paul and other western cities to
BOO Shadoland Onward's greatest colt It
competition with the host of all the western
talent.
Besides these rare attractions the Con
queror , with a record of 2:17 : , will start litho
the 2:24 : class , and great things are expectei
of him. He Is the -fastest 3voar > old of the
year , and horsemen all ever the country are
hooping their eye on him ,
Was there ever a move brilliant galaxy o
fiyors booked for a mooting in this neck o
woods , or was there' ever a meeting tha
promised such a series of rare races I There
cnn bo but ouo an v/er , and that in the nega
tlvo.
Among the famous rolnsmon who will bo

Munson , Falloy , Atkinson , Tullard , Leach
Ware and scores of others , all with a goot

tored at the park , and everything is in line
shape for Starter Swlgort's command to

This is duu to tie | fact that a number o

A pipe story comes from Louisville that
Bill Barnio has started south with S10,000 in
"reaay cash" to buy up good talent. The

in a trunk or traveling with a valise and

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. If Willie .Bill is
really going around with $10,000 spot cash in
his clothes , there will be news of n kidnap
ing soon and the blue-eyed boy will bo lucky
if ho is not fed to the alligators. A man is

The St. Louts Refrigerator arid Wooden
Gutter company has succeeded in building a
bicycle , complete , of the lightest metal
known , aluminum. The frame is cast in ono
piece aud bored similar to the barrels of a *
shot gun. The front forks , head tube and
fork crown are also cast In one piece. The
wheel for road use will weigh cloven to
twelve pounds , for racing about nine to ton
pounds. The wheel will bo put ou the mar
ket at $125. No nickeling will bo used ex
cept on the cranks , crank hanger and
sprocket , the frame complete being finished
in the natural color of the metal , which is a
bright silvery sheen. Scientific tests demonstrate - ;
strato that aluminum is three times lighter
than steel , throe and one-half times stronger
and will not rust , corrode or tarnish. Why
shouldn't this bo the bicycle of next season }

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. In
many cases it is tiio drivers own fault that
his team is frightened. Wheelmen Imvo no
use for "road hog * , " and "road hogs" have
no use for wheelmen , and as oftentimes Imp-
pens there is a cdUUlon , Some of those ' 'em
perors of the rojuil ) ought to be made an ox-
amploof as a wanning to the rest of their Ilk.

not be Ural-class in uvcry particular ,

depend with certainty upon receiving every
