It will doubtless prove ono of the greatest middleweight bat tles ever fought In the country. Both men are champion candid u tea and there ts every Jus tification for the belief that they will stack up nn extra good fight. Who will win is n question that only the most presumptuous will attempt to answer. I know both men and esteem them highly , not only ns formid ably oximncnU of the game , hut ns men of courteous and gentlemanly demeanor. There is nothing of thu rowdy , the tojgh or pugl llstlc bravado about either , and my only wish In connection with the contest is that U will go off satisfactorily nnd that the best man will win , which Isn't always the case by nny means. A good crowd will go over front this city this evening to see the battle. According to Creodon's record , ns given out by the Columbian Athletic club , ho has mot and defeated thirteen men , all In short order , with the ono exception of n twontj three round draw with "Buffalo" Costollo. Ho ban defeated several good nun that his record does not credit him with. Ho hud not the data nt hand und could not remember all bin victories when ho was asked for them. Ho bus boon lighting six yo.ir * and has met all comers at his weight and has never lowered his colors. "Buffalo" Costello , who has mot Greggalns in two extended draws , is assisting in Creedon's training ana is very confident ho is behind the winner , ills Judgment should curry a deal of weight , ns ho has battled both men twice and should bo competent to Judge their merits. Croodon , slncn be has been lighting , has met all styles of boxois , and says ho would rather fight clover , shifty man that is nut so much of a puncher than he would u bard-hitting slug ger. Some of the men that ho has defeated in Australia were considered on the top of the heap regarding cleverness , but still ho Jnnded them and thinks he cnn do the same with Greggaitis. Ho ijdown to 180 pounds und will do but light work today nnd tomor row. He looks fit und well , so they say , and is , of 000130 , very confident of winning. GrcguatnB has not had Crocdon's ring ox- porlenc'e , but whllo his record boasts of but throe victories and two draws ho is , without doubt , the cleverest native born middle weight In the business. The winner of this contest indisputodly stands next to Fitz- sltnmons and tlmo may prove him to bo "Lanky Bob's muster , but I sor'ously ' doubt it. Kit7. has agreed to meet tlio M inner In December for a $10,000 purse nnd the title , and bo this Dan or Alex , either will give him a hot ruco to land the long end of tbo purse. DatfCrcoiion was born In Adelaide , Aus tralia. Ho is an imposing looking man and has had a vigorous ring career , nil in the au- tipodus. In his wigwam dangles the scalps of Dick Rlloy , Tom Flunnigun , Jim Younger , Billy Campbell , Owen D.ily , Mick Dun , Tut Ryan , Jim Watts , DickNaughton , "Star light" and Charley Dunn. All of those- men he whipped in Jig tlmo excepting Hlley and Flannlgaii who stayed for ten and lit teen rounds respectively. Crucdon also fought a draw with Martin Costello and an eight roundjdraw with Jim Hall. Alex Grcggains , who has a priestly look about him , was uorn in San Francisco.whero ho held both the amateur nuddlo and lioavy- woicht championships. He has had but few professional encounters , defeating Charley Turner , thu Stockton colored man , in four rounds ; Billy McCarthy in twenty-seven ; George La Blauuho in eleven , and two long- drawn out draws with Buffalo Costollo. Of nil the silly twaddle that is being In dulged Iu Just now anent the affairs of ono Jay Joy Corbott and ono Charles Mitchell , that of Macon McCormick In the Now York Advertiser is the silliest. Mao is an old friend of mine , and I like him immensely. Ho la n versatile- follow , writes most enter tainingly , and has been the mentor of moro sporting men nnd sporting writers than any man living. His fund of pugilistic lore is ab solutely without limit , aud 1 well remember the day when his word wont farther than that of any ono authority on either aldo of tlio Atlantic. For ull this ho is justly ad mired and by no ouo more so than your hum ble servant. Still , I cannot but enter a mild roar when ho allows such stuff as has emanated from his pen recently to occupy the space ho could till so advantageously und so instructively. "Jim Cordott , " says this seer , "has not played his cards as well as ho should Imvo done or ho would not now bo in n position to bo badgered by Cbarloy Mitchell nnd a lot of newspaper 'roasters,1 most of whom were , , Snlliviui'a worshipers , nnd hold him in mor tal hatred for having dethroned their Idol. " Now , there is it wormy old walnut that has boon eraoked nnd chewed over by tlio crowd who always want to bo with the champion until it is absolutely nauseating. I do not bollevo there Is a newspaper man in the country today who bus any 111 feeling toward Jim Corbutt because ho thoroughly polished off poor old John L. , who should have boon licked , oven moro soundly thiiti ho was , for even presuming to attempt to niaku a light whun ho certainly know that It wasn't in him. There Isn't a hoavywolght in the country , und I rare not what his pounds may bo , that couldn't have knocked Sullivan out that September night. In oven shorter time than it look tne California marvel. McCormlck well knows , us does arery other Intelligent man , why Jim Corbott has pleased the few and disgusted the multitude. And then , In speaking of n rumored exhibitory - hibitory expedition Mr. Mitchell bus In con templation for this country.Mncon continues : "Mitchell , however , is making a mistake il bo thinks he can make money in this coun try without 11 rat lighting Corbott or nt least making a match to do no. Sullivan set the fashion that tlio man holding tlio tltlo ol "Champion of America" is entitled to a llt tlo special consideration iu his own country , nnd Mitchell , though not tlio champion ol England , made Sullivan comu to his terms when ho caught him in London , Corbett Is .Sullivan's legitimate successor nud ho is en titled to all the rights nnd privileges he enJoyed - Joyed and exacted , Mr. MUehUI will Jlmi that out to his financial sorrow if ho does not rofogniiu it. There Is Just ono way , unii only onu way , for him to make himself a stai 'attraction of any show , and that is by say ing : -I believe that I can defeat Corbett and I intend to prove that I earnestly enter tain that opinion. I would prefer to light bofnro the Columbian Athletic club , not be cause its purse is thu largest offered , but a : Corbptt considers himself bound in honor l < abidp by Ills contract with the Coney Islam club I will uot ask him to braak his won and I will meet him there. ' If ho- did thi : and inudu his word good , win or loss , h < would ilnd that the. American public ad mires a bravo and manly man as much as i ! despises u trickster and a schemer. " bow wouldn't that Just simply cork yet for all tlmo to come , aud it 1s even huuilllat ing to bo compelled to answer such rot Jimmy Corbett U entitled to the earth , thi air and the sea , and ull that Iu them is , au cording to tlio discoverer of John L. Sulll van , simply because ho hammered tbo eli man to the tauds in twouty-ouo rounds a New Orleans a few months ago. It will b Just the cake for Mitchell to break his won with thu Columbian club , because Jlmm ; s feels "liluitolf bound in honor to abldo b. Ills alleged contract with ; bo Coney Islam crowd , aud that bo oughtn't to tlc the chain plon tobro.nk tils word. 11 Is nil right for Mitchell to do exactly wh.it It Is nil wronsr for Corbctt ts do. In ipig's tnllio. Mncon thinks It would crown Chnrlln with n bunch of laurel loaves a < i biff in n bushel basket to acknowledge himself n llnr , nnd save Cor- bolt's worthies * word. "Mltnholl , " McCor- mlck pees on , "docs not regard anything ho may have Mid bora ( Now York ) a * binding on him. Ho fools perfectly Justified In look ing for and getting the best of the match with Corbott , If It Is In his power to do so. " Mitchell docs not rcirnrd anything ho may have said In New York as blmlhg on him. But what did ho say , and'why should ho regard It , whatever It might tiaro boon , as binding , when the Now York pollen , with Inspector Byrnes at their bend , all but r < ui him Into the son when ho was In Now York endeavoring to make a match with the immaculate - maculate hero of the upright curls. Ho was threatened with arrest , aye , cvoii dyna- mlto , If ho attempted to make n mutch with Corbott ; ho was a blarstoil , bloody English man and could not bo accorded the sixmo rights and prerogatives that other prlzo- lighters onjoycd In righteous Gotham. And ynt McCormlck wants him to go back on the only contract ho his entered Into In connec tion with this ludicrous farce , and rush off to Uowanus ami defy Inspector Byrnes and his minions. Ho might as well Invlto Cor bott out In the woods somewhere , glvo him a bnso ball but and tell him to eave In bis cerebellum , then go on the road and star as tragedian or a Midway I'lalsanco freak. Mitchell must do all this , whllo Corbatt , who has Inuontrovnrltbly proven by his action with both I toby and Coney Island that his word Isn't worth a mill on a billion of dollars , is to Just sit still on his little pedestal and receive the worship of the crowd , who for n given tlmo happen to bo noxt. Again McCormlck informs a fat-headed worm that Charllo fools perfectly Justified in looking for and getting the best of the matcli with Corbott. if It is In his power to do so. It is dlftcult to realize that McCor mlck is capable of such egregious Idiocy , but ns It appears over his own signature , there is no other alternative. Ho wants Mitchell , I suppose , to see that Jlmmv gets the best of it ; wants him to Ignore his own rights and interests in the matter , nud throw all his energies into the blatant champion's favor. Eguu I but that is refreshing 1 B'lt in my mind this lust par.igraph.is the champion ladloful of slush from Mac's latest grist : "Corbott may not bo all that an Ideal llstlc hero should bo , but ho Is nn American , lie has won his tltlo fairly and squarely. His battles have been with the best men Amer ica has over produced , and none of them has ever bested him. . Blood Is thicker than water , and "though there are a few rene gades and Judasos among us , most of us are patriotic enough to dcslro to sea a son of our soil its champion , and wo will stand by him , too , against any assaults that may bo made on hit fistic fa mo by arrogant and luipudout strangers. " Patriotism in a prize fighter. Bahl That is a sentiment too tar fetched for discussion. Prlzo lighting is Just as unlawful in tills country as burglary , and why not , in our patriotic fronzv , why not swear by Hod Loary , Dutch Hoinrich , George Post , Louis Ludlutn or Miles Ogle. They ore cham pions , or have been , in their line , and as they tire all American born , why not worship them a little whllo , and give the bruiser and the prize tighter a rest. That is the one feeling that has been hammered into Cor- bolt's thick head , that ho is an American and a prize fighter. "You're a nice Ameri- kin , " ho bolohod at mo not long since , "a- stlckln' up for the nigger , instead of for me 1" Pete Donohuo of the Recorder has also swung round like a weathercock , and the spectacle ho makes of himself is an enjoy able ono. When Corbott was hobnobbing with the Roby club , some time prior to his belnir fired from the World's fair grounds , Donohuo could find no batter handle for the fellow than Jim , Jem or Jimmy. Ho was not then the gentlemanly and intelligent champion he has become since ho has re- sworn by Coney Island , but the lucky con queror of poor , old played-out Sullivan , or the gaily pug from the slope. That was the best P. Jay had in the shop for him. Now ho is slobbering in fulsome sycophancy all over the big bully. That was quite a surprise party they haa down in the big cottage by the sea last Mon day night , but it ought not to have bnon. There was no grounds for the false estimate the Now York scribes put on Novice Pierce , and they were evidently actuated by local pride alone. Pierce several years ago de feated a lot of four-round amateurs , but ho never snowed sufllciont "form" to Justify sending him up against tUo best little man of ancient or modern times , as Dixon clearly demonstrated in the three rounds it required him to almost Hay the life out of the gamoy Gothamito. By the way , it looks as if it would bo a long time before the Haligonian's master is produced. Certainly no ouo has any fears for hi Ji in his next two meets , the tlrst with Billy Plimmor for a six-round go the last of this mouth , and the second with Solly Smith in September. I predict , however - over , that both of these mills will last longer than that of Monday night last. Sandy Grlswold ii souring on the game and declares : "They are a bad and unrelia ble lot , these fighting vegetables , at the best , with about as much idea of honor and principle as a hog has of the art of decalco- inanla. Tttoir word Is as good as their bond , which is equivalent to the declaration that neither is worth a whoop In hades. " Now York Herald. No , I haven't soured on the pamo , but on the contrary am more fond of it than over. I'm curdled a bit , however , on account of the Incontinent unreliability of a puncher or two whoso word should bo as good as gold in Europe but Is worth no moro than Is intimated in the above pan- graph. It is war to the hilt from this on out between - twoon Hoby and Coney Island. The latter has taken the Dixon-Smith light aivuy from the former and has it booked for September 20 for $10,000.

The summer , racing mooting at Lyons , Nob. , will open up at Everett's Driving park next Wednesday and continue through Saturday , August 10 , 17 , 18 and 1'J. The meeting promises to bo a magnlflcout one , and a largo attendance Is already assured. The Everett kite track is probably without on exception the fastest and best track in uvory way In the world , and ono of the largest Holds of horses over assem bled there is already on hand restively awaiting the word to show what they can do. As an evidence of the extraor dinary attractiveness of this mooting it is but necessary to mention a few of the rare events on the program. Newsboy , the phenomenal green pacer of this year , will bo ono of the starters. News. boy started in his II rat raea at Omaha , Juno 15 , and in his third race as a pacer ho took a mark of 'Jiajf and came back the next heat InSiiatf. Hu was used until ho was U ycara old by a small boy to dulivor dally papers with at Fremont , Nob. He was afturirard purchased and started racing us a trai ler. He is now U years old.

Two Strike , the wonder of the west , will bo on hand. At Hawurdon thu big grey gelding , Two Strlku , In a third boat , went the last quarter of Ilia mlle in JSJ ) seconds , a 1&U gait , and al Sioux Falls , S. D. , he took a murk of 3:12 : . At Lyons ho ought to go a mllu in 2:05. : Hobble P , by Charles Curt cry. Is still an other who itarti at Lyons. This horsu holds the record for Nebraska bred atalllons anu is very fust , and AJarnlto , by Kaglo Bird , will bo amoiik' the big attractions. I asl year , ai a 3-year-old , ho won twelvuoutol thirteen racoj , uud has turned off his quarters tors in 'M seconds. Online , the greatest two-year pacer tin world ever know , is a Nebraska bred liorso and made hit marvelous record at Lyons Good Judge * expect to see him got down close to two minutes this week. Ontoniau another Incomparable Nebraska horsu. will bo among the starters. Ho U probablj Shadeland Onward's greatest colt , and ha : sot Iho racing world agog by hli wonderful bursts of speed. His best this year was it ho will surely greatly roduci tnUon Lyons' phenomenal track. W , A Paxton'i great Conqueror U also among th < chief attraction * , Ho holds this year's IJ-yoar-oid record of 2 17 , and It U thought wlllboat2-l3 without doubt , nnd there nra plenty of horsemen Mho believe ho can go n mlle In 2 10. It is nn 'neontrovertlblo ' fact that western people fond of good har M and gro.it speed can never expect to see a greater field of wonders than will go at Lyons this week , nnd It will banoovo everybody who cm DOS- slbly get there to do so without fail. Both Hello Acton nnd Oatonlan will start to boat their best limo.

There is no track in the country where horsemen are shown inoro courtesies or afforded bolter accommodations than at Lyons. The management Is strictly flnt class nnd the events should bo rewarded by a rousing attendance. The Convention ! unit Nunptrrtln. That wilt surely bo an Interesting gnnlo at the fair grounds this afternoon between those old rivals , the Conventions and Non pareils. A bitter feeling exists bstwoon the two and , as the game this afternoon is for $100 a side and the entire receipts , n rattling contest may bo confidently anticipated. The star batteries of each faction. Miller and Creighton for the Conventions and Jol- Ion nnd Laeey for the Nonpareils , will bo pitted against each other , and that each will strain every nerve and slnow to uomo out ou top goes without say Ing. The grounds hare boon nicely shaped , with n "skin diamond" and closely cropped outfield , for the battle , and altogether it Is highly probable that n stubborn battle Is on.- The loser will also pay the entire expenses , and the umpire will bo mutually agreed upon before the game , which will bo called promptly at 8:30. : I , pen Aftnr , liilinii > ' Scalp. lUn OAK. la. , Aug. 12.

The supreme court of Nebraska , In a recent decision , holds that the dog is prop erty , and no ono can destroy an animal vi ciously or steal ono without making himself liable.

[ Special to TIIK IJKB.J At the World's fair , which Is In. tended to show to the whole world the pro- Kresslvo strides of our young nation , as well ns the almost unlimited Vovjurces of our matchless country , no selfishness has been displayed The American people have ex tended a uordial invitation to all foreign na tions to participate , and equal advantages having bean placed at thu disposal ot nil , enabling them If thny could to excel our United States' own magnlllcent display. And nobly , have Germany and her emperor responded. Citizens of the United States , whoso land of birth is the Fatherland , or whoso ances tors came from Germany , must gaze with eyes tilted wltn admiration nnd respect upon the splendid exhibits which represent the wealth and culture of the Ger man omplro. The intrinsic value of the Gorman exhibit can bo calculated by the millions. But who shall place nn estimate upon the noble generosity of Emperor William II. nnd the loading men of his country who have sent for display many Valuable personal articles , whtch nro sent , not because of nny Intrinsic value , but that the nations of the earth may look upon souvenirs which nro hold by the German people in almost sacrotl reverence. And the American people esteem and honor the noble principles and friendly regard which have prompted the valuable private and his * torlcal displays. Iiiicutlnii oT tlio Exhibit , Enter the west door of the Manufactures building , walk down the main Isle to the center of the building where stands the big clock , turn to the loft on Columbia avenue , and you will find yourself in front of the German exhibit. Thu entrance is gained through an Immense ! iron gate. Those gates are made of wrought iron nnd entirely by hand , with no other tools than the chisel nnd the hammer , which seems almost in credible when contemplating the intricate and elaborate workmanship. To the loft of the gate in a glass case , nnd resting upon a handsome green velvet cushion , is a Jeweled crown iu miniature , a gold imodal , ring nnd chain presented by Emperor William 11. to the mayor of Stras- burg. Hero is also n boautlful or namental book given to William I. as a birthday gitt when ho was 00 years old. It is embellished in designs symbolic of the oc casion. A similar kind of book which was given to the emperor , William I. , on the thirtieth anniversary of his wedding has a center of brocudo velvet , is bound in leather and trimmed in gold and Jewels. Upon a table near by Is a magnificent jewel casket belonging to Bismarck and presented to him by the city of Humiu. The figures on the four corners are commemorative of noted battles. The head of Bismarck , in a line cut cameo , ornaments the lid , the whole bolng llowored with gold and silver. Tbo casket was locked upon leaving the custio ot its owner nnd will so remain until its return. Close by that of Bismarck is Iho Jewel case of General von Moltko , presented to him by the officers of his staff , und an ornamental book , which was given to Von Moltko on his 00th birthday , IS'JO , und boars his cout of arms. A hnndsomo silver shield bearing Bismarck's coat of arms was presented to him in 1833. These ornamental books , symbolic shields and the collection of cups , vases and medals , belonging toBismnrck can hardlybo described iu detail. The latter collection alone , believe , is'valuod at SCu.OOO. Artlstlo Work 111 Tllos. Just back of the fountain which throws up its spray In tbo center of this pavilion is a marble picture in tiles , representing Germuniu , which Is the central femnlo figure , sitting high above the rest. At the right hand is the banner of Germany , nt the loft hand is the banner of the states , while reclining ut the feet of the groups of llgures is ono whoso brow is crowned with n wreath of grupo leaves. Ho represents the river Rhone. At the side of the fountain stops lead up to a balcony and to the two open doors of u room , u peep into which is like a glimpse of fairy land. In the center of the lloor is a table set with a complete service of dcllcata porcoloun. The display of the royal porce lain works contain many rare and exquisite vases , plaques , complete sots , nnd all kinds of China bric-a-brac , so numerous and so beautiful that it would take hours to inspect and many more to describe in detail the varied and choice collection. In this pavilion is located the exhibit of E. Schur- man &Co.of Frankfort-on-tho-Main , Jewelers to the emperor and empress of Germany , and to a gentleman connected with this exhibit I am indebted for many valuable note * . In the glass case belonging to this Jirui is n fac-siiuilo copy of thu papal ring presented by William II. to His Holiness Pope Leo XII. . on the occasion of his Jubilee ; also u small but beautiful statue of the present emperor on horseback. The statue is of .silver , ex quisitely hand chased. In the sumo case is u glittering necklace of C70 brilliants and a butterfly bow of silver sot with diamonds , of which a fac-slinilo net in rubles and diamonds mends will bo made for her royal highness , the Infanta Eulalla. Each end of the case contains a boautlful fan of rare German point lace , ouo valued at 2,800with tortoise shell sticks set with diamonds. The other Is of the style of Louis XV. Two moro largo cases are lilted with private exhib its , among which is a golden goblet valued at $10,000 and the personal property of Emperor William and the empress. The line ornamental work on this goblet is simply beyond description , tlio topmost point bear ing n tiny golden crown , around the huso of which is a row of pearls and thu monogram W. V , , the whole vase being set with precious stones. Trltmtoi of Public Kstoem.

Strangers who view theio articles are placed at u disadvantage unless they can road the Germuu language , or are so fortu nate u < 9 to obtain the desired Information from ono who can read the Inscriptions , uud ono regrets very much the oversight of tbo exhibitors who have failed to provide n translation In English of n short history of the articles in thu private displays. There nro some miniature boats , ot gold and silver , given ns prices by the Gorman emperor at boat races. To mo these historical memen toes and personal souvenirs are tbo most interesting of all the Gorman exhibit. But they , of course , form only a small portion of the whole , to coo which nearly all of the ox position buildings must bo visited. Hlfitui nnil JCIuctrlclty.
