I can assure Dick that his letters are novcr
looked upon In the light of an unnoynnco.but
rather a genuine pleasure. There are few
Dick Moores in the game.
Next Tuesday evening at the club house of
the New Jersey Amusement company Bob
Fitzsimmons will attempt to knock out the
new Irish importation , Jack Hickey , in four
rounds. While it loous as if the lanky kan
garoo is able to knock out about anything
near his "hoft , " I must suy all reports
holding good there are ample grounds for
doubting his powers in this instance.
Ili'koy , they say , has tucked Peter Muher
away In his little bed on two occasions on
the other side of the herring pond , the second
end time in less , than four minutes. If
these talcs arc of the fairy genus , however ,
sprung to swell the gate , look out for Uobert
to land the Hibernian !
There is to bo a double bill at Uoby to
morrow night in the gulso of u llnlsh light
between Jimmy Barry , the clover Chicago
bantam , and .Johnny Connors , another good
little 'un from Springfield. 111. This will bo
the eurtala raiser and should bo a fairly in
teresting go.
The.premier event will bo the ilcht be
tween Young Grilfo of Sidney , Australia ,
and Kid Luvigno , the pot of the Michigan
pineries , and it will bo a hummer beyond
question , as both men nro lighters in the
fullest sense of the term. But little is
known of the Antipodean beyond his record
at homo , where ho wasi reputed to bo the
clovcrost of his class the big feather
weights.
According1 to the stories told of GrilTo bo
Is a second Ike Weir in grotcsqucry within
the ropesanil diversifies Ills pummeling with
moiikoyshincs ami ludicrous antics that
never fail to amuse the spectators and at
the same time aggr.avnln and exasperate iiis
opponent. The dead game of the southern
continent were always willinir to go broke on
Grlffo , but they never had to. Out of n
half hundred lights the follow has niiido
over there , forty-eight were victories and
two draws , Up to date he has never boon
compelled to content himscit with the loser's
cud. While I expect to see him beat Lnvteno ,
he has anything hut a cinch , as the boy
from the homo of the Wolverine is a glutton
for nunlsliiii'-'iit , is a tr.tsty puncher himself
and as game us the proverbial pebble. His
numerous admirers nil realize that ho 1ms n
life-size contract on bis hands , but pin their
fait ) ; to his hard-hitting capabilities and
wonderful powers of endurance.
Probably one of the freshest men in the
world is Mysterious Billy Smith. Since his
quick victory over the redoubtable Tom
\Vllliiuiisiif Australia his bruggdocio has
been something simply dlsgu8tln < ; . and there
Is luailly a lighter In the country that hasn't
U in for him. The salting he got from
Tommy Hynn. Tuesday evening last , how
ever , will probably go n long way In Improv
ing his manners , and wo will probably not
hear so much of him for some time to come.
That Kynn had immensely the best of
their selto last Tuesday evening and to a
finish would have won Is now much more
than a probability. Smith , llko ( Jcorgo
Dlxon , of the wool : before , the moment he
realized that his master was before him , de
veloped a bail case of rattles , which of course
in u great measure diminished his real
powers. The man ho was going to'uot in the
first round , pounds his face to n jolly In six ,
and the sound of the gong was one of the
most welcome that has greeted his ours for
years.
Hyun comes nearer being u second edition of
jJni CorUctt thai any tighter I kuowof , and
Ills light Tuesday nlsrhl was evidently what
Corboil's would have been on the 7tti of Sep
tember lust , had he found John L. able to
have accomplished anything at nil , The
champion evinced this by bis sprinting tan-
tics in the llrst round , before tie had fairly
felt the big lullow out , but shortly realizing
that ho only had a bag of meal before him ,
ho modllled his mod us of annihilation and became
cameaggressive. .

WHISPERINGS OF THE WHIRLING WHEEL

- of the Gunner's Idyl Yoli9 | from

Ing Miscellany.
NOIITII PIATTE , Nob. , Aug. 80. To the
Sporting Editor of TUB BEE : For a long
time of late years In contests ( Queensborry
rules ) tall men of the same weight with
stumpy built men seem to have the ud-
vantiiijo , but of lute the tide seems to have
turned in favor of the latter typo. Young
Corbctt and Alex Groggulns were over
thrown by the broad , burly and strong breed
of boxers ; notwithstanding their advantages
in-height , length and cleverness.
Champion Corbott and Mitchell will repre
sent the two different types of build , and
should they over meet time will prove which
will be the winner. Dan Creedon , the
Australian , although only 5 feet 8 }
inches in stnturo , is a remarkably
big made man at thevelght ,
and Greggnlns could not contend against
ills overwhelming strength and stamina.
Hurry Ormo , a stinted Horcule.s of barely 5
feet D inches and a totiph pleeo of stuIY , was
successful in his contests with Aaron Jones
and Nat Langlmm , who were both his
tuipcrior in height , roach and science. Ditto
Morrlssoy vs iieeimn. As a mutter ( if fact ,
in the history of the ring very few cham
pions have been over six feet high.
The- renowned Jem Helchor , champion of
England in ISO ; ! , and ono of the most , accom
plished boxers of all England's champions ,
and Jack GOllo.v , the M. I' . , who beat the
glgantlo ( Jrcgson twice , were both nearly
BIX feet high , and bolli/\vura fairly beaten
by Harry Pearce , called "thogumochlckon , "
a compactly built man of 5 feet I ) , weighing
over thirleim-stono trained.
Of nil the pugilists of the present time ,
George Dlxon , the little Nova Scotia negro
boy , is , from his record , entitled to the proud
title of champion of the world at his weight.
"Solomon Pulunki" Is llyiug at hlgn game ,
nml will have a hard task to lower Iiis colors.
By the way , how p.iany pugilists of the Smith
family were baptized Smith t if Denver Ed
fought Mitchell a draw battle in England in
IbT'J , that t& not the name given in Mitchell's
Birmingham record ,
Time makes wonderful change ? . Fifty or
sixty years ago there was considerable hos
tility in New York between the native
American and Irish elements , as repre
sented by Hill I'oolo and Tom Hyer vs
YnnUce Sullivan and his followers. At that
time there was a tremendous prejudice
against the Irish clement , particularly In
the New England states , Such genuine
Irish names us O'Connor became Connors ,
O'Hrlon becameUryan undliryant ; Murphy ,
Morphy mid Murchy , etc. Now the Irlsli
have the pull , and several llcbrous are sail
under "the . " Also
ing greon. , Drums and
ICast End cockneys ut-o dubbing themselves
Paddy" and "Tnu Irish l.ad I"
if wo are to have sqtiaro sport , race pie
nice"ml patriotic pugilism hud butter be
dropped. Does any sane man think that , li
case of war , our modern mlllionuiro theatrl
cal pugilists who am living In luxurious Idle
urns on the fat of tho. ( and would enlist
Pray , how many pugilists of renown enllstei
diirlmr the lute wurl H Is by no means cer
tain .that Jackson and Dlxon are not chain
ulons of llio human nice. There seems to be
a reaction taking place in favor of the much <
abused Mitchell. The abuse of him by half ,
informed sporting scribblers has been like i
muu falling to poison himself by taking IO
much poison , It would appear that the law
of Now York state in regard to two years'
Imprisonment for making matches or prize
fighting Is only to bo cnfoieed against
Charlie. Probably if Mitchell had bo-
slobbered Sullivan by declaring "that ho was
the greatest pugilist that ever lived , " ml
that ho wu u uiun ho admired uud that hi *
heart warmed to him because we both como
of good Irish stock , Instead of saying that
he made him stop swinging his terrible right
and made him glad to drop his right arm to
protect his big paunch , ho would have been
more popular with the misled masses. After
James .John beat John L. , when ho was lying
down and being sponged , ho said , "now you
fellows keep away and don't shako my sore
hand ; I know that you arc all gl-iu that I
have won ; " and when old Mike Donovan en
tered he sprang to his feet and shook his
hand warmly , and congratulated Mike on the
result of the "mill. "
He told Mike that Sullivan had fougnt
Just exactly as ho said ho would , and that
Mike understood his tactics nnd knew just
what kind of medicine to administer to him.
Champion James John and his mercenary
manager tried to court popularity and ralfo
in money hy making Sullivan llburnl offers
at his bcuollt of money and tally. Fltzslm-
nions did likewise to Dempsey , but Jack de
clined to accept a cent. 1'rot. Mlko got a
very small gift for his share for his services
from the now wealthy and victorious gentle
man with the upright hair , and old Mlko
u as furious and declared he was a mean man
and that others would yet bo of the same
opinion ! Mike said there were two men in
America who could whip him , and that ho
would find out who tho.\ were soon enough
or forfeit the championship. Who were they I
Jackson , Slavin , Hall and Mitchell were
abroad then. Could Mlko have meant God-
durd , Fitzsimmonsor "beor iruzzllng Neddy ? "
Mitchell says he has never seen Corhett
spar. Corbott says he has seen Mitchell
perform and has been making a study of his
moves and the tactics ho uses toinsure
victory. It might be within the bounds of
possibility that Mitchell might light In u
totally different way from what James Jay
expects. T. K. C.
There- has been an unmiatnkabla effort
made on the part of eastern sporting writers
the very men who should foster and
further the interests of the game , wherever
It may be fortunate enough to gain a foot
hold to backcap and bring dlugraco upon
the Columbian club. ThVso fellows want a
monopoly on the lighting business and will
only lot up when he goose with the aurifer
ous egg proclivities lays dead at their feet.
Just now they are overdoing the thing'
roundabout Gotham , unit an otlldal pronun-
clamcnto cannot bo long delayed. "The re
ports , " President O'Malloy writes mo , "that
were so lavishly telegraphed over the coun
try attor our last contest hero about , the
actions of the hoodlum clement who congre
gated about the club house , wore exagger
ated willfully and maliciously. It Is a fiiut
that n certain number of loafers gathered
more through curiosity than from any other
motive , anil after the coiuost had com
menced , they , excited by the cheering of
those Inside the building , caused considera
ble annoyance , but that the spectators were
ever in danger from them is untrue , They
simply endeavored to gala an entrance to
the building to witness the light and in so
doing made a great deal of noise , The club
officials huvo protltcd by past experience and
In future the civiiting of the least disturbance
anceon the outsldu of the arena will be nigh
impossible. The I'lnkerton olllcors have
been dispensed with and the club property
will In future bu in the care of the local
sheriff , who iruaranlccs that .the stillness on
the outsldo will rival a country fravoyurd. "
While the termination of Dick Moore's
light with Montana ICessler at Minneapolis
last Friday night was satisfactory enough ,
the iitlalr did not come up to the popular Idea
of what u eon test nf this kind should bu. It
was another 1' , J. Grltlln light over again ,
and the only creditable thing connected with
it was the prompt and proper way in which
the referee ended the broil and awarded
the slmolcons to Hlchurd on a foul. As it
was Muoro hud all the best of the little milling -
ing that was done.

' i -i The Uuce * This Week.
The Douglas county fair und races open
up tomorrow , and the prospects are exceed
ingly bright for un overwhelming success.
The race program opens tomorrow with a
couple of special events , und a bicycle race ,
but the regular trotting program will not bo
Inaugurated until Tuesday afternoon nnd
will eon U mi o till Friday Inclusive. The
track is in excellent shape , nnd the races will
bo among the most interesting over witnessed
iu the west.
Omaha has already lina two trotting ses
sions this year , the Roadster club's famous
mooting and that of the State Breeders
association , both of which , from the stand
point of line racing , were big successes , nnd
will bo hard to surpass in general excellence.
The field of g/and horses that will bo present
next week loads to the belief , however , that
the coming mooting will bo the mooting of
the season , The entry list is an Immense
one , and while It includes almost all of the
celebrated flyers that took part in the two
contests mentioned , there are many more
that will bo entirely now to the lovers of the
turf hero. Tliero are but few horsos.'of any
note that are not entered , that is from the
western country , nnd those from a distance
are both numerous and noted. Sec-rotary
Engclnmn says that such another Held of
horses was novcr seen here before and pre
dicts a huge attendance to witness the
sport. Ho has been working hard along
with the balance of the board and all are
congrutulatiug themselves on the jirospaot
of reaping an abundant reward for their
labor. There will b6 three events each day ,
Including onu running number , and so ad
mirably has been each day's card arranged
that horsemen and horse lovers generally
have a grand fund of exciting sport awaiting
them.
The2:10 : trot on Thursday will assuredly
bo an event that will arouse a vast amount
of enthusiasm , as will the : ' " .l trot
Wednesday and the free-for-all pace Friday.
The horses that will compote for the moneys
In these events are all animals of renown
and a big 'leJil is sure to bo sent off each
day. The railroads have ull made special
rates and the chances tire excellent for some
very large crowds. <
