Mltclicll and Jom Corbott li o the oflcct
tlint this precious pair of worthies have at
last agreed to ndjiiit their differences In the
lihtoilc arena at Now Orleans for the paltry
sum of 20,000.
They mluht Just as well agree to pull off
tlio affair at Philadelphia , KoUomo , Yip-
Blluiitl or Knlnmnroo. Olio place Is nt avail-
nblo as the other , and the advertisement
would bo Just as effective and the agreement
just as binding.
The truth of the matter Is the great com
monwealth of tbo United States Is surfeited
Ith tbo bruiser , and tbcro Is about ixs much
fhonca of this alleged International battle
belnf * fought under the auspices of nny In
corporated club lu this country as tbero Is
that It will snow In hades on the Fourth of
July.
From the start 1 took no stock In the
Mltchcll-Uorhctt light , as all my roadc'rs
will bear mo out , out 1 did say thai In case
I , was mtstakon and the big mill did como
off , that it could only l > o In Now Orleans oren
on the turf. It was not long after this
declaration , however , until tbo clergy of the
Crescent City mndo nn onslaught on the
cohorts of Flstlana , and the result was to
blot out the last hope of over again witness
ing anything liito either ono of the previous
carnivals within the confines of the Pelican
Bttito. Consequently 1 included Now Orluiins
in my litt of interdicted cities. Now Gov
ernor Foster comes out Hat Coo toil tuul says
that if there Is any power on earth thut will
prevent the Mttehcll-Corbett light from
taking plncu In the metropolis of L.oulManu.
thut it will bo invoked and that the parties
who nro now presuming to negotiate for the
same might as well desist 11 rat us last.
In this connection the States says edito
rially : Ninctccn-twcntl'iths of the brutes
who make WK money by prlzo fighting , and
wtiom thu country disgraces itself by lifting
into national notoriety , indeed , In , after a
fashion , apotheosizing , arc personal cowards :
men utterly destitute of that uoblo and gen
erous spirit which h'ros tho'beart of a truly
bravo man , who is over ready to stake his
life in Uo'cnso of his honor orof the wronged.
Nor is this to bo said only of modern prize
lighters. It is stated by ull the historians
that the prizci lighters who took part in the
Grecian mid liomau games wcro notoriously
unlit for soldiers , being goncr.illy dovold of
the courage to encounter the dangers of the
battlelleld. AnU iot , it is the proud distinc
tion of Now Orleans that , of late years , she
' bus bocoino the arena wherein these crea
tures moot to engage in their briituLcontests.
Wo trust , however , the hist of these dc-
pruvod and disgusting exhibitions has been
witnessed hero. The legislature of I utsi-
ana should enact a most stringent law against
prlzo lighting , and ono that the Now Orleans
clubs , as they cull thcmsnlvos , cannot ovudo
under the pretcnso that they are giving
glove contests ; and , in the iner.ntinio , no
good citizen of Now Orleans should give his
countenance to aiy future cxhloltlons of this
sort that mf > y take place in a Now Orleans
arena. "
IVhllotho above goes to sho.v how the
great "moral engines" of Now Orleans
.stand on the question , thoj attitude of the
States is quite funny. I well remember the
ultfht of the Sullivan-Corbott light , and how
1 mut at the ring side the whole stuff of the
States from the proprietor and editor down
to tbo counting-room boy in fact , every Hv-
Inc soul connected with the shop , but an
extra paid force , who remained at the oflico
for the purpose of netting out the very full
and very complete extra inidnicht edition ,
which they had on the streets In Jess than
ten minutes after the BIp i > oliow hit the
sands for the last time. For one , and tlioro
are n whole lot of { rood people in Now Or
leans who will endorse what I s y , I think
the Olympic club has done incalculably moro
good for Now Orleans than n number of
other institutions which the States has so
capably ehumplonrd In the past , and whoso
memory it still reveres.
I sco that the Motropole club of Provi
dence Is endeavoring to match Hilly Smith
and Tommy Kyun , and notwithstanding
there Is little moro tliun cigarette niouoy in
the purse , it , looks as If It might bo a fro
Uyan Is willing , in fact , moro than willing ,
as ho agrees to .light the Mysterious for
trulnlng expenses , It nothing better Is forth
coming , but Smith demurs. Ilo freshly
claims that ho is a card second to Mono , and
must have the ducats or ho uon't light. See !
Boston "Billy , however , found himself in a
position a few days ago where ho had to

wasn't oven 11 beer insight. Ho and Dick
O'Brien , the Boston welter , with whom
Hy.ni was as good us matched while In this
city it year airo , mot on Washington street
ana bcguu discussing their chances of faoinc
cai-h other In the ring. What grow out of
this discussion h best told in the following
clipping from a Now York paper which ft

usual , Smith blustered and used profane
language and applied some Indcuont opi-
thotH to O'Brien and aroused the lattor's Ire

for years occupied a leading place on the list
of winning sires and up to within the last
few seusons clung on well up among tbo sires
of winners , notwithstanding the vast Increase -

volume of importations of the best blood In

Much speculation is already rife as to the

Moro young players were signed by the
league's base ball magnates for the past
season tliun in nny other year in the history
of cither the league or the association. This
was because many of the veteran players be
came too aged for actlvo service. A singular
thing , however , is the fact that few good
pitchers wcro developed , Not that the
young bloods didn't have n chance , as they
did , lor under the now pitching rules many
of the ola reliable twirlurs were urlvon their
death warrants , bu' . because of ihcsu same
pitching rules , which made it extremely
difficult work for a man to pitch good hall.
Of the pitchers developed Now York secured
a good man in Gorman. Monufoo of the

We have taken one committee-of investors from Omaha to our land.
The following is the report of that committee as published in the
Sunday Bee of October 29th ;
PORTLAND , Ore. , Oct. JB , 1893.
To Omaha Investors in Clarke County , Wash
ington Fruit Lands : Report As a member of your
committee , I have this' day visited and examined
the lands of the Stearns Fruit Land Company in
Clarke County , Washington , about four and a
- - half miles from Vancouver , and find them fully up
to the representations of the company in every par-
' ; ticular. The land set apart for you is level , the soil
is excellent , the location desirable , the whole coun
try around it is beautiful with small farms planted
to fruit ; the roads are good , schools and churches
are near. The people living there are all Ameri
cans of the best class. In fact I am fully satisfied
r with the land and the county. I find that the facts
in regard to yield of crops have been underesti
mated rather than otherwise by that company in
all its circulars. Respectfully submitted ,
S. R. MUMAUGH , For the Committee ,
John. Steel , Esq. , a member of the Omaha Cily Council , saw the
land two days after the above and endorses every word of it over his
signature.
Only a payment large enough to show good faith is required till
you know you are all right and can go ahead.
The second free excursion will leave Omaha , Nov. 20th , via Union
Pacific route and Gra.nd Columbia river , returning via Portland , Oregon
gen , for the purpose of selecting lands.
Each subscriber for twenty acres is entitled to go.
Any combination of subscribers for smaller farms amounting to
twenty acres , are entitled to send one representative.
Each subscriber may take as many acres as is desired , from one to
twenty.
Each homestead , when completed , will give an annual income
equal to its cost.
See circulars and . application blanks , obtainable at the Bee office ,
