In fighting Jim Hail, Bob Fitzsimmor matched himself with the present king of pugilists of the entire old world, the champion middle-weight who has never known a defeat in either Australia, his native land or, in Eng- land. With such ‘records as these two cou- testants have it is easy for any one whether familiar or not with sporting matters to see the difficulty in selecting the victor. The fight will uot, however, decide the championship of the world as first announced and will come under the head of catch weights. bas : CHARLEY MITCHELL. attractions. The failure of the Pritchard Greggains match is also a sad losssand it is not at all likely that anything will come of the Cor- bett-Mitchell talk, or at least not until after the world’s fair is over. Corbett has a contract to appear as the champion heavy-weight of the world at the fair, and it is not probable he will take any risks of losing his prize between now and then. He will undoubtedly. meet Mitchell after the fair, and possibly before if pushed by his friends. The Goddard-Smith match takes place in the cresent city at the Olympic Club on March 3. It will be a tough fight, but Goddard's chances will be seon in the first few rounds. He is, as all agree, a hard hitter and if he gets a show a few of his strokes will settle it. But Smith is claver and may keep out of his reach. The purse is $5,000. Between’ now and March a match may be cooked up for Jack McAnlife, who has at present any number of challenges to consider, but so far he has said nothing in reply to them with the exception of Stanton Abbott, but nothing is settled vet. Jim Gibbons is anxious to match CAPT. ROBERTSON. Capt. Robertson is one of the oldest cyclists in the city. He first came prominently before the public when he beat Ref Smith in the first game of polo played on cycles, and later he played with Rex Smith as the team of Capital Bicycle Clab against Finley E. Chickering of Staithvill a handsome banner Having won several other prizes polo on eyeles he spent 1884-5 in making 4 six mouths’ tour of the ies, which proved very sucessful, ¢ time being spent in the south. He first eyelixt. to descend the Capitol steps, and following this dangerous éxhibition he went on the road racer. In 1885 he won the Marlboro’ road race of the Capital Bicycle Club, beating the existing record. by six mi utes. Then he came in first in the Arlington- Columbia twenty-mile road race,coming in with lowering the record five min- the many prizes won by f n were about thirty medals, corps and other prizes. In 1887 at Atlanta, Ga., he secured six prizes. Then he won number of prizes at -Macon, Ga., and was win- ner of the five-mile «afety southern champion- ship. He also participated in races at Bir- mingbam, Ala., securing sixteen prizes, includ- ing Columbia prize cup and twenty-two-mile race, Winning the latter in the excellent time of beating southera 1591 at the L. A. W. meet at BOB FITZSIMONS. Infact had Hall not agreed to this the match would have been off. ‘When they met at the New York World office and signed the contract on December 12 last in the company of Warren Lewis, Martin Julian and a number of other sporting men, Bob objected to the 160 pound clause, for which he held out for several weeks. He re- marked that they would either fight at the proper middle-weight 158 pounds each or ut catch weights. To this Jim replied that he might suit him- self. He didn’t think he could get down to 158 pounds, but be would agree to fight at catch weights, as he wanted to fight and was willing to make any agreement Fitzsimmons might pete This is, however, nothing more than justice in pugilistic reasoning, as Hall's extra two ounds makes it another case like the McAuliffe Burge, and tt would be no more fair for bob to fight Hall under such circumstances than it would for Jack McAuliffe to battle with Dick Burge. Of course if neither McAuliffe or Fitz~ simmons should care to prefer objections to the weight it would be another matter and the matches could have been passed as champion- ship contests, Jim Hall was remarkably good about the agreement,made no objections and said at the start that he desired to award his former contestant with the choice of every- thing. records.

Itseems that Hall has never known how it feels to be whipped and that he has beaten every man he has met so far inside of eight rounds, In England be bas finished all his rivals in two rounds, Among Mall's victims Harry Mace, Tom Ryan and Herbert Goddard, a brother of Joe's, are found. Tom Williams feels sure that he will add Bob Fitzsimmons to this list once more. Thia is certainly a great record for “Fighting Bob” to fight against. Fitzsimmons’ record 1s, however, a good firm one, nnd from careful consideration it seems to me that he ought to be a good match for Hall, He is the possessor of a well-developed ph; sique and his muscles are in the best condition.

He says that if McAuliffe is so solicitous of meeting Austin at the garden in a four or six round bout a chance is open for him, which he hopes he will not allow to es- cape. A fight is also under consideration between Biliy Myer and Austin Gibbons at the Crescent y Club. Billy Ernst of Brooklyn and Walter Campbell want to meet again, but whether the Crescents will take hold of them is a question. Still if they want matches this will give them an opportunity. Tod McMahon, the book- maker, called at the Il/us/rated News office and deposited $100 asa forfeit on behalf of Campbell tofight Ernst. Tod will back Campbell against Ernst for $1,000 or more a side for a limited number of roundsor to a finish, at catch weights, Ait Lakeland wiil also wager $1,000 or more on the Philadelphian. Tommy Danforth called at the Police Gazette office the other day and stated that he was ready to arrange a match to Welch at 130 pounds for $250 match Jack Duffy of Fish! N.Y., to fight Steele at 130 pounds for $250 and the largest purse offered, or Danforth will fight Walter la!ligan of Brooklyn for aside anda purse. ‘these are merely possibilities in which the Crescents have as yet evidenced no interest. Yet noone knows what may come of them. ‘They are, of course, candidates for its carnival of sport. It is more likely that a match will be arranged for this man Tom Williams, who has just arrived. He may mect McAuliffe, but, weighing, us he does, 140 ponnds, Jack’ may make the same objection as he made in the Burge case. ‘Tom Williams claims to be the champion 140-pound pugilist of the world. He is a likely looking fellow a ‘xceptionally well built. Ho has massive arms.adeep chest and a good shoulder development. He is of florid com- plexion,-has hight, glosay hair and sports » sandy mostache. His countenance bears tell- tale marks of his tights. His mission to this country is to get on a fight with any one at 140 pounds, barring nobody. He say very dull in both England and Australia, which caused him to come here. He wants to ar- range # match as quickly as possible and claims to have good backing. He would like to meet the winner of the Dawson-Ryan is also talked of in sporting’ circles and may be @ Crescent attraction.

Bowling Not Merely a “Fad,” but a Fixture in the Clubs, ACTIVITY IN THE GYMS. Game at Base Ball Betwoen the ¥. M. C. A. and Yale Nines Arranged for March 31— Prize Contest at Carroll Institute—Proposed. before, and not only the athletic clubs wha have this game as one of many features but clubs formed especially for the playing of the gam are developing such an interest in it that if it continues it will out- grow the “fad” state and really become a fixture. The character of players, too, that seek it is something to be re- marked. Like foot ball, which bas for the most Part college men as its devotees ana adherents, this game seem to draw largely from the ranks of men of profession. Reading an account of a game the other day, in which there were | three teams of five men each, I found that out of | this fifteen four were lawyers, five physicians, three bankers, a clergyman and two book- keepers. One team had three lawyers on it and of course that team won, for did you ever hear of lawyers losing in anything in which they had | any chance at all. This is only another pointer Which shows that amateur sport is gradually nee into the bands of the class where it will ave its safest keeping. That all sorts of ama- teur sports are becoming purer is shown daily j by the reports of the rigid enforcement of the true amateur rules and definitions, and pro- fessionalism will never suffer for the want of exponents, judging from the numvuer of men, once good in their line, who are as rapidly as possible being relegated to the professional ranks, THE COLUMBIA ATHLETIC CLUB. “A steady increase in the attendance in the gymnasium” is the word on this floor, Both atternoon and evening classes average thirty- five in attendance and there is lots of new ma- terial being developed, and future exhibitions will more than ever have fuller lists for each sort of work on the floor, and the team work in certain of the “turns” will be made a specialty. At present there are a number of men who are getting ready for the early spring outdoor Work and field and track men as well as our#- men are busy, each working at this or that particular thing which, in his chosen line, w do him the most good. Of the large num. ber of big, heavy men who have recently come into the club some are very anxious to row, and if it is true that it is the club's inten- tion, and E am informed that it is, to again go actively into rowing the Potomac will once more take on that lively aspect that seemed to beapart of it every afternoon several years ago. The junior four-oared crew, which showed such remarkable speed last year, will get to- gether again and hopes there ‘will be a chance in which it can show what it can’ do, The in- termediate “eight.” which became famous through its work at Boston on Labor day two years ugo, will likewise get together again, feveral of the members having. been out of town for a year or more. It will better crew than ever before. members who were quite young when they first rowed in the eight have developed into big, strong fellows, and with their knowledge of rowing and their willingness (indeed, their anxiety) to row for the club will make th formidable crew in “eights,” and I certainly hope the boys will be given a chance to show what they can do, Sewell and Ross are practicing earnestly in their double trapeze act and will give » fine exhibition of this difficult work on ladies’ day, Thureday, 9th instant, On the same di addition’ to above, Mooney and Instructor Crossley will do a brother act, and it will be a good one. There wiil be other features to make upa good program for the entertainment of the fair guests of the club, and for those who are fond of it, and, I believe, they allare, there will be a sparring bout more than likely be- tween Mooney and Lindgrew. ‘The special assistant committee,as part of the regular committee having in charge this ladies’ day, are Frank W. Brown and Dr. O. D. Dar- reil, ‘The nomination of Mr. Chas. E. Coon for president, Alexander Grant for vico president, S'siaury Dove for treasurer and J. Nota Me. Gall, and whose nomination means election, as there are no opposing candidates for these posi- tions, bespeaks for the club the same careful management that was given it by the outgoing administration, and to which is due the present excellent condition of this popular club's af- fairs, financially and otherwise, The nomina- tions to fill vacancies and expired terms on the board of governors have been published heretofore. Among the men who are fast becoming splendid all-around men Craig and Emmons show marked improvement. Arthtir McElhone is going higher each prac- tice night in bis running high jump. He will, if he keeps on, make it lively for some of the tars” in the spring games as well agin the indoor games. At the Joyce benefit recently Bain, Joe Taus- sig and Ross did some of the best batteau board werk ever done here, easily outjum:ing in height Instructor Crossley, who it well kuown | for this specialty. Of course, the boys felt proud of their acHievement, Tlearn that Instructor Crosstey has been here abont three years. In that time be has devel- oped some good men. He bas brought ont and developed some men who were “green” and knew nothing at all about the work in which they are now almost masters, and these results | JOR coppaRD. side. Williams, ho..cver, could not get down to that weight without impairing his chances, but in order to arrange a battle he said he would fight at 138 pounds providing he was allowed to weigh in at 12 o'clock on the day of the contest. To this Burge objected. and the matter ended there. There is a possibility that they may meet vet, and in this country. How- ever, not very soon. Williams was born in Australia twenty-four Fears ago. He is 5 feet §!4 inches tall and fights at 140 pounds. He hasa very long reach. His first fight in public was with Harry Mace, whom he whipped in three rounds. He next faced Harry Salle:s and won in three round Billy Maher, known ax*“shadow'’on account of his Jeanness, was Williams’ next opponent, and after fourteen slashing rounds a draw was the result. A few weeks later the pair met again and fought aneight-round draw. Williams’ friends then arranged a fight with Jem Saxton. Saxton was burly, vicious-looking follow, who had the Teputation of hitting with sledge-hammer force and the speed of a cyclone. It took Williams only six rounds to put his man to sleep. Ben Seth was Williams! next victim, the former suc- cumbing aftér four minutes of fighting. Jim Barron was then knocked out by Williams in one round. ‘the latter fought an eight-round draw with Jerry Mershall and a later he knocked out Jem Dawson ig one round anda half, Williams’ other battles were f a Private and he has no of them. In‘Australig Williams is known as “Hurricane Tom.” because of the fact that he defeats his Contestants in so few rounds. From ail appear- ances he is clever hitter. This is the situation of the @ampaign to be in New Orleans early in the spring. It is not en- couraging, but I think things will develop sat- are gratifying alike to the club and to the men and speax volumes for Crossley’s work, Of the men who have thus been developed in their hine a few ue tomy mind. First of all, Bob Dodge, a splendid all-around man; a good gymnast and perfectly at home on track and field; the present champion of the Atlantic di- vision of the A. A. U. in the quarter-mil Jack Ranier, too, has developed here, and so with Dickinson and Adam Johnson and ‘Taylor, all good hammer throwers, and, bythe way, Frunk Johns out in his bowling; it proved to tbe tare offs boodon than g meses % Mo & aTELETICS. ‘Matters in athletics are moving steadily along. and not only the acrobats and gymnasta,but the baseball and other outdoor ‘men are regularly bard at work. ‘That this i to havea good bell teatn this year there ie mo doubt, and to that end ite managers are work- ing in every direction, ipally, however, to get the men into shape in the grivnasiam. The names of the team so far have been given here. That it is bustling for dates with college and other outside teams is evi by the fact that it announces at this early day a game with Yale on March $1. Arrangements are nearly complete with other teams of great reputation ‘and attractive power, and altogether this will be a busy season, Eaton and Jobnston, oné of the guards of the foot ball team, are developing into good wrest- ers, and being very well matched will in a short while make a good showing and under the ai. rection of McChesney and Prof. Simms are fast learning how to handle themselves, There is no better evidence of the snecess of | the work and the interest taken in it than the | nak | e numbers that attend each class in the gym- jum. Onlast Saturday there were seventy-nina in the boys’ class and it was a good jolly crowd of boys altogether anxious to become strong and big. “Instructor Simms, who has been here just three years, naturally feels pleased at the suc- cess of his work, for to his efforts must ina Jnrge degree be attributed the popularity of this branch of the popular organization. When he first came here it was hard work to get to- gether twenty-five in a class, and the classes are Just beginning to grow, and as they keep on rowing the necessity for a much larger build~ ing becomes all the more apparent, for in the same proportion all the classes in the other branches of the association ure growing. Tam glad to learn that Secretary Pugh and Manager Wells are going to take exercise in the gymnasium in class drills and so on. I certainly want to be on hand to see the former do a head stand and the latter a handspring. What an amount of dignity will now pervade the gym. Espey is still doing good work and promises to be another of the many good all-around men who have been developed bere. The Pentathlon games, which have the experimental stage here, will be given again during the coming season. I spoke of the featares of the system last week. {n the inter- state meeting, under this system, which will probably be held here, gold prizes will be given to those making 400 points and upward, silver prizes to these making 300and more and bronze medals for making 200 and better. Certainly some of these prizes ought to be won by our local men. CARROLL INSTITUTE ATHLETICS. That the housewarming last week was a grand success there is no doubt in the mind of any person who was so fortunate as to be present, provided that person did not get into the crowd. The new home of the Carroll Institute is a gem of comfort, convenience and coziness {the “three c's” copyr'ghted). The gymuasium is a bright, cheerful floor and a marvel of strength combined with lightness in the truss- work. When the complete apparatus and outfit which has been ordered of the ‘arragansett company is all in place will be in every way a model gymnasium. The athletic committee hopes at n early day to secure a competent instructor, nd it is its policy,as far as possible, to in every. way keep pace with athletics in this city. The members of the association bave among them some splendid material for a base ball team, and a meeting will shortly be held to arrange the matter and get the men together and from among the applicants to select a good team, aud if a District league is formed this season the team from the “C. I.” will become a mem- ber of it. ‘The bowling alleys are slso an attractive feature of the new house. ‘They are regulation alleys and have all the features necessary to modern bowling. There isa great deal of in- terest taken in this sport, and I find some very good bowlers, Among them Armstrong, Hickey, Oliver, Sbulteis and Will Johnson are doing some good bowling. Itis hoped at an early day to get into such shape that the series of games with the C. A. C., already spoken of, can be arranged. Mr. Ed. Voigt, who is an enthusiastic mem- ber of the institute, is preparing a very hand- some bowling badge, which he offers as a prize. It will be presented to the member of then i- stitute meking the highest score in any one game. The contest for the prize will begin on Monday vight, 6th instant, and close on the evening of May 1. BOWLERS FROM BOSTON TO PLAY IX NEW YORK. The arrangements of the bowling team of the Boston Athletic Association, which is to visit New York to playa series of games, are | about completed. No dates have yet been | fixed, however. The games will undoubtedly | be played about the middle of this month. Games have been arranged with the New York and the Manhattan Athletic Clabs, Ina practice game played this week a team composed of five of the candidates for the team made a single string total of 971. ‘This looks as if the team from Voston will bea strong one.

The other day she sent | to the bureau of entomology @ cocoon contain- ing eggs, which was pan by « handsome ar- achnid with striped legs and a reddish body. This creature, which is of a species that makes ®funnel-shaped web, she describes as being ‘very tame. “For months,” she says, “it has lived over my bed, allowing me to examine it. When it be- gan to get uneasy I placed it ina box, where it | spun a beautiful covering for its eggs, I am very partial to spiders and never destroy one | nor its web unless I am compelled to do so, In my own room I Jet them have fullsway. ‘There are probably fifty spiders there now and they never molest me. I find them all over the bed clothes, I believe the stories of their poison- ous bites to be largely exaggercted. Where I live we have many large black spiders, I found one of them curled up under my baby’s neck one mor “ged She does not mention how Mr. Bice enjoys this sort of thing. A Frenchman, the Rev. P. Camboue, has re~ cently been making some experiments with the | silk spun by spidera. His efforts were spe- cially directed to studying the work of a cer- | tain large arachnid of Madagascar. From one spider of this species he obtained in twenty- seven days more than 4,000 yards of silk, The silk was of a golden yeliow color. However, it | is not likely that any practicable plan will ever be discovered for making commercial use of take these four big fellows as a team for throw- ing the hammer aud I believe they would more than hold their own with a like number from any other club anywhere else, ‘Then take the ‘Taussig boys; they have much to be thankful for in the training they have re- ceived here. Sewell and Mooney have de- veloped from average men in acrobatics to that poit where they cant in some matters give pro- fessionals "a few pointers. Ross and Dain are willing men and have learned much in all- around work, and their instructor has a pride in them. Royce Hough came from the Y. M.C. A., and he, too, has developed into that stage when he may be expected to win a championship and break a record in the high jump. Of course, Croseley is proud of him, and so on down the line. Ido not now recall others. During the week bowling has had the call, and _as seen by the scores printed in Tue Stan good work was done, and it is very evident that a team can be gotten up here which would make it very interesting for any team that I | have seen or read about this season. ‘The in- terest in the tournament increnses with each evening's assignment and the crisis will finally be reached on Tuesday next when the “Big Six” bowls its games, and a good deal of fig- uring is going on’ now as to who will be the winners in the secona series, now being played, ‘The bowling committee has strong hopes of getting the bowlers of the Carroll Institute in- terested in a series of games.

It would certainly be mutually beneficial to both parties, besides spreading interest in this sport. ‘Let one or the other make a definite move by appointing a commit- tee and arrange to meet a similar committee from the other organization and then go ahead.
