In part, this will consist of a windup by Tommy Ryan, the boeneficiary, and Paddy Brennan, the New York heavyweight, in a six-round go, that promises all tho ex- citement of a genuine battle. Brennan is o clover man, with a record as long as your arm, and as he and Ryan will go for keeps, 1t ‘will be an event well worth sceing. Danny Daly will meet Teddy Gallagher, and Jimmy Lindsny, whom many think is yot as good s ny middleweight 1u the land, will once ore don the mitts with Sam Stevenson as his adversary. Aaron Sherroy, the promis- fug colored pugilist, und Major Hamm, another very clever and very ambitious Rembrant, will ciash within the squared circle.

Theofcial tables show that there has been one more game lostthan won.—Mul- ford. “Plie prizo mean man bas been discovered. Ho lives at Columbus and was ono of the small fry stockholders of the club. On the last days the Buckoyes played there he stood outside the gates and sold coupons out of his senson bouk at a discount in opposition to the regular box oftice. Bultimore has accepted the terms of the Columbus pitcher, Stephens. He is said to be really » botter pitcher than Clausen. Ac- cording to Maoager Sharsig, however, the best piteher in the Westera league was Jim Sullivan, of the [ndianapolis team.

The National board, whatever that 1s, has Awarded George Darby to Rochester, but apon what grounds the good Lord oaly koows, Iochester has no wcre claims on Darby than the elub in Yokohama, Jupan.

Ho buckled down to work in the second series aad Iy Kansas City down with threo bits in ono of the gamos thore. The loss of Hank's brother by the labor riots at Home- stead was a heavy biow to him.—Columbus, 0., Journal, Charley Abbey will nover bea Jay Gould or Vanderbilt, He isn't built for a specula- tor. A racent instance of an investment shows this, When Columbus won the first championship he had about 1,000 large group ictures made of the “Champs.” Like the amous oye-water of the lamented Colonel Sellers there was supposed to be millions in tho sale of these handsomo souvenirs, and Abbey was alroady investing tho imaginary profits in Nebraska roal estate. But the solid facts shattored his financial dream. The piotures wero a drug on the market and the popular conter fielder is out about $100 on the investmont. _ Baker, the photographer, is ablo to i1l orders for job lots of the photo- Rraphs at cut rates, —Columbus Journal. Tho great game Joo Kelley is putting up for Pittsburg is very gratifying to his host of Omaba friends. He is not only fielding out of sight, but nitting hard and rogularly. While King Kol is ono of the most unsophis- ticated youths alive, he is a coming stae on the dismond. A fow days boforo he left for the Smoky City, ho was out shooting on ths broad prairies 'west of the city, together with Bob Gilks, Shiebeck and the writer. The party was lying in the shadeof a big windmill, resting after an arduous tramp through the stubble, when suddenly Jos arose and gazing wonderingly over tho broad fields of waving prain strotching away us far as the oye could roach, he swept his out- strotched arms about him and inquired: “Say, fellows, what do they call all this any~ way?{ Is this Omaha, too? Whisperings of the Wheel. Mossrs, Perrigo, Houon, Kastman, Saucha, Potter and Schnell will attend the Towna division meet at Sioux City next week. The thonter party given under the auspic of the Omaha \Wheel club last Friday even- ing at Boyd’s theater was a grand success soclally. The bioycle comady given by the Sayers company was the attraction. The Omaha Wheel club spont last Sunday at Priess lake, at the shooting tournament. Quite a numbor turned out and all report an enjoynble time. It wasa sight to see the boys scurrying homoe just ahoad of the storm., Zimmerman, champion cyolist, was received amid the booming of cannon, the braying of brass bands and the choers of soveral thousand people on the occasion of his return from ‘‘merrie hold Hengland:” and why shouldn’t he have been! He has beaten the best that Brittain could send against him and on their own tracks, too. The local oyclists will soon ba entertained by a handidap road race which will likely oceur Labor day, August 30. The rave will be run over the course between Thirtieth and Bristol, Omaha, to Brizgs’ station and return, and will bo ' entirely under the man- agement of the Omaha Wheel club, some nundred or so dollars worth of prizes will e hung up for the competitors, a §5) gold medal being offered for time pri The race is open toall.

Omaha Wheel club to Briggs’ station, start at 8 o'clock. Mho country rouds are in splen- did condition, and s the morning is cool every cyclist who enjoys country road riding should turn out with one club or the other. Many new men-hang back and aro not over- auxious to attend club runs, fearing that they will not bo able to keep up with the pace makers. Such riders should attend the ruus and learn that the road officers of both clubs make a special effort to look after the wants and comforts of now men on club runs. Many a timid rider has changed his opinion after attending & club run, and has made an exceptional good road man. Try it and be convinced. Chief Consal A. H. Porrigo is back again from tho national meet of the League of American Wheelmen, at Washington, D. C. Perry has a fine collection of souvenir badges and medals, Whilo away the worthy chief consul was a member of the now famous Iilinois division who travelea from Cbicago in their own special train. This division was decidedly the “push” of the meet so Perry avers. The latest number of the Bearings contains a very good photogravure of the party and prominent among the faces may be seen those of Billy Kmerson and our chief consul. The scoring for the Tourist Wheelmen club medal is given below. Four more months will finish the compeution, Unptain Pottor now leads by a small margin of four miles, Barnum, tne leader of the last scor- ing, has dropped back to third place.

The Tourist Wheeimen and the Council Blufls Whoel olub were schedualed to ride up to the Valley and spend thé day with the Valley boys and the Logan, Ia., club, The day was lovely, aud tho oarly morning was cool and enticing to the early-rising cyelist. The Council Bluffs boys <vere the first to start, and wore followed shortly after by the Tour- ts—the first half of the journey was mado three hours an ten minutes, just such a paco as one would wish to ride for pleasure— and there is a vast amount of pleasure to be gotten out of a cycle ride over the hills to Missouri Valley—some of the prettiest scon- ory slong the Missouri river seems to have boeu jumbled together along this strotch of thirty-two miles. At Honey creek the clubs were met in turn by a delegation of the Mis- souri Valley boys, who escorted them into the city. The happiest part of the trip was yet to come, A short stop was made in the city o allow tho stragglers to oatch up, then the long string of whoelmen, guests and hosts, pedaled out o one of the njcest, coolest pionio grounds imaginable. Hece tho wheels wers stucked, aud the boys proceeded to reuew old acquaintances and make uow ones. The commissary wagon, under escort of detach- ment of wheelmen, then rumbled up, and was loudly cheerad by the clubmen. The Logan Wheel club failed 10 materializo, and at 11:30 the gong, beaten by the Joliy captain of the Valloy club, announced to the hungry cyclists that refreshments were about to bo served. The lunch which was served was both novel and “bignly appreciated.

In the hurry to got uway many %000 byes which would bave beon said were lost. The Tourists started for home a-wheel and were chused by the storm for twelye miles, the distance was made in thirty-seven minutes, which isu’t very slow consideriug. At Hondy Creek tho storm caught the sour- rying eyclists and & few moments later the train picked Lhem utz and dropped them lightly in the wet at Council Bluffs. Yes, the day will be remembered, and why shouldn’l it, when such entertainers as Kon- dall, Riss, Reed, Audersou, Brown, Wissler, Metiovern and the Missourl Valley Wheel club extend the iuyitation.

Bell Acton, yearling, paced an exhibition mile in 2:25!7 av Lyons, Thursday. This is the fastest time ever made outside of Cali- fornia for a vearling. It is the fastest on record for this season for the year. Bell Acton is sired by Shaaeland Onward, 2:1817, dam Lotta P, 2:17%. She was bred and is owned by E. D. Gould, Fullerton, Neb., and was trained and driven by J. B. Chandier of the same place. The Everett Racing association at Lyons, this state, own, undoubta'lv, one of the fastest kite-shapod trasks i 1o world, Itis a veritablo model, and in _time will be amply heard from.

Mr. Perry's Liowollen bitoh, Lulu, is said to, the best broken an: bird dog the United States., Chicken are now bel ghtered in all parts of the stato. The young birds, that is, & majority of thow, are ahout half grown, and at therr best. The law might just as well be amended, making the open season two weeks earlier, as not, for a large element of sportsmen will take no chance in waiting until after September 1, when the young bird: have all fell a prey to the market hunter, or become so wild that it is impossible to secure any sport. Another thing that should be taken into considera- tion and that is thatan old or full grown prairie chicken is aboutas undesirable an ar- ticle for the table as could be mentioned.

Bob Dobbs, the colorad lightweight who made one of the best fights aver seen in South Omina, that with Aaron Sherroy, has been matchod for a finished with George McKen- sie, the Australian, by the California Ath- letic club. MecKeunsie, writes 8 member of the club to Tk Beg, is nov & hard bitter, but a most daving and courageous fAghter, extremely clever aud quick as aflash of light on his feot. He he favorite at slight odas but will have & hard time knocking out the colored American, however, for Dobbs can hit as nard as a mule can kick, and it will not take many of his blows to finish the Australian. Dobbs 1s training at Klinkner- ville, but it 1s not necessary for him to work hard, bacause ho takes care of himself and is always in good condition, McKensie is get- ting into condition at the Six-mile house. Jack Prince Is in Sprineflold, O., headed this way. Fo bas beon racing with a norse, and in a little note to the sporting editor, says he has made big stuff this summer.

The Parisians feol that their brilliant capital should have been the site of the international theatrical exhibition, which has been such a completa success this summer. thanks to Princess Metternich’s skilful guidance. So mnow they are arranging to hold one of their own in the gay capital beginning May 1, 1893, and closing five months thereaftor. M. Gailhord, ex-diroctor of the grand opera, 1s the projector of this entorprise. His idea is to begin the exhibition as soon as the theatars close in May, and to wind up vefore the autumn seasons begin.

One of the chief features of the exhibition will ba a revival of the ola mystery plays. Between the four great bases of the Eiffel tower he will erect a vast theater, open above to the sky, and there he will produce those plays whice were popular at the dawn of the theater 1n middle and southern Europe. One of the attractions will be a Passion similar to that produced at Ober Ammergau, and 1o less than four composers ot distinction are at work on the music for it. Onue of the great exhibition buildings is to be utilized for the superb theatrical pre- sentation of eventa in the history of Venice, which is now in_London.

The central dome will be filled up as an in- s utional.opers house, where the works of will. be presented, And in bs companies from all the great ‘world will perform. IMPIETL A Denver paper relates an amusing episode in the recent visit of a Presbyterian clergy~ man in that city. Ono day on the street he thought it wouid be a fine_thing to shoot his kodak at a Ute squaw: but. when the squaw saw the kodak pointed toward her sno hought she was being bewitched, and pull- ng out a large knifo from under her dress sho made a desperato_lunge for the dominie, He saw what was coming, and dropped the kodak in his fright, ana made a very undig- fiad dive for the other side of the street The squaw captured tho witch instrument, and after demolishing it roplaced ber knife with a satisfactors grunt and marched tri- umphantly away. o He sat in one of the frant pews in church in Detroit, the F'ree Press avers, with a face like a littlo angel, and wore that swoet, pi coclous look of knowledge beyond ‘his years that always makes oue think of & premature heaven.

He believed thor- oughly 1n their equality with men, and demanded tho same laws for both sexes.
