MARCH'S FISTIC CARSIVAL Commencing on the First with the Ryan- Dawson Mill, SPORTS OF FOREST, FIELD AND STREAM Base Gossip—1 the U Ball News—The crosse Notes and ual Questions Meager Byker's O the second fistic carnival given un- der the auspices of the New Orleans Olympic.club, I see will open up one weekfromnext Wednesday night with the welter- weightfightbe- tween Tommy Ryan of Chicago and Jeorge Dawson of Australia, which will doubtless prove one of the most interest- ing combats ever witnessed in this famous arena. That another very large attendance will be on hand to witness the sport is now a foregone conclusion, as the interest manifest all over the country in the Olympic's events, as well as the new Cry S attraction, the #40,000 fight between Jim F and Bob Fitzsimmons is but precious little milder thaun that evinced over the original carni last fall. Much of this is un- doubtedly due to the excellent business capa- city of the officers of the two clubs, The fact that they know a little better how to work up these affairs than any other set of men in the country will admit of no dispute. Then, aside from this, the united programs of the two clubs are of such extry i merit that general and widespr has been commanded in spite of eves influence Boston, New York and Brooklyn, Phila- delphia and Baltimore wilt again have trains i tered for the nmodation cities who are desirous of witue: sport, and while the attendance from these towns may be numericall; than that which graced September’s jubil it will be fully up tb the standard in the thusiasm and prominence of the make it up.

Oincin- ght is even now hown for the McAuliffe- in advance, and that the club s bound to pull out with a mice bal- | ance is now a guaranteed fact, The Olympic's program opens Wednesda evening, March 1, us noted above, with Tommy Ryan and George Dawson, for a #0,000 ‘purse, with the following seale of prices: General admission, $3: reserved seat, $5; box, §.

Bennison Brothers. the best of the former program, but it can- not be spoken of in the same day with the meet tween Ryan and Dawson; the Skelly-Dixon collision was a pudding stuffed ith raisins, while the climax, Sullivan and Corbett, was ukin to an oyster stew ata church faiv. The Roeber-Lewis wrestling match will be worth a dozen such fights as Skelly and Dixon might put up, and I'll stake ¢ reputation more fighting is seen in the t round of the Goddard-Smith battle than seen in all the twenty-one rounds between Sully and Jim. s, why Ryan, Hines, Lewis and ddard, is the way T would size it up preju- dicially, but between you and I and the gate post, that man Dawson is liable to treat Ryan most ungraciously, and as for McMil- lan and Hines, I know nothing about either, excepting that Ryan punched McMillan out in a couple of rounds u year ago over near the Windy City. After this quartet of turns all eyes will be directed toward the new Crescent City club, who will restart the ball in motion the *ol- lowing Tuesday night with a fizht between those clever lightweights, Austin Gibbons and Mike Daly. They will argue for the butt end of 0, and Danny's brother will be there or thereabouts when the division i made. He is probably the only man, sav Jem Carney, who ever got the best, without winning the fight, however, of Jack McAu- liffe in a bona fide contest. They do say that that fight really belonged to Mike. But let that go. Gibbons is a likely serapper him- self, but the artistic way in which Jack Me- Auliffe threshed him, or would have threshed him had the fun been allowed to proceed, I don’t think he will be much more than in it with the sturdy, stocky, stubborn Mr. Daly.

Nearly the entire population are either Cubans or na- tive Spaniards and the manners, cnstoms and language of the place are all alike for- eign. The Ybor City folks took a great in- terest in the stalwart wheelman and the ladies were particularly enthusiastic over him. The day before the race he received a magnificent bouquet at his hotel and an inv tation in a queerly spelled very Spani looking note to take a carringe riae and visit the points of interest of the town.

To muke the situation more eritical Mr. Prince was well aware that the eagle eye of Mrs. Prince, who is his constant travelicg companion, was glued upon him from behind an upper vindow blind. He accordingly controlled his er desire to inspect the sights of Ybor City and told the lady that he was very sorry but that he had a prior engagement, mo- mentarily overlooked. The beauty pouted and replied in a flood of Svanish, of which Prince understood not a syllable. He started to explain ag: nd she responded in more Spanish.
