Cuicaco, 111, Feb. Bee,]—Next Wednesday the fir fes of athletic contests to be given by the Olympic and Crescent City athletic clubs of New Orleans will be held. The inaugural event will be between Tom Ryan of Chicago, the American welterweight champion, George Dawson, the Australian top-notcher. The contest is to be fought at 140 pounds, weighing in at noon, and the winner will get 5,600 of the §0,000 purse hung up by the Olympic club. On Thursday, the 2nd day of March, Ern- est Rocber and Bvan Lewis, the strangler, meet in a wrestling contest for a purse of 2,000 and the heavyweight championsnip of America, mixed styles, best three falls in five. Preceding the wrestling bout, Billy McMillan and Billy Hinds, two 145-pounders, fight to a finish for a purse of $00. Friday, Joe Goddard, the Barrier giant, and Denver Ed. Smith, heavyweights, come together for a purse of $10,000, the long ‘end of which, $5,500, will reward the victor for his work. p The star event of the tournament will occur March 8, when Rober® Fitzsimmons, the Cornishman, and Jim Hall, the Austral- fan vanquisher of Ted Pritchard, will face each other in the a of the Crescent City club for the largest purse ever offered for o pugilistio encounter in this or any other country— §40,000.

A summary of the opinions reveals the follow- ing items of interest touching the events as mamed: In the Ryan-Dawson match, eleven think that the American champion should Fetain the title, but fail to estimate the num ber of rounds in which the Ch should do the trick, while the ne case as regards Australian Dawson. The guessing on Ryan vavies from elght to seventy-five rouncs and on Dawson from nine to forty-five rounds. Goddard-Smith—Ten think that Goddard should win in an unstated number of rounds, while in like manner two assert Smith should capture the honors. The estimates on rounds in Goddard's case vary from two to twenty-five rounds, aud on Smith from eight to thirty-seven Hall-Fitzsimmons—Four say that Fitz should win, without hazarding their reputa- tion on predicting the number of round while the same is the case with eleven who fck out Hall as the prospective owner of he $40.000 purse. The seers have Fitzsim- mons the winuer in from twelve to thirty- five rounds, and Hall in from nive to sixty.

While the eyes of a large portion of the population of the globe will be looking to- ward the big city by the lakes during the progress of the World's fair, Omaha will attract the attention of 4,000 men, women and children at least for a weel or more, because Omaha’s contingent to the National Riflemen’s association (Bundesschuctzen verein) contest held in St. Louis two years ago worked diligently to secure the next one for their ity this year and they carried off the prize over the inducements held out by such cities as Milwaukee and Chicago. These contests take place biennially. The association at the place so selected is then charged with the duty of makingall prepara- tions for the meeting and the election of a bundes president, secretary and treasurer to in carrying out the program. F. L. Blumer of this city was selected for the first mentioned office, while Louis Heimrod took the second one. Ever since the St. Louis contest the mem- ship here have been deliberating whether it would not be advisable to purchase a tract d, 8,10 to 8; Fitz a5, even; Lou M.
