There were hun- dreds of them who were wiliing to g0 broke 1 the event than any th mill tra on Ryan's chances in the fight vias awaited with interest other contest between the two eachinnatory Au That Ryan's injury was in the sligh gree feigned not one of his Omaha are willing to believe. 1t was well them that the desire of his life was t the Australian and conquer him if possible. | He correctly judged that the victory would place him at once in the very top notch of fighters and that he would weaken at the very moment when his ambition was about | to be gratified r will admit There is no disguising the fact that the ac cident at this time was welluigh o death blow to Ryan's pugilistic aspirations and the | fact most effeetively the one- | time impression that his ancestors once be. longed to that race which crossed the Red | sea without getting their feet wet. The young fighter seems to be pursued by a hoo doo. First his former sickucss at New Or- | leans, then ill luck in Omaha where he | was whipsawed out of a fight which he had fairly won, a similar exvericnce at Detroit, and now his unlucky accident just before the fight of his life, and he should have license | to tell hard luck stories for all the rest of his life, His offer to fight Dawson under cumstances was the best thing he could | have done, and, in fact he might better go in the ring and be whipped than to leave New Orleans without having fought a battle, hen he wouid sufer no disgrace except | that of having suffered defeat, which many | good men have done before him, but his rep. utation would be clear from the charge of cowardice which will always hang over him 1f he refuses to fight not even excepting nown to | meet demolishes any cir. . s The last, and in thé prospective opinion of many judges, the best of the series, will be fought Wednesday night, when the two Antipodeans will fettle the long disputed question of superiority. For the past two years th two men have proclaimed the ability of each to whip the other, but no allurements have sufticed to bring them together, It the general opinion that their long anticipated meeting will prove to_be a desperate and game encounter and there is coming to be an even division of opinion on the result. It is poticeable that Fitzsimmons' stock has | boomed rapidly within the past week and the number wiio now pin their faith on the conqueror of Jack Dempsey are largely in excess of those who held the same opinion two weeks ago. The idea thut Fitz was uitter was diligently promulzated by Hall's riends and it was clujmed that th atter would wind up his opponents in short order. But as the day of the bat tie approaches Fitzsimmons' friends gather eonfidence and sentiment and bets are break fng very mearly even. According to the est information it isa case of “pay_your noney and take your choice’ is and it should | e a hard exciting contest well worth travel ing 'y There is one thing that John T eould have done that wonld have mor 41y and effect ly lost him the respect in which he has alw been held by the sport. ng fraternity, than his idiotic action at St ouis Thursday night when he joined hands With Mitchell before 8,000 people and as sumed that his public recon tion with the English pugilist was the occasion for declar. ng that Corbett “‘was not on the lewel,” and hat he hoped to see the istnan the champion of the world g could be Jnore nauseating to his friends or more satis. factory to his enemies. But a short time ago ullivan was the American chawmpion, and espite his excesses and brutality he' was pmade the idol of all admirers of the fistic prt. Howas fairly whipped, and the sym- pathy which had been his before his defeat Wwas nov withheld after his downfall. If he had layed the part of a man and not_that of a vhining schoolboy he would still have re- gained much of his former vopularity, but his action of lnst week was the climax which reduced him from the position of & reputable ugilist to that of a blacant bidder for honors hich he had lost the power to wear.

That was Joe Fielden, the pug. - He had been preparing to be genial with the help .of some Franklin street booze shops and had rather overdone it. When within a stone’s throw of the rendezyous he met a lamp post. The latter was obdurate and dechned to be walked around or over. It persisted in keeping in front of the gemtleman until he hailed a bobby to take it away, but instead the bobby took Joe. Thus was his fow of geniality lost to Count Spratta’s reception.

She wore sable gloyes, Her other extremitics were also clothed in bluck with lemon dots, and were fully as conspicuous as her fifteen-button gloves. | The ladies from the upper end of Custom House street were attred with all disre- gard of taste or magnificence. One well de- eloped relic of antebellum times was ar in a dress of dark red Rampart street s with the oldest kind of old gold satin sleey A border a foot wide around the bottom of the skirt and an Elizabethan collar that rose above her head behind, of the same material; bronze slippers completed this very notable costume.
