The nowest thing in pugilism is the fact that the World's fair city announces itself as a rival of New Orleans und Coney Island That is Chicago is to have a huge amphitheater and fighting arena out alongside that other high-toned and lovely institution, Roby, the sure thing race course. It has. been given out that this mammoth structure is to be modeled after New Orleans' Whito Ele- phant—the Crescent City club's fistic pavil- lion, only that it is to be on a still more elaborate and extensive basis, and will be all complete and ready for the iitial punching saturnalia Saturday evening, June 10, when Buffalo Costello and Billy Woods will meet in a finish battle for $3,000, and Tommy Ryan and Danny Needham in a ten round go us a curtain raiser. Just who is at the head of this new pro- Ject is not generally understood, but Domi- nick O'Malley, the jovial New Orleans sport and chief detective, is a moving spirit, and 1t is quite probable that several other south- ern gentlemen with pugilistic predilections are to rgure in the combination. It wouldn't surprise me one whit, when 1 go over theve, to meei Charlie Noel and Joe Spohrl some where in the vicinity of the Roby arena. Of course there will be a regiment—more of less—of Chicago capitalists in the deal, for if there is a st of men on earth who appre- clate a good thing when they run up against it, it is these Windy city ducks. No outside es would be allowed to_enter the con- nes of this Eldorado and engineor such a snap without the local luminaries stand “‘in and in’' as the gams have it. Colonel Hank Varnell disclaims any propinquity, ‘whatever, to the oeaterprise, and the same can bo said of Mayor Harrison. ol George Siler, Chi- cago's journalist-pugilistico, however, is “to be the ofticial refegee, with Louis Na- poleon Houseman of the Inter Ocean as match mo .

But all levify aside, the project, if it can be brought to a successful issue, and [ would like some one to _tell me what they can't do in cago, will surely be a colossal money maker. Chicago has a bigger element with pugilistic tendencies than any city in the world, and with the thousands and tens of thousands of strangers who will swarm there this year a failure in this peculiar and questionable line of amusement seers likean impossibility. That everything has been “'squared” is evident in the fact of the con- struction of this immense arena at Roby and the big list of attractions already booked. Among the latter may be mentioned Johnny Grifin_and Solly = Smith _ for $5,000 in July, Tommy’ Ryan and George Dawson for a similar purse in August, beside a half dozen matches be- tween men of lesser note, and I wish to make & prediction right here: 1f Charlie Mitchell and Jim Corbett meet for the championship of the world in December, the battle will take place in the arena of the Columbian club.

Clem TOMMY RYAN. Apropos of the above I was talking to a Chicago traveling man only yesterday about Ryan and Dawsou's coming fight, and, by the way, this same gentleman is no mean boxer himself and one of the best posted men in the country. He said; “If ever a man had a cinch it is Ryan, but, mind you, I judge simply from what I saw of m in his six-round meet with Dawson over In Chicago. None of the local papers did the boy justice and for some reason or other seem sore on him. The truth of the matter Is he had the Australian almost knocked out in the third round. He was down on the floor eight seconds. Tommy gave him two square knock downs and had his nose and mouth and one eye bleeding badly. He gaye him just such a punching for six rounds as he did Jack Wilkes down at South Omaha a yearor two ago. You know I was on the stage with you, [f he had had a little more time he would have shuv both his eyes. And a funny thing about the affair, 10o, was that Dawson fought very much like Wilkes; he rushed Tom like a mad bull, but he couldn't find him. 1 tell you I think that man Ryan one of the wonders of the modern ring." The Sioux City sports are to have a picnic this afternoon, Providence smiling. They are going to get aboard a steamer, along with Billy O'Donuell, their featherweight pride, and George Stout,the Omaha Kid, and steam up the Big Muddy to an island a fow miles above the city, and determine once and for all which of the two is the best man. They are to contest for $300 a side, and & rattling mill is a foregone conclusion. O'Don- vell, who fought an eighty-one round draw with Danny Daly a few months ago, is much more than mediocre. He is a staunch, cun ning little mug, and puts up a vicious article 1saw him whippea once by a man thirty pounds heavier and fully threo inches taller, after having the battle well in haud, but only by reason of u foul, And I picked him then for a winner whenever he t on ancqual match, In Stout he has this, ut such good reports have come from the Kid that 1 will wait until the fight is over before 1 attempt to tell you who is the best man. In this connection it might be added that Stout and Garduer, the two “Omaha Kids," arc twoseparate and distinet animals, Last weel I ventured the suspicion that they were one and the same, Next Tuesday night before the National porting club, London, Kngland,there will a terrific clash of corrugated antepodian mauleys. It is the night oi the Slavin-Hail fght, and tremendous interest is rife among the sporty Johnny Bulls, for what reason, however, it would be dificult to say. Frank atrick Slavin has became a simon pure ubject of the Queen by acclimatization, but Mke Hall, is anative of Australia. This cause alone, however, would make him the projudicial favorite over Jim, who is looked upon in the light of s foreigner. Still, on form, Slavin would ni{,l: favorite anywhere, and while there is no betting on what, is considered a jug handled match in this country, across they are plaving Patricus at odds of three to one with a liberality that amounts almost to pro- digality. They cannot figurc out by any pro- cess,of mathematics or that rational faculty which distinguishes man from the lower animals, how a gladiator of Jim's “heft” and and peculiar formation can have even the ghost of a show wiih the burly and fer- ruginous limbed Slavin. Aund neither can any one else. But there has been so many hard first ohoice falls during the past twelve months or so, that the wise boys who have been wont to pick the wiuners for other people have become decidedly leary of this sort of J»mgnunica\tlm\ and have learned to rd their reps with more jealous care. E@ca in these days all tips have & proviso & running mate. Let me see. Frank Slavin was astol shot over Peter Jackson, and the Midnight Mars punched his bead off. Jim Corbett sold ot $28 to 8100 agaiost John L. Sullivan, and the Big Fellow was but a school boy in the hands of his master. Denver Ed Smith wasn't worth a mill on the dollar agaiust Joe Goddard, the barrier butoher, and yet © champlou of the silver tields fell like a wel of mud. Aud these aro bui a few of Dick Moore. it is pleasing to note, won his fight with Tom Murray up in St. Paul the other night, although it was a Herculean task. The two men had met twice beforo, a draw each time, but the third, in accord- ance with anclent say-so, proved the charm, and the manly Richard demonstrated that he tiad the best stuff in him. As Dick pulled ow about $1,400 on the night it is quite probablé that he will take in_the World's fair and knock the neck off of sundry bottles of *red top' in the interim There is still another old Omaha_favorito with a fight on, and that is Harry McCoy of Burlington. On the evening of June 9 he fights Billy Layton, whoever Billy Layton for A stake of $2.000. 1f Harry comes ¢ hest he has it up his sleeve for the victor of the Ryan-Dawson contes! ANDY GRIswoLD, TIFE SUMMER TROTTING M Together with the Doings of the Roadster Club and the Pashers on the Lines. Two weeks from Wednesday next the Omaha Gentlemen's Roadster club will in- augurate its first regular trotting mecting, and the prospects are bright for the largest and most successful meeting held in this sce- tion of the country for years. The session is to continue three days—Wednes Thurs day and Friday, June 14, 15 and 16—with four events each afternoon, aggregating in purses 81,5560, On the opening afternoon comes the 3:00 trot for a purse of #400, with a brilliant field of competitors, the 2:20 trot, 2:50 pace and a three-fourths of a mile dash for the vunners, An interesting card indeed.

KEach day should be arked by big crowds, and the business men of the city will do the proper thing if they see that this is the case.

Delegates from the several camps assembled at Forester's hall in Lon- don, Ont., under the conditions of the special act of the Dominjon Parliament creating the Canadian Order of the Woodmen of the World. | The report of the committee on creden s was considered and approved. en commander was requested to sub- code of bylaws prepared by him, were considered section by sec- tion and adopted. The laws are similar to the laws of the sovereign camp, thus secur- ing the uniformity so desirable in all branches of woodcraft. The construction of the disposition of the emergency fund re- quired by the act of Parliament was re- ferred to the secrotary to secure a ruling of the Dominion superintendent as to the neces- sity of placing it in a permanent fund or not. It not the clerk was authorized to climinate this provision from the laws and adjust the same 80 as to make the advance assessment the emergency fund. The limit of age was fixed at 10 to 55, the rates being the same as the sovereign camp. The per | capita tax was fixed at & por annum, A resolution to reimburse the sovereign camp for all money advanced to defray the | expenses of incorporating the head camp provailed unanimously. A resolution was adoptea to effect an ar- rangement, if possible. with the sovereign camp to accept the proceeds of assessments and p the losses to the head camp until the proceeds of one assessment will pay a mum loss in full. The executive coun- instructed to investigate the matter, | and if such an arrangemont can logally b made, the execut council was authorized to make a contract to that effes The laws adopted provide the which ) the rituals, secret work, cte., of the soverchzn camp shall be the ritualistic work of the camps of Woodmen i A per per annum was voted, tor was ordered sent to every membe The following oficers were elected as officers of the head camp to serve until the first biennial meeting in February, 1804: Willism Fuller, H.

The belated lodge man hailed him and requestod a ride, which was promptly given, They drove along fora fow blocks conversing freely, although the new member of the order was a little nerv- ous and had not fully shaken off the uncom- fortable feelings he exverienced as ho re called the troubiesome times through which he had just passed. Coming opposito a sa- loon he suggested that they indulgo in a social glass The driver was sorry to decline, but he had the corpse of a suicide in the wagon and was taking it down to the coroner's and would have to proceed on his way. All the pictured horrors of riding the goat flashed over the memory of the new member, and without a word” of explanation he leaped from the wagon and hurried away in the darkness, He could not stand the strain all in one night of riding a goat and keeping company with a corpse ina jolting old lum- ber wagon.

A Pleturesque Land Grow Where Revolution in the Century for May; women bearing burdens on their heads, their draperics blown into action and their usually strong and beautiful figures accentuated by the gentle trade winds: bathers or washerwomen on the beach, the sunlight glancing from their wet bronzed bodies and coal-black hair, relieved against the deep blue of the sky and reflected in the waters of the lake and the white of the incoming waves: the market places; the hammocks full of naked and sleoping babi the beautiful young girls; the withered and wrinkled crone suel her cigarette as she crouches ove spark of a charcoal five, surrounded by her pots and pans; the islands of tho lake; the voleanoes: the tropical richness of the cultivated country, with its feathery palms and orchids; or the weird, lonesome, gloomy jungle, with its majestic trees and festooned vines, He is a young b ling pincapples; he wears nothing but a breech eloth, Here comes a girl who is a perfect scheme of color, her bronze face, black hair, vellow-white chemise, red rebozo full of quality and her brown skirt and sandals covered with dust.

They are alwa pecting a revolution wnen life is event- ful; but in times of peace the arresting of stray pigs, goats, etc., is about all they have to do.
