The first might of the Columbian clubat Chicago was not exactly a howling success Instead of 12,000 or 15,000 there were but 8,000 in attendance, and of the two events that constituted the evening's card, one was a four-minute “lead pipe” and the othera long-drawn, monotonous “no contest.” In the “curtain raiser,” Joe Goddard, the champion of the Australian silver fields, punched the supreme wadding out of Ken- nody, the man who wanted to fight Sullivan, and in the main event, Billy Woods, the Denver pedestrian, and Buffulo Costello, the champion “drawer” of America, treated the fanning, perspiring and disgusted crowd to 8 rattling good running race. which old George Siler, the referee, chopped off in the fifty-seventh heat and announced ‘‘no con- test."” There Is no galnsaying that Major Siler was eminently correct in the role cut out for him. There is every indication in that square Jaw and severe mouth_ which the major car- ries around with him that he is a wan of the most resolute determination, and when he once makes up his mind it will take some- thing like a profound argument to change it. Ho is not going to be monkeyed with by any faking “stuff” or set of stuffs,” and has taken the right coursoe of convincing all such that this is his inexorable intention. Of course the Columbian made a misstep when it opened up with any attraction but a strictly first cluss one, considering, too, that it would have been as easy as the itch to have started out with almost anybody they saw proper. The woods is fairly overrun with impecunious pugs willing to go into the ring and be hit with a sledge hammer, even for the small end of a reasonable purse, and out of the many the Columbian should have at least selected a quartet for their inaug- ural ceremonies commensurate in ability and attractiveness to the importance of the occasion. But let that p: The experi- ence has been a salutary lesson to the Windy City organization, and mc circumspection will certainly mal their manouve in the to come The next tune they hirve Cos- tello and Woods it should be by the day. P. Jay Donohue, the sporting editor of the New York Recorder, is an eminent author- ity on affairs pugilistic, and one of the newsi- t, most_enterfaining writers in the coun- vhich he could hardly help but be con- ng the almost boundless field he has to glean and garner from. 1t looks to me, how- over, as if . Jayis jolting his reputation for fairness pretiy hard in the animus he evinces toward all' fistic organizations thay are not nurtured somewhere within the ex- tended influence of Gowanus. The Coney Island club appears to be Donohue's micro- cosm, if the expression is permissible, and it is only words of ridicule and censure he has for New Orleans, Chicago or any other aspiring points outside of Judge Newton's jurisdiction. Latterly P.Jay has been fairly sicking Governor Mathews on Dominick O'Malicy and the new Columbian, but thus far Dominick has escaped with the funda- mental basis of his pantaloons intact, and the Columbian continues to staud in undis- turbed serenity out at Roby. Here is what P. Jay had to say a day or two before the Chicago opening: ““Ihere is an old story to the effect that a locomotive cngineer commended a bull for having the piuck to fight the iron horse, but condemnegd the bovine for exhibiting a lack of good sense, and, in the light of recent events, the moral of the story seems to be applicable to one Dominick O'Mali¢y, now of Chicago, but formerly of New Orleans. ' Malley is the head center of an aggrega- tion of sportsmen banded together under th name of the Columbian Athletic club, with headquazters in the Windy City and a club house at Roby, in the Hoosier state, They ropose to run glove contests between prom- nent professionals in the club house, and, ithstanding the fact that Governor Mathews of Indiana has said no! with a frcul big N, Mr. O'Malley and his associates have gone ulong on the lines laid down and announce that the first series of contests will take place Monday night; governor or 10 governc It depends on circumstances whether Mr. O'Malley or Governor Mathews will play the art of the di ed and disgruntled bull, but at this writing it seems to me as if the governor had more than an even chance of repeating the exclamation of locomotive engineer: ‘I like your pluck, but——your aps the town marshal of Rok Jones of North Judson stand for tho game. Perhaps, sheriff of Lako county will go to Ha, after horse thieves, us aid Sheriff Jones when McAuliffe and Myers fought, but will Governor Mathews stand this slap in the face! Ithink not. Past experience with the governor of the Hoosier state has shown that when he sots his 100t down on a thing the number nine brogan generally crushes the thing stepped upon. He isa most posi- tive man, and_if the Costello-Woods battle kes place Monday night at Roby 1 will miss my puess.” y is like nd will the mond Pull off now, . Jay, and give us Indians out hel how for our white alley. We are just as fond of & scrap as you are, Jack MeAuliffe is up lantic this morning, pr have sailed for England on the Majestic yesterday. It is not definitely stated just what Jack is going over for, but 1t is likely for recreation and a fight. "These are hand in-hand ploasures with the gay and_festive Williamsby and with C Mitchell as a chaperone, he will make the welkin sing snatches from all the late operas, If Juck mukes a fight on the other side there is little question but what 1t will be with Dick Burge. Old man Carney is not spoiling for fight, but b it rather said ho is spoiled for a flght. McAuliffe has regretted it ever since that he allowed Burge when he was overhoere to get aw: withowt m strength with him, But the fellow was flguring on too much weight_for Jack, and s0 the thing flzzled: As to Carney, he is probably still sore over his expericnce’ with MeAuliffe and contingent at Revere Beach in 1837, He wot a little of the true Brum- magem medicine there; 1 hard), think any fairminded authority will deny that. It wa a fight for the international lightweight ehampion- ship and $4,000, and there were seventy-four rounds of it, lasting four hours, fifty-eight minutes und fifteen seconds, When the ring was invaded by our Jack's cohorts there fs but little room for controversy but what Jem was getting the bestof it As it was, the ref- eree resigned, the finish was postponed, and the stakes drawn. Time may have oradi- cated from the depths of Carnoy’s thoracie region all the disappointment and malevo. lence against Jack engendered by this opi- sode. He knows too well how that game goes, aud will probably extend the hand of fi::d fellowship, mstead of a knotted fist, to Auliffe when he lands.

Thero was no ot! alternative for Stanton; it was the o or walk back to England, and as {t is such a long way 'round, Abbott wisely took on Mr. Bowen, If defeats Andy’ there may be a chance for @go with Jack yet. There is no certaiuty, though, that the Briton can turn this trick. Bo:un 1s made out of pretty good stuff himself. He whinped Bil yer once and made a draw with him suother time, or the result was equivalent to 8 draw, and for the last tweivo months has wou a Buwber of m good fights. Abbott, M course, is somie! of an euigma to the fancy on this side. Ho has shown up toler- ably well, with an exception or two, in his limitea bouts and there may be more to him than is now generally supposed. In talking about Bowen some time ago P. Jay said: “When I call Andy ‘Bowing Bowen,' I am moved to do so because of the little creole’s actions in_the ring. To those who see Bowen for the first time his actions are most laughable. If he knocks down an opponent or scores a staggering blow he almost invariably refuses to follow up his advantage. The glory of landing the punch seems to satisfy him and he retires o the center of the ring and bows to the ‘assem- bled mnultitude.’ His desire to show how he would bow if presonted to the Princess Eulalia almost cansed nim to lose his ba ckers money in his second fight with Myers, when, after knocking Billy to the r Andy re- tired to make his bow, and, while courtes, ing, got a right-handed smash that caused him to make a grand salaam.” The Conoy Island club is in somewhat of a quandary over the meet they had scheduled potween Jack Dompsey and Billy Smith, and in discussing the situation Macon McCor- mick says,among many other excellent things in the New York Advertiser of Sunday last: “As I write we are in the dark a: whether Jack Dempsey will box Billy at Coney Island or will not. The Conoy Island folks are reposing confidence that he will in the fact that he has never heretofore broken his word. Jack has many friends here who would hate to see him licked again, and for that reason they would sooner seo him_tackle Billy McCarthy than Smith, I would prefer to see himretire from the ring altogether.” The Sioux City club is entorprising 1if nothing clse. Last Tuesday they signed Jack Davis, the ex-Omahog, and Jack Dows for a finish fight for $1,000, July 2 men to weigh in o at 100 Dows, they say, is from phi y are mistaken by about 1,000 miles, Dowsis an Omaha man, and an unwise one, too, I'm thinking. 1 saw him fight twice, and licked just so many times, once by Davis himself, and again by Prof. Jim Hightoy Dows {s a pretty nice sort of a chap, gencrally, but 1o sort of a match for Davis.

R. Buchanan of the Elkhorn, weat to West Poiut last week to try con- clusions with the black bass said to inhabit the lakes of Cuming county. Mr. Buchanan, who is an ardent democt had been informed by a republican fri that large creels of s were being taken out of the lakes in the immediate vicinity of the pretty, restful county seatof Cuming, West Point. But with a suspivion born of the party of which he 1s a distinguished repre- ative, General Buchanan was not en- tic in praiso of the fishing resorts of the county and intimated that should wo go it would be at our own risk because ‘ropub- licans, as a rule, were not to be regarded as truth repositories,” which, by the way, is another story, and the general is of the house of the bourbons. Armed with lette of the ci in of introduction to the Fred Sonuenschein vernacular of West Valentine, we found a weleome that was royal inits nabure and were treated to a day’s outing among the bluck bass ‘of Cuming county that quite dfsiliu- sioned_any thoughts that may have com through General Buchanan's' pessimistic views regarding our likelihood of catching anything “‘except colds.

Across the ce of the lake the dawn in painting in lighter tones the deep hues of the blue-green water, The decpening lights and fading shadows bring to sight the many hidden beauties of the scene and make one reverent in the majestic presence of this manifestation of nature, Down there wuder the beetling brow of an old tree, behold a sight that sends the sport- ing blood coursing through one's veins! The deepening, glowing blue of the eastern sky now slants into the depths, bringing the fiuny tribes responsive from their haunts to seek food where nature casts it from the winds.

SNYDER, Trout Fishing in Nebraska. Brokex Bow, Neb.—I do not think itis generally known that there isa little—a very little—good trout fishing in Nebraska, writes C. P. Hubbard of Broken Bow, in the Forost and Stream. At least, I was not aware of the fact until a month ago. A business matter called me into the northern part of the state. At Ainsworth, the county seat of Brown county, on the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley railroad, I found myself under the necessity of driving to Bassett, the county seat of the adjoining county. In conversa- tion with the driver the subject of fish came up and he informed me that at Long Pino some very flne trout fishing could be had. On my expressing incredulity that there were any brook trout in Ne- braska, he admitted that they might bo pike or pickerel, he wasn't sure, and 1 dismissed the subject from my mind. However, when we crassed Long Pine creek the appo of the water and surroundings revived my interest, and when a fine half-pound trout, nicely flanked, was placed before my plate at the dinner table at Long Pine, my doubts all vanished, and nothing short of a dire dis- aster could have kept me from going back to Long Pine that evening, At the railroad cating house alarge tank crowded with eastern and rainbow trout confirmed both cars and appetite, and 1 made hasty proparations for a half-day's fishing the fol- lowing morning.

There is every promise that this splendid gallop will be witnessed by MO people, if such an enormous crowd can obtain points of vautage from which to view the same. Besides this it contains all the racing and betting rules, scale of weights, racing diary and numerous other interesting and instructive matters.

On the north fork of the Platte river, with the blue mountains of Colorado in sight to the west, we made camp one afternoon at an earlicr hour than usual, says the Detroit Free Pross. By and by, in our knocking arvound for fire wood, one of the men brought in a piece of board which was rotted at onc end, as if it had been in the ground. “Whar'd ye git it?” queried Old Bill, who was by all odds the roughest,tough- est and most uncouth man in the party, and whom no man had over heard speak a kind word to any living thing. “Over there,” was the reply, as the man addressed pointed over hiss Some of us followed Old Bill to the spot. There was a grave there—the grave of a child. We found it only after the dead grass and weeds of a dozen win- ters, perhaps, had been cleared away. The board had stood at its head once how long ago it was placed there no one could sa; Some emigrant vrain had halted just here, and some emi- grant's child had bre: its last. They had dug a grave for it in this deso- late spot, heaped stones over the fresh earth that the wolves might not un the little form, and the grief-st father had marked the spot as best he could. No knife had touched the board. The emigrant train would not wait for that. We looked it over and over and brushed away the stains and the mildew, but there was neither date nor name. Of what use I'or every mile of the old trails to the far west there is a nameless and forgotten grave, remembered only by God.” “What are you going to do?” So we asked of the “rough old man as he returned to the wagon for a shovel, He made no reply, but used the shovel to heap up the sunken grave and put down the earth, There were vines and flowers growing near. He transplanted until the fresh earth was almost hidden from sight, and he carried water from the river to give them root. After sup- per, as wesmoked and talked, he brought from his wagon a thick board and spent his hours in cutting the epi- apl Kippling BERRIED BODYS CHILD, HERE LIZE B . N And before he slept he had the head- board in place, and as we drove away next morning he lingered for half an hour to bring more water and perhaps to utter a prayer for the repose of the dead. . ——me In England 130,000 velocipedes are turned out annually.
