We were camped miles away from any railwa, ation, among the barren sand- hills of Lugenbeel county, and during the entire two weeks absence but one copy of Tnr Bre reached us, Hence it will require a few days tocateh up with tho times per- taining to affairs handled in this column. As luck would have it, however, there ap- pears to have been but little going on in the punching realm, and the absence of our usual chat may probably add additional zest to that which is to come. In another week I will bave studied up the situation and be incondition, T hope, to again handle the knights ot the knucks with or without gloves as the merits of their several cases may deserve, This week my readers can content themselves with bits of newsy gossip and comment in the shape of correspondence I found awaiting me on my desk. 1 will add, however, that my readers have observed the correctness of my position anent the great international prize fight be- tween Charlie W. mitchell and James J. Corbaty, i. e., that the big mill could never be pulled off in New York. From the tenor of recent proclamations from the mayor of Brooklyn and the sheriff of King's county, it looks s if my predictions were bused upon a pretty solid foundation.

I feel confident that " these gen:lemen will grant me the necessary permission as I stand ace high with them. SANDY GRISWOLD. Norti PrArTE, Oct. 18.—To the Sporting | $ditor of Tme BEE: A well known sporting writer on fistic topics, who persists in writ- lng about *Champion James J. Corvett” and “Charlie” Mitchell, reminds me of a friend of mine who once took a long sea voyage and . in speaking to the first ofticer, addressed \him as' “Mate.” “Gee—s!" exclaimed the indignant mate, “haven’'t] a name as well as you?” Making flesh of one and fish of another in regard to middle names in fighting talk is reposterous. Mitchell’s middle name is eVuuon. In view of the coming contest be- tween “Gentleman” Charles W. Mitchell and Paddy or Jimmy Corbett—to reverse the *usual mode of expression—I inclose you an old time four-round ‘set to” between Mitchell and Joe Dunning in March, 1884, Joe Dunning asserted that he would fight any man in the world, Sullivan preferred ! Maddex offered him $100 if he would stand u[) before Mitchell for four rounds. Dun- ning said he would probably knock Mitchell out and carclessly accepted the offer. He was much bigger than Mitchell, with great square shoulders, immense arms and sledge- hammer fists. Round 1—When the men came up to face each other Mitchell’s perfect fighting form showed to good advantage. Dunning sent out his right viciously at Mitchell. That ‘was the last lead he made. Charlie dodged his head just enough to let the blow pass his left oar, and then drove his left forward. It struck Mr. Dun- ning just above the bread basket. Before he could recover Mitchell's right hand flew up and struck the big man square in the mouth, splittiug his lips and loosening his teeth and starting the blood from his nose. Joe dove forward and was neatly stopped by Charlie, who easily planted an- “other body blow and another face blow on the big man In exact imitation of the two he had led out with. Dunning by this time was pawing the air and gasping frantically. He seemed. to-experience considerable difficulty in holdiug himself in position, and Charlie’s blows came in on him so hard and fast that he was hitting wildly in every direction ex- cept that in which the little KEnglishman stood. Before time was cualled Mitchell struck his big antagonist at least a dozen blows and had not received a singlo thump of couscauence himself. When Dunning came up for the vext round he stood care- fully on his guard. It was evident that at this poinv ne was afraid the little terror would knock him out. Mitchell waited for Dunning o lead off again, but the big one had lenrned by experiente and retrested around the ring. Charlie followed bim up, ‘and then suddenly made a rush, fought him backward toward the stage and hit him an- other blow in the teeth which kuocked the big champion flat on his back. After Dun- ning had recovered from his surprise he arose. Thercupon Charlic jumped at him in and had him completely winded when time was called, ‘When the men came up for the third round Mitchell was fresh. Dunning was pufiing like a grampus. His tights were.covered ‘with blood and he looked savage. He made another rush for hws slighter antagonist. Hegotin a stunning whack on Mitchell's neck and was about to follow it up when Chartie took an mning. The inning con- sisted of one straight right handed blow from the shoulder which lifted his 185- ‘:\md antagonistoff his feot and knocked him ward headlong to the stage! From that time to the end of the round Mitchell badgercd, battered and banged his oppo- _ment just as ho chose, When the men retired to their corners Mr. Dunning looked as though he hud been heading a riot. He movyed Ih:n\‘flf’, while Mitchell was as cheer- ful and as quick as ever. “I'he confusion that reigned in the 'hall now was remarkable. \els were mnae that Charlie would knock Joo gut in the last xund ‘When the men faced each other for ¢ last it was plain that Dunning felt he wus o match for the little Engishman, He fought shy and retreated round the stage togain time. Mitenell pounded him us he vieased during the wholo round, Kvery once ina while Dunning would clinch sav- ogely with Miichell, but Charlie broke away before nis beavy antagonist could carry him down, Mitchell did not succeed in knocking him‘out, but he completely whippea his man. Mitchell was at that time 22, and his weightdid not exceod 145 pounds, Dan Creedon says heightand length do nov amount to much unless there is muscular strength in proportion. Dan says if Bob teeimmons does not exceed 158 pounds uot care, although he is hight %)n is five foet eight). Mitcheli, he has a clear head and understands all the skill and strategems of the ring. Ho has plenty of resources, and n alter his tactics to suit circumstances, ] thstanding all that tas been written ™ by sporting scrivblers about Mitchell being asprinter, o tapper and a piliow-pusher, it will e scen that he has considerable driving power. When & men of his size can * knock o mau down who welgbs forty pounds more thun ki it proves that heis & nob havé good hands, but they are as qond as Corbett’s. *-Jawes {:{" siuid bo could have finisned Sultivan in f the time, but his secouds und advisers 100 him to take Lis time and aim atthe points of John L, such as the neck and bpead baskel, uulil he wus pumped, in o save lue hands, As it was, Jiw in- his right hand 1 the last round in tiug to plaut a finisher on Sullivan's p Jackson, 1 see, indigoantiy depies rewarks atiribuied to ‘“t’: jlluauarlm 5, vegard| sstie ell-Corbett ma{ l‘:wr'h iy concorning the sbulities of his fedow W&m 3he waight Lhat w'i:f-u isan l'lch?u-ur £nd thedr | “‘( R round the neck Lhan Jotin L., and two inches ! Dick Moore, who I have trained for his last ive the eir- larger round the chest, and e . irteen and a cumference of ‘his wrist as | half inches, 1t is questjonable if there is a man in the world whose wrist measures ten inches. Twelvo and a half is a large forearm. A Clydesdale araneht horse that took a first ico at a horse show had tremendous road, flat bones at the fetlocks, and the cir- cumferanee given was twelve inches, an inch and & half smaller than Charlie's wrist. Bosh ! A day or two before Corbett met Sullivan a Corbettite said “he weighed” Gentleman James Jay, “and in his shoes and trousers only he weighed 191 pounds, and that he was in superb condition and would enter the ring sing not less than 188 pounds.” Then his official weight was given out as 178 pounds. Which are we to believe? Corbett, when he read Jackson's measure- ments, said’ Peter had the advant in reach, but, said Jim complacently, “T am heavior than he is and expect to enter tho ring weighing 200 pounds.” (The fighting weight of Big Ben Coun ames Jay said if he conld not. beat ind bag" he did not want anything. itchell,” quoth he, is an imposter, but the public has been a long time in finding it out.” James Jay's alleged reason for taking on Mitchell efore Jackson was because Mitchell was an unde- feated man and the champion of England. Jim's latest concerning Mitehell 18 that he is a more dangerous man to tackle than Sulli- wvan, and thinks the mill 1l probably last forty runds! The gentleman with the up- right hair is rather changeable in his opintons, eh? Although Charlie Mitchell's middle name is Watson, an eastern sporting paper, in speaking of the comiug ‘“mill,” insists in calling Corbett Champion ‘4James Jay,” but declines to call Mitchedl Charles W. Is it only Irish-American pugilists that are to have their middle names in print? 1 suppose the Jems, Jacks and ‘loms ure all gone, as far as they are concerned. How would it do to speak of the coming contest between Charles W. Mitchell and Jimmy Corbett? 1f Corbett does ‘not succeed wirh his ad- vantages in youth, height and weight in beating Matchell it will prove that he is an overrated man und that his conquest of Sullivau, was because the latter's day had gone by, Inotice a paver complains that John L. says in_one town that Corbett will win and in” another that Mitcheil will muke cold meat of Corbett, and attributes John L.s conflicting assertions to a chauge of drinks. Perhaps John L. is hke Charles II. A wit wrote the king's epitaph as follows: ‘Here lies King Charles, on whose word no man relies on, who never said a foolish thing and nover did a wise one.” : Charles‘replied that that was easily ac- counted for, because “His sayings were his own, but his actions were those of his minis- ters."” Probably old Jack Sullivan’s set-spread- eagle-before-the-curtain-speeches are pre- pured for him by his theatrical manager and his private speeches, when in_his cups, come from his heart and are his own. John L. said he is the only 'mun who has fought both men ‘‘and who should have their measure better than me.” He said he knew from experience that Charlie was twice as hard a hitteras Jim and equally as clever. t Peter Jackson evidently feels sore because Mitchell was pulled forward iu place of him- self by the Brady-Corbett outfit and says should Mitchell win he won’t be of the world until he beats bim, to fistic history drawn battles have always been fought out to decide a championship. Corbett's assertion that “the nigzer wants none of my game” is prevosterous. Peter did everything that a mancould to meet him again first. % 3 You gave us the correct tip on the Dixon- Solomon P. fight. According to Tue Bir's report of the F'itz-Hall contest Bob was the aggressor and did the best work all through. Hall asserts he lost it by a fluke. Bob, from his previous performances, fully justifies the confidence of his backers. James Jay would have a tough job to beat him; heis a far harder hitter. and could stand as much punching and has better hands, When Jack Killian atins Jake Kilrain, fought his long draw in France (106 rounds) with Jem Smith, whom Ted Pritchard sub- sequently vanquished in three rounds, a New York illustrated sporting pink sheet flooded his paper with puffs and slobbers of Kilrain such as: ‘Jake 1s King,” “Our Champion Jake,”:*“Jake as Banquo's Ghost Scariig Macbeth Sullivan,” *“Jake Illus- trated, Partaking of Wine with the Marquis of Queensbury,” ete. Should Mitchell win, will he have his paper illustrated with the conguering hero returning as “Bonny Prince Charle,” and the bug pipers playing: ‘“The King Shall Enjoy His Own Again?’ That would not be a whit more ridiculous or exaggerated than the fulsome beslobbering of Juke. Mitchell does not seem to be of & revengeful nature, but it is barely possible that in the near fu ture he may be in a position to give certain parties their aues, A popular American writer of fictlon, who was consul at Liverpool during the adminis- tration of President Pierce, said that dur- ing the four years of his oficial capacity he never encountered.a full blooded American seaman, His test of nationality was the pro- nunciation of the word *‘been.” All born Americans, he said, pronouuced it *'bin,” buy ail Buglish'speaking people elsewbere pro- nounced it as it is spelled, ‘“becn.” Fifty years ago there used to be plenty of Ameri- can ships manned by Yankee sailors, but at the lnte naval rdvievr the papers stated that the Americun men-of-war had nearly all foreign crews, and now comes the astound- ing news that the Vigilant's crew are all Swedes, Norwegians and Danes, and can't spoak Linglish, The ¥alkyrie, although beaten, made the best attempt to recover the cup of any yacht the bold Britons have thus far sent over. The gulhnt Norwegian captain and his sturdy Swedish and Norwegian crew had & narrow escape from being beaten in the Inst race. . Although the Valkyrie split her spinaker at a critical juncturve, the Vigilaut only succeeded in coming in forty seconds ahead. However,a miss is ag good as a mile, as the Britishers promptly owned up. U to dato the Americans have been more success- ful in yachring than In rowing or sculling with the British colonists. nlan, who used to be thought invincible, said Scarle, the Australiun, was the best man who ever sat in'a boat, and in ocean steam navigation the Briton has the pull. However, if it should come to a contest, the Americun, such is his wonderful powers of skill, uranglh, m- genuity and intelligence, must certainly come out first best, let the contest be i any lines ivmay. Will he do this i the coming great international prize fightt . Iwas surprised to learn in reading Mr. | Wakeman’s journeyiugs in Tuz Bz that in the south of Scouland the wooer and author of the immortal “Anne Laurie” was a native of lh&djmrhfll of Carsephairn—my birthplace, a wild and mountalnous district among the hills which divide Kivkudbrightshire from Ayrshive. 1t is a large parish, and the shieep and stock farms are wide apart. Be- fore the lead mines wero discovered, about 1840, sheep were move plentiful than man- kind. My parents were both natives of the adjoining parish of Kells. It appears from Mr, Wakeiwun's researches that the beauti- ful Anue did not marry ber lover, who was a Jucobnte, and had to fly to France on account of being an adherent of the Stuart cause 1n the rebellion of 1715 or 1745, Anne married aivd with about as much poetry in cow, T K.

At the Omaha Wheel club house October 28. We are out for a high old time. The “smoker’” will be a “World's fair smoker,” and we want to have a Midway Plaisance in Omaha, Don't fail to como and bring a friend. Everybody in costume (unmasked) representing any one of the different nations of the carth. Persons in dress suits will be summarily dealt with. A unique voting contest will be one of the features of the en- tertainment, thrown in with plenty of music, literary programme, and last. but not least, refreshmoents for the multitude. Don't fail 1 come and make our first entertainment a howling success. Indeavor to invite friends who will be likely to join the club. Remem- ber, avery member and s muny guests as possible in costume. Come and be one of us. . Mrri, LES 1. Durrie, Committee. Whisperings of the Wheel, Condon and Schnell, Omaha's ropresenta- tive racing men, are home from the various race meets which they have been attending, bringing with them scveral ‘“grips” full of clocks, ete. . The Tourist entertainment committee ar making preparations for the third annual club banquet which oceurs fiext month, and the second annual ball which will also occur during the month, A seriesof “clup, smok- ers” and musicales will also be Inaugurated soon. The funny man on the Pittshirg Bulletin perpetrates the following: Seribbler—This bicycle craze is going to develop a race of novelists. Pedalman—Why? = Scribbler-— Well, I notice that'in many cases the bicycle makes its rider haggard. Does this “daiwn’ upou you? 2w The entertaincent committee of the Omaha ‘Wheel club is making great preparations for the “World’s fair musicale” which will de- light the club men on tho evening of the 28th. The committee will endeavor to have this smoker cclipse any entertainment ever given by the club in the past. Last Sunday was an ideal day for oycling, yet the club men.seemed loth. to take advan- tage of it. A small party of tho Omahas joined with a smaller party of the Gany- medes and pedaled over to Macodonia, Ia. A half dozen of the Tourists made the round trip to Fremont. All report the roads fino and splendid rides, * Various delegations of wheelmen will at- tend the Beth Eden Raptist church this evening at the earnest solicitation, of Rev. Odell, who is an enthusiastic wheelman, The sermon will be delivered espe ly for wheelmen. the title chosen being very sug- gestive—*Headers.” The Ganymedes from Council Bluffs will attend in a body. 7The Omahas and Tourists will alse be repre- sented in goodly numbers. The race for the Tourist Wheelmen club medals narrows to an ending—only one month more and the club's riding scason will be over. Hynes and Sancha are tied for first place. Walker close behii®, for the club mileage medal. Kingsley, Fredrickson, Proulx and balf a dozen others are close to- gether for the special mileage medal offered Sentember 1, 1803, and Barnum and Reichen- bterg are tied for the membership prize offered for the member bringing in the most ne w members. Zummerman and Wheeler, the two shining lights of the two vlasses of racing men, i. e., amateur and professional, are ¢njoying a much needed rest in the balmy atmosphere of the southern cross. A cycling journal comes out in a cartoon, which pictures the two famous cylcists enjoving a sip from the same barrel bearing the suggestive brand— ““Amateur-professional bug juice.” A spigot has been plac n each end and although the worthies partake of ‘the same stuff they draw through’ different faucets. Sefore they started on their trip Zimmerman is said to have confided to a friend, “Harry ‘Wheeler and I are going down to St. Augus- tine for a month. ‘e will take along a bar- rel of good old stuff. Inone end will be a faucet labeled ‘Amateur,’ in the other one labeled ‘Professional.’ The former will be mine and the other Harry's, of course, and neither can drink from the other’s faucet.’ Is this the truth? Canp it be possible that our great amateur racing men are all dipping from the sae barrel? The interest in the “high five" tournament at the Tourist Wheelmen club house has not wavered since the first game, Ivery Thurs- day evening the parlors are orowded and every table has been filled. The first stty games were finished last Thursday evening. The contestants will start . in on the second series next Thursday evening. A special prize wiil be given to the player making the best average for the eovening's play of the game.
