While Dixon is the greatest of all the featherweights he is one of the lucklest of all fighters.

Here are two men who stand the best chance of defeating the champion, but neither can get at him—Griffo because he has no right to ask it and Plimmer because Dixon Is afrald of him on equal terms. These facts are hard to get round. No s ible man blames Dixon, however. The stuff is para- mount to all 'things in this life, and he Is out for what-he can get of it. And again [ say He has been a wonderfully lucky chap. He has won a slew of battles, mostly over casy: marks, and won a pot of money in avery instance.

Mysterlous Billy Smith got a go on. Next he and Ed Butler A letter from a friend in Australia gives the particulars of the death of Harry Laing, the fighter that so soundly thrashed big Joe Goddard in February last. After the fight in question Billy Madden made a contract with Laing by cable to come to this count and he was enroute here when he met with the accident that caused his death. A short way out of Melbourne he got off the cars at ‘an eating station for refreshments. In attempting to board the train, twenty min- (utes. later, after it had gotten well under headway, he lost his balance and was mangled beneath the wheels. He lived an hour or two after being hurt. Laing, from reports, was really a promising man, and would have created a furore on this side. He was not overburdened with scfence, but Was as strong as a horse and as resolute es a lion. I am In receipt of the Gallgnani Messen- ger of May 13, published at 224 Rue De Rivoli, Paris, from my old and esteemed friend, Jim J. Corbatt. It jcontains a graphic acceunt of the American champ'on's first appearance at the Folles-Bergere, and as Jim has been thoughtful enough to r member me, I am induced to reproduce it here. Here it Is: “Everybody who s and American circles in Parls, rench fashionable as well as sporting World, was present to see James J. Corbett, the world’s champion boxer, who performed at the Folles-Bergere last night. Prices were doubled before the salo of seats began, but this had not the slightest effect on the throng, which poured into the old building n a steady stream from before 8 o'clock till almost the time set for the gladiator to appear. Every box, every possible seat was taken, and the faces of the rich and fashionable seen in the “‘promenoirs” gener- ally glven up to the demi-mondanes and their victims proves the incapacity of the establishment to accommodate the athletic enthuslasts in Paris just now. It was a splendid success. “At a little after 11 o'clock the big hall grew suddenly dark, as it used to for the eerpentine dance, of which La Lole Fuller made such & la ting attraction. Then a flash of the focussed beams of the great electric lights, and the scene revealed the mighty boxer clad in his atheletic costume before a punching ball, hung from a platform, within the supports of which he stood. Corbett wore a flesh-colored sleeveless shirt of light ellk, drab kneo breeches, which outlined perfectly his supple legs, supported by a belt in the three colors which, put on in one way, indieate to an American all sorts of patriotic things connected with the ‘red, white and blue,’ and which, reversed, could have been a conipliment to the admirers of the tricolor of Franc “Phe music played a slow waltz.

When he met Charlie Mitchell he told one of his best friends, a well known American resident of Paris who was present last night, he didn't expect to win In less than a dozen rounds As it was he became uncontrollable in that battle and all but finished the fight in the first round. When Corbett faced Donaldson Jast night the tiger was there, but it was playful, good tempered animal, who dealt little love taps with carefully cushioned claws, only letting those weapons get out of thelr sheaths now and then as it were when, for instance, he dealt, just to show what he conld do, a serles of three or four lightning blows so suddenly, so effectively, and in such quick succession that it would really have been difficult to tell which hand dealt them which places were landed on first and how it was possibly done at all.

The champion’s ducking and dodging were greatly admired. It was a revelation of speed and skill, and the English people in the audience who have never seen boxing oped in America were foud in their praises. At the end applause and recalls.” SANDY GRISWOLD. vanished, and In The Briggs Trotting Meet. The trotting and pacing meeting under the management of Clinton H. Briggs at Union Park, across the river, June 26, 27 and 28, promises to be one of the most successful turf events ever held in this section of the country. Lovers of the sport, both in this city and the Bluffs, where Mr. Briggs is decidedly pppular, will vie with each other in their efforts to make the three day se sion most pleasant and popular. The horse- men, too, throughout Nebraska, lowa, Mis- souri and Kansas will unite in an attempt to the Briggs meeting surpass if not eclipse all similar events held here within the past dozen years. Already the field of horses-entered is very large, and every mail brings in additional entries, until it looks as if the accommo- dations of the park would be severely taxed. Among the horses already booked are numbered the very best in the western cireuit, and three days of rare sport is more than assured. That there will be neither cause for grumbling or complaint, Mr. Briggs has arranged a most attractive pro- gram, embracing the best kind of money, With " liberal 4nducements otherwise. Al trotting borse men are acquainted with the prospector, and know full well that every pledge he makes will be fulfilled to the let- t To assist him in handling the affair Mr. Briggs has secured the services of W. P McNalr, whose ability in supervising race affairs is recognized on all hands. He will have the management of all the details, which is guaranty enough to horsemen that interests will be scrupulou sub- served. A splendid congregation of fine horses, fast time, sure purses and tre- mendous crowds will certainly be the fea- tures of this meeting. Taere is but little chance ~ for fallure with B at the head of the ente: and everybody interested in such matters will lend ‘every effort to insure his abundant success, The entries wiil close June 23, and no bar' will be made against time made since June 1.

Briggs trotting meeting, which comes off at Union park on the 26th, 27th and 28th, will be the most successful meeting ever held in this part of the west. Besides one of the largest and handsomest flelds of horses that was ever entered here, there will be a number of extra attractions that will almost equal the meeting itself in point of magnetism and interest. Chief of these will be “Alix, the Queen of the Trotting World,” who will do an exhibition mile between the first and second events, on the first day, Tuesday, the 26th. When Alix was shown at Washington park there were 20,000 people on the grounds, and fully twice that number witnessed her wonderful race two days later. Alix has made the fastest mile in a race of any mare or gelding in the world, 2:07%, and the only horse that has ever beaten her mile in a race Is the great stallion Directum, who’ may also be here at the meeting, as well as Flying Jib and a number of other great ones. have Crotting World, Whisperings of the W heel.

Proulx especlally did well; he made better showing than any of the focal mén and much better than dozeas of Others who entered in the event. He finished four- teenth from the six-minute mark, riding over the cou in 56 minutes and 49 seconds. Proulx has the stuff in him for a first class road man. He is undoubtedly-the speediest road.man in this neck o' the woofls. Cudahy, from the four-minute mark, finished 100th. Flescher rode in the Kansas City road race, finishing in twentieth place.

Livesey of the Omaha Wheel club have returned from a wheel trip to St. Joseph, Mo., a wheel trip that was remarkable in several w: princi- pally for the good time made and the ease with which the riders made the trip. They started at 2 o’clock sharp Saturday afternoon, June 2, .and riding easily via Council Bluffs, and Pacific Junction reached Hamburg at 8:15 that evening. = The cyclometer regis- tered 621 miles. A stop was made here until 5:15 Sunday morning. Sharply on time the pair set out for St. Joe. The roads be- tween Hamburg and St. Joe were not as good as those encountered at the beginning of the trip. _All day the riders spun along —stopping ouly to eat and drink, and as the hands of the clock pointed to 6:25 that eve- ning they rolled into St. Joe. The cyclometer measured 97% miles. A few mides more were reeled off to complete the century and their ride was at an end. Mr. Perrigo rode a 2l-pound Columbia, which does not show the effects of the hard ride in the least. He had one puncture, which” only took a mo- ment to repair. The time made by the men breaks all records heretofore established over the same course. The cyclometer measured the distance from Omaha to St. Joe as 160% miles, the actual time riding being 19 hours and 30 minutes. A large “turnout” last Sunday was the r sult of the first run in June by the Tourist The first “squad” left at 8 o'clock and the main body at 9. The destination was Papil- lion. The Springfield club also had a run to the same village and the two clubs spent the day quite pleasantly together. After dinner an impromptu race meet was held on the half-mile track just at the edge of town. No entrance fees, no admission fees, no Judges, and a fair sized crowd of spectators. The boys were “in the thing” for amusement and fun and they had it. The results: First race, quarter-mile dash (flying start), won by Johnson of Omaha, Hardy second; time, 37 15 seconds (there were nine starters in this race and all finished In a bunch). Sec- ond race, quarter-mile dash standing start), won by Hardy of Omaha; time, 39 seconds. Third race, half-mile dash standing start), won by Fredericksen; time, 1:20 (eleven starters). Fourth race, quarter-mile slow race one minute limit), won by Walker of Omaha; time, 59 seconds. Fifth race, half- mile dash (standing start), won by Ichelweitz of Springfield; time, Sixth race, one- mile handicap (eleven starters), won by Fredericksen of Fremont; tme,”3:04 (from scratch mark); Pegau of Omaha second (from scratch); Burrells of Springfield (400 ds) third. Louis Reichenburg acted as judge and timer, H. K. Smith starter and referee, Messrs. Booth and Walker judges. The club returncd home-at 6 in the evening. The roads were in fine condition, but liberally sprinkled with dust in some stretches. Every one had a good time. Start ta Decoration day have all On the Lake and in the Fleld. Mr. and Mrs. G. A.

Simon Kohn of the Kilpatrick-Koch com- pany spent a day at Onawa recently, and reports the fishing excellent. He made a catch of something over 100 cropples. Frank Parmeleé made a big showing at the Knoxville ghoot, winning two second moneys, amounting to $200, and standing third on the general average. The Interstate Fishing club are hard work perfecting their plans for the prote tion of fish at Cut-Off and Manawa lakes They are seriously in earnest, and will shortly have their affairs so arranged that it will be a difficult thing to fish unlawfully in these watcrs and escape the fullest pun- ishment the law allows Reports from the timbered country along the river, both north and south of the city, show that an unusual crop of squirrels are about ready for the harvest.
