Green has prepared himself at Croll's Gardens, Alameda, and s reported to be in better condition than he has been in any previous battle. Preliminary to the main bout Jimmy Lawlor and “Jack” Kane, twa well-know: local men, will box twenty rounds at 13 pounds. As great interest attaches to the latter bout as there is in the battle be- tween Bean and Green. This will be their ond meeting and will decide who is the tter Kane after twenty rounds of stiff fight- ing a month ago, and as the decision was a close one the club managers decided to match them over again. Both men have trained hard for their bout and are in fine fettle.

The National Athletic Club outbid its only rival, the Columbia Athletic Club, for the Tim Murphy-Al Neill fight. Repre- sentatives of the clubs and fighters met in a downtown resort last night, and sealed bids were opened in their presence. The Columbia Club offered the contestants 70 per cent of the gross receipts, and the Na- tional Club went them 2 per cent better Betsy ‘Barrow | and secured the match.

The Australian middle-weight may enjoy a reputa n on his native heath for skill with his “dukes,” but the sports of this city want tc see him perform before according him their stamp of approval. He may be a second Fitzsimmons, bul even the lanky Cornishman was tried out before he was given the cream of fighters | | to contend against. In justice to the pub- lic the National Club should hold a private exhibition bout between Murphy and some | man in his class. If he proves himself the fighter he is «aid to be he will prove a great drawing card. The public has be- be proved an utter fallure as a fighter. 1)[:"1:\(“” Gibbs will do wisely if he ar- | ranges a private tryout, so that the public can learn whether Murphy is worthy of Neill’s mettle. Sol Levinson, the well-known boxing- | lzlfl\'e maker, last night matched Frank | Rafaell to meet Rufe Turner, the colored | pugilist, before the Stockton Athletic As- | sociation on the 18thof April. Themen have agreed to fight at 133 pounds and weigh in at 5 o'clock. Frank McConnell’s father has written a letter to the Columbia Club in which he thanks the managers for the fair way in which they treated his son before and | after his bout with Neill. Seldom if ever has such a thing oceurred, and it speaks well for the club’'s manner of doing busi- ness. “Biddy” Bishop, manager of “Young Peter Jackson,” writes the sporting editor from Sacramento that his colored protege is training conscientiously for his fight with Purcell and will surely defeat him. He is doing his work at the Sacramento | Club's gymnasium, where the bout will take place. ; Gus Abercrom- | Lavender; J names Traller ve.

Handicap. R AT Large Attendance Reopening Day at Oakland—Four Choices Earned Brackets—Monrovia Beat Pat Morrissey. oA The Golden Gate handicap over one mile and a furlong furnished quite a digestible morsel to racegoers at the Oakland track yesterday. It not only resulted in a pretty finish, but left an uncertain flavor in the mouth of one owner which terminated later in a match race. Andrisa, the spruce three-year-old from the stable of Walter Jennings, carrying 100 pounds, at first ruled favorite, but when a bundle of coin went in on the Shields & Car- ruthers pair, Advance Guard and Zoro- aster, they closed slight choices. Of the others Rosormonde carried some backing. Just as expected Henry took Andrisa out in front from the start. Rosormonde trailed her for quite a plece and then gave it up. Entering the stretch the leader still galloped along as if the pace was only a warming up trial, with Advance Guard moving up under a wet sail and Piggott hard at work. Below the paddock Andrisa for the first time showed signs of tiring and Advance Guard drew up on equal terms. She did not give up without an effort, but the colt proved ! more than her equal, winning cleverly the last few yards in 1:03%, an excellent per- formance. Zoroaster was third. Walter Jennings, trainer of Andrisa, apgenred nettled over the filly’s defeat and offered to match her against the win- ner under the same conditions for $500 a side. Alex Shields accepted and the pair will meet on Tuesday of next week, the association adding $700. Favorites showed better form than at Tanforan, taking all but two of the events run.

FLAT RACING SEASON OPENS IN ENGLAND Sloan, Martin and the Two Reiffs to Have Many Mounts. Presence of the American Jockeys Lends Interest to the Meet and Their Performances Are Closely Watched. SO S LONDON, March 2.—The flat racing season opened to-day at Lincoln. The ‘Wweather was cold. The presence of Sloan, Martin and the two Reiffs, Lester and Johnny, and the fact that they were en- gaged for most of the races of the meet- ing and were to ride promising sprinters added interest and gave international flavor to the sport. The first race of the meeting was the Trial plate and was secured by Johnny Relff in somewhat hollow fashion, his mount winning by three lengths. The horse ridden by his brother Lester fin- ished third. The resuilt in detall was: W. T. Robinson's Portiers, three years old, won; Ernest Dredden’s Jocose, three years old, second; J. A. Drake’s Good- rich, 4 years old, third. Seven horses ran. Jocose 5 to 1 against, Goodrich 5 to 3 ainst. etween the first and second races there was a sudden change in the weather an the race for the Carholme selling plate was carried out in a blinding snowstorm, | through which little could be seen of th race. Lester Reiff, mounted on Stuck Up, was third in a field of sixteen. Dark " was the winner. v Sloan did not ride in any of the races, as he had to fo to London on business, but he will be in the saddle to-morrow. Beyond Johnny Reiff's victory in the first event the American jockeys did not score any wins, but Martin finished third twice in flelds of twelve and thirteen horses respectively, while Lester Reiff took another third place in the last race of the day. Sloan, Nrudn and both of the Reiffs will ride in the Lincolnshire handicap to-mor- Tow. Under the new rule the race for the Lathwell stakes for two-year-olds, run to- day, was started by the Gray machine. The horses did not mind the gate and an excellent start was effected. CONQUEROR IN A GALLOP. Captures Turf Congress Stake at Ax- kansas Club’s Opening. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., March 26.—The first day of the Arkansas Jockey Club’'s spring meeting drew a large attendance. The weather was spring-like and the track fair. The principal event on the card was the Turf Congress stakes at one mile, worth $770 to the winner. There were but three starters and the event was little more than an exercise gallop fo The Conqueror, who l!eo't off in tron{ an was never headed. ults: Six furlongs—Dutch Comedian won, Martin Duke second, Her Favor third.
