The PRIZE FIGHT, spoken of few weeks
ago, between Matt. Tracy and Bill Blackwood,
will, without doubt, come off on the Sd of jan
uary. The stakes are for $1,000, and the sec
ond deposit was made a day or two ago. Both
the principals are are now undergoing thor
ough training, preparatory to entering the ring.
We are assured there will be "no foolishness"
about this "mill." and those who faint at the
sight or smell of blood had better keep at dis
tance.
RARE SPORT.-We learn that foot race
has been made up between Billy Viol and Yam
kee Adams, for $500 side, to come off at
Hughes race track, week from next Satur-

companies in that place.
RAcINe.---A race for $500 side, comes off

John Halls pinto exit" These nags have a
high reputation, and we shouldn't be surprised
if Long Island time was made. Bet your mon
ey, boss, for one or the other is bound to come
in ahead.
The JAIL.-There is now but one prisoner
in the Nevada county jail--a Chinaman charg-
cd with emitting one of his countrymen-whose

twenty-five occupants.

little ones are now recovering.
