The Ring in New York.

Speclal 10 une GlODe.
New YORK, April notwithstanding
the damper recently thrown upon ring
matters by the action of the Philadelphia
authorities in stopping the proposed Sui
livan-McC Caffrey contest in that city, pro-
fessional boxers throughout the country are
keeping their ''dukes" in working trim, and,
although just at present there is scarcity
of athletic events, the coming month will in
all probability record several set-tos be-
tween pugilists Of wide reputation, one or
more Of which will be very apt to take place
in this city. During the month following
Sullivan and Ryan are booked to come
together, and if by any chance, the meeting
should take place and sufficient
number Of rounds be contested
to make the event interesting, the
glove will very likely enjoy period Of in
creased popularity, such as marked its his
tory after the last battle fought at New Or
leans between these two celebrated pugil-
lists.
An event which promises to bring to-
gether some of the best sparring talent in
the country is a benefit to be rendered the
widow of Joe Goss, at Madison Square gar
den next Friday night. Billy Edwards, the
Old-time light weight, has charge of all al
rangementS, ana says ne Is as much pleased as
surprised at the number of people who are
volunteering their services in memory of
the dead fighter. More than score of
leading boxers, wrestlers and athletes of the
East have thus far rendered their services,
and judging from the present outlook an in
teresting array of talent will be presented.
Tom Jefferson is negotiating for a meet
ing between Frank Glover of Chicago and
n l. 4zI~-
apOlis; and one between Alf Greenfield of
England and Billy Wilson, to come off here.
There is every prospect now of the meetings,
and they will probably take place next
week. Points and endurance will count

where stupendous frauds were perpetrated

vince Commissioner Black that the pension
bureau cannot be conducted without his

CHICAGO, April 19.-''Don't come to
New York until you hear from me again" :"
road telegram received by Paddy Ryan,
Yesterday, from Jimmy Patterson of New
York, one of Ryan's friends and hackers.
What does it mean?" 81 don't know"
said Ryan to your investigator. 'Yester-
day | received telegram from him telling
me it was all right and to come right on.
Saturday packed my grip and was all
ready to start tonight at o'clock, Some
things up, l suppose, but haven't the
slightest idea what it can be. 1t wont
make much difference, though. can train
Just as well in Chicago as in New York, and
the only reason Pm going down at all is be-
cause my hackers want me to. 1 shall
commence training here Monday. Pm
feellng as fresh as lark,
nothing to drink, not drop for over three
weeks, and this is my first cigar" carelessly
sending wreath of light blue smoke cir
cling around his silk tile as he gracefully
knocked the ashes off the tip of a fragrant
Havana. Ryan is looking in excellent
form, fresh, hearty and vigorous. His
flesh, it is not soft and he will train into the
BEST FORM POSSIBLE.
''What will you scale when you step into
the ring?" was asked. '.About two hum
dred pounds, perhaps two hundred and five.
I'd rather be a little too heavy and strong
than trained down too fine. A man can't
do anything when he is weak, and if he
goes to pieces once he never gets his second
wind. Pm going to win this fight. If l
don't, it will be because it's not in me-"
Il wish you all the success in the world
in your fight with Sullivan" interrupted
friend who came in at the moment. A
sentiment that was echoed by crowd of
admirers that had gathered about Ryan.
1--WE no use for going to Jail for mixing in
fight. wouldn't spend six months in
Jail for all the championships and diamond
belts in the world. wouldn't be arrested
now for anything. If were enemies would
all say had arranged the arrest for myself,
so that l wouldn't have to fight. I'm going
to show those fellows what Pm good for"
When Patterson sends for him to go Ryan
will promptly start for the East, but until
that time he will remain and train in the
Garden CITY.

The Maryland Bicycle club has SWIM
ming tank in its new club house.
Canada wheelmen are going to make
tour through Great Britain.
The Toronto Wanderers, the largest CLUB
in the Canadian Wheelmen's association, Is
to withdraw from that organization and en-
ter the League of American Wheelmen.
Henry w. Williams, Esq, a Boston
patent solicitor and president of the Massa-
chusetts Bicycle club, is probably the most
accomplished road-riding wheelman in the
country.
The Louisville Wheel club will mold a
tournament at Louisville, KY, May ~

and cost $1S.
Hendee is in active training and Will
make an attempt at the mile &c rd at
Springfield May 80, On which occasion the
Springfield club will hold a small race
meeting.
The Springfield Bicycle club will give a
tournament in Hampden park, 30th OF May.
The races will be open to all amateurs, eX-
cept the fastest, but the design Of the meet
is chiefly to call the wheelmen of the Con-
necticut valley together, and give the clubs
committee practice in managing races.
In Springfield, ILL.,, suit for 500 dam
ages was brought against Edgar Barnes for
frightening horse with his bicycle, and
verdict for the defendant was rendered, the
court holding that the bicycle is legal
vehicle and entitled to the rights and privi-
leges of the road.
A clerical bicycle tour of Canada during
the present season is being arranged by the

Minneapolis Sports.

The Driving Park association met at the
NicOllet house Saturday night, but owing
to the absence of some of the members who
are ON the committees which have in hand
the matter of arranging for the summer
meeting, an adjournment was had until to-
morrow night at the Nicollet house.
About /, 800 persons visited the Washing
ton rink Saturday night to witness the race
between James Alger, the champion skater
of Minneapolis, and Robert Ehlert, the
champion of Chicago. Ehlert took the
lead at the start and on the twelfth lap he
had gained a quarter of lap, and on the
thirteenth he was so far in the lead that
Alger went out of the race. Ehlert won
the race in 10:94119 minutes. Alger said he
had on new pair of skates he never wore
before, and the wheels clogged so that he
could not continue any longer. On next
Thursday night the great bicycle race be-
tween Bell of this city and Charles Frazier
of New Jersey, for the championship of the
United States, will take place, both using
Star machines.
Manager Whitcomb of the Minneapolis
club received telegram Saturday from
President McKim of the Western league
stating that the league will not take action
ICSdiulllS lHC IeiilDeiSlip OL GIilS Guy
and Keokuk at present. This places the
club in a doubtful position. The 500 en-
trance fee has been collected, the grounds
leased and the contract made for getting in
condition and for fencing, etc., and the
team has been engaged and put in practice.
Mr.. Whitcomb has been at great expense,
and the delay in arranging a schedule seems
almost objectionable. The league should

ball cities in the league. 1t has three large
cities to draw from, namely, Minneapolis,
st. Paul and Saltwater, and the attendance
at games would probably be larger as rule
than in any of the other cities. However,
Manager Whitcomb will not release any of
his players, but will at once enter protest
to the uuaccountable delay.
The lacrosse club is no better organ
lied and is stronger than ever be-
fore. 1t will make a struggle
for the United States championship, held
by the st. Paul club, the coming season.
Col. King is quite enthusiastic over the
coming summer meeting. He is especially
interested in running horses.
J. F. Dormer has accepted challenge
to wrestle Thomas j. Fielding of Chicago
collar and elbow, and to spar him eight
rounds Marquis of Queensbury rules. Both
contests will occur in Weingart's hall on the
East side one week from tomorrow night.
