TO Fight for Supremacy Next
T'hursdaV Evening.


TO Fight for Supremacy Next
Thursday Evening.
Thursday night, Dec. 2. Billy Wilson.
the rising young st. Paul cOlored pugilist,
and McHenry johnson, better known in the
ring as the ''Black Star" will meet in the
squared circle in the Exposition rink, this
city, for eight rounds with regulation
gloves, Marquis of Queensbury rules to
govern. The set-to will undoubtedly be a
very lively one as it is well known that
Billy Wilson is formidable fighter and the
''Black Star" it is claimed by those who
have seen him at work. is the best man of
color with gloves in the world. He fought
Wilson in New FORK two years and little
more ago and the match was a draw. This
coming together of the men is for the pur-
pose of ascertaining which one is the
master Wilson has been in Chicago dur
ing the past week in training under Tom
Chandler, the well known middle weight
fighter of Illinois. and who will accOmpan y
him here and go behind him Thursday
night. In regard to Wilson the Chicago
Tribune of the Both inst has the following
to say.
Billy Wilson. the colored pugilist who is
matched to fight another colored individual
known as the ''Black STAR at st. Paul Dec.
g is training in this city. He is splendid
specimen of physical development, standing
five feet eleven inches high, admirably pro-
portioned and heavily muscled, and tipping
the beam at 1917 pounds. He is also
very clever with his hands and hits
straight from the shoulder and very quickly.
When stripped he is one of the m Ost fOrmid-
able looking men that ever donned pair of
boxing gloves, and his friends aver that he is
fully as formidable as he looks, possessing
phenomenal strength, remarkable stamina,
sparring ability that few big men can ap-
proach, and plenty of courage and pluck.
He is not wanting in confidence, and promises
to whip every fighter in the country before
he quits. The "Back STAR" whom he is to
meet next week, is man of considerable
reputation.
Wilson is reported to arrive in st. Paul
to-day, accompanied by Chandler. From
private sources it is learned that he is in
SPLENDID shape and will make hard fight
before going to grass.
McHenry johnson. Wilson's antagonist.
is man of splendid physique. possesses
science. a cool head and has wonderfully
long reach. He has fought several hard
battles and won the majority of them. He
has been handled for the coming fight by
Pat Killen, who will go behind him next
Thursday night and it is expected tina; he
will also be seconded by Jack Dempsey,
who will be here if possible. Dempsey is
one of JuhnSon'S most confident hackers,
and he offered to wager $1,000 that the
''Black STAR could whip Cardiff. Who
ever wins the fight will be taken to Austria
liza by Ryan. JohnsOn's manager. for match
with Jackson, the colOred pugiliSt who
lately come to the front by knocking out
Lees, who held the championship of Au-
stralia. Ryan is very confident that john
son will make easy meat of Wilson, and is
wagering his dollars on him freely.

on London Journalism" by A. j.. Robin
son, of the Minneapolis Tribune. This was
the same paper given some time ago before
the Minneapolis Press club, and explains
the various points of difference between
English and American newspaper work.
The English journals being published ex-
clusively for the higher, or educated classes,
their editorials are learned essays, an out
growth of the first attempts at journalism,
the Spectators, Tattlers. etc. The English
greed for foreign news is explained by the
scattered position of the realm and the
large number of foreign wars The absence
of any local department and of the reporter
was explained by the fact that the papers
are for the whole kingdom, where there is
scarcely any local press. After the paper
those present were very Hospitality enter
tanned by Mr.. Smalley, and pleasant hour
was spent in discussing the refreshments
and Mr.. Robinson's paper.
