a Osubtfu1 story About Paddy Ryan-Jsek

Wild young sons Of rich men not only Of
ton ruin themselves BY riotous excessss, but
frequently carry down with them their associ-
ates as we'll. A favorite fad OF many OF them Ia
the patronage Of sporting men, and II the list
OF pugilists. Jockeys, and such that they have
injured and brought to grief by their patronage
was published, it's length would surprise most
people, as would the amount OF money spent in
30 doing. 1t is commonly reported that fast
young Harvard bloods were responsible for
many Of the disreputable tears that Sullivan
was wont to indulge In. and I have little doubt
that the report is true. Poor Paddy Ryan ia
the last victim OF the rich young mans pat
ronage. 1t seems that he fell In with
one Of the tribe who claims philadelphia
as his homo, in San Francisco. and that they
started of together to have "a good time"
Any old policeman will tell you what that
means. The next morning tho youngster de-
clared that Paddy had borrowed 500 from him
the night before and had him arrested on q
charge OF grand larceny. Paddy admits that
he drank freely during the night. but denies
borrowing 500, or any other sum from his
companion. l never was much OF a believer In
Paddy's pugilistic prowess. and OF course know
nothing Of the merits Of the present case, but
1 w kHOW L huuy VOL, anu from my KNOWLEDGE
OF him I am inclined to discredit the young
mans charge. Ryan is a big. good-nstured
fellow, who is fond Of pleasure and
excitement, but he is neither cunning nor
greedy. In money matters he Is inclined to DO
careless and. like many another. to be gen.
erous before being Just; but ! do not think
him wilfully dishonest. and I hope the sequel
Of this affair will bear out my opinion. Poor
Paddy has PLAYED in bad luck for a long time,
and those who know the many good qualities
OF the man would like to see Dame Fortune
smile on him once moro. Come back to Troy.
Paddy: como back.
The next big event In the sporting world is
the fight between John l.. Sullivan and Charley
