The New York Sportsman has the
following item among its Echoes OF
the Day"
The Football Club has been unfor
tunate, the weather being such as to
prevent their practicing. Still, if the
weather keeps fine, another week will
probably see them in full swing.
By-the-bye, Dagworth, do not let
the Rovers Cricket Club die for want
of organization, or what will the Los
Angeles Cricket Club do for oppo-
nents during the coming season?
There is no more enthusiastic pro-
| moter of sport in Southern California
than my industrious confrere OF the
Tribune, and now he is organizing a
Quot Club. The mere the merrier.
Let every branch Of sport be repre-
sented in the Southern metropolis.
"From California comes news of a
Suburban book in San Francisco, but
the transactions quoted look very
misty. That G. ii. Todd has been
already backed to win 100000, after
being in the sale list, looks like a
ghost story
There is rumor to the effect that
HI. NJ. johnson is on his way to Cali
fornia. Should he ever get here, we
may expect big race between him
and Bethuna, as there is bad blood
between them and the question of
superiority is a mooted point.
Winning has a peculiar effect on
some sports. The Cincinnati tourist,
after making big winning on Lucy
Johnson last Thursday, was found in
well-known Main street saloon,
time A. NJ, setting his watch by the
automatic weighing-machine.
The Eastern papers are enquiring
as to the identity Of Hart, who ran
Bethune 100 yards in Los Angeles
and was only beaten four feet in 91s
seconds | wish | could inform
them, but should very much like to
know myself. Can anyone inform
me?
AS Mr.. Henry Schwartz, of Schwartz
& Co., the biggest bookmakers in San
Francisco, happened to be in this
city, called upon him for an expla-
nation of what certainly seemed an
exaggeration, He informs me that
the amount is printers error, and
should have been $4,000, and not
100000. G. H. Todd has certainly
been backed for the smaller amount,
as he himself has the greater portion
of it on his own book.
Poor Harry Harwood After ling
ering for four months from the con.
sequences of that fatal fall in the
steeplechase at Washington, death re-
lieved him from further suffering. He
was paralyzed from the hips down,
and at times suffered acutely, but his
mind was clear all the time. He en-
dured his pains with the fortitude Of
a hero, and almost up to the day OF
his death he maintained his interest
in the horse and turf matters. He
died on Friday at his fathers house
in Baltimore, and was buried on Mon
day. ANGLIcE.

1 cannot understand how it is that
the San Francisco sports are so en-
amoured of Petersen's chance in his
coming race with O'Connor. Agentle-
man who recently came down from
the Bay City, and who intends to re-
turn-in time for the race, informs me
that Petersen will be favorite in the
betting, SO much money is there to
back him up North. Petersen has
about as much use for O'Connor as
George Bubear had with Wallace
Ross, and the late contest between
these men showed Ross marked su-
periority to Bubear, although Bubear
was favorite in the betting at to 4
on. l have a very strong suspicion
that O'Connor is a good deal better
man than most people credit him to
be. | should not be at all surprised
if he shows himself to be among the
front rank of oarsmen before the
present year of grace is over.

On going to press we have just re-
ceived news of the Mitchell-Sullivan
contest. Personally l thought Smith
would beat Kilrain, was wrong, as
events proved. l thought Smith
would make a good fight with Sulli-
van. was not right in even this, as
unless there is some great mistake in
the reports received of yesterday IS
fight, Jem Smith would have as easy
a task in defeating Sullivan as he had
a hard one in making a draw with
Jake Kilrain. Does any sporting
man imagine that Charley Mitchell
can defeat Jake Kilrain or Jem Smith,
London prize ring rules? If not, is
there any sporting man to deny Jake
Kilrain's right to the championship
Of America? The championship Of
the world is still open, but 1 fancy
Kilrain would be pretty good favor
ite, were it to be fought out. l, for
one candidly admit that l never for
moment gave Mitchell credit of being
able to stand before Sullivan with the
"raw uns' for ten rounds, 80 much
do we read of the mighty Boston boys
prowess that it seemed a physical i'm
possibility. The event proves other
wise, now that the bubble of a reputa-
ton has been pricked, l sincerely
hope that no other be raised to such
an elevation in the fistic world with
out proving his title to it otherwise
than by engaging in few doubtful
glove fights. The mistake that most
people make is in suppesing that
glove fighting and fighting with bare
fists, london Prize Ring rules, are
0ne and the same thing. They
are entirely different, and
whilst a man may, being a
quick srarer and powerful hitter, be
able to best an opponent with the
gloves in limited number of rounds,
he either lacks the stamina or the
sand, in a contest to finish with
natures weapons, 10 fight MIS- op-
ponent not merely to a standstill but
till exhausted nature refuses to come
to time. How many good men have
fought, who, after having the best of
it for the first few rounds were yet
unable to vanquish their opponent.
This is but another case and, good
glove fighter as Sullivan undoubtedly
is, l for one have always ventured to
doubt his ability as London prize
ring fighter and events have proved
my Judgment to be correct. Mr..
George H. Clarkson thought that
Mitchell would be beaten in something
under three minutes and does not
know what to make of it.
Mr.. I. Goldtree thought that Nit
chell would make good show, but is
surprised that he had the best of it.
Mr.. II. T. Pc'., ,,o, .r,
Ivan could hardly have received fair
play or he would certainly have
knocked out man SO much smaller
than himself.
Mr.. M. Cohen thinks that Jake Kill
rain can knock either of them out in
thirty rounds.
Mr.. +. j. Philips is glad to hear
that Charley Mitchell made such a
good showing, for old acquaintance
sake, and is willing to bet five thous-
and dollars that Kilrain can do Sulli-
van.
Mr.. L. Willis always said that if a
man could be found to stand up before
Sullivan for six rounds, the Boston
man would tire OF trying to knock him
out and would show the white feather
Mr.. f. Gregory thinks that Mitchell
is game little fighter and that Sulli-
van will have all his work cut out
ever to best him.

The thirty mile three cornered con-
test had to be postponed on account
of the imclemency of the weather.
It is DOW set to be run on Wednesday
next, the 14th inst, and as every
effort is being made to get the track
into the best possible condition 1t is
almost certain that the record will be
beaten. It will be great event in
the racing history OF Southern Cali
fornia shculd the winner beat the
record on this occasion, and vast
amount of money depends on the
issue, one wager which has come
under my personal notice being
level five hundred dollars bet by
Cincinnati sporting man at present
staying in this city, that the record
will be beaten two minutes or better.
The other end was taken by we'll
known Philadelphia bookmaker, and
if the present weather continues he
may have a little the best OF the
transaction. Still from an inspection
yesterday it seems very likely that
the track will have assumed it's nor
NAL condition by the time the race is
run and if the sun will only favor US
with its presence between now and
Wednesday, predict the largest at
tendance that has ever been seen on
the Los Angeles race track, as no one
with any pretensions to sporting pro-
clivities can afford to miss such an
exciting and interesting contest.

A Most Amusing Experience.

A Chicago lady who recently went east with a little niece whom she was taking to school met with a most amusing experience on the train en route. Somewhere down in New York state a short, fat man, with pe- culiar looking eye, entered the car and took a seat directly opposite the lady and her little charge The little one surveyed him closely for few moments, and then, turning to her aunt, she whispered: "Auntie, that's Ben Butler" The lady had not taken any particular notice of the new passenger, but at this she looked over at him, and in an in stant recognized him., as the little girl had from the familiar caricatures of tho illus trated papers. In Q few moments he drew forth crumpled bit of paper, and then be- gan search through all of his pockets for 6 pencil with which to jot down something that had just occurred to him.
 Seeing that his search was fruitless, the lady leaned over and offered him her pencil He took it with polite acknowledgement, he returned the pencil with polite bow and smile For few moments his mind ap- peared to be occupied with something, and then he seemed to recover himself again. Plumbing in the pocket of his overcoat, he drew forth a small package and passed it over to the lady with pleasant nod She hesitated moment, then accepted the offer | ing and found, to her amused surprise that it was fresh package of Yucatan chewing | gum. That MT. Butler had good supply oi | the article was evident to her from the wig | orous working of his jaws, and she appre
 ciated his effort to recognize her kindness i1
 loaning him her pencil.-Chicago Herald.

Ensland's So Called 'sNava1 Reserves

This, from The London Telegraph, in re- gard to the value of the naval reserve of yachtsmen and others maintained in Great Britain, should not be taken too seriously by those who are anxious for similar organi- zation on this side of the water, but may give them some hints as to what their ideal ought not to be: t'The so called naval re- serves are paper sailors, who have but tho f1imsiest knowledge of their work, and can- not be counted upon to enlist when time for fighting arrives A naval reserve man very often joins for the sake of bit of gilt lace and the social distinction of forming part of the royal navy. The government at present has no such control over him as suffices to make him competent sailor. The name reserve in his case is misleading; naval amateur would sound more truthful, though perhaps less glorious" The coast guards men, The Telegraph thinks, ''are the nations real fighting reserve, whose hearts of oak, well disciplined minds, and seasoned bodies would we'll maintain the country's naval prestige when put to the test. .'-New York

The Identity of Writers.

In journalism mans thought and fancy are his stock and trade. His name is his trade mark It is the law of life that each man has right to work for himself, and no one should envy his ability to excel those around him. The only way a journalist can legitimately excel is by impressing the su- periority of himself upon the appreciation of the world. Under the present order of things, it is difficult to see how this can be done. Only the journalists immediate friends ever heard of him as journalist. There are of course, many methods of becoming conspic- uous as newspaper man that belong to an entirely different art. While the identity of writers is kept a secret, the ability to write is not just the best talent to command If the writers on the various papers were to begin now and sign their articles, the weed ing out process would have to be put in oper- ation within q month. It would surprise the public to find the best articles in the papers over names that seemed never to have ap. peared in print before. The distinguished names would lose some of their magic.
 It is known that few writers are now permitted to sign their articles. The permis sion is limited to correspondents, people who have become famous in other professions and those who have acquired familiar names by marriage, inheritance or some uniquely notorious action. The actual journalist is denied the privlege-C. M. s. Mcclellan il The Writer

Sleep for the Brainworker,

The best advice, am persuaded, that can be given to brainworker is Ego to bed early and sleep for ten hours" It is true that doc tors are addicted to working at night, but they have the honesty to tell their patients, both in this matter and in feasting flor there is nobody so "imprudent" as your doctor), Do as tell you, not do as do." This cut ting short of sleep is one of the snares in which wo poor literary folk are so often caught and slain. What terrible examples have not seen of it in the noblest and best of us! Shakespeare understood the value of sleep thoroughly, and has written the noblesr praise of it. The worst punishment even his imagination could devise for criminal was that he should "sleep no more" This, be it noted, was not because he had murdered his king and guest (though that, of course, was reprehensible), but because he had murdered sleep itself, very much more serious matter.

Japan has now over 400 miles of railway and 400 more miles are being constructed. All the important cities and towns are con nected with each other by lines of telegraph, and in 1885 more than 2,500000 dispatches were sent. The telegraph system here is under the control of tho government, and its receipts very nearly meet its expenditures.
