the interest of good sport, common sense
and humanity. The Australians left arm
was broken and his right hand injured.

hand were mi ured and his right hand dis
abled. Frank and his seconds publicly

Billy Dacey, the light weight of New
York. writes from California that that
State is splendid plaza for first class
men like myself" or words to that effect
The cir of the Golden State evidently has
had a tonic influence on Dacey's nerve, if

Childs, the Mississippi officer who went
South with Kilrain, said that Gov. Low
ry's plan is to convict Kilrain and sentence
him to the same punishment as that in
ficted on Sullivan. This will put things
in proper train for the punishment of the
railroad officials who carried the pugilists
TO the fight, and tor whom Gov. Lowry is
cunning especially. Kilrain will then be
released on bail, and as soon IS the rail-
road men are brought 60 time both Sulli-
van and Kilrain will be paTdOned, or the
proceedings against them dropped.-San
Francisco CAL.

hacker of a pugilist, and if Jack McAu-

lad. John l.. thinks Patsy Kerrigsn can
whip any light weight in the world, and
he is willing to back his opinion with
money. He is especially anxious to see
fight for blood between Kerrigan and Nc
Auliffe, and says be will back Kerrigan to
the extent of 81, 500 for such n fight.
