LONDON, February 16.-The Empress of
Russia is gradually recovering from the
shock to her mind and nerves, caused by
the Borki disaster. She begins TO go to
balls and appear in public, which she had
not done since the day when she so narrowly
escaped being killed.
A letter from st. Petersburg states on
good authority that the physicians who at
first took despairing view of her case are
now confident that she will recover.

About the Pittsburg Club.

Affairs in the local club are very quiet in
deed. During the last few days Manager Phil
lips has been exceedingly busy forming esti-
mates about next years advertising. He tells
me that there will certainly be a big retrench-
ment in that department of the club next sea-
son. The officials mean to put forth their best
economical efforts this year, with the hope that
the end of the season will find q balance
on the right side. The resolve of the
officials to curtail expenses outside the
players salaries is good one. 1t
cannot but have good infuen ce. Heretofore,
the cry has, been that only the salaries of
players were interfered with when a club was
losing money. Time and time again it has
been stated, when club was financially
embarrassed, "Oh, the players salaries are the
only thing that will be cut down" In many
instances this used to be true, but it seems
that a better, or, at least, a fairer policy has
been inaugurated. When a club is losing, or
not gaining money. players should not always
be the victims. The step of the local club is,
undoubtedly, wise one, even were there no
more IN it than example. PRINGLE.

Some More Illustrations.

1 have referred to the Mace-Goss battle be-
cause in weight the men were pretty evenly
matched, and also to show how very scien-
tific man like Goss was cornered by purely
scientific methods. Mace followed Goss right
into any corner that he might retreat to- To
free himself Goss made a lunge, and broke
past Mace twice or thrice. The latter, how
ever, soon understood the game and about the
fourth time caught Goss just when the latter
was lunging past. McAuliffe displayed no
strategic moves like this and it certainly is a
scientific element. There have also been in
stances where clever little men have success
fully PLAYED a waiting game with big men.
Savers did this often, but his waiting was of
kind that punished and wearied his opponent.
Sayers not only used his feet hut also his fists.
If Myer had been anything like frst-class
man he, too. would have found work for his
fists oftener than he did when running round

lTcAuIiffe Better Than NIyer,

After carefully weighing all the circum-
stances of the battle 1 cannot come to any
other conclusion than believing that McAuliffe
had the better of it all the way through. True,
there was httle on which one could form an
opinion. Although Myer steadfastly acted on
the defensive, apparently too much to be game,
he started out with the intention of keeping
somewhat close to McAuliffe. The latter re-
minded Myer of his presence very forcibly a
few times, and after that Myer kept out of
harms way. McAuliffe became a passionate
aggressor and tine affair simply degenerated
into a contest as to who could run round the
ring longest. If Myers pugilistic methods are
TO keep a man running about the ring for four
or five hours, until he is exhausted, don't see
how he can claim pugilistic victory. If he can
not find the measure of an opponent of equal
weight in four hours sufficiently to make the
semblance of battle, there is a stamp of in
feriOrity about him.

About O'Connor and Gaudaur.

Some time ago called attention to the fact
that the proposed boat race between O'Connor
and Gaudaur at Frisco was a mere gate money
venture. My informant at that time was in
position to know whereof he spoke. The an
nouncement made IN this paper has been fully
verified. The newspapers of San Francisco
have all refused to act as shareholders for the
proposed race, and have also denounced it as
,hippodrome." The stakes, it is claimed, were
to be bogus, and were to have been put up in
newspaper Office a blind. However, the fact
that the Frisco press has acted as above stated
is of great Importance and should be a lesson
TO more public performers than O'Connor and
Gaudaur. 1t is pity that O'Connor, who is
an International champion, should attempt to
tarnish the title by connecting it with a race SO
questionable that impartial newspapers won't
have anything to do with it. 1t is easy to see
that the days of gigantic" hIppodromes
are past and it seems ridiculously
foolish to attempt to hold them
now. 1t would be infinitely better for
everybody concerned if those 'interes ted in

GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OF THE DAY

Undoubtedly the great event of the week
among sporting people has been the battle
between Jack McAulife and Billy Myer
for the lightweight championship of
America. At any time it would have
received considerable national attention;
but occurring at dull period of the year
it has stood prominently out like huge
pyramid in desert Column after column
has been written about it and what has been
written is nothing compared with what has
been said about it. Probably no fstic
encounter for many years has been
SO productive of conflicting opinions as the one
lin question. 1t may also be added that no
battle was ever SO disappointing to the people
who take special interest in fighting matters,
Many of the disappointed people will not even
tolerate the idea that the contest was bona
fide; others claim that there was SO
much money invested on the result
that at the last moment each contestant
was content to quit on even terms. Among
the general public and the press some people
claim that McAuliffe was much the better
man and that Myer was afraid to face him; on
the other hand Myers friends claim that had
the battle continued to finish he would GER
tainly have won. Still another portion of the
public has expressed an opinion, and that is
to the effect that the contest was more of
farce than an earnest battle.

The Amateur Ball Players.

If the opinion of the proverbial oldest inhab-
liant goes for anything at all, may rest as
sured that there never was time during the
existence of Allegheny county when baseball
was SO popular as it is now within the limits
specified. and we needn't for moment doubt
the statements of these old sages, because the
fact is palpably before our eyes daily. We evil
IDENTIFY have reached period in the worlds
history when each successive generation is
more enthusiastic about the national game
than was its predecessor. The very young
men of to-day ale much more enthusiastic
about the game than were the very young men
of a few years ago. So true is this that there
are so many amateur ball clubs in the locality
that organizers don't know what to do with
them. Only four additional clubs are needed
to complete the Allegheny County League,
membership. This may cause an unpleasant
ness, but after all it is easier to prune
dundancy than to force absolute barrenness.
The to some extent. overabundance of clubs
hereabouts speaks well for the locality in
baseball sense. Already an unus ually large
throughout different parts of the country to
play ball next season and the prospects are
that there will be a larger number in 1890.
Regarding tomorrow nights meeting, how
ever, it is to be hoped that whatever the ma
jOrity does will be indorsed in the
concerned. 1t is certain that every
club applying,cannot be admitted to the League,
and it is just as certain that the seasons pros
poets of the applicants are not equal. One
club may be conditioned much better than an
other, and this feature, together with many
rejected clubs will certainly play manly part
by accepting the result with good grace and
promise to help the national game in every
possible and honest way.

contests that are not for stakes would publicly
say so and declare them to be only exhibitions.
If this were done the public would not be
disappointed. 1t may be possible to fool the
pubilc for long time, but as the true inward
ness of things is sure to be learned in the long
run. ana when once the public finds that it has
been duped. depend upon it, victims must be
forthcoming.

Doesn't Look Like n Go,

Despite the fact that Hyam's offer is such a
big one, l am inclined to think that the
contest will not be go. There are
two or three features which, l think,
will tend to prevent Sullivan and jackson,
at least, from participating. The former,
beyond any doubt whatever, is no longer the
Sullivan he used to be- Were he so he could
not earn $4,000 easier than by meeting any
body in the world in four-round contest. His
hackers and friends are net inclined to risk
any more money on him in England or Europe.
Whether the thought be true or not 1t does
exist to the effect that neither Sullivan nor
any other American will get fair treatment in
England for some time TO come. These two
features will prevent Sullivan from crossing
the Atlantic. jackson is in the charge of the
California Athletic Club, and it is not likely
that the members will be disposed to allow him
to 60 TO England for a long time to come.

determined to be the champion, and at the end
of a contest lasting more than four hours
neither is scarcely scratched, and hardly the
worse physically, fail to see that there is much
science in it; at least if there is there certainly
is large quantity of cowardice. The three
essentials of fstic science as it used
to be taught and practised in our school days
were: stop, hit and get away" 1t seems,
however, that the getting away part of these
was the only one fully understood in the Nc
Aulitfe-Myer ring. Not only did they get away,
OF the three essentials was nil, and after all
that is the great part. When this essential is
absent will anybody explain to me how man
or two men can be considered first-clasS Scien-
sion that McAuliffe is not the scientific man we
all expected him to be. His futile efforts to hit
Myer prove beyond doubt that he is not first
class. Myer made it his business to keep out of
harms way and made no secret of the fact, and
McAulife had neither strategem nor force
enough to catch him. Most certainly cleverer
and more tricky men than Myer have been
caught long before four hours expired. Goss
tried the keeping business with Mace, but
the latter simply fooled Goss at his
scores of similar instances on record
The very fact that McAuliffe struck and missed
Myer so often is in itself proof that the former
has much to learn. l may be reminded of the
contest between McAuliffe and Jake Hyams,
and how the former polished off the active lit
tie Englishman. OF course he did is my an
swer, and he did it simply because the condi-
tions in that contest were much different than
in the contest of Wednesday morning. The
fighting ground was smaller, and what is of
more Importance was that Hyams tried to hold
his own until McAuliffe had almost settled
him. Myer did not DO this. Had he done so he
certainly would have been knocked out. Myer
used other tactics and McAuliffe could not
checkmate them.

The Court House.

The citizens of the fouth and fifth
wards held another meeting at BreauX
Bridge Sunday last, which was numer-
Ously- attended. Their object was to
pass resolutions protesting against the
action of the police jury in contracting
for a fireprOof vault to cost 81 800. And
some speeches were made in the interest
of the removal of the seat Of justice from
this town to Breaux Bridge. The citi
zen$ of that section are awaken to their
interests, and the opinions seem to be
pretty unanimous on the court house
question.
Now let the people of this part of the
parish organize and show the people of
the upper part of the parish that there

they will have of it too.
1t is not surprising to see the people Of
Breaux Bridge agitate this question be-
cause they would not have cent to pay
for the transfer. but the people residing
in the parish would have to stand the
burden.
We do not think it necessary to enter
into any discussion on the subject, the
agitators will be eXhau stcd before they
can bring this question before the people.
and when it comes there, it will be time
to show them what can done 10y the low
er part of the parish.
The police jury of this parish has ac-
ted wisely and have acted in the inter-
est of the people of the whole parish
when it contracted for the building of
the FireprOof vault. and no thinking
man who has an idea of the value of the
records of the parish will blame them
for it. They have done what they
thought right, and they have the appro-
baton of people of the parish, notwith-
standing the selfish Indignation meet
ings held at Breaux Bridge.

1t has long been matter of discus
sion in the country parishes whether the
clerk of court has the legal right to
charge jurors % cents for issuing their
warrants. The st. James COur ier calls
the matter to the attention of the grand
jury of that parish, and test case may
now arise that will finally settle the
question. The Courier says:
We ask the members of the grand jury
that will sit next week to examine into a
matter which of late has been the subject
Of great deal of discussion and the
cause Of complaint. We refer to the sys-
tenn of collecting % cents from jurors
for the issuance of their warrants. The
first question to be examined is, the
clerk of court entitled to that amount,
and il he is, should ii he collected from
the juror himself or from the parish. As
it is done now, the collection Of this a.
mount is hardship on the juror, who is
compelled TO neglect his business to at
tend court, is paid 81 per day, out of
which he has sometimes to pay car fare,
has to procure his meals whilst in attend
ance. We are informed that former
Judge of this district decided that this
amount should be paid by the parish.
We are glad to see the police jury agitate
this matter, but we do not think that the
steps taken by that body will tend to
bring relief to the juror. and this We
consider should be the prime considera-
ton in this case.
