wailan Islands, was Professor John Donaldson,
the man who boxed with Professor Corbett at the
Grand Opera House some months ago.
Donaldson was seen last evening while con-
versing with Young Mitchell on sporting topics
at the latter's headquarters.
He has changed somewhat In appearance since
last in San Francisco. His face is bronZed from
exposure to a tropical sun, and the incipient
mustache he has "ralsed while in foreign
climes would add to the altractiVeness of an open
and frank countenaDce had II not been tampered
with by a tonsoral artist, who insisted that
black hairs under the nasal appendage would be
far more becoming to the Professor than the
natural red hirsute growth.
WELL RECEIVED.
In Australia Mr.. Donaldson was accorded q
very cheering reception by the sporting fra
ternlty. but seeing that the Colonies were over
run with professors Of all kinds he concluded
that he would accept an offer W hich was made
him at Honolulu Ell route to Melbourne and re-
turned Immediately to the Islands. AT Honolulu
Donaldson taught The manly art Of self-defense
to large class OF pupils and would in all prob
ability have made longer stay in the capital
city of the Islands had he not been called away
TO his home IN Minneapolis on business matters
which demanded his attention. He will remain In
this city until after the Smitll- Carroll fight aud
will then start for his home.

| ANOTHER DIG AT AMERICAN YACHTsMEN.
Dixon Kemp, in the Field of March 22d, has
! still another dig at the owners OF the American
| 7o-tOoter who have challenged the owners of the
| Valkyrie and Yarana He says: LAS we said last
week, it is not a very brave thing TO challenge a
man 10 travel 5000 miles to sail match, and II
| the owners OF the Katrina, Shamrock and tt
tanla desire TO try conclusions with The Ealkyre
they should send their yachts to Cowes, where no
doubt their challenges would not only lie ac-
| cepted by the owner OF the Valkyrie, but by the
| owners OF other yachts as well, should they be
| favored with challenge. 1t Is now twenty
| years since we have had the pleasure of seeing
| an American skipper in charge, in competition
| In our waters, and on that last occasion 1t was
| tie American schooner Sappho, of 400 tons,
! against the British schooner Cambria, 200 tons,
and there was no time allowance. The result, how
| ever, showed that no time allowance then or
| now IN use would have saved the Cambria from
defeat, and we only mention the fact TO Illus
tTate the simplicity OF the conditions. 1t should
| also be mentioned that Mr. w. +. Douglas, a
| New York gentleman, made his challenge in The
| usual way-that is, to sail the match In the
| waters OF the owner challenged. Twenty years
| ago il was almost impossible to make terms
| which were mutually agreeable, because the
yachts OF the two countries, developed by differ
ent rules of rating. were SO widely different and
| the mention OF time allowance would In conse-
| quence start off the eager contestants on six
| months correspondence. All that is changed
| now. Our rating rules are alike and our yachts
are alike-lhat Is, the British yacht has expanded
| In beam, while the American yacht has done The
| same with regard TO depth. Our courses are bet
Ter than those on the coasts OF the United States
aud in common fairness ii is now the turn for The
| American yachtsmen to come here and sail q
| few matches"
Mcleod, the wrestler, thinks that he would be
| better man TO match against Joe Acton than
| the celebrated Jap, who Is now at Seattle.
HORRIBLY CRUSHED.
