very near the national capital. The tight,
II is said, is to take place under the aus.
pices Of the virginia Athletic association,
on the Virginia shore Of the Potomac, near
Washington. Some months ago q good
deal of comm Mt was caused by the enact
ment Of Q law by the Virginia Iegisla-
ture which incorporated an athletic
club and gave to the officers Of the
club omnipotent powers as to grounds and
property. It is stated that the club has
purchased the property lying between
Washington and Alexandria, known ss the
Gentlemen's Driving park, and propose to
erect thereon o clubhouse and such other
buildings as may be necessary. The work
Of construction is to commence at once
and the management has announced its In
tention to have the Sullivan jackson fight
take place there. They soy they csn do
this without interference, for the Law
plainly states that no sheriff or police off,
Ger has any jurisdiction over the property
Of the club. The only remedy is the re-
peal Of the Law, and for this purpose a
special session Of the legislature would
have to be called.

San Francisco. which for the last year
has furnished the main pugilistic news for
the country, must now be counted out, as
even the fighters themselves admit that
prize fighting has received its quietus.
There was o large gathering Of dissusted
gladiators at the California Athletic club.
La Blanche and Mitchell were especially
indignant, as they we're to fight soon and
were in the pink of condition. Fitzsim-
ons, the Australian, who 90 easily
whipped Billy MCCARTHY and found
hackers willing to put him against
Dempsey, feels that he has lost Q
golden opportunity to make a fortune in .
few months, IS the California club was
ready to put up a large purse for him.
Peter Jackson is also in trouble, o. his
contract binds him to fight nowhere except
in the California club rooms. Meanwhile
the members Of the California club are re.
signing, twelve having already sent in let
tiers and q score moro will follow. The
directors propose now to test the ordinance
against prize fighting by having two cheap
sluggers contest in the ring, as they can
get no 6rst-ciass men to risk falling into
the hands Of the police.

THE LAKE FRONT WON'T DO.


Worlds Fair Directors Agroe That TAoeo
Must He More Room.
The lake front % . worlds fair site has
been abandoned. So much opposition to
this site developed that IL vas generally
agreed among the directors TO give Il up.
The members OF tho national commission
have been invited to make spersonsl in-
spection OF the various other sites that
have been proposed. In an interview ON
the location, Hon. n. II. DeYoung, one Of
the commissioners from California, and an
ex.commiasioner to the Paris expedition
from America, said:
aIhave not made up my mind % to any
site. But there 10 no question that what
ever ts adopted must be large enough to
accommodate what ne all hope will be the
greatest exposition that the world has ever
witnessed.
Such % exposition cannot be held upon
circumscribed grounds. A space Of $50
acres would be wholly inadequate. At the
centennial exposition We had over 1000
acres, and every one who vent to that one
knew how thoroughly IL was occupied. We
will require enormous buildings for the
American exhibit alone. The machinery
hall must he at least 1900 feet long aud
500 feet wide. The machinery hall at the
Paris exposition wa 1896 feet long
BY $50 feet wide. aud yet this lmmense
building would not contoin tho machinery
sent there for exhibition. They were re.
quired to build sheds.
L see that some Of the advocates Of the
$50 acre site are urging . compact exposi-
ton. I do not know what they mean by il
but q successful exposition must have, in
addition to the necessary buildings, ample
SPACE for gardens, fountains aud immense
restaurants and cafes where the crowd can
be fed. II the average attendance comes
up to what it was in Paris there will be at
least 250,OO persons daily in the exposi-
ton, and whore there are night expositions
the great majority OF this crowd will re-.
main on the grounds and take their dinner
there. To feed such an immense throng
as that it will be necessary to have, as
they did at the Paris exposition, as much
space for restaurants and houses Of enter
tainment as they have buildings for the
display OF merchandise aud works Of art.
"Tberefore. l assert from my own OF.
perience and from that Of others, that not
less than 1000 acres will be required for
the worlds fair at Chicago. I do not think
that there is one Of the national commis-
sioners but what are fully in accord with
me in that view.
"The proposition to separate the agri-
cultural and mining exhibits from the rest
of the exhibition by six miles Of space lie
simply an outrage. The agricultural and
mining sections Of the country will not
stand it. We will not be made the tail end
Of the exposition nor be placed in q dis
tsnt lot by ourselves.
"As to filling in any part Of the lake to
create the necessary space to hold the OK.
position, il strikes me az Ridiculous, whom
Chicago has 80 many magnificent parks
that would not require . dollars expense to
prepare for buildings."
