A surf-it OF Good Boxing.

Lovers OF the manly pastime OF boxing
are certainly receiving every opportunity TO
indulge in their iavorite sport. Within short
period we have had the National and Star Ath-
letic Clubs tournaments, the A. A. U. cham
pionships and the Crib Clubs contests, while
the present month fairly bristes with good
things to come. 1t Is possible that by the time
the latest exhibitions take place our lighters
may be all used up and the public gorged with
a surfeit OF boxing. which condition OF affairs
would very materially affect the box Office re-
ceipts OF the hindmost.
On Jan. IA the prellminaries OF the Varuna
Boat Club will take place at the Clermont Ave-
nue. Rink. BROOKLYN. while two days later tho
spacious auditorium Of the Brooklyn Academy

crowd that will gather to witness the lnas.

tourn aments. The date Jan. 25 conflicts with
tho Pastime's meeting, and would, to a certain
ex,ent. injure the attendance Of the latter, IL
is probable, however. that the Chairman Of the
Manhattan's Entertainment CommittSe. Alder.
man Walton Storm. will give way to Preslfent
Sullivan and select some other date. The NJ.
A. C. tournaments arc purely invitation aiIalrs,
and consequently they can arrange their dates
without an eye on the turnstie; .,,
The Brighton Athletic Club have claimed
Feb, for a boxing tournament and they arc
also unfortunate enough TO clash with the
