The fight for the "boxlng' champion
ship of the feather-w weights between
"Ca;" Mccarthy and George Dixon,
colorcd, is set down for Thursday,
February 5. and is exciting great inter
est IN pugilistic circles. Thc contest
will take place at the Puritan Club,
Long Island City. and it is thought that
fully tive thousand people will be pre-
sent. The managers of the club are
sufficiently experienced to SO arrange
matters that there is no likelihood oil Il
hitch IN the proceedings, and If the
authorities across the river are willing
and fall into line there should DO rs
much of a succcssssin this glowing mill as
marked the late Fltzsimmons Dempsey
battle in New Orleans. Both men have
been IN training for several weeks and
1t is certain that they will meet ON an
equal footing In the matter OF physical
condition. Jack McAullffe, the light
weight champion, will DC behind Nc
Carthy, which will be worth good
deal to that fighter, but the Interests of
the black will be we'll protected py Tom
ORourke, his hacker and counsellor,
and it is the opinion Of those who have
seen both Of these men do most of their
milling that when the black is whipped
the other fellow will be avfully tired.

San Francisco from New Orleans. Kill

Ernest Rober, the Greco Roman west
Ter. The pugllistwas met at the wharf
by Muldoon, who will train him, and a
large crowd OF sports, headed by Bill
Jordan. Kilrain said he was only about
five pounds over his fighting weight.
The quarters picked out for HIM by
Muldoon are near the Cliff House, on
the Pacific Ocean beach. and he vii. do
most OF his work in Golden cate Park
which is close by. Hiram and Godfrey
have signed articles to fight in March.
Newark Lodge of EIks. which ad-
mitted John l.. Sullivan To membership
last year, has decided to try him upon
the charges which led DIR. QuInian, the
exalted ruler, TO order his suspension.
Sullivan was admitted to the order dur
ing hrs week IN Newark With Duncan
b. HARRISON in "Honest Hearts and
Wiling Hands" His admission was de-
precated by many members OF the
lodge, who took no part in the inltia-
ton. They did not hesitate to charm.-
teT@ze his initiation az the greatest blum
der ever committed by the order, hu.
they did no, tell Sullivan 81 because
there was general impression that I
was unwholcsoma to say unpleasant
things to the champion. He was on
his good behavior IN Newark. and got
through the week without drink. and
consequently without any bad breaks.
