This Month-Notes.

The monthly exhibition of the Pastime
Amateur Athletic Club will take place this
evening at its quarters OIL Stevenson street,
near Third.
| Although the club is only few months
| old, 1t has made wonderful Roadway in the
way OF rapidly increasing membership.
Inc officers are determined to give the very
pest entertainments they can, and the ad-
mlrers of square and legitimate sport may
rest satisfied that they will be treated to ex-
| ceilent exhibitions of isticuffs from an anna
teur standpoint
The principal event this evening viii con-
sist OF setto between Mike Lyons, clever
boxer, and j. N. King. This contest ought
TO prove quite interesting, as the boxers are
| evenly matched in every particular and will,
no doubt, give good accounts OF themselves
| In the ring
The Pacific Athletic Club is making a
strong endeavor to bring about meeting
between Jim Corbett and Peter Maher, 1.-THE
Irish Wonder" The latter, from all ac-
counts, is willing to fight THE PompadOur"
In the Pacific Club for a $1,000 purse. Cor
Dett, on the other hand, would be pleased to
wager something like 5000 with the Irish
man or his hacker before putting his sigma
| ture to an agreement to fight In any OF the
| boxing clubs.
CUNNING CORBETT.
The professor must certainly think that
ne has a soft snap in view, otherwise he
would not dream Of asking his opponent to
| cover side wager.
1t is extremely doubtful if Madden will
risk any of his hard" learned money back
ing his protege against the clever and scien-
| entiiic James. The purse offered by the
Pacific Club for Corbett and Maher is, if
| anything, too large for fighters who have
not established remarkable regulations.
! Neither of the Celebrities" has, as vet,
been thoroughly tried out. although it must
| be confessed that Corbett has proven him.
| sell thoroughly scientific and q great Gen.
eraL Whether he can stand punishment
| such as Sullivan, Jackson, Mitchell and Kill
mooted question which can be definitely
| settled only when CorGett is tried out by a
hard hitter.
A BARREL OF MONEY.
| Ii by defeating Maher he can pocket the
| snug sum of $1,000 how easily Corbett could
pile up several more thousands by backing
himself with the above amount to whip Pc
| ter jackson, whom he will find ready to
| hight at any time for purse of $4,000. As
Stunning that the Professor would follow out
| this programme and make a success Of both
| ventures, just imagine "the sack" of gold
| that would await his offer to meet either
| Sullivan or Slavin. The monetary success
| OF a tug-of-war would be nothing in COM
parison to the pile of golden eagles the
| young California Professor would pocket
ny GAIT INK Out lHlS suggested line Oh DattIe
| to successful issue.

The Occidental Club has offered purse
for a battle between Billy Keogh and Billy
Smith.
George Kessler of Montana and Greggains
