Some Interesting Opinions Regarding the
Recent jackson and Corbett Battle.
Imam interesting article on the jackson.
Corbett fight the New York World gives the
opinions of the following sporting men:
Dick Roche-Corbett is undoubtedly, a
great man. 1 fancied jackson, but he has
gone back in the past two years. think,
however, that Slavin could whip either of
them. "a = G, go:
Mike Donovan-It was big victory for
Jimmy. If his hands had not given out he
would have won sure. '.se.,r.s-,.
'Honest John" Kelly-I liked jackson,
but I'll have bet on the other fellow if they
ever meet again.
Frank SteVenson-I am satisfied that Kill
rain will beat either Corbett OF jackson
handily. He will whip .Slavin, and the rest
will be easy for him. 1 tell you Jake was
handicapped at Richburg or he would have
beaten Sullivan. Wait and see, now.
Billy Edwards-Jackson was my choice,
but 1expected q long fight The black is not
the man he was; Too much champagne
doesn't do an athlete any good. They are
both game 'uns.
Tom NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. will whip Jack
son in ten rounds if they ever come together
again. jackson is out of it altogether.
Jack Nail-It was too bad that Peters
shoulder went back on him. He would have
won but for, that.
"Polo Jim''-Peter will whip Corbett in Is
rounds next time. liked Corbett because 1
didn't believe jackson could get into condi-
tion.
Pat Sheedy-Slavin will have an easy time
with either of them. Fancy John L. against
jackson or Corbett. Why if he was fit it
wouldn't last four rounds. .-:.H
Dominicl> McCaffrey-The result. proves
that neither of them is a hard hitter. -,
Edward Mallahan-Corbett is wonder,
indeed, but if jackson will take care of HIM
self for year he will have little trouble in
defeating him. Look out for this man
Slavin. =.
Richard X. Fox-It was certainly a re-
markable exhibition of science and game
ness. They are both great boxers.
Jack Cusack-Sullivan would have walk
over with either of them. Corbett should
have won. This fight lets jackson out. He's
q back number now. .-
Gus Tuthill-I had some money on the
black, but Corbett showed himself to be q
great man.

PRIDDY AND DARRIN.
Both Men in Good Condition for Their Race
Next Saturday.

Next Saturday.
On Saturday next the great three-mile foot
race between Peter Priddy, of CHARTERS,
and Harry Darrin, of England, will take
place at Exposition Park The, race will be
run between the hours of IL and II o'clock
in the morning. The track could not be
secured in the afternoon on account of ar
rangements. having already, been made for
two ball games there.
But two such peds as Priddy and Darrin
ought to attract the public in any part of the
day. 1t is safe to say that never did two
better distance runners meet in this or any
other city. Both men are in active training
and have been for some time past. They are
both in good condition. and if the track is q
good one there will he. fast time made
Darrin and his trainer will arrive from New
York this week and will locate near the
grounds. Undoubtedly he is great runner,
and when in running costume he is a real
"good looker.n'-
Priddy was in the city yesterday and was
looking eout of sight" During a converse
tion he said: 81 see that Darrin has been
blowing off little regarding how easy he'll
beat me. He will talk differently before Pm
through with him. He and his New York
friends will get all their money bet as soon
as they land here know that Darrin is
good man, and the best in England, but we
can run q little ourselves here. Atany rate
/ think can beat him and my friends may
rely on my trying to do So"

SAN Francisco, May 23.-Jim Corbett to-
day received. a telegram from the New
Orleans Olympic Club offering sl2, 900 purse
for q fight between him and Slavin. Corbett
replied that he would be in New York in two
weeks and would then talk fight. He states
that he will probably not engage in another
contest for year. when hewill be larger and
stronger.
Regarding another match with Corbett
Peter jackson said to-day: 81 am perfectly
willing to fight it out, and in fact think that
is the only course open to u.s."
jackson said that on leaving Australia he
had promised the Sydney Gymnastic Club
that as soon as Goddard put up forfeit he
(Jackson) would meet him. Jackson said
he had since been informed that that club
had arranged the match and he accordingly
sent letter by the last steamer affirming
his willingness to keep his promise, but
stating that he would not leave for Sydney
until summoned by cablec He said his let
ter should reach Sydney tomorrow. He
would allow ten days for reply, and if none
was received he would agree to another

He further states that should Goddard hold
him to q match and he (Jackson) won, he
would make no other engagement, but re-
turn here and give Corbett the first match.

very large number was ladies, many of
whom were of prominent families in Cincin-
natl and the neighboring cities.
The new stables, which increase the ac-
commodations to capacity for 600 horses, the

IT WON'T BE COPIED.
Referee Brewster's Decision Will Not Be
Taken as Precedent.


Taken as Precedent.
CHICAGO May 21-There need be no fear of
Referee Brewster's decision in the Myer-
Bowen fight establishing dangerous prece-
dent, as no well-guided athletic association
or wel1-informed stakeholder will dare to
follow it. Mr.. Brewster's Judgment is the
worst case of Observation-Disclosures -do-itagain
in the records of the ring. Tt is impossible
to conceive q combination of circumstances
that would compel q referee to decide con-
test a draw on fouls. The reports that have
been sent out from New Orleans have Myer
committing all the fouls. 1t may be possible
that something that would reflect upon the
fairness of Bowen's fighting has been held
back.
If the contest had degenerated into
rough-and-tumble ''scrap," then the referee
should have stopped it and called it no fight.
If Myer lost his head in the engagement this
was the first time that misfortune has over
taken him since he first donned gloves His
friends in this section of the country ex-
pected him to win in walk. The possibility
that he might be jobbed out of it never
entered their minds, as they had every con-
ffdence in the squareness of the Olympic
Club. There is something weirdly unusual
about the whole business.
