Rounds-Contests That VIII Take
Place This Month.

| tions for its next exhibition on Friday
| evening.

| test TO finish between Soto and Lavne.
! Soto is well known by the sporting fra
| lie rnity Of this city. having fought several
| battles here when the boxing clubs were out
of sight. so to speak. OF lata years the
Spaniard has been residing at JUS Angeles,
and during his sojourn in the land of the
orange and cactus he has put few good
men to sleep with his 'trusty" right fist.
| Layine is new arrival, and consequently
| few people in this locality have had an OPP
| portunty TO draw line On his ability.
| Those who have seen him tried OUT say
| that he is made Of the right stuff and is just
the kind Of lad to give Soto great sur
| prise
Prior to the all-looked-for event the men,
bers will he treated to lively mill between
Joe King, a promising middle-weight, and
an unknown, who is said to be Professor
Benjamin O'Brien, the colored hercules
from the land of the golden fleece The
| programme is certainly an excellent one.
TIE HEAVY-WEIGHTS.
Billy Woods, the Denver heavyweight
| pugilIst, who is matched to fight Joe
| Choynski, has arrived, and will 90 into his
raining kennel Immediately. ChOynski is
already at work at Barney Farley'S, and
his friends are as sanguine OF his success as
| McAulitie is of defeating Cardiff
The California Club has been trying for
| some time to arrange match between
| jackson and Slavin. The latter would not
! consent to fight in this city for some reason,
! and finally the National Club of London
| stepped into tho California Clubs boots
| and matched the white and black. Latest
! accounts say that SlGvin will not be pre-
! pared to do battle until June next This
| time seems to please Jackson. In fact the
| latter says any time goes, as long AS Slavin
vii! guarantee to fight. The idea Of Slavin
! desiring to wait until June looks peculiar,
! but those who have kept close watch on
! the dOingS OF the professional pugillSts say
that Charley Mitchell, who is S!avin's con-
! fdential adviser, has something To do with
! proionEing the day of the contest. After
| the match has been made Mitchell Slayin
| * Co. VIII visit this country and pocket
sacks OF dollars exhibiting through the
! county.
THE ONLY JOHN L.
Big John Sullivan is pleased to learn that
| SlavIu and jackson will be matched. john
| says that it is extremely doubtful if the fight
Will come of. He thinks that Charley
| Mitchell and Poney Moore are only looking
| for some more cheap advertising and that
| tie whole thing will end in smoke.
Whatever SlayIn may do remarked
Cu44lNdu, regarding meeting Win JACK
| son, he will not make a barrel of money in
| New 0rk, if he should come over, unless
! he settles up business with me on his ar
rival. You know that We have q bone to
| pick. Well let him go and fight jackson,
| but If the eolored man whips him then I'll
have no more use for Paddy. Anyhow let
them all get in and settle 1t between them.
I'll take on the winner just TO settle this
| mooted question, see
The friends of Hawkins, the bantam who
| ci1Fr NH ...i Ary,v 1r.A -, -
cideltal, are looking forward to seeing
hawkins ana Cal Mccarthy matched.
| These lads should make good fight and
there is no doubt but some of the clubs will
try and get them on their sloggng-roll.
