A correspondent writing from Chicago saws:
"SpOr. is rather dull in this city at present,
middle weight and Paddy Brennan. of Buff
faio, will fight 70 a finish soon near this city
for the receipts. Both are good strong fell
lows, and good battle OF the give and take

home the major portion Of the money. should

and johnny Van Heest that was TO take
place on the 2stb is about off, az
far as a finish 60 is concerned, and
instead they will have a, ten-round
go in Battery A about December Sd. They will
be an attraction and will make more money
by public exhibition than by a finish con-
test. Nike Boden. the Canuck." who has
been around this city for some months past
has arranged 20 with Tom Kinnard. of
Detroit to take place about December 7th
near Chicago. Frank HOwson and Tom Ryan
are both hard at work training for their fight
that takes place here December 18th.
great deal Of interest is taken in this match.
as both are local men, and If Ryan wins he
will at once challenge Dawson, OF Australia"

Says the New York Sun: 1T is too bad
that the California Athletic Club could not
see their way TO offer a bigger purse than
3 $50 for Joe McCauliiie and Patsy Cardiff.
In connection with this, well-known sport
ing man said yesterday:
The purse for which the men battle is
81 500, and the club, in addition. allows each
man $3.50 for expenses. making the cost TO
the club $4,000, and probably more too. This
is for contest between two men OF beaten
record. McAuliffe and Jackson, for the
meeting in which the Californian received
his first defeat. did battle for purse of
$4,000. Jackson and Cardiff commanded the
same sum at the meeting in which Jackson
defeated him. Cardiff, when Pat Killen
Knocked him ont, was fighting for gate re-
cepts. When George Godfrey defeated Car
diff at the Gladstone Club, Providence. the
purse was 81 100. 1t seems to me TINT
n $1,000 outlay for twice beaten
to meet thrice beaten
one, is paying fair prices for material OF
that grade. Jack Dempsey. after his first
reverse when he battled with the Marine for
IS 500 purse. took on Australian Billy Nc
Carthy for his next customer for o purse of
{ ls00 Dempsey won and. re-estabshng
himself by the victory. was in such demand
that he negotiated his next engagement with |
titzsimmons at New Orleans for 912 900 |
purse. The policy of the California Club AZ

test, so far possible, representative men of |
