Views of the Great Agnostic on Prize
Eiohtiuo


Fighting.
While in Chicago the other day, Robert
G. Ingersou expressed himself in vigor-
Gus English on the subject of prize fight
ing. He said:
81 would as lief see Whitechapel
murder. OF all the brutal, barbarous,
baboonish outrages on society, prize
lighting is the worst / rejoice that my
friend, Governor Merriam, showed his
respect for the good citizens OF his State
by shutting down on the encounter be-
tween the thugs.
The men who believe in prize fights
and attend them are as despicable as the
fighters themselves. The day after the
soul-repelling, nauseating battle between
the two animals Sullivan and Kilrain
/ read an account of the british exhibi-
ton called prize fight for the first and
last time. ] did so then simply as a kind
of psychological study of the principles
of sayagery. The account stated that
about three-fourths of the loafers present
rejoiced in the happy knowledge that
they had killed their man. Now, if
maliaism or highbinderism is any worse
than this / can't see the distinction. The
difference is only in the matter of dis
tribution, and society has a thousand
fold better chance to fight an organiZa-
ton of thugs than it has TO contend
against an unorganiZed horde of brutal
lied rowdies scattered from Maine to
California.
"The distinction between healthfuI
athletic sports and prize fighting is as
wide as the gulf between Tartarus and
Olympus. The one makes men; the
other graduates beasts. Every State in
the Union should have iron-clad laws
making prize fighting a felony, not
mere misdemeanor, as the law reads on
too many of the State statue books.
Then, if the law is disregarded, put the
criminals in the penitentiaries for long
terms, and it would not be many years
before prize fights became as rare in
this country as bull fights are on State

Literary Grinders

If you start out to make livelihood by
the pen, with only the dollar-mark before
you, you will fail unless you have a
gigantic genius for binding the editors
and their public, writes Edward W. Box
in the October Lddtes' Home .Ton7,,0I
The man or woman who writes only
with one overpowering idea in view of
what the work will bring him or her.
makes a great mistake. and never will
make anything else. What are called
literary grinders by editors and pub
fishers, are never popular or conspicuous
for their success. They may seem to
make hit here or there, but not very
often. The lane of the literary hack;'
has very short and sharp turn, and it is
generally not far from the opening of the
read. An editor is quick to single out the
grinder as her work invariably shows
it, and the man or woman who is thus
classified in the editorial mind is most
unfortunate.

THANKSGIVING RACING.
The Turf Club Prepares a Trotting
and Pacing Programme,
Arrangement for Opening Colt Stakes
on the First OF the Year-The
Club FIourishtng.

The Board Of Directors Of the Capital
Turf and Driving Club held a meeting at
the Golden Eagle Hotel last evening, and
transacted considerable business of in
terest.
1t was decided to have some racing at
Agricultural Park ON Thanksgiving Day.
There will be two races-a trOt for named
horses and pacing race, also for named
horses. A good-sized purse viii be hung
up, so that fine days sport may be
looked for. There are some good trotters
and PAGERS in the various racing stables
here, and out of the lot good selection
should be made. The details were not
decided upon last evening. \ committee,
consisting Of w. O. Bowers, Wilbur
Smith and Willard Gardner, was ap-
pointed to attend to them.
The directors also arranged for opening
colt stakes for one, two and three year
olds on the first Of the year. The stakes
have heretofore been opened by private
parties, but the matter has been turned
over to the club, and much better results
are expected. The stakes will be for
trOJters and PAGERS. The territory from
which eligible colts may come includes
All oi the STATE norm OF Stockton. A COM
mittee composed Of Wilbur Smith, Will
lard Gardner and +. a. Jones was ap-
pointed to arrange the details, such as
getting out the blanks, advertising, ETC.
There was some talk about the finan-
cial condition of the organization. While
the club is on good footing, with money
in bank and q substantial member
ship, still there was complaint on ac-
count Of various persons, who were en-
thusiastic at first but have failed TO con-
meet with the Secretary and pay over
their first installment of dues. The di-
rectors believe that these persons should
show some interest in the affairs of the
club and adhere to their promises.
After approving the bonds Of the Sec
retary and Treasurer, the board ad-
journed.

MEXICAN SILVER.
What Assessor Irvine Saw on His Visit
to Sonora.

What Assessor irvine Saw on His Visit
to Sonora.
r. G. Irvine, who went to Mexico a
few weeks ago to examine some mines in
Sonora owned by number of citizens OF
this city, returned few days ago. Last
evening he attended a meeting of the
company and gave an account of his trip
and what he saw.
Mr.. Irvine brought with him a guam
tity of ore from the Rascone mine, which
has very promising ledge. The shaft
has been sunk only forty feet, but even at
that distance the ledge has widened and
the ore bodies enlarged, while the ore it
self is considered valuable.
The shaft viii be continued and a tun-
mel run from the side Of the mountain to
determine what the ledge is like at depth
% few hundred feet If the result be
satisfactory, a smelter will be erected and
the mine operated for the owners. There
is no stock on the market, all being held
by the owners.

late III the afternoon, anticipating a visit
from an arresting officer, but none APP

viewed on the subject of the Indictment,
or TO indicate what courses he intends to
pursue when arrested.
Late last night it was learned that the
bench warrant issued by Judge Wallace
for the arrest OF Mr.. Bruner was placed
in the hands of the Sheriff of San Fran
cisco yesterday, and that Under Sheriff
Deyeny left on the night train for this
city TO make the arrest.

ATHLETIC CLUB.
Arrangements Made for Another Pop
uIar Boxing Night"
The Ladies VIII Be in the Athletic
Swim Again-Their Glass TO
Be Reorganized.

AT meeting of the Board of Directors
OF The Sacramento Amateur Athletic Club
last evening it was decided to give
another boxing night" on the 18th OF
November. The great success of the last
boxing tournament given by the club
opened the directors eyes, and
| they viii in the future give these
entertainments frequently 1t is not
intended that the coming exhibition
shall be in the nature of q tolrna-
ment, but will comprise series of special
matches Of six rounds duration each.
1t has not been decided yet who are to
be the contestants in these matches. and a
committee was appointed to attend to the
arrangements. One match, however, is
almost assured, and that is between Fred
Tyrrell and Henry Rubenstein, both
bantam-weights. These doughty boxers
met at the recent tournament and Tyrrell
was defeated. Last evening the directors
received communication from Tyrrell
IN which he asked for an opportunity to
meet Rubenstein again. The latter is re-
ported TO be willing to meet his former
opponent again. A handsome gold
medal Will be awarded to the winners of
the contests. The exhibition will be wit
| messed by members only.
The directors also decided to reopen
the ladies, gymnastic class on the Sd OF
next month. This is one of the most
popular branches of the club. 1t will be
under the direct management of the di-
rectors this year, instead OF outside par
| ties as formerly. Professor Godefroy
will instruct the ladies IN the mysteries
of muscle developing.
The club recently adopted the plan of
] n an,.i,, rNriz 70 IL,
in the most new members, and the result
has been that at the elections there are
longer lists of applicants than were ever
known before in the history of the club.
After attending TO the usual routine
business the board adjourned.
