RING AND PATH.
Monthly Exhibition of the San
Francisco Athletic Club.

The California Athletic Club Directors
met last evening, but as is usually the case
did nothing of importance TO any one but
themselves. 1t was reported that jackson
was getting along splendidly, and would be
physically able TO resume training in week
or so; and as for Corbett, he is getting
along ''swimmingIy" Willis, the Australian
bantam, was promised big INDUCEMENTS II
he would remain here and, like MlcaWDer,
wait for something TO turn up:
Willis, however, is decidedly anxious to
earn few American dollars, and he mas
wisely concluded TO accept OF the hrSt
chance that is offered him rather than wait
and take chances according to promise.
Owing to the extra tax levied upon the
members who desire TO witness the contest
between Corbett and jackson, many of
them have refused to pay the assessments,
and the general belief is that the club will
find it a rather difficult matter to raise the
$4,000 purse, which 1t has promised the
winner of the Jackson and Corbett contest,
The Olympic Clubs juvenile wrestling
tournament will take place on Thursday
evening. The entries have already been
published. The classes will be divided as

state, however, that any contestants of the
lower standard of weights can enter for
competition in any of the classes above
their scale.
Under this rule the wrestlers who have
entered in the 60-pound class can COM
pete with those who will compete in the
125-pOuud class, if they consider themselves
competent. The old rule OF twenty minutes
for bouts and fifteen minutes for the final
rounds between contestants who have tied
in the opening rounds has been changed TO
ten minutes for bouts and nYe minutes Tor
final contests. This rule has been eStab-
lished owing to the large entry list, which,
according TO the old system, would take
week to finish the tournament.
Tie San Francisco Athletic Club held its
monthly entertainment last evening at 43l
Sixth street, but long before the President

taken by AN enthusiastic crowd OF young
men, who delight in all branches of

tween members of the club in which the
following athletes participated, viz:
BOXlng-S. Dugan vs.. Charles Reno; W.
Cook VS.. J. Smith; Alexander Greggains

E. Michaels; William Edwards VS.. 4. Nc
Enemy. The event of the evening was a
contest 10 a finish between Greggains and
Lynch for diamond badge. The referee
unable to decide on merits, postponed the
contest until the 18th inst, when it will be
decided at the clubs annual picnic, which
will be held at Glen Ellen. Betting on the
result slightly favors Lynch, who won the
handsome silver medal at the last exhi-
bition.
The contest between Muller and Rochelle,
at the San Jose Athletic Club, viii be de-
termin cd tonight Rochelle seems to be
favOrte with the betting men.
