one OF tie three necessary victories.

When the Olympic Club will take possess

members can look forward to a great sea-
sons indoor athletic sports. The first will
be series OF boxing bouts between the
champion amateur boxers of the coast. 1t
is the Intention of the. athletic committee,
of which E. A. Koib is leader, TO give a
boxing night every week, commencing at
the end of January and ending in the latter
part Of February. If possible six or eight
bouts will take place each evening of four,
SIX, eight and ten rounds duration. Mag

OF ladders, rings, bars, etc. The new gym
naslum, when completed will be the finest

being daily enrolled. After the first of
January the initiation fee will be 500.
This evening the Pacific Club Will give its
monthly exhibition. 1t will consist If
hnlsh contest between Danny Needham of
Oakland and Billy Smith of Portland, Or.
The contest will certainly prove an excit-
ing affair, as Smith is bound TO force the
pace from the clash of the gong. Needham
has been tried and found the equal of any
man OF his weight in America. Although
he met with defeat when lie encountered
Dawson, the latter was certainly the most
punished when the contest was brought TO
an end. In Smith. Needham will find
most stubborn opponent and a man of ex-
traordnary grit and stamina. 1t will sur
prise great many sports Il the contest
should last fifteen rounds. i. is the general
belief that either of the men will 20 down
hard before many rounds are fought.
The preliminary contest will be worth
seeing. Two young men who aspire to
championship honOrs have agreed to pum-
mel each other for fifteen rounds They
are employed in large hardware establish
ment, and to decide an election bet they
agreed to box before the members of the
