editor OF the World In New York. Mr.. Ballard
Smith and tho editor OF 7o'nn Topics are
very good ct abuse and Islander at dis
tance. I don't know whether they ever bet or
not. but will make them zach bet for largo
sum OF money that neither Of them dare come
over to Paris and repeat before my face what
they write with immunity with 5000 miles OF
seq between US; or IL they like to lay wager
for any sum. large or small that I will not
meet them at any spot. say In South America.

OF them. promise to accept It II they nre
afraid to do either and still continue their
abuse at safe distance. they will be Judged
according to their merits by every one who
has any pretension to any manly feeling"
What the editor OF To,on Topics chooses to
write about mo Is n matter OF perfect indifler-
ence to me and cannot In any way touch me:
but he has also dragged my father. Sir Freder-
lex Milbanks, name into his paper and at
tackled him. and this will tolerate from no
man. am ready to accommodate either OF
these editors in any way ifthey dare to resent
my words. and to prove whether or not their
bite is equal to their bark"

The new sporting club was opened this
week. 1t is called the BAN. and has o lot Of
influential people behind it. Sir John Astey
is the ostensible head. but he is acting for
other people who do not like to have their
names publicly connected with any such en-
terprise. One Of the peculinrities OF the club
| is that it will endeavor to suppress oil ac-
counts OF fights that take place within it's
walls which will never work II it comes to a
big fight.
As there does not seem to he any probable
| ity OF Choynski getting on an immediate
match he and Parson Davies will spend q
| couple Of weeks in Franco. Peter Jackson
will go to Hamburg for n short visit, and then
the troupe will meet in Paris. when it will
| probably give an exhibition before returning
| to England. Pnrson Davies tells me that he
will leave for Now York next month and that
| jackson will probably go with him. When
| asked what he thought OF Sullvans remarks
about the fight Jackson said: 1T does not
| look as though the big fellow meant
retiring. but even II l knew that for
! a fact l would not challenge him. ! am not
| challenging any one Just now. but am ready
to meet any one. and if sufficient induce
ment is offered to me l will box any ono.

rionship OF the world"
After staying less than two weeks In Lon
don. George Godfrey. the colored boxer OF
Boston. has returned homo. He is passen-
ger on the City of Paris. which will reach New
York on Wednesday. Several attempts were
| made to arrange q match between Choynski
and Godfrey. but none OF the clubs here can
afford to put up decent purse for any battle.
Tho Ormonde Club seldom offers a purse
OF moro than $1,000. aud tho National
Sporting Club Is in no condition to
throw money away. After tho loss
| OF $3.50 in the Slavin and Jackson match 1t was
| thought that some OF the wealthy members
would have taken Lord Lonsdale's tip and
gone down into their pockets SO as to make m
the deficit: but up TO date less than ESQ have
been collected The meagre sum o; IS oppo-
site the Marquis Of Queensberry's illustrious
name shows how the appeal has been met.
The falling through OF the fight between
Harry Nicklass and Tom Williams. the Aus.
tralian. cost the club nearly s40O. and the
abandonment OF tho Ted Prtchard- Jack
| O'Brien contest added another 1900 to the
shortage. 80 that in round numbers the club is
close to $4,000 the wrong side Of the books.
An effort is being mado to get Joe Choynski
| and Peter Mahcr to iii tho date II ade vaca nj
by Pritchard and O'Brien. The last nnno1
pair were to have met on Monday night. and II
| sufficient inducements arc offered Choynski
| and Mnher will come together In three weeks
In the mean time Choynski hns offered to
knock out any man In England in four rounds
but no one has responded to the challenge
which was aimed directly at Jem Smith.
The two racing sensations OF the week have
been the victory OF Reuil in the Paris Grand
Prx and the victory OF StanGeo over Sir Hug,
at Ascot. 1t only adds another tangle for the
three year old form both In England anC
France. Meantime Orme has been mado first
| favorite for tho St Leger at to against him
though very little money is being invested or
the colt. Lafeche is backed at to agains
her. while Sir Hugo. since his defeat. has beer
driven to to l against him.
