the song continues:

The song continues: j.

Great trees bend low to it,

Far in the hiding skies.

$40 900 fight between Peter Maher and Bob
Fitzsimmons to take place on March 2.
The Metropolitan club, the rival organiza-
ton, arranged for a meeting the same time
between Danny Needham and Tommy
Ryan for q purse of $1,000 and bets of
S., 600 a side. Patrons of pugilism here
have been striving their utmost to have
one Of the contests postponed. While the
subject has been giving the papers here an
opportunity to offer countless suggestions
the Olympics have been quietly at work,
and it leaked out tonight that they have
succeeded in one Of the best planned coups
of its kind. Captain Williams, the repre-
sentative of the club who brought about
the Maher-F itZsimmons match, and who has
been in the north on the lookout for en-
gagements in the pugilisSic line, was
quickly dispatched to New York to look up
Slavin and Mitchell. His mission was kept
a secret and not finding his men he went
to ST. Louis. Here he was again disap-
pointed and was forced to go to Cincin-
natti; then to Memphis and lastly to Bir-
mingham. At thst place he found the
pugilists and made arrangements whereby,
for purses of $1,000 each, Slavin and
Mitchell have agreed to meet two unnamed
heavy-weightS in siX-round contests at the
Olympic club on March 2.
The club is now trying to complete ar
rongements with Jim Corbett and Joe
Choynski, who will probably accept, as
S. 600 is good sized purse for six rounds.
Should he accept Mitchell will be his OPP
ponent, while ChoynsEi will face Slavin if
the former can be secured. 1t looks at
present as if the Olympic have the call,
for with the two glove contests and the
Maher- Fitzsimmons fight on hand they
will afford all the pugilistic entertainment
for one evening that the average man cares
to see. The action of the metropolitans
will be looked for with considerable inter-

National Trotting Association.

New York, Feb. 1O.-The committee on
rules of the National Trotting association
have spent the last three days compiling a
new set of rules and regulations for the en-
suing two years and probably will spend
more time over them. The following Off
GERS were elected to-day: President, B. P.
Johnston, Lexington, KY; first vice-presi-
dent, David Bonner, New York; second. F.
L. COombes, Napa, Cal. The directors for
the Pacific district are: M. 7. Smith, J.
d. Carr and Z. S. Rothschild.
An important change in the rules is
made in rule 2, providing for entries
Section 6 now binds man making an
entry to solid contract in favor of the as
sociation. According to the old rule there
were three judges appointed, but under
this new rule these three are empowered to
appoint an additional person to start
the races with full powers to enforce the
rules while the horses and drivers are on
the track. Rule IS, defining tho powers of
judges. IS amended, giving them power to
dis9ualify any horse which, through balk-
ing or obstinacy, delays race, refusing to
come down to the pole in scoring
