SPECIAL BOXING CoNTEsTA
1t has been officially announced that the
special boxing contests will take place in the
gymnasium Of the Columbia Athletic Club on
May ., commencing at o'clock. This exhibit
ton promises to be the best ever seen in
Washington. The entries are the best in the
Atlantic division of the A. A. u, and the

eral classes.

Philadelphia Amateur Swimming Club is
entered against Dee Of the Warren Athletic
Club. The latter gentleman was the champion
OF bis class last year and second this year.

pound class. McPhiilips of the P. A. s. c.,
winner OF second prize this year, will meet the
champion, Woolery, of the w. A. c.
Bolen, who it will be remembered gave such
a clever exhibition with Won Lindgren at q
and who was champion Of the 135-pound class
last year, is to meet Ziegler of the A c. S. Ne,
and a clever set-to is expected.
Champion Hanley of the p. A. s. C. will meet
Hendrickson of the A. C. s. N. While Mr..
Hanley is the champion he has never defeated
Mr.. Hendrickson, who was forced to withdraw
at the recent tournament on account of an in
jury to his hand.
It has not been definitely determined who
will be selected to meet McDaniels in the 1872
pound class. Mr.. McDaniels is a member of
the Warren Athletic Club and is spoken of as a
clever sparrer.
This is also tn case in the 125-pound class

try thus far, although it is certain he will find
an opponent.
In addition to the sparring there will be two
bouts at wrestling in the l22-pound class.
Klung of the W. A. c. is booked to try con-
clusions with Horton of the A. C. s. N and

match will undoubtedly result
Capt Wilson and Lieut. Dashiell are to be
congratulated upon getting up such program.

vitation. Each member will be allowed two
tickets. Already there is a scramble for them
The boys and their friends have not forgotten
the excellent exhibition given a short time ago
and are anxious to get their tickets before they
are all gone. Some disappointment is MANI
tested In that none Of the local sparrers will
take part, but the class is little rapid for be-
ginners.
