This evening the Palo Alto Athletic Club

This evening the Palo Alto Athletic Club
will give its monthly entertainment.
AS previously stated McCanp, the sailor
pugilist, refused to meet Harris Martin,
"the Black PEARL" owing to a severe cold
which he caught ON the wing while exercls-
Ing in the vicinity OF Professor Farley's
hostelry during hailstorm few days ago.
A physician who was present at the time
when Mccain coughed his indisposition to
hgnt colored man suggested that lie take
good dose of paregorc, as it would allie
vlate his sufferings aud put him in con-
dition to fight the battle of his lite. Mccain
shot his eagle eye on the optic of the great
medicine man. and "sizing" the latter up
remarked please tell that to the marines !;
have had too much experience with pare
gorical experts to place any confidence, sir,
In your unsolicited suggestion"
Joe King will take McCann's place this
evening and as he is said to be in good con-
dition the club guarantees its members that
they will witness good fight.
Previous TO the event OF the evening ten
round "g0" between two local men will as
sist to whet the appetites Of the spectators
for the finish contest.
In answer to query, the number of
rounds fought by Dawson and Gallagher
was forty.two. Martin Murphy, who was
Gallagber's principal second, threw Up the
sponge in favor Of the Australian.
Peter Jackson left ON the steamer Teu-
tonic. which sailed from Liverpool for New
York on the 10Th inst. The colored heavy
weight Is in hopes Of clinching return
match with champion Corbett.
In answer to many queries: Peter jack
son and. f. p Slavin both claim to be
champions of Australia, but neither can
produce clear title to the position. The
only contest they have ever engaged in there
was in the nature of rough and tumble
encounter in Larry F0ley's Emporium OF
Sport. Jackson has never fought for the
championship OF England. The challenge
Issued by John l.. Sullivan, and which led
to the making OF the match with Jake Kill
rain, was open to the pugilists of every
country, Kirain alone accepting. Sullivan
afterward drew the color line when match
between him and Jackson was suggested.
but when the famous Bostonian knocker-out
arrived in this city, previous 10 his departure
for Australia. he signed an agreement in the
presence Of L. r. Fulda, then president of
the California Athletic Club. that he would
fight Jackson just as soon as his theatrical
engagement expired.
Corbett. owing to Jackson's agreement to
fight Paddy Slavin, accepted Sulivan's
final challenge to fight any man, the result
of which made Corbett the champion of the
world so far as Queensberry rules are con-
cerned.
There is no doubt but that Jackson is en-
consummated the match will be the greatest
event that has ever taken place among
heavy-weights, as both men are thorough
exDonents in the art OF self-defense.
According to the best American authori-
ties Sullivan became pugilstic champion of
the world when he defeated Jake Kllran in
Mississippi, but he virtually reOigned the
title before going to Australia.
1t has not since been contended for. The
battle between Sullivan and Corbett being
under Queensberry rules was for the boxing
(or glove) championship of the world.
This afternoon a team from the Scottish
Thistle Club will contest in game of asso-
citation football with team from the Wan
derers' Football Club at Central Park.
