Fitzsimmons' Trainer Writes His
Ideas of the Irish Champion.

Fitzsimmons' Trainer Writes His
Ideas of the Irish Champion.
Jimmy Carroll, the faithful trainer
and partner of Bob Fitzsimmons, does
not underrate Peter Maher's ability,
says the New York World. He has his
own ideas of the relative merits of both
men who are to box at the Olympic
club March I'd, and he expresses them
in letter to Richard K. Fox. Here is
the letter:
Fitzsimmons is training early and late
for his battle with Peter Maher. In re-
gard to the Irish champion / wish to
state that neither Fitzsimmons nor N.Y.
self underrate him in any shape or form.
am convinced that Billy Madden knows
what he is doing. l know that Peter
Maher must be great man for begin
ner. John L. was wonderful man
when he was beginner. Maher
may be second John L.
Who knows until he is tried?
There is one thing sure, and that is he
is going up against man who will try
him out for all he is worth. know the
New York sports are quite foxy, and
are or want to be sure before they bet
their money, l have some friends in
New York who, l think, would do we'll
not to let their feelings run away with
their dollars. Bob wishes me to tell
you that he dom t intend to blow about
what he can do in bar room or any
where else. Neither is he going to take
satisfaction of out Mr.. Maher to get the
public with him. But he will try his
best to win. Iwish to say that Bob is
our American middle-weight champion,
and holds the new Police Gazette cham
pionship belt which represents that
title. He is no longer an Australian,
but an American citizen, and has in
vested $4,000 in a house in San Fran
cisco. Fitzsimmons is in first-class con-
dition, and, in my opinion, Maher will
have to be wonder to defeat him.
Fitzsimmons and myself send our best
regards. JAMES CARROLL.

THE CHICKEN SHOW.
TONIGHT THE DISPLAY WILL END
WITH A DANCE.
Features of the Show-An Old Lady Who
Wanted Setting of Capon Eggs-A
Dance Tonight.

Tonight will be the last opportunity
to visit the poultry show at Armory
hall. This has been the finest exhibit
of thoroughbred fowls ever seen in the
west, and the citizens of Los Angeles
have been enabled to see some speci-
mems of as fine poultry as have ever been
on exhibition.
All day yesterday, in spite Of the rain,
the hall was crowded, and on every side
were heard expressions of surprise and
delight. A large number of the visitors
were eastern people, and they unan-
imously declared the show to be equal
to the best they had attended. "They
told me at home that California could
not raise fine poultry. If they were here
they would see different" This is but
one of the many expressions of similar
character heard.
But the greatest crowd was around
the exhibits OF incubators and brooders
in operation. The Prairie state, Ninety
per cent and the Santa Ana were all
hard at it, and the capon on duty in the
Santa Ana brooder was the observed of
all observers. Many and curious were the
questions asked as to his nationality, age,
sex, etc. One handsome old lady re-
marked, as she adjusted her good eye
glass: sDid that bird lay all those
eggs?" and on being informed to the
contrary, said: II should like to get a
setting of capon eggs to take home with
me. They are not known in my home"
One of the latest additions to the show
is handsome pair of red bats, which
are on exhibition on the stage. All
visitors should see them. They were
bred by the City Brick company at their
yards on Boyle Heights and are said to
be of Chinese extraction.
The managers of the show have de-
cided to hold a grand concert and ball
tonight. The coops will be moved to
one side so as to admit of dancing on
one side of the hall, and number OF
cosy places for tete-a-tete chats are being
arranged among the chicken coops.
Edwin can pour his tale of love into
Angelina's ears to the soft music OF the
Langshan's crow and the clucking of the
broody hen. This is decided novelty,
and the "old story" will be greatly
added to by being told under such cir
cumstances.
One of the finest bands in the city has
been engaged, good order will be en-
forced, and between the dances "silver-
tongued'' Auctioneer Reed will dispose
of some of the choice stock on exhibi-
ton, including the celebrated Kansas
cyclone fowls.
All should attend. This is an oppor-
tunity of lifetime, and should not be
neglected. There are thousands of dol
lars worth of fine poultry on exhibi-
ton, and the whole country north, south,
east and west is we'll represented. Cali
fornia may well be proud of such dis
play, and it is noted with pleasure that
the finest stock is owned and bred by
native sons.
The exhibition will close tonight.
NOTES.
The Langshan cocks are fine male
quartette.
Superintendent Bridge was presented
with handsome water set as token OF
appreciation of his services.
There was some talk of cock fight
with gloves on, but the chickens abso-
lutely refused to take part unless they
were heeled, so the matter was aban-

22d, a match game of football will be
played at the Athletic grounds between
the Blackstones and the St. Vincent
college teams. The teams are composed
of the best amateur players in Southern
California, and as they are very evenly
matched, very interesting game may
be expected.

JOE cHoYNsKI HERE.
The Crack Young Pugilist Going to

The Crack Young Pugilist Going to
New Orleans.
Joe Choynski, the crack young pugi-
list, arrived in Los Angeles last evening.
Choynski is generally acknowledged to
be the best man of his weight in the
world. He now weighs about 1856
pounds. The San franciscan is mod
est young man and is quite different
to the average pugilist. He told a
HERALD reporter that he would stay in
Los Angeles several days and that he
is now on his way to New Orleans.
Choynski was very reticent about his
proposed trip, but stated that he had
not signed for any fight. 1t is the
general impression that Choynski will
be one of the unknowns selected to
meet either Slavin or Mitchell. Choyn-
ski is very popular and all the prominent
sports paid the visitor their respects
soon after his arrival.

The two Smiths come together next
Thursday night at the Crib club on
North Main street. Over year ago
these two youngsters fought seven

now a question as to which Smith has
improved the most since the last mill.
Solly Smith has certainly made wonder
full strides, and if Tom Smith has i'm
proved likewise the contest on Thursday
night should be good one. 1t is re-

a man named Ardell on the result of the

The La Blanche-Childs affair came in
for considerable discussion yesterday,
and the conqueror of Dempsey had to
submit to good deal of ''ioshing' dur
ing the day. 1t was given out yester-
day that William Childs had agreed to
meet La Blanche in four-round set-to
at the Athletic entertainment at the
auditorium this evening, instead OF Pur-
cell, who was advertised to spar with
the Marine. This will doubtless satisfy
all as to the condition of La Blanche on
Thursday night.

IN THIGH COUNTRY

It may be an open question whether Mr..
Gladstone. if running for the Presidency in this
country, would not have better chance OF
success than he nov has of securing majority
in the British Parliament But there can be
no doubt that Mr. Cleveland # he were run
ming In Great Britain, would have the over
whemng majority and the complete victory
there which his shrewdest friends do not ex
pect for him in the United States. There he
would command almost universal enthusiasm.
Here his support at present is largely Of per-
functory and clammy sort.
The reason is not far TO seek Mr.. Cleveland
represents 10 the minds OF .,nglishmen policy
which is distinctly and unqucstionably for the
benefit of Great Britain. His determined
struggle for that policy brought defeat upon
him and his party in 1883, and yet he clingS
to it. and has been rcnominated because he
was represented as its peculiar champion, and
the especial friends whose boast it is that they
secured his nomination glory in the fact that
foreigners appreciate and are thankful for their
work. 1t is curious illustration OF the alb
sence of American sentiment or patriotism in
these people that they instinctycly look to for
egn counties for approval, and Judge their
OWU AUS ny 'Ht applause NHi'H 'n'N tA'l'c vi
fail TO excite in foreign countries.
Thus the Reform Club Of this city had n
dinner in ratification of Mr.. Clcveland's NOM
nation, at which Mr.. Ellery Anderson rejoiccd
that the club had triumphed at Chicago, since
'the movement for the nomination Of Mr.
Cleveland had been organized by this club"
Then came Mr.. Fairchild, joyfully describing
The victorious and cloud compelling career Of
he club at Chicago. Next Mr.. Henry George
declared: "What you have done will be
hailed not merely through the country but on
the other side of the Atlantic" The reason he
was frank enough to admit it was because
Mr.. Cleveland had "made himself the cham
pon of Free Trade" and because the genuine
Cleveland men had triumphed in the adoption
of platform which pledged the Democratic
party to wipe out Protection" What Mr..
George does not know about this country would
make not only large book but large library.

pdTERSONS CENTENNIAL.

II is an event of no little significance which
is 70 be celebrated in Paterson, y. j., during
the coming three days. One hundred years
ago. on July 4. 1892, il was decided by Alex
ander Hamilton and a number Of his associates
in the Society for Establishing Useful Manu-
features TO purchase a tract Of land at PaSSaic
| Falls and found the town which in the course
Of a century has grown into a busy and pop
ulous city 1t was the water power which at
tracted them TO this spot. In tho days before
steam and electricity water was more hlehN
valued than now for manufacturing purposes.
In fact, 1t was indispensable for work OF TINS
kind on large scale. The water power which
the Passaic River supplies in its descent through
the CITY of Paterson is still used. but 1t Is now
only a 1.-THE of the power employed in the var-
ous industrial enterprises Of which Paterson Is
the seat. Paterson is rc-eminenuy manu-
| featuring city. Its mills and its locomotive
works are famous the country over. The peo-
ple of the city have known by personal expert
encc the benefits Of the protective tanh, on
which their prosperity has 10 so large an eX-
| tent been conditioned. rs population is now
approaching 100 900, and in all that goes to
make up a thriving. progressive, attractive
which greatly outnumber il. In some respects
| it is in position TO point the way for It's big
noichbors in an adjoining State, as, for instance,
in IT. free public library Of 1900 volumes.
The exercises which have been arranged in
honor Of the completion Of Patcrsons first
century are to extend over three days and will
| be of varied and interesting nature. The fall
programme has already been printed IN TIE
| TRIBUNE. Probably the most striking feature
| will be the industrial parade to-day Those
who remember tho great parade of this char
actcr on the last day of our Washington Cen
tennia celebration will recall that after the
remarkable military display on the previous
day the industrial parade presented distinctive
features that VIII make it ever memorable.
Paterson is doing wisely TO emphasize this cle-
ment in its life and history. In behalf Of New
York We offer congratulations TO Paterson,
whose prosperity has been so well deserved and
whose future is bright with the promise Of still
grander achievements.
