LONDON, May Peter jackson is training
at Brighton for his fight with Slavin in
samewhat peculiar manner. He does no
sweating, but takes long jaunts inland gen.
orally by himself, and he never spars with
any one because he says it has tendency 10
make him slow. He has reduced himself in
three weeks nearly Is pounds, and will enter
the ring weighing about iS5 pounds.
Slavn is trimming at Dover Court on the
East coast and his method of procedure is
the very opposite of Jac&son's. He says his
fighting weight will be considerably over 100
pounds. There IS little or no betting, but
what wagering there has been has favored
Jackson.
Jack Slavin and Con Riordan, of San
Francisco, have been matched for f200
side and big purse. The men will fight at
the Ormonde Club on June , The fancy
here tavors Slavin, but the match ought to
be good thing for Riordan.
Fred John son. who is matched to fight
George Dixon. will leave for New York
the Majestic Wednesday. He ought to whip
Dixon it he gets into good condition. He
has trouble in getting to lis pounds, and
fights better at l22 pounds, but he will make
the weight all right.

IN CALLING PUBLIC attention

To our stock of whiskies, brandies and
wines from time to time, we much
prefer that they would sell on their
own merits rather than from any un-
seemly, unreasonable or doubtful

for sale but the very best and purest
money will buy. All of our whiskies
and wines are sufficiently and per-
fectly matured before we offer them
for sale
Our Old Export Whisky is recog-
nized as very superior family whisky;
quarts 81, or 6 for S..
Our California Wines have been
found pure in every particular, and
are becoming very essential and pop
ular. They are up to the standard.
Full quarts, soc; or S. per dozen.
When you want good Port, Sherry

more of the big clubs are trying to secure
his services, among them the Washington
Leaguers. The management of that organ
ization has no doubt been Influenced by that
excellent Judge, Arthur 1rw in, who says
that he would rather have Ba, ne than half
of the paid pitchers in the big League.
Bavne in appearance is an ideal athlete. He
stands feet II inches in height, he is very
also quite n fast runner, and the very best
batter on the heavy-hitting college team of
which he is q member
1t is not known for certain that he can be
induced to enter the professional arena. He
is bnt 10 years old, and belongs to the class
of '95 at the university. If but half OF what
is said of him is true, he will without doubt
bo an acquisition to any club that may be
able to secure him.
