THE FEATHERWE|GHTS.
Johnny Grimm and George Dixon May
Not Como Together.
IT is SIMPLY A QUESTION OF TIME
Judge Newton OF the Coney Island Club
is In Hoston-The $4,000 Purse for
Corbett and Mitchell Is Baseball
Degeneratings 2 sporting News

BosToy, March 1.-THE unexpected ap-
pearance Of Judge Newton of the Coney
Island club in this city yesterday caused
much speculation. The Judge stated that
his visit was to see Johnny Griffin, the
featherweight champion, personally, and
try and arrange for the Braintree lad
10 make q match with George Dixon.
There was only the difference Of few
hours in the weighing In time TO bring the
two great little men together, and Judge
Newton said that he KNEW that If Dixon
had his own way he would be willing to
make a match vt catch weights with
Griffin.
Griffin and Dixon have for long time
been flying at each others throats on pa
per. An advance on one side has invaria-
bly, been the signal for retreat on the
other. The featherweight championship
Of the world Is at issue between them and
mere matter OF two pounds of tissue has
heretofore kept them apart. Neither side
displayed the least inclination to make a
concession until some two weeks ago when
Tom O'Rourke, Dixon's manager, wrote
to Judge Newton, saying: Dixon will be
ready to fight July l at 100 pounds for
Sl0,0 a side and nothing less"
This conceded the two pounds Griffin
had been contending for, and Judge New
ton had a talk with the representatives OF
both men, the result being an understand
ing that Griffin and Dixon were TO fight at
Coney Island for a purse of $4,000, with
the stipulation that they should go upon
the scales at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
Two days AGO Newton received from
Jimmy Carroll, Griffin's backer, dis
patch, reading as follows:
Must weigh in at 10. Am sorry, but this is
the best can do. We gave away two pounds.
They should give away few hours.
This, of course, clouded the situation.
Time and tissue is the trouble now. Be
tween 10 and o'clock Griffin's weight
would increase most materially, and moth
ing is less likely than that O'Rourke will
make a further concession on Dixon's
behalf. Judge Newton thinks that under
the circumstances it would be well for
him to have talk with Griffin.

About mat $1,000 Purse.

New YORK, March 1.-THE sporting au-
thorities around New York do not take
any stock In the offer of a s75, 600 purse by
the Buffalo Athletic club for a fight be-
tween Corbett and Mitchell 1t is believed
impossible to pull off a fight that would
attract such worldwide attention as a
mill between these great fighters. The
law and order people would raise such a
hue and cry that the authorities would be
compelled to interfere. The sporting ele-
ment was badly beaten in their efforts tc
protect the ballot box suffers recently
tried at Buffalo to care to be in hurry to
try issues with the better element of Erie
county again.

Siddons the Favoritc.

NEW YORK, March i5.--Jack Skel,' has
almost finished his training for his fight
with George Siddons, which takes place on
Monday night mt Coney Island. II 10 said
that Tom O'Rourke and George Dixon
will be behind Skelly. Dixon has said that
he believes Skelly will win in less than n
rounds. When Siddon heard this predic-
ton he said well, why would not Dixon
say nice things about Skellyp Skelly gave
him very easy job at New Orleans, and
Dixon made sl2,50o in a walk. Seems 70
me that would do the same thing IL was
In Dixon's place" The betting is about
five TO three ON Siddons AZ present.

entering the college. There were several
skirmishes later In the evening The police
finally dispersed the rival factions.

BUSY AS BEAVERS.
The Pavilion Is Veritable Beehive of
Exhibitors.

Mechanics Pavilion is at present the busi-
est center In the city. What with unique
designs for displays and ability to produce
pleasing effects and the gathering in of
products, one is struck with amazement.
Mechanics Institute is putting In wooden
piping for the distribution of hot ARA
much-needed improvement for a midwinter
display. Yesterday morning an immense
supply of redwood foliage arrived from
Sonoma County. This foliage is all roped
into festoon ribbons. One can form some
idea of the massiveness of the coming dis
play from the fact that not less than two
miles of fesIooning will be put in place, and
all to be ornamented with oranges and holly
berries.
Alameda County will have 1000 jars of
canned Hfruits. and vegetables galore The
county will have two sets OF cylinder shely-
ing around pillars Of the building. and fine
archway. Among her attractions will be
jars OF composite fruits and vegetables, each
jar being 10 inches in diameter and feet in
height. These jars will contain as high rs
10 varieties beautifully arranged for the
blending of colors. This display Is under
the management of l.. A. and +. Z. Emay
of Oakland. They state that the Super
visors Of Alameda held back their appro-
priation until they found that her citizens
