NEW YORK, Jan. D, 1893
 One, two. thIee, four, we march m d line, Is now well stamped upon the mInd of England's crack boXsr anG Tn another shorC Week from the date of this letter be will Tee i've hls graduating diploma fir, m F, ntCnviie. Char Icy knows a thing or two more about re- tired life now than he did month or SD ago, but that person is never too well informed 10 occaslonal.y Y -!ta7n something new. Mir. Mi5cheii can now walk through the streets of London lu d. quiet unassum ng ter, without craming his fist down the thrpats f any of the elderly gentlemen and in fact, no one will be awarO Of bus pTes sence unless they aatualiy force themselves upon him. The handsome son-in-.aw of tine distinguished Po0y Moore has been di, gusted with hIs mother country and he Is going to shake Eng. and dust from utf his shoes and leave the bloody, blasteG, blooming laGd for the shores of America where no one knows anything about his difficulty on the other side where he vii ba received with open arms and llonized by R cnard K. Fox. If M,tch- ell d Ies not get right down to business the moment he lands m thus country and slgn articles to fight Corbett he might just as well g.ve up the ghost; as he will not be feather hIgh in gale of wind With the sporting fraternity if he a tempts to commence any more of his wInd-bag tactics He has worked the American public on number of occasions, but he has about run to the end of his string. It was the style in which he squirmed out of fighting Cor bett the last time he Ies In th's coun try that made the Americans sour on him, and they will not tolerate any more of bis nonsen e. Charley was a very hanasome and dashing bird before ne scorched his feathers, but 1t IS thought now that he will be somewhat crest fallen when he sheds his present winter covering. He doubtle-s will be rather opposed to the scrutiny of the public and will probably be able to give many of his pUgilIst associates some val
 uable points regarding the danger Oi too free use of the knuckles outside the roped arena. That subject has received his entire thought if not attention dur ing the past pionth and what he does not know about it is scarcely worth Knowing.
 It Is hardly that there is any truth in the statement that the Crescent Club, of New Orleans, have decided rot to compete for any more of the big purse fights, as good game men do not lay down that easy. It Is true tn t the Coney Island Club gave them great fight when it came down to bidding for the Fitzsimm1ns Hall contest and the McAulIffe-Burge fight, bnt as the for mer was captured by t Crescents and the latter fell through. or rather Was decided of, there Is no reason why the Crescent Club should lie big purse on their hands t. wrestle with. Who knows but that the islanders may stand ready to funk just as quickly as any other club?
 The general impression here is that Jalk McAuliff has bitten off more than he can chew in unde taking to knock out three fret class men, ln four round h-ate, the same evening. In Billy Vernon alone he has a man W O Is liable to turn the table on him in short order. Vernon Is T. ally a middle weight, as he not possibly train dow n under 142 pounds. He has the advan- tage of McAdliffe in both hight and Is an unmercifully hard heitter. to which Austin GibbCns' brother Jim can testify. Some of tn Havestrdw sports wanted to try Vernon out in the early part Of 1889 to see if he was good enough to match against either Davis or Farley So they took him to Paterson 10 see what kind of showing he would make I'against Austin Gibbons who was then lu trainig for his fight with Jack Kener
 Jim Gibbons who IS heavyWighi pugilist vas afraid his brother Austin might injuTe his hand knocking out the Havestraw may, so he said ''I guess l will put on the gloves with the lad my self, and if there is any fight in him l will soon knock l. out. "J m went al Vernon like a blacksmith at piece of iron. Vernon not only proved himy elf likely man ard an exceptionally hard hitter, but he nocke1 Gibbons out in the fourth round and while Jim lay on the floor dead to the world, Vernon tried to coax Austin to get iLtJ the rIn. and give him a few rounds, but of course, ''theatrlcsl" engagements prevented him from accep ing the kind invitation. McAuliffe will doubtless find Vernon a pretty tough nut to crack, IS he is the youth wao knocked H t. Peckham out III OlC 1AAI u SCtOuNlS, SbI de eye, at ihs Mannattan Athletic Cub Another good clever man that Jack will attempt to dispose ofin four rounds is Horace Lee ds, of Atlaatic City, the present. amateur lightweight champion of America.
 Martin Coste. To is of the opinion that Hal and F. zslmnons will make good iaht, but that victory wlli poarch upoD
 hs banler of lanky Bob, who is a very much better man now han he was when he va q feated by Hail in Australia. There are people here hrwever, who do not think "r,tz" Is going 10 have the clnch be anticipates. Hnll made a very favorab el impression upon tbe New York sport by T style in which he smashtd and ba ged Joe Choyuski when ttey gaVe a sparrng exhibition in t4is city p.i to Halls fight with Ted Prichards. Fitzs mmons will doubtless toe the favoriLe in the betting. but tn re vii be any quantity of Hall money to be fDu d.
 It is ga d that Joan Daly, who was Cor oe1is sp .rring pa: tner a hile the h. iLg ta.Iforp an was preparing himself to ne { Sullivan can get oown and be strong e: ough to fight at the middle weight limit If such Is really the case D+iy @Ill make all the men m that class look siarp for theIr laurels, IS he is very far firm being mixed aie tigbtsr. Oaly'= work with Corbett them a world of g cd aCd when it comes down
 O meeting the men in the middle weight class he will De right in it with b. t feet. Laiy l. not ouly quick as d cat but good st if pun her and there is DO reason why be should not hold his own with men like Bob Fi zs mmons al d Jim Hall.
 Danny McB idle, of this city, is now making ma t-rs likely for Billy P,im- mer, the Engli h puQilst, who rasses as t .e chamrion 1l0 pound man of ih- world. Trimmer certaiuly holds the
