my opinion Will never be equaled in the

$4,000 was offered for McAuliffe and

A fortune for two fighters? The Coney
Island Athletic Club was princely, they
said.
But when they recovered from the shock
and thought the matter over carefully

made in good faith. And when the string
which was attached to the $45 900 offer was

the cry of insncerity was raised. Who

Corbett- Mitchell mill is the same kind
of a jolly and an Advertising scheme?
Shrewd thinkers of sporting life look be-
meath the surface and discover the truth
beneath the veneer Of fake.
But here's another proposition: Grant

is on the level and the Coney Island Of
ficials mean business, will the authorities
permit the fight to come off in that State?
To this the Coney Island magnates will
reply. in the language Of those who live
by the sea. Cert" They will add that
a glove fight comes within the provisions
Of the law governing fighting-a glove
contest, in fact.
The preliminaries to a battle OF such
magnitude as that between Corbett-
Mitchell will occupy much space in the
newspapers. With two such men match
ed the interest will be keen. 1t will be
an international battle. Those who ordi-
narily take little interest In pugilism will
In this instance be anxious TO secure all
the information obtainable. I think that
the Coney Island people are taking and

In a word, Newton didn't want II TO

PtCIFIC WHEELMEN.
AZ Meeting Last Night They Re
solved to BuiId a Racefrack.

The Pacific Wheelmen held their
regular monthly meeting last
night at Z 80 o'clock at the Homo
lulu cyclery. There was full at
tendance, about sixteen members
being present.
The chief subject under discus
sion was a proposition for the club
to build a racing track for purposes
of practice and exhibition, to be
constructed upon the latest and
most improved plans, such as have
been followed in constructing the
fastest tracks in England and the
United States.
After the subject was thoroughly
discussed and decided upon
committee of three consisting of
Il. Dexter, George ii. Paris and
Henry Giles, was appointed to ar
range and negotiate for the con-
struction of the track, to be located
at some suitable and central point
in Honolulu. The track will be
circula- and not less than a quarter
of a mile in length, with the
proper deolivity toward the center
to insure safety and speed. 1t is
expected that the track will cost
$1,000 or more, as the arrangements
of the committee may necessitate.
The committee will begin investi-
cations and preparations at once,
so as to be able to make report to
the club at the next monthly meet
ing, and the track will be COM
pleted as soon thereafter as is
found practical. 1t was determined
that hereafter the club will not hold
any more races on the King street
track.
The meeting adjourned at 10
o'clock.
