Cycling NOW IN HEAVEN.
Minneapolis W heelman was killed
the other day by a locomotive on the
Northwestern track. The parents and
friends of the young man deserve the
keenest sympathy, and his tragic death
will be warning to all other youths

CoRBETT AND JACKSON.
A number OF local sporting men are
still engaged in the attempt to secure

or San Cemente island. The managers
of the pugilists have looked upon the
proposition favorably, and it is likely
they will accept the $4,000 purse if
there can be any guarantee of no inter-
ference from the authorities. The idea
has secured more than a mere hold
upon the sporting gentlemen who have
the affair in charge.
