apparently angry because he had heard that
Mitchell circulated report lew days ago that
the Ryan McAulif1e limited contest was going
TO be fake, and that Ryan would not try TO
defeat the champion lightweight. McAullffe is
anxious now &c prove To The public by WINNING
Mitchell in limited contest that Ryan did try
TO win when they boxed in the Grand Opera
house. McAutfe Is showing considerable
pluck by Off ring to fight Mitchell.
There is no doubt that he is as clever as the
middlr-weight and would make matters very
interesting for Young Mitchell in a limited
contest, as he is the quicker of the TWO and can
hit hard.
In a finish contest Mitchell would have all
the advantage, aud in all probability would
whip the clever lightweight. However, con-
test that would please The sporting public
more than any of the proposed bouts would be
a second meeting between Ryan and Mitchell.
! lie many patrons of fsticufts who witnessed
the Mitchell and Ryan contest in Oakland are
divided IN their opinions as IL who Is tile better
man, and this question can be easily decided If
Mitchell Will but agree 10 meet Ryan again.
The latter is aching for another brush with
Mitchell, but the Californian has concluded
that the game is TOO hard and would rather take
on McAuliile, who is little fellow alongside
the mIdde-weigbt Mitchell would not be ac-
comprising any great trick TO whip McAulifte
even In limited contest, but on The other hand
be would add very great feather to his
plumed cap by meeting and whipping Ryan, a
man who is In MltChelPS class.

performances COrbett should certainly defeat
Mitchell under Queensberry rules. II the con-
test were TO be decided under he London prize
ring rules Mitchell would stand the better
chance OF success. that is. provided be is a
SOUND man physically. The Englishman has
led pretty gay life and unless his constitution
is that of iron the amount of damage it has
sustained from John Barleyc orn must neces-
sarily be of a damaging nature. Corbett, on
the other hand, has not been on the turf long
enough 10 feel the heavy strain Occasioned by
fast living, consequently he must be physically
d far better man than Mitchell.
Summing up the fighters from every point of
view Mitchell has only one advantage over his
opponent, and that is in hitting. dis blows are
more vicious and dangerous than Corbetps, and
considering that he (AiilchelD is a lar more agile
man than Sullivan, the Californian will need
exercise both care and judgment in the early
part OF the game, that the Engllshman viii not
get within miXng-up distance, as in hot rally
Mitchell is very liable to land his auctioUeer OF
the champions chin. which might possibly
mean the handing over of the championship TO
England's pet pugilist. Sir Charles

every advantage, and should he whip Mitchell

AN EASY VICTIM.
A Colorado Miner Made to Yield a
Roll of Notes.

Joseph Dawn Of Breckenridge. Colo. who
has been a guest at the Grand Hotel. is
mourning the loss of 500 in gold and $500
in green backs.
Dawn and his friend, 81. Mccullough of
Denver. Colo, have been taking in the
sights during the past week. On Thurs
day Dawn's partner went uptown, and
soon after bald-headed man about 80
years of age dropped into the Grand and
told Dawn that his partner could not re-
turn as he had promised; that he was in a
game and wished him to come up. Dawn
went with the stranger, and, piloted by
the latter, reached a house of neat appear
ance somewhere in the vicinity of Ellis
and Taylor Streets-the exact locality not
being identified by Dawn. They stepped
inside. where three men were found
seated. The spokesman for the trio told
the Colorado miner that his partner had
just left.
Meantime Dawn realized that the place,
despite its exterior appearance, was a hard
location. On the table were some faro
chips and in an open drawer was large
sized revolver.
Being unarmed the visitor from ColoradO
was at the mercy of the scoundrels. who
relieved him OF all his valua bles, he being
glad enough TO get away without suffering
further harm. The ruse by which he was
inveigled to the house showed that bolE
he and his partner had been CLOSELY
watched; but the only regret Dawn ex
presses is that, owing TO his unfamiliarity
with the city, he is not able to Identity the
house to which he was taken and thereby
get on the track of the confidence sharps

VIII be The greatest little man heavy weight
who has ever fought under the new rules.
1t is almost certain that Mitchell does not in
tend to make long fight as by so doing he
would be giving Corbett a target at which to
shoot at long range. Mitchell has always been
an aggressive fighter and il IS by taking a good
punching that h hopes to force Corbett to the
ropes and there exchange blow for blow at
short range. The Californian must necessarily
accomplish considerable footwork to avoid the
Englishman's rushes as Mitchell will not stand
away and permit James to iab him ''out OF
sight,"
Although surprising to a good many it will
not De startling news 10 the writer to hear of
M ltcbell compelling Corbett to Go considerable
pedestrianism In the first few rounds of the
contest.
The Californian will certainly not take any
chance OF grtting within close quarters of
Mitchell until after he has cooled the ardor
of the Enelishman by presenting him with a
few good strong California PUNCHES. Mitchell,
according to good authority, has a dangerous
way of uppercutting and will not hesitate to
take every advantage of landing sharply on
Corbetrs jaw In the breakaway from cliDch.
SO far as uppercuttin is concerned he will not
have an opportunity OF doing much of that
style of fighting as the Californian has other
ways OF avoiding punishment without having
TO resort to duckiDg. Rushing and ciuclinp
will be Mitcbell's game. By the former he
will expect to get within hard furnishing dis
lance of Corbett, and should be fail to land he

Californian will gradually prove to Mitchell

ANGLING.
Sweeping Away of the Paper Mill
DAM

In nshing there is very little TO chronicle this
week. The streams became rivers during the
recent storms, and an idea of how the water
rushed down the Paper-mill Creek can be
CLEANED from the fact that the dam at the
papermiIls was swept completely away. This
will be welcome news to anglers, who have
often wondered why such an obstruction to n sh
was tolerated by the Fish Commissioners. The
steelheads viii now have ''cear sailing to the

that a lake in Maine has been stocked with

trout OF Europe, 5. fario, are called 'brown

called yellow troul,' and in Germany they are
called Bachiorelle, or just plain brook trout,
and not brown trout at all. The fish are foun d

the MERGED people would add 5000 TO the purse,
an announcement which was greeted with ap-
pause by the crowd present.
LII was proposed by Mr.. Tiernan that twenty
members subscribe SO each for the purpose
OF hiring special car from the railway COM
pany TO convey the sporismen and their dogs
TO Merced for the eventful meeting. The
necessary amount was subscribed in a few
moments.
HE stakes were then fixed as follows: First

dogs, $50 each. and dogs winning TWO courses,
$40 each Entries on Monday, February 10.
Dogs from Santa Clara, San Jose, Napa. Sac

now IN hard work for the meeting, and 1t is
certain that at least sixty-four ers will go to

Hon James @. Mcguire, House Of Representatives.,

patch:
The proposed wine tariff would be certain

You are aware undoubtedly that many millions
OF dollars are employed in California In the viii
cultural interests. which have made valuable
lands that otherwise would have be en- valueless;
out you are not aware. presume. of the fact that
the wine industry is now and has been for the
past three or four years in very depressed con-
dition.
The production of wine in California and the
Eastern states is now more than the consum pti on
IN the United States. If the doors were opened

her I'M mense crop OF wine into the markets of
New York and New Orleans, it would. 1 assure
you be the last straw that would break the wine

Please remember your remark that "wine is a
injury, and therefore there is no reason for re-
ducfng the tariff on wine.
