SPORTING MISCELLANY.

The preparations for the initial bouts
Of the Atlantic Athletic Club on Coney
Island next Monday evening are OF an
unusual sort. and indicate radical de-
parture from the former customs of
such organizations. The Sea Beach
Palace has been overhauled and ex-
tensiyely altered, to make of It a model
amphi theatre, in which every sitter will
see the bouts with greatest possible
ease and comfort The ushers are being
drilled under the eye of Chief James
Reilly, and ticket holders will be seated
promptly and properly without confu-
sion. Another important innovation will
be the presence of an efficient corps of
fremen. The new arena Is nearly COM
plete. The ring itself will be a sub
stantial and prettily decorated affair,
being upholstered in plush. Music may
be made a feature of the entertain
ments, and negotiations are under way
| to secure a flrst-class orchestra for the
opening.
The bout OF the evening Will, OF
course. be that between Joe Walcott,
Tom O'Rourke's colored wonder, and
Austin Gibbons, the well-known New
Billy Ernst, the Bushwick boxer, will
