SPORTING MISCELLANY.

A uniformly good class Of boxers is
the array Of talent announced for the
opening exhibition Of the Seaside Ath.
letic Club at Coney Island on Wednes-
day night. The bout OF the night Is the
ten-round go between Mike Leonard and
Eddie Pierce. The Brooklynite has a
reputation to sustain. and his worst
defeat was suffered at the hands of
| Pierce. The latter returns to the ring
with the stigma OF a decisive defeat by
George Dixon as the blot which rests
upon creditable record. AT catch
weights Leonards strength should give
him an advantage, but the Sixth Warder
is a snifty and scientific boxer and has
been training faithfully to make his re-
turn to the squared circle an occasion of
glory for him. Danny Mcbride and Jack
Down RnoW;ney should should make clever bout of

and Jim Holmes both have names to
