NEW YORK, March H.-Young Driilo

blematic Of the 1873 pound championship
of the world. Critic is anxious TO Sc
cure the trophy. for nc believes that' az

had the best OF the argument ne Is en-
titled to the belt. Yesterday GTlHo IS

Having proved to the satisfaction OF
the sporting public my ability 10 cope
favorably with all the pugilists III ana
out of my class, l now make known
my desire TO compete for the light-"elght
championship Of America, and the Deit
emblematic OF that title. There seems
to be some misunderstanding as to the
holder of the title. one Horace VI.
Leeds, who laid claim TO it, met me d
short time ago before the Seaside ATM
ietic Club. and ] defeated him. when
settles all doubts as TO his claim. L
now want to meet the champion, or rain
err the holder of the championship belt,
and contest for the same before the
Seaside Athletic Club. Come now, let
me hear from the champion. or rather
the holder Of the belt. | don't propose
to take part in any tournament, IN order
ready proved that beyond question or
a doubt
The belief is uppermost in CRITICS. mind
that Jack McAulifc owns the emblem.
AS the Australian has already met and
had the best of a limited round bout with
McAuliffe. Critic declares that Jack has
no right to the belt now. II will fight
him again for it," said Critic to the sun
reporter yesterday. Let him come To
tho front; beat him once. and l can DO
IL again"
AprOpOs Of this. Critic manager
Hughy Behan. made declaration yes
terday to the reporter that his man
wouldn't mind taking a trial at Cham
pion Corbett for four rounds Of one min
ute each. lie proposes that the affair
be held in Madison-Square Garden. and
that the proceeds be donated 10 charity.
Behan is confident that Corbett will not
subduc ms man in that time. Corbett
was surprised to learn that the Antipo-
dean boxer desired 10 meet him. When
the humor Of the proposition dawned
upon him. he laughed and said He
must be crazy. He's a clever fellow, but
he's too fresh. Why don't he fight Kid
Laviguc? I'll back Layignc for $1,000
against Critic, and I'll bet Layigne will

NEW ORLEANS, March li.--Judge
King. of the civil District Court, render
ed his decision this morning in the i'm
parchment proceedings against Mayor
Fitzpatrick which he has had under ad-
Nisement since the arguments We're heard
some weeks ago. The opinion is lengthy
and comprehensive and deals with the
case thoroughly. II begins by telling how
the tria! was one which had been watch
ed with considerable interest by the pub
lie. ana that u was a case of vital inter
est. The opinion also stated that on the
result OF the trial depended considerable
for the respondents. as much OF his future
character would depend on il. The judge
then read the definition OF malfeasance
in office and what duties were imposed
upon the Mayor and other city officers
and read from the city charter what Off
GERS compose the city administration. and
told now the Mayor was obliged 10 report
from time 10 time the condition OF the
city. That he should suspend any officer
negligent in his duties. How he should
examine and have the vetoing power of
all ordinances. The duties Of the other
city officers were defined, as was also the
personnel and powers OF the city Coun-
ell, and stated that the power OF the
council Is so extended dr. TO give IL nearly
entire control OF the city.
The summing up is complete vindica-
ton Of the Mayor and acquits him on
every charge of malfeasance.
