Sporting Notes.
At Boston last night the Choynski-God-
frey fight was declared off, owing to the
fact that the boxers in the contest of last
night, Wolcott and O'Brien, were sum-
n,oned to appear before tine authorities.
The attendance was very small, not large
enough to pay the boxers guarantee.
Johnny Van Heest has made numerous
efforts to get on fight with George Dixon.
If victorious in his fight with George Smith
before the Eureka Club Monday, he will
make Dixon fight or will claim the feather
weight championship of the world.
The Alexander Island officials have fin
ished their Investigation into the riding of
Jockey Washburn on Irish Pat last Satur-
day and Washburn will remain on the
ground for the next thirty days.
p. j. Dryers friends will regret to learn
that his colt Handspring, which was kick
ed by Axiom in the race for the Futurity,
is quite lame. The injury seems to affect
the colt more and more daily, and 1t is
probable that he will not be able to race
again this year.
John Higgins, who trains Pierre IoriI-
lards horses, yesterday notified Mr.. LoriI-
lard that he would go to England for a
campaign there next season if Mr.. Loril-
lard SO desired.
