GENERAL SPORTS.

1t was disappointment to the sport
Ing fraternity In the beginning OF the
week to have to forego the pleasure Of
witnessing James Judge. champion
lightweight boxer OF Northeastern
Pennsylvania. and Mike Leonard. OF
Brooklyn as principals In q joint fisti-
cum debate at Nanticoke. Ex-Burnt
Cork Artist George w. Turner. Leon
ards manager, could not persuade
Judge to enter the ring without q
guarantee that a certain satisfactory
amount OF forfeit money would be
posted In some responsible mans
hands. SO that the champion would
have some thing for his trouble II the
authorities stepped In and prevented
the fight. They could not agree on this
and SO the fight did not come
of. 1t Is not likely that
Judge and Leonard will meet at Nanti-
coke next Tuesday evening. as the au-
thorities there have this week shown
disposition to prevent any fighting
there. Judge Is willing to meet Leon
ard. but he Is out for what's In 1t, and
does not propose to train for nothing.
However. the disgruntled sports were
to certain extent compensated by the
races at Carbondale on the Fourth OF
July. Three interesting events were
on the card, and many Scranton lovers
or equine fleetness were rewarded by
winning bets on Maggie Davis, the fast
pacing mare owned by John +. Davis,

Yachtsmen cannot help but be sur
prised at the statement attributed to
Lord Dunraven that Valkyrie III. and
no other British yacht will come to
America to race for the Americas cup.
After her race with Britannia and
Ailsa the opinion was freely expressed,
both here and abroad, that Valkyrie
III. Is disappointment. IT, indeed, not
worse Her chief owner says she is all
right. He Is a clever yachtsman and
ought to know what he is talking about.
Alterations In her hull, spars and
sails. however. are necessary. This his
lordship admits. That she Is overcan-
vased was patent by the way she "lay
down" when under an ordinary work.
ing topsail In a moderate wind. But
some lead In her keel and few hun.
dred yards off Of her sails may work
wonders with the yacht. Defender will
probably make her trial trip in a day
or two. Valkyrie III. will start for
America on Aug. 6. She ought to be-
gin the voyage earlier, as the first Of
the international races is set down for
Sept. Z. Should she make slow voy-
age she would not have time to flt out
between her arrival and the day set
for the first race.

GENERAL SPORTING NOTES.

The Scotch yachting critics stronclv
condemn the manner in which the Val.
kyrie III was handled Thursday, and
declare that two minutes time was
wilfully thrown away between the Kill
croggan mark and the commodore's .
boat on the first round. It has been de-
cided not to alter her sail plan.

State Comptroller Finley has given
the Corbett- -Ftzsimmons fight at Dal-
las a set back. In a letter to the tax
collector. he says: while the act OF
1889 provides for an occupation tax Of
$500 for every fight between man and
man. the legislature of this state has,
by subsequent enactment. made II un-
lawful for any person to voluntarily
enter into q pugillstic encounter for
money or upon the result whereof any
money IL wagered That the effect OF
the said act was to repeal 30 much of
the act Of 1889 as permitted an occupa-
tion tax to be charged for fights be.
tween man and man has been decided
by our court of criminal appeals. You
are therefore respectfully advised that
this department will not attempt to le-
galixe the proposed pugilistic encounter
In this state by the issuance of q IL
Cenge."
