reached the Eureka clubhouse on a brief
visit from ReisterStown, where the colored
fcatherwcight champion of the South is in
training for his contest with Danny Nc
Bride, which takes place before the Eureka
Athletic Club next Monday night.
The fashionably y-knickerbockcred cyclist
was Jack Ward. the clever bantam, and he
was giving Ulman, though much larger
maa, a hard tussle, when a general discus
sion arose as to the relative pcdaling powers
of The four boxers. Two more wheels were
soon secured and the quartet. all wearing
heavy sweaters, started in n four-Iniie race
To Ramia's Hotel, Oh the North Point road.
Ulman. who is preparing for his bout with
Mike Brennan next Monday night in the
eight-round preliminary, had a big lead for
nearly quartero of the Course, when I he other
three gave chase. Gradually dra wing
closertot the middle weight, they were bunch

were ON even terms, hot finish follow wed.
