CYCLING NOTES.

A plan has been broa ched for the trans
as the New York Slaughter Pen into a
track for racing this summer. The idea
is TO have a quarter mile cement track
built inside the inclosure and give during
the summer evening races. Several names
have been mentioned in connection with it,.

W. W. Hamilton is likely 10 be arranged
to take place on Memorial Day at Cam
bridge. Mass. a purse of $1,000 is sug
gested.
The Cyclists Federation of New York
are considering the idea of presenting mile
age medals to its members who ride over
1 900 miles during the year.
Columbia College and the University of
Pennsylvania wheelmeu will take part in
the invitation collegiate meeting of the
Harvard Cycling Association on June 3.

Identified with racing in Philadelphia, and

rider, will probably inaugurate Il series of
lOng-distauce races during the coming sea-
son on one OF the big tracks. In fact, Mr..
Dampman Is now negotiating with man
ayers of different tracks for these events,
and it is possible that either the TiOga or

LANKY BOB MAY REFEREE
Likely to Be Selected for the
M'Aulifs- Lavigne Bout Tonight.
Dick Roche Declined TO Accent Tim
Hurst, but Was Satisfied whenthe
Champion Was Suggested.

New York, March 11.-There was 4 lively
| scene between Dick Roche. the well-known
bookmaker, and Sam Fitzpatrick when
they met at the st. James Hotel to select
a referee for the Jack cAulifrc George
Lavigne contest, which will be decided
at Madison Square Garden tonight
Dick Roche, usually calm and unruffled
under the most trying circumstances. lost
his self-cOntrol when Fitzpatrick pro-
posed abandoning the service of referee
altogether and favored the idea OF leaving
the public TO judge for itself between the
two men.
Mr.. Roche stated that it is looked upon
by the sporting fraternity as a real cham
pionshp contest. SO far so that the result
will enable definite lines to be dra wn be-
tween the comparative merits of the two
men, and the question had now narrowed
down TO the point OF no referee, no cou-
test
He then submitted the names OF Mike
Donovan. of the New York A. c.; Al
Smith, OF this city, and Jimmy Coviiie,
OF Boston, adding that these We're three
OF the best judges of boxing in this
country. and that any OF them would be
accepta BILE to McAuliffe.
Fitzpatrick finally agreed to have a
referee, but refused TO accept any of the
names submitted by Roche, and proposed
Ed Roth, Tim Hurst and Sam Austin.
Roche would not agree to any Of these
three. but on the suggestion of Bob Fitz-
simmons name jumped eagerly at it, As
also did Fitzpatrick. They both agreed
to see the champion and cndeavor to pre-
vail upon him TO accept the position of
referee.

HOW The JOCKEYS TRAIN
Evening Spent at Exercise to Keep
Down Their Weight.
Bag Punching, Wrestling, Club Swing
ing and Boxing INDUCED In by
Griffin and Others.

1t has been puzzle TO many patrons of
the turf. says IA New York exchange, how
Jockeys keep down 10 weight, and the pub
lie have often wondered at the fabulous
sums or money made by a Jockey in sea-
son for sitting astride II horse for q few
minutes every hour for half a day at a time
a glance into jimmy Geogan's private
training gymnasium will answer the for
mer question and show the public that a
Jockey fully earns his money. From $50
to 1890 every evening a lot OF jockies
are TO be seen working hard at the punch
ing bag. boxing, wrestling, club-swing-
ing, etc.
This Is how the nirDbe riders spend their
evenings. going through the ha riest kind
OF violent exercise in order to keep down
weight. Geogan is an all-around athlete,
and under his tutorship such knights OF
the pigskin as Harry Griffin, George Miller
and Charlie Ballard have accomplished
wonders in keeping down to weight, which
In this climate is no easy matter. Griffin
has increased in weight since his first
visit here. and It is common gossip that
few more years, perhaps the present, will
see the last OF Griffin as Jock"
Geogan's establishment is crowded near
ly every night by friends OF the Jockeys,
who take great delight in watching them
going through their exercise. Harry Grif-
fin is very clever In the art OF boxing,
and Geogan claims he can hit a harder
right-hand blow than any man of his
weight In the city. The left member 10
naturally favored on account OF the re-
cent break caused by the fall from Long
Lady New Years Day at Bay District,
but strength is gradually returning. Grif-
fin will surely return to the Eastern cir
cult stronger than ever. Griffin is also
a very neat club-swinger.
George Miller is quite an adept with the
gloves. and could easily hold his own with
anybody of his weight. Charlie Ballard
is rusher in anything he tries, and there are
few who can give him an 'Snent al wrest-
ling. When he puts on the gloves he will
fight without internission for three-quar-
tiers of an hour. All the boys are good bag
punchers, and would put some OF the pugi-
lists TO shame in that brand of exercise.

WILL ROW JUNE "a.
POughkeepsie Likely to BE the Cour>,
That VIII be Selected.

nat w Ill ne Selecteu-
New York, March 11.-Arrangemcnts for
the intercollegiate freshman regatta in
which Harvard, Columbia. Cornell ard
Pennsylvania are to compete have been
perfected. The race will be rowed on
June "a, two days previous to the uni
versity race over the last two miles OF the
varsity course. The change has been made
so as to allow plenty of time in case Of
rough water or stormy weather.
1t is generally believed that Poue ehkeepsic
is the course that will be chosen for the
race, both Columbia and Cornell favoring
1t, while it is Harvard's choice next to
Springfield. Penns ylvania alone favors the
Saratoga course.
Rules for the regatta are being fOrmu-
lated by correspondence, and will be ready
for adoption when the committee meets to
select a course, next Saturday evening.
The eligibility clause as to freshman can
didates has been given definite form. 1t
now reads that those eligible to row in the
race must be at that time in their first year
of attendance at the college which they
represent and taking technical general
course. Thus all special students aEd those
who have come from other colleges will
be debarred.

cORBETT EAGERTO FIGHT.
Will Sign the English Club A rticleS roI
Go With Eitz.

Pittsburg, Pa, March 11.-.James j.
Corbett said last night he had received a
telegram from Richard X. Fox, notifying
him that Sam Austin would arrive in Pitts
burg with the National Sporting Club ar
ticies, TO which Corbett's signature is
wanted. Asked if he will sign the agree
ment for the fight with Fitzsimmons, Cor
bett said:
"Will I! / cannot do it too quick 10
suit myself. and place myself in a proper
position before the people OF this city and
of the whole world. 'Fitz' may ignore me-
and all that, but just the same / am ready
and willing to fight at any time and place
for any amount of money. / shall sign
the articles of agreement on the stage to-
morrow evening. when shall ma kc a short
speech. While l have many friends here,
i also have enemies, and l want to talk 10
them specially.
The recent passage of the anti-pugi-
listic bill by Congress, and its approval
by President Cleveland, has been, in my
judgment, a final blow to fighting in this
country. If any of the big fighters want
to get together now they will have to go
to some place else, that is one reason why
think that the offer of the London club
for 4 go between 'FitZ' and myself should
be accepted"

Hugh McCarron Relates His Expert

Are without Money.

New York, March 11.7An inquiry wa.
made al the Jockey Club yestcrda y concern
! ing the outla wed owners who were rein
| stated by the Jockey Club last fall, and
| whose entries were afterward ordered to
be refused by secretaries on tracks under
| the Jurisdiction of the Jockey Club for be-
ing concerned in horses running on the cut
la wed ira cks after the reiDstatcments were
made. The question put TO A ssistant Secre-
| tary F. o. Hanlon was whether the owners
under the ban could race their horses on
Western tracks.
MIR. HanIon's reply was that the owners
and horses that were reinstated last fall
were not ruled off by the Jocke Y Clubs sub
seQueDt ruling, their entries were only Or
dered refused. This will not interfere with
their racing in the West under the Turf
Congress rules so far as the Jockey Club
is concerned, as there is no connection be-
tween the Turf Congress and the Jockey
Club At the present time.
1t is now left entirely with the Western
people whether they accept or reject en-
tries OF the owners concerned. The outla ws
who did not apply for reinstatement are
shut out from both the Jockey Club and the
Turf Congress. but those who are affected
by the recent ruling OF the Jockey Club still
have a chance in the West, providing the
Turf Congress does not pass resolution
similar to the one on the docket of the j Jockey
Club.
Frank Weir, who is one of the men most
affected, has applied for rehearing in
his case, when he will ask that his entries
may be accepted by secretaries on the
Jockey Club tracks. as there is some mis-
take about his being connected with any
horse running on a u outla wed track after he
was reinstated. He will produce evidence
to this effect at his hearing, which will be
held in the near future.
