The boxing show OF the Star A. c.. held in the
clubs gymnasium. Union avenue and Ninth street,
Long Island City, on Saturday night. was poorly
fered by the club this year. and some rafting rood
fighting was witnessed. The sport began with a
81 -round bout. at los pounds. between Jack Hays
and Jim Johnson, both OF this city. They punched
each other hard from the start. As Johnson did
most of the leading he received the decision.
The second bout was between Billy Anderson,
long Island City, light weight. and VIII Wallace
OF this city. Wallace. up TO the NTH round, looked
like n winner, but matters suddenly changed, the
Long Islander hitting his man right and left. An.
dersOn got the decision.
The wind up was a sx. round "go' between Con
O'Brlen OF this city and Jack Curlev OF Jersey City
at los pounds. II was smash. bang, from the sound
OF the gong. both men doing some hard hitting. In
the third round Curley fought his man around the
ring. cutting open his left cheek and blackening
mis- eye. This seemed TO stir up the fighting blood OF
O'Bricn. who retaliated by smashing Curisy on the
side OF the head with n savage right. hander which
nearly put the Jersey maa to sleep. Referee Noble
declared the bout q draw.

his wife. and manager will leave for New York
on Monday or Tuesday. said last
night that Corbett will be accommodated with
q good side wager, and that he will see him ina
week or so to arrange particulars.
III Corbett is not satisfied with a side wager
Of $4,000 l think l can raise S25. 600 in New
York. don't believe because Corbett has Sc
cured such good financial support that lie will
fight all the better. am ready to meet him at
any time Stuart elects. and after we make final
arrangements in the East l will then rest for a
month or so before l settle down to a course OF
training.
Il met Sharkey this afternoon and the fellow
held his head down. whilo his eyes were riveted
on the sidewalk as he passed me. I always
thought Shnrkey held his head up In a proud
manner when he passed friend or foe. but |
guess he knows that the purse he won by a foul
decision belonged to me. and that Is ~ by he
cropped his eyes when he passed. Well. this
is not the first time | have had to put up with q
wrong decision. In q six-round contest with
Choynski at Boston Referee DAILY called the
match draw when l had all the better OF the
contest. which was stopped BY the police sfter
l had Knocked Choynski down at least a dozen
times.
We'll. I expect a square deal from Stuart and
Siler. and on the l 9TH or March next. IL every
thing goes well and good. you will see what I
will do with this fellow Corbett."

Americans winning by a score of 90 to "a. The

Manhattan Beach, when the American Whist
Club was the only one to make a tie with the
Hnmiltons in the trials for the championship.
The Hyde Park Club of Chicago. the holders OF

then beat the Brooklyns five tricks. Since then

and afterward hamilton beat Narragansett
nineteen tricks. After the Congress the Ameri-
cans lost tho services of Howell, who is now
captain of a team which is pledged to play moth

Howell's place.
