sHARKEY A STAR.
He VIII Not Enter the Ring for Amy
Small Purse.


SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 9.-Dan
Lynch a hacker and manager Of
Sharkey, said last night his protege is
residing at Vallejo, and he has heard
nothing substantial. relative to a purse
for a fight between himself and Maher;
that is, so far as the Nevada stake is
concerned. 81 consider that Sharkey
is as big a drawing card as either Fitz-
simmons or Corbett yet l am willing to
match Tom against Maher in a contest
to a finish if Stuart will hang up a
purse of $10,000," said Lynch. AS
there is only a limited time for the men
to train properly for finish fight, which
must be pulled off in Nevada on the
18th Of March, I have reason to be-
l1eve that the men will not meet in the
Sage Brush state. l had a talk with
Wheelock, one of the Stuart managers,
when he was in this city, and / then
gave him to understand that if Stuart
was looking for a. second attraction
and had Maher and Sharkey in view,
he must put up $4,000 or there would
not be fight. Wheelock thought that
the amount of the purse was too much,
but when 1 handed him a telegram
which l received from a prominent
Eastern sporting man concerning an
offer made by one Of the big Eastern
clubs for a ten or fifteen round con-
test between Maher and Sharkey, he
changed his mind and said he wrote
Stuart and explained the situation. I
have heard nothing since from Wheel
ock or Stuart, and I presume their
silence means there will not be a meet
ing between Peter and Tom in Nevada.
If a match were made, I would not
hesitate to back Sharkey in any sum
from $1,000 to $4,000 a side, but Mr..
Sller would not be the referee"

very we'll for the fine breeds on eXhi-

1t all his way, as he took first prizes

what conscious over their victory and
strutted with pomp and pride up and
down their narrow quarters. The list

things:

cleaning out the wells and pot holes; Iakng
some walks, steps and platform bridges

safe places, that points of interest can be
reached; conducting water from springs IN
and through the park; building a rustic wall
perhaps 1906 feet long, of the native loose
stone, IN keeping with the character Of the
park, which should run from the bridge to
the school house; fencing the remainder Of
the park; building some small pav;lious or
shelter toilet and lavatory rooms, lookouts
ETC., there should be an appropriation of at
least $4,000 for each of the years 1897 and
1898. To extend ira park to the lever Dalles
acquiring about fifty acres at the top CT the
