against Joe Choynski, who has recently
been matched to fight that foul mouthed
Goddard. The latter had the call. so
Jeffries will have to wait. Perhaps, 1t
is just as good that Delaney avoided Sir
Joseph for the present, as the latter is
feeling in great fighting shape, and will
probably render a very good account of
himself when in the ring with the Aus
tralian fighter. Jeffries is young yet,
and though being coached by a great
ring teacher and tactician, he has plenty
to learn that will do him good.
The most interesting battle to be
fought within the next sixty days is that
between Dave Sullivan and Pedlar Pal
mer. The little ones will meet in Eng
land, for the championship of the world,
and rumor has it that the American is
being looked upon as suspicious by the
most knowing ones in the old country.
Sullivan and Palmer will be well
matched, and as they are both very
clever the best fight of recent times will
be apt to be fought when they enter the
ring. Americans are. backing their man
freely with coin of the realm.

saws eight rounds are enough for any
pugilistic contest. Permits will be issued
in that city for eight-round bouts, but
not for longer events.
Joe Goddard has already made a state
ment which should attract much atten-
ton and do great deal toward putting
an end to the controversy between Fitz
and Corbett. Goddard has come out
boldly with the announcement that he
wants to fight Corbett, and that very
badly. The Barrier man is even willing
to match himself against Corbett con-
tingent on his defeating Sharkey. Here
is the golden opportunity for Corbeit.
He should fight Goddard and show the
great American public that he IS still
in the championship class. If he beats
Goddard he will be a formidable man
in the eyes of the sporting world, and
Fitz could not we'll refuse him return
battle. Now, If Corbett still believes he
is the best fighter in the world, here is
his chance.
The match between Joe Goddard and
Joe Choynski, which the National Ath-
letic club of San Francisco has secured
for November attraction, should prove
great contest. These men met twice
before, in February and July, 1891. The
first battle was in Sydney, Australia,
and the second in Melbourne. The con-
tests lasted four rounds each and they
we're of the whirlwind order, victory
perching on the banner of the Barrier
Giant. Since that time Choynski has i'm

SPORT AFIELD

A quiet, but none the less determined,
effort is being made by certain of the
market hunters Of this county to Sc
cure repeal of the anti shipping or
dinance adopted by the county board of
supervisors week before the hunting
season opened. Anticipating organized
opposition from the sportsmen OF the
city, the matter has been quietly con-
Quoted, and several members of the
board have been sounded to ascertain
their views on the subject. How much
satisfaction the men who kill game for
money and, not for sport, got out of
heir interviews is not known, but it is
understood that a long petition is soon
o be presented to the board. This will
bear the signatures of a number of per-
sons, few of them hunters and none of
hem sportsmen. That the ordinance is
Just what the sportsmen desire is shown

The Smart Drummer,

A certain Bangor drummer, on whom
it is generally difficult to play joke, got
one right plump in that portion of his
anatomy conscealed by his collar, the 9th
er day on the Bucksport train. He had
been down there selling goods, and on the
return to Bangor had taken the rear seat
in the last car. At North Bucksport a
after leaving the station she made run
the whole length of the car to the rear
door.
Her sudden movement caused much
surprise in the car, and no one seemed to
know just what to do except the Bangor
drummer, who was perfectly cool under
the excitement. He knew what was up
he did. Yes, indeed, he knew that the
woman was bent on committing suicide
by throwing herself from the swiftly
moving train to the cruel "a lis, there to
meet her death by striking hard on her
Uranium. 1t was terrible moment, but
the Bangor drummer was equal to the oc-
casion. Was he ratified? Not bit of it,
AS the woman was about to dash out
the car door he seized her firmly around
the waist. My! How cool he was! He
knew the way to save life. She struggled
in his grasp, but he held her as in wise.
She grew red in the face and chol1ed with
indignation. He held her for dear life
and gasped: Madam, you shan't jump
off the car and kill yourself!'
= Finally she got her breath and shrieked /:
"You big fool, I was only going out on
the platform to wave my handkerchief
to my friendsl''
A party of Bangor yachtsmen aboard
the train applauded the drummer for his
heroism fully half an hour and at inter
walls thereafter.

the remuneration of Alexandria to
that district. He needn't give himself
the slightest concern about that mat
ter. Virginia was robbed OF one.third
Of her territory by the federal govern
ment during the war between the
States, becauae she could not prevent
it, though that government maintained
she was not out of the Union, and
though the Constitution expressly pro-
hibited such robbery; but Mr.. Ross can
rest assured that having the courts to
assist her now, she will surrender no
more. If Washington must have add
tional territory, let her buy it on her
Own, the north, side of the river, the
people of which last year expressed
themselves as dead opposed to Vir'
GINA and all her interests. Washing
ton has been the bane Of Alexandra
ever since the disastrous result of the
war, and now she would even abolish
her corporate existence and tax her
people to support the hordes OF idle ne
groes who have focked there from the
farms in Virginia where their labor il
wanted.
