TO SHARKEY,
Will Fight for the Largest Purse
offered and a Big Side
Wager.
The Conqueror OF Van Buskirk Debars
"Fltz" and Cor b,tt and All Men
of Color.

Tom SharKey is now journeying in the
direction of the rising sun, accom- panied
by that remarkable referee and all.round
sport. Wyatt carp.
The sailor pugilist expects to meet the
Irish heavyweight champion, Peter
Maher, in contest of twenty rounds be-
fore one of the boxing clubs of New York.
and rumor says that Sharkey will insist
that Mr.. carp must act as referee, but it
is presumed that Mr.. carp will not accept
the honorable" position for reasons that
are best known to himself.
Anyhow Sharkey is travelling eastward,
ostensibly for the purpose of proving to
Peter Maher that he can hit harder and
stand more solid punishment than either
Corbett or Fitzsimmons.
The dispatches do not say whether Maher
is really afraid to meet the sailor, or
whether he believes in silence as being a
cardinal virtue at this juncture, when loud
talking may be a means of dra wing the
wrath of the powers that be on the heads
of the boxing club managers who have
made arrangements for the contest.
Sharkey may whip the Irishman, but
the general opinion of all ring-foIlowers
is that Tom will run against q game this
time that will surprise him. 1t can be
said, and without the least fear of contra
diction. that if Maher lands one of his pet
right hand punches on the jaw of the
man who stood before 'Fitz" and Corbett
the receiver will be afforded an oppor-
tunity of feeling the sensation that arises
from Knockout blow.
AS the matci between Maher and
Sharkey has not been consummated as
yet, and as there may be many obstacles
thrown in the way of a meeting between
the two heavy-weights, Sha-key can rest
assured OF one thing and that is a passage
alarms between himself and Jim Jeffrles,
the champion heavyweight of Southern
California, who made short work of Van
BuskirS last Friday evening
Jeffries' manager, Tom Mcdonald, has
authorized the publication of challenge
to Sharkey. Mr.. Mcdonald states that if
Snarkey will consent to meet Jeffries in
this City in a contest of from ten to
twenty rounds there will not be any fiji
Guilty in signing articles of agreement,
provided that the entire purse Will go to
the winner and each principal deposit
$4,000 as a side stake two weeks before tie
day of the fight. Jeffries' hacker states
further that he Will not permit his charge
TO fight colored man; he draws the line
there; but any white man, excepting Cor
bett and Fitzsim mons, can have brush
with the new aspirant to high honors, pro-
vided that side wager OF $4,000 will form
part OF the agreement over the sigma.

matter was reported to Collector Wise,
who wrote to the Secretary of the Treas
ury, making inquiry as to the right OF tbs
inspectors to charge or collect fees Tor per-
forming their duties on Sundays or holi-
days. Yesterday the Collector received
the following reply:
Replying to your letter OF the Ist inst, the
department has to advise you that as inspec-
tors are paid for their services per diem, they
are subject to the performance of official duty
on Sundays and holidays. An officer refusing
to obey an order TO discharge vessel on Sun
day should be at once reported for insubordi-
nation.
AS matter of special consideration, the de-
partment has provided that they may be re-
neved from duty on a succeeding day, or on
so much thereof as will represent the time oc-
cupied in official duty on any Sunday or holi-
day.
The inspectors referred to will take out
In leisure hereafter what they have
hitherto received as perquisites. While
their gross receipts will be less they will
have more time for study and for the cuI-
tivation OF the arts and sciences. Ship
ping masters will also be relieved from a
tax which many of them thought to be
unnecessary.

poor showing made by st. Distaff. Sam
said that last time out the boy hustled the
horse out in front and he died away at the
finish. Yesterday Shields was instructed
to make his run in the stretch, but the
horse had no speed.
The run of Hermoso did not suit the
judges, and Jones was questioned about
it. He SAID the colt wanted to run out at
the head of the stretch, and that proved
satisfactory.
1t is to be regretted the officials did not
question Manly Bergen as to why he began
taking Taranto back three furlongs from
home. If these jockeys with bank roll
can do as they like it is about time the
turf congress gathered together and
drafted some new rules that can't be
broken with impunity.

living al No. 36n3 o street northwest. and
employed By the MetZerott Music Gem
pany. met with 4 peculiar and serious ac-
oiGent about ] o'clock this afternoon. while
work. Schellhorn was washing a win
dow in the store at the side of the ele-
vator shaft, and apparently lost sight of
the fact that the elevator weight, which
is very heavy, was ascending or descend
ing almost constantly. While engaged in
rubbing the side of the window toward
the inner part of the shaft the weight
descended and caught the unfortunate
mans head between the weight and the
sill of the window, inficting a serious
scalp wound and breaking all the bones i'm
the front part Of his face Fortunately
the weight was moving very slowly or in
all probability Schellhorn would have been
instantly killed. He was speedily removed
to the Emergency Hospital, where his in
jures were dressed.
