STOCKTON, CAL, Feb. 15.-That q
bench show will be held in Stockton next
April is now certain. At the request of
the kennel club John Doak recently wrote
to c. II. Mason, asking whether he would
be content to take $400 for judging the
dogs, instead OF the $45) which the club
had promised to pay him. The letter ex-
planned that the club was considering the
engaging of J. OTIS Fellows as Judge
a'so in connection with Mr.. Mason, but
that 1t did not feel like incurring the extra
exnense unless the S450 could be cut to
$4O0. To-day Mr. Mason teIegraphed the
following from New York:
Contract stands. No objection to Fellows
judging some classes, and Ii necessary will
subscribe $50 to club
It had been intended to abandon the
idea of holding the bench show if Mason
refused to accede 10 the request, but now
that he has accepted all is settled. Eel
lows, who had originally demanded SIPS,
has cut his price to $100, so the amount
paid both judges will be $500, or only $50
moro than Mason was promised.

WICHITA, KANs, Feb. 15.-Paddy Shea,
well known throughout the central West
as an all around sporting man, who con-
ducts an academy of scientific boxing in
this city, is recognized wherever known as
an authority on sporting topics. His pre-
diction that Corbett will win the COMM g
fight is notable from the fact that he has
foretold with almost unvarying exsctness
tho results of all the great fights of recent
years. In an interview to-day he said:
Accidents barred l predict that Cor
bett will win the fight inside OF twenty
rounds. All these stories about his hav-
ing degenerated are told TO induce some
one to run up against him. Corbett and
Fitzsimmons are without doubt the great
est fighters in the world. Corbett Is in
his prime. He will probably go into the
ring 1t $50 to 1S4 pounds. He is strong
and unquestionably the fastest heavy
weight in the world. There are no feather
weights quicker than Corbett. 1 am sat
isfied that Cor bett is now in splendid con-
diiion, and that he will go into the fight
better man than when he stood up
against Sullivan.
"Of course Fitzsimmons is wonderful
man, and he has way of guarding his
neck and jaws with those high shoulders
of his that will demand the best general
ship of which Corbett is capable. Corbett
will have to get in straight lfcks to reach
FilZ, and if he should ever be caught off
his guard and Fitz gets in one OF his
swings it will be good-by, Mr.. Corbett.
Fitz is a great fighter, 1 concede, but 1
consider Corbett the best general and the
fastest heavy weight in the world, and
shall be surprised if he does not win this
fight at some round between the fifteenth
and the twentieth. Billy Brady under
stands it in that way, and that is the rea-
son he offers to bet $1,000 that Fitz will
not appear in the ring on the 17ih day of
March. My prediction is that. barring &C
cidents, Corbett will win this fight"

SHE FLEW HER
CHAMPION FLAG
The Helene Is Now Regu-
larly Installed as a
Trader.
Has the Honor of Carrying the
Largest Flag in the
World.
A Bulldog Who Kept a Memento of
Burglars Who Were
Fooled.

The Hawaiian steamer Helene was the
observed of ali observers on the wafer
front yesterday. She was loading at Pa
ciic-street wharf, and the largest flag in
tn e world fioated from her aftermast. 1t
when hoisted on the mast there is barely
room for it to clear the taffrail. In fact 1t
is 40 feet deep and so feet long, and if
stretched in the meeting-room OF the
Merchants Exchange would take up the
full length and height of the room.
When leaving Honolulu to take COM
mand of the Helene, Captain George C.
Beckley was presented with an illumi-
mated address and a purse. The address
he was more than pleased to receive, but
the money he said would 60 in purchas-
ing the finest flag in the world for the
pride of the Hawaiian mere antile marine.
The flag was seen yesterday floating from
the hand some steamer that takes her
name from the w;nsome daughter OF w.
G. Irwin OF Honolulu.
Captain George c. Beckley is the COM
modore of the Wilder steamship line, and
is one of the most popular men in the
Hawaiian Islands. His chief officer is
Captain Fitzgerald, second officer II. A
Frlis and third officer II. D. Beveredge.
The chief engineer is w. A. johnson,
first assistant Charles Duham and second
assistant Herman Kallstrom. All the
officers are in uniform. and the vessel
looks more like an ocean liner than an
nterisand trader. She will take away an
unusually heavy cargo, among which will
be steel rails, machinery and mules for
the plantations on the island of Hawaii.
Osmer d Co., WHO keep a saloon and
restaurant on the corner OF Folsom and
East streets, discovered the REM aims of a
tragedy when they opened up for business
yesterday morning. The side entrance
had been pried open and the marks of the
jimmy were plainly to be seen in the
wood dwork. On the floor, playing with
the remains o! a pair of pantaioons, was
he bulldog that generally is kept chained
behind the counter by day and is allowed
TO rove at Will through the place at night.
Not even glass was disturbed and the
supposition is that as soon as the intruder
got fairly into the restaurant the dog
jumped on him and held on until the
company. The owner can have the re-
mains of the trousers by calling on Osmer
& Co any time before 6 p. NJ. to-day. Up
10 that hour the dog Will be chained up.

A True Story for the Children.

A True Story for the Children.
A tiny 3-year-old girl climbed up into
her chair at the breakfast table, and after
having napkin pinned about her neck
surveyed the morning repast critically
and finally said, in a quiet, sturdy way,
II wants Potunseal." What is it daugh-
ter wants?" "Po'tunseai, Po'tunseaI"
(said with emphasis).
After many conjectures, and recalling
the fact that she had been served with q
little cup of Postum Cereal the previous
morning, II was decided that this was
what the little cub wanted, and, when it
was placed beside her with little cream
and sugar in it, the charming. coy, plea sed
smile OF thanks that dimpled the plump D
cheeks and chin, and looked out of the
violet eyes, would have been thanks
enough to king for the gift of an empire.

From the present appearance of things il

but will go direct to his training quarters
in Carson, where he will remain until
after his tistic interview with Fitzsim-
mons.
There was quite a large crowd of Cor.
belts friends and admirers congreeated
at the depot at the foot of Market street
last evening to see him off on the o'clock
boat. They ali wished him a pleasant
journey and success, and he answered
each one of his well-wishers by saying
that he would return on the 18th of March
with red-headed scalp dangling at his
girt.
Corbett had as his travelling companions
c. F. Burns, Billy Langdon, Jim McVey
and his brothers, Harry and Joe. 1t was
thought that Billy Delaney, who is Cor
belts old trainer and adviser, would Jour
ney with the party, but after CorLett's
interview with Jeffries, which appeared
in THE CALI. new arrangements were
made which will detain Delaney until the
dav after the Jeffries and Stelzner's fight.
Jeffries will start with Delaney if he prove
successful. He will act as one of the
champions sparring partners.
Dan Stuart will meet Corbett in Reno
and after a short business chat the great
pugilistic promoter OF prize-hghts will
journey 20 this City to complete some
i'm portant business arrangements connect
ed with the gambling end OF the great
fighting carnival. Harry Corbett and G.
F. Burns are expected home on Friday
evening.

Stuart said yesterday that unless the fight
ing manager can secure two tirst.class
pugilists who will agree to 10 battIs to a
finish for q small purse, which must not
exceed $2500, there will not be a second
attraction.
Stuart figures that a second attraction
will not bring any more people to Carson
than the crowd that will be represented
on the 18th of March TO see the champion
ship battle, consequently ne is not very
anxious TO match any of the champions
unless they are willing to go in and scrap
for the honor and glory that may be at
tached TO win. Stuart may pull off a
live bird trap-shooting tournament, as
there Will not be much expense attached
to scheme of this kind, and gam bling on

ing to the financial end of the scheme,
and with this object in view he will be

Tame Fight With "kuidoon's Black
ThunderboH"

feated c. c. Smith, "Muldoon's Black
Thunderbolt," in six rounds, before the
Empire Athletic Club Of this city to- nigh
Maher had Smith ali but out in the
second round, but in the succeeding
rounds he was very slow and seemed to
tire easily. He showed anything but
ampionship form and made decidedly
unfavorable impression.
The house was we'll filled, q number of
PIttsburgers having come from the
Smoby City to witness the contest.
In Smiths corner were Charles Marks,
George Church and Al Dean. Maher' s
seconds were Buck Cornelius and Peter
Lowry of Pittsburg.
Peter appeared to be in fine fettle, his
flesh white and firm as marble, while
Smith looked like an ebony Apollo. Peter
was cool and confident and the Thunder
sive grins.
The men shook hands at 10 o'clock. The
fl hit by rounds follows:
Round 1-Msher put two light lefts on face
Smith landed his left on the chin and right
on the wind. Peter swung a hard left
right on the ear. In the clinch Maher truck
Smith twice. There were loud cries of foul"
and Smiths seconds rushed into the ring and
dragged their man 10 his corner.
Round 2-Msher jtbbed his lett on the face
twice and followed with hard right on the
car. Smith reached Peters lace with
O good left. Peter sent his left TO
the wind and Smith came back with two In
the same place. Maher swung his left on
the ear, kn ocking the colored man fiat on his
face Smith got up slowly and Peter rained
blows on the he I'd and wind as Smith leaned
over the ropes without attempting TO defend
himself. Smith clinched as the bell rang.
Round 3-Maher jaobed his lett on the face
aud smith put a light left on the wind rush
ing Peter 10 the ropes. Smith rushed again
and Peter got away. Smith jabbed his left in
wind. Maher jabbed his left on the mouth
and they clinched.
The fourth and fifth rounds were tame, both
men appearing to be very tired
Round and last-The men were slow to
get together and there were loud Kisses
from the audience. Peter jsbbed Smith lightly
on the face with the left, and the latter
knocked Peters head back with left jolt on
the chin. Peter swung his left on the ear, and
Smith ducked a savage right swing. Peter
jabbed his left on the mouth, and left and
right on the head. The men were sparrlng
for wind as the bell rang.
Referee Doscher then declared Maher
the winner. Maher weighed 178 and
Smith $50 pounds.
The preliminary contests were between
Laden Campbell of Pittsburg and Sammy
Brown OF this city, who wcre to box ten
rounds al 128 pounds. Brown was
knocked out in the fourth round.
Neither man showed any skill.
The next pair were jim Plant of Pitts
burg ana Harry Gillmour of Baltimore,
who we're scheduled 10 go ten rounds.
Plant easily outclassed his opponent in
science and strength and knocked him
ont in the second round.

FIrzsIMMoss' STATEMENT.
Says He Is heady TO Gire Interviews to
All Hho Come

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Feb. Is.
Robert Fitzsimmons arrived in town
this morning and gave an exhibition of
sparring and bag punching at the Colise-
up1 to-night to a large audience.
The high altitude has not been without
its effect upon the Australians breathing
apparatus. Fitz spent the day in quiet
training. A short sprint or two this after
noon lett the Antlpodean decidedly short
of breath, while between gaps he said:
Il can't take long, deep breath up
here in the mountains"
The report that FitZsimmons and Cor
bett had signed an agreement with Hearst
of the New York Journal and San Fran
cisco Examiner. which has caused no
small anxiety to the large mum ber of
newspaper correspondents who will be
present at the Carson fight, was men
toned to Fitzsimmons tonight in the
presence of half-dozen reporters.
ais it true" asked THE CALL CORE
spondent of Fitzsimmons, That you and
Corbstt have signed articles, for cash
consideration, that neither of you will
give any Information or permit yourself
to be interviewed by any newspaper re-
porter except the authorized representa-
tive of the San Francisco Examiner and
the New York Journal?'
"As far as l am concerned" !" replied the
Australian, sit is true. 1 do not know
whether Corbett signed the contract or
not; but l suppose that he has. But
the agreement simply means that
will sign no interview or give out
any signed statements other than
TO the New York Journal and the
San Francisco Examiner. The agreement
in no way prevents any one from asking
me questions or from visiting my pros
pective training quarters or taking photo
graphs. No attempt to muzzle the press
was made. The boys will be free to come
and go as they please" and the Austria
han spoke as though he meant every
word he said.
Julian made the arrangement" con-
tinued Fitz, land signed the agreement.
If newspaper reporter is on to his Job he
can ind pretty nearly as much news as
he wants. The CALL has always treated
me we'll. 1t will get as much news as any
paper"
The exhibition at the Coliseum closed
at 10 o'clock and at 1O:45 the party left
over the Rio Grande for Lead vile and
Salt Lake, where Fitz will give his last
two tournaments before going into heavy
training.
