weeks; he was at Corbetts as many times in

any more fights for him for just reason
and that's very good one. You couldn't
get him into prize fight again with any
one any where near his own size and weight.
But you see, he's got his show, and they'll
be in Chicago shortly, and he wants to warm
1t up, and get the dough when the troupe

DOGS OF FOUR STATES.
Their Owners Form the Northwest
ern Kennel Club.


The Northwestern Kennel Club and Field
Trial association was organized last night
at the Windsor hotel, when score or two
of St Paul gentlemen interested in the rails
ing of well-bred dogs met together and dis
cussed the possibility of holding bench
sho win this city in the near future.
VIM. Ely Bramhall presided, while c. q. n
Howard acted as secretary. A majority of the
st. Paulites who go in for keeping blooded
CANNES were either present or represented
and the gathering, which was most enthusl,
astic. promises to result in most successful
meets. After all the conditions had been
exhaustive discussed it was settled that a
permanent organization should be formed tc
Include the four states-Minnesota. Iowa and
the two Dakotas-and the following officers
were named President, II. P. Gcodnow;
vice president, VIM. E. Bramhall; secretary
C. E. n. Howard; treasurer, John E. Sea

w Mathews, Frank Hannochie and John
Pfster were named bench committee, whose
duty it shall be to arrange for and manage
the coming show. AS stated, the show will
be held soon. the exact dates being dependent
upon the dates decided upon for the shows
in the big Eastern circuit.
1t was decided at this time that the new
association will hang up the sum of $1,5OO
in purses and premiums, which was consid-
cred quite credtable for ST. Paul, inaSmuch
as Boston hung up at its last meeting SlfVO.
OF the sum determined upon, $4G0 was sub
scribed last night. The St. Paul dog fanciers
expect that the purses will attract the favor
exhibitors as it is we'll known in the East
that the Western men have dogs which, ex-
cept in the transporting classes, are quite
the equal of the crack breeds in the country.
The bench show will be held in Cambridge
hall on Seventh street. Secretary E. d.
Brown. of the MINNEAPOLIS Bench club, was
present last night and loaned the members
of the new organization the benefit OF his
experience. Messrs. s. B. Shotwell, DR.:
Gould and John E. Stryker were appointed
to confer with the members OF the Mime

a supersedeas and staying all proceedings.
The order was issued by Chief Justice Phil
lips. who Is at Hot Springs, Ark. after he
had consented to sit in special session to en-
terrain an application for a writ of error
and supersedeas, requested by a repre-
sentative OF the city law department.
Chief Justice Phillips action nullifles the
recent decision OF the Illinois supreme court
until a hearing the question of the con-
stitutionalty Of the civil service act has been

1t puts the civil service law in the same

CONEY ISLAND CLUB.
1t Is to BE Reopened by Sullivan
and OR NlrlSe.

The Coney Island Athletic club has been
leased to Timothy D. Sullivan and Tom
O'Rourke for $1,000 a year.
The building was originally a seashore
casino, but was transformed into a boxing
club house and called the Coney Island Ath-
letic club. Later on the name was changed
to the Seaside Athletic club, but the title
will again become the Coney Island Ath-
letic club. Some notable contests have taken
place in the ring OF that club.
Sullivan and O'Rourke expect to make the
club the chief boxing organization in Amer
lea.
O'Rourke has already offered large purses
for important bouts.
1t is probable the opening fight at the club
will be between Dixon and Solly Smith.
Meanwhile the managers of the other box
ing clubs in this vicinity are wondering il
there is also truth in the report that box
ing will be confined solely to the Coney Island
club. Manager Newman, of the Polo Ath-
letic club is waiting for Chief McCullagh to
pass upon the question OF license for his
club.

you and FitZ have, and I am going to
protect it. All you are entitled to Is
an even break, and that is all you will
get from me, and that is all Fitz will
get. I've refereed this fight in bed
night after night, and do not believe
any angel can come up that won't be
prepared for. The fight must and will
be a clean one If I can make 1t So
''This ended the conversation on that
point.
GOVERNOR OFFERS AID.
Gov. Sadler sent for me the next
day and told me he had heard there
was to be trouble at the ringside and
asked me whether it would be advis-
able to station the militia at the en-
trance Of the arena to disarm every
body that entered. 1 told him I did
not think that was necessary and that
If anything went wrong in the ring L
would be held responsible and would
therefore be the first man to be killed.
Also that l was prepared for all emer-
gencies and that 1 would be cool
enough not to make any mistake ana
that If L did it did not matter much
whether L was killed inside or outside
Of the arena.
''Will anybody, after reading these
facts, think that Corbett is hurting
my feelings any by saying he will not
have me referee a fight for him again l?
Does he think I am hankering after
it? Can he or any other living man
show where I ever solicited the posi-
ton Of referee? 1 believe both COrbett
and Fitzsimmons will admit that when
they named me to referee their last
battle it was wholly unsolicited on my
part.
And 1 believe they will also admit
they never notified me of their selec-
ton. The first notification / had that
| was to Officiate as referee was
through the press. l will also state
that 1 never notified either Corbett or
FitZsimmons or anybody connected
with the fight that l would accept. OF
course, | never informed them that l
would not, but in all courtesy they
should have notified me by letter or
telegram.
Il will say that 1 never intended to
go into print on certain things I have
stated. but Corbett has been trying to
lead the public to think or believe that
/ gave him the worst of it at Carson
City. The fight was an important one,
and L was determined, if possible, to
make it one of the cleanest, if not the
cleanest, that ever took place in this
country. How we'll / succeeded I will
leave to the press and fair-minded
spectators who witnessed the contest,
among whom are friends and hackers
of Corbett, to judge, and also whether
Corbett was not defeated fairly ana
squarely and whether l did other than
what was right"

NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-George Siler
was shown dispatch in which Corbett
said 'he should referee no more of his
fights because of his unfairness." Siler
said in reply:
How does Corbett know he can get
me to referee? 1t is time enough to
talk about referee when he is match
ed. He lies when he says I held him
in the sixth round. According to the
rules the fighters were to step back ten
feet in case Of a knOckdown. Had
Corbett done so there would have been
nc necessity of my touching him.
Furthermore. he lies when he says
held him. All L did was to push him
back to prevent him standing over
F'itz. L will also say that he had a
private timer besides i'm Colville, of
Boston, and if Fitz was down more
than eight seconds then his timekeep-
ers and the official timekeeper, Billy
MuldOon, must have been badly ratified.
I will also say that the press and the
1000 or more spectators that witnessed
the fight all say that it was the clean
est and fairest fight that ever took
place in the country. And Corbett and
Brady have time and again said they
lost fairly and squarely. Even Jim's
brother Harry came to me Immediately
after / left the ring and said: We'll,
George, we lost, but we've got no kick
coming as we lost fairly and squarely.
L lost about $4,000 and must say you
handled the fight better than anything
