GARDNER IND A'CLELLAND
Signed Articles for a Contest Before
the Metropolitan Club.

Several Clubs Put in Bids for the
Match-Men Are to Weigh l22
Pounds Wheeling Won a Game
from GAINESVILLE Yesterday-Re-
suits in the National and Inter-
state Leagues Other Sporting
Matters.
Oscar Gardener, the Omaha Kid,
aud Jack McClelland, OF Pittsburg,
signed articles yesterday afternoon for
: contest Of twenty rounds or more,
before the Metropolitan Athletic Club.
June GOTH The men agree to weigh in
DIT three O'Clock in the afternoon, at
a22 pounds.
Those who predicted that McClelland
would not sign articles after witness
ing Gardner's contests with Began
and Marshall, were doomed to disap-
pointment Hugh McCurdy, McClel-
lands hacker, was at Bader & Maurer's
saloon at the time agreed upon, accom-
panied by McClelland and two or three
friends. Manager Leslie Pearce repre-
scented the Metropolitan Club, and
Manager John Murphy the Bridgeport
Club. Oscar Gardner was accompan-
led by Mr. Arthur and his brother
Eddie. Jerry Marshall was present,
and the Carnegie Athletic Club and one
other club, were represented.
The men got down to business at
once, and signed articles Of agreement
fixing the Both inst, as the date, and
agreeing to weigh in at three o'clock
in the afternoon at 122 pounds.
The principals then received offers
from the four clubs which were repre-
scented, and both agreed to accept the
offer of the Metropolitan Club. The
exact amount was not made public, but
the club increased its offer of 800 made
some time ago Both principals de-
posted forfeit money, and it is under
stood that there is a large side bet be-
tween their managers.
That this will be one OF the best con-
tests ever witnessed here, goes without
saying. Oscar Gardner will be the
favorite, Of course, but his friends
should not fall into the error of under
estimating the ability Of his opponent
Another event, which will be hardly
less interesting, will be the contest be-
tween Charlie Burns and Charlie John
son on the night of the 23rd inst
Burns has commenced active training
and has established his headquarters
at Morgan Bros. saloon, on Sixteenth
street near Wood. Last night he
stated that he was already within four
pounds of his boxing weight

A VERY CLEVER EXHIBITION
Given Again by Prof. Berry Last
Night.


Prof. Berry gave another very in
teresting and instructive exhibition of
horse education last night at his tent
on the Reymann lot, at the corner of
Sixteenth and Main streets. For the
first subject, Mr.. Berry brought on
the horse he had broken the night
before last. The horse is seven years
old, and belongs to Mr.. Kelly. 1t had
never had even a halter on until Mr..
Berry brought him in from the coun-
try. 1t was driven in a buggy and
put through all sorts Of tests last
night. Mr.. Berry then subdued an
other horse in a very remarkable
short time, of kicking and shying.
His next subject was horse belong
ing to DR.. ]. o. Howell of Bridgeport.
This horse took rather long to subdue.
The last subject was subdued in about
ten minutes. Tomorrow night or pos
sibly Thursday will be Prof. Beery's
last in town He will have on the
programme, aside from several lily
tempered horses, an especially bad
kicker owned by Mr.. Sneider, of the
South Side. The trained horse will
also be in the ring for the express
benefit of the ladies present. All
horse owners who have not yet seen
any Of Prof Beerys exhibitions should
do so if possible, as aside from being
instructive, they are very interest
ing.

Mineral Springs in the Vicinity.
Other Notes


About year ago a mineral spring
was discovered on the w. w. Woods
property, on the Cadiz pike, near st.
CIairsville. The water when analysed,
was found to contain the same prop
critics as the grey mineral springs at
Cambridgeboro. Since that time
great many people in the vicinity
have used the water for various
stomach troubles with very successful
results. 1t was stated yesterday that
the springs would flow anywhere from
fifteen hundred to two thousand gal
Ions daily. A project has been work
ed up among several business men of
this place for the purpose of forming
a syndicate to take hold Of the affair.
A meeting was held Monday evening
and another will be he'd this evening
at the Woods property. 1t is hoped
that something will come from this,
for should company take hold and
make the naediul improvements, it
will be of great benefit to the coun-
try in the vicinity.

from death. He had just finished wir-

ond story, when it turned with him,
a-ecipitating him headlong to the
cellar. He was stunned by the fall,

FONORS ARE EVEN.
Wheeling Took the Second Game Yes
terday from GAINESVILLE.


Wheeling turned the tables on Zanes-
vile yesterday. The home club played
very loose fielding game Monday but
yesterday the visitors had an off day,
and piled up ten errors behind Tread
well. The big pitcher for GAINESVILLE
stands feet inches high, but he is
an easy problem for batters. He would
have been more effective, perhaps, but
for his yellow support
Wheeling took the lead in the first
inning, and were never in danger of
losing the game. Madden did fine
work in the box, and was hit hard in
but one inning, the sixth, when Zanes-
vile pounded out four runs. Nc
Combs was unaccustomed to his posi-
ton at short, and made two errors
Buchanan played a splendid game at
third, and made a very favorable i'm
preston upon the crowd. His field
ing is clean, and his throwing is quick
and accurate. AT the bat, he managed
to connect with the ball each time but
was unfortunate in putting it in the
hands of fielders. The management
should give him fair trial, as the
verdict of yesterdays crowd was that
he is a conner"
1t was a featureless game, and inter
est in the result was destroyed by the
loose fielding of the visitors, with the
exception of "Parson" Nicholson, who
did exceptionally good work at the
Secnnd bag The score.

THE FIREWORKS.
A Very Large Crowd Disappointed b!
an Inferior Exhibition Last Night or
the Island

The alleged PAINS fireworks, at the
Island ball park last night, created an
impression suggestive Of the name OF
which the exhibition was advertised.
Pains fireworks have reputation, and
this was sufficient to secure a large
crowd. A very badly disappointed au-
dience of between twenty-five hundred
and three thousand people witnessed
the performance, which was Of the
most mediocre character. Meister' S
band played national airs and was the
principal feature of the entertainment.
The display consisted of large num-
Der of sky-rockets, interspersed by an
occasional bomb, and few set pieces.
Among the latter was picture OF
Admiral Dewey, the sinking of the
Maine and the motto Remember the
Maine" The much advertised battle
of Manila was set piece, representing
a few warships, one of which moved
on a section of the frame. The dis
NAV was very much inferior TO the
Last DAYS of Pompeii, shown here a
couple of years ago, and did not merit
the large patronage it received.
