Of the members of the Manhattan club,

his antagonist is to be he has expressed
his willingness to meet any man in this
part of the state, provided the weights
are satisfactory. Some Of his friends
fear that a ringer will be sprung on the
colored boy, the purpose being to finish
him. Thompson says that il he is
knocked out he will take his medicine.

Peter Jackson and Jim Jeffries will
meet Tuesday, March %, in Woodward's s
pavilion, San Francisco. The men have
agreed that there shall be no hitting in
the clinches, but that each man must
protect himself in the breakaway. Prob
ably there will be no hitting in the
breakaways, as both men will be on
their guard. A quick, clever man can
get in good blow, however. The board
of directors of the club will have say
in the selection of the referee. Peter
jackson is hard at work at CrolPs, in
Alameda, and Jeffries is still at the Re-
lance club, Ookland.

Trotting Mems Congress

| The biennial congress of the National
Trotting association will meet tomorrow
at the Murray Hill hotel, New York, and
the majority of the affiliated $50 organ
izations will be represented personally
or by proxy. 1t is the senior legislative
body of the trotting world, and any al
terations to the rules or any new rules
must stand for two years; hence the
action of the members is generally on
the conservative side. The committee
on rules will begin it's session this morn
ing, and President Johnson will preside
and Ed A. Upton will be the secretary.
The congress promises to have lively
session, as several important subjects
will certainly come up for discussion.
There will be hot fight to reduce the
distance, and those two great organiza-
tions, the New England Trotting Horse
Breeders and the Kentucky Trotting
Horse Breeders association, are strong
ly in favor Of radical reform in this di-
rection, but the success of the movement
is doubtful.
The question of licensing drivers, and
registration of horses will probably pro-
duce lively debates. The license system

The question of official judges is the

Racing Changes Coming
The all-winter racing at San Francisco
Is having it's last innings as six
months sport, and those who have
money invested at Oakland and Ingle-
side as shareholders will do we'll to sell
out before January, 1899, for there will
surely be a bill passed by the next legis-
lature to cut off racing at any and all
tracks for longer period than thirty
days. The merchants of San Francisco.
exasperated by thousands of defalca-
tions in the past five years, will men,
orialize the legislature, almost without
dissent, to pass such a bill. 1t was in
anticipation of such action by the legs-
lature of 1867 that the California
Jockey club leased Agricultural park.
There will be just as much racing in the
state as ever after such bill becomes
law, but it will be scattered out every
where and broadcast. There will be four
weeks at Sacramento in October, two
at Stockton and two at Fresno in Mo-
vember month here in December; two
weeks at San Jose and two at Napa in
January; two at Petaluma and two
more at San Jose in February; and four
weeks each at Oakland and Ingleside in
March and April, and that will wind up
the game for the season. By that time
the eastern contingent will be prepared
to recross the continent and the sport
will have closed for the season, so far as
California Is concerned. The game is
rapidly growing thin and there are al
ready more hawks than chickens.

The delegates to the assembly were
apparently divided into factions repre-
senting the east and the west, as they
have been for some years past. The pet
measures of the western men have again
been defeated, and the meeting has un-
doubtedly resulted in strained relations
between New York and other divisions.
From appearances this must ultimately
result in western association, as each
succeeding year the breach between the
two sections is widened.
After the action of the national as
sembly in refusing admittance as MEM
bers to the professionals it was gener-
ally conceded that the local option
amendment was doomed. The advo-
Gates of this measure were very much
encouraged when the action OF the rae
ing board in reinstating the California
amateurs who had competed on Sunday
was sustained by the assembly, as this
was thought to indicate that the senti-
ment of the convention was in favor of
the Sunday question. The assembly
has always shown itself to be a most
unreliable body, and this year has been

were left out in thu, cold, and the Potter

The west will soon wake up to the fact
that it cuts very little figure in the
league when it comes to such important
matters, and then there will be split

delegations of New York, Pennsylvania
and New Jersey.
The league is undoubtedly the great

athletic organizations in that it is in the

Tom Linton, the bicyclist, brought to
this country to beat Michael, has held
the worlds record for the hour at four
different times, his last being 81 miles,
5S2 yards. This was beaten by Stocks
last summer. Last year he rode in thlr-
ty-two races, of which he lost only four.
He is credited with having amassed a
small fortune by his speed. His brother
Arthur, also q race man, left him more
than $4,000 at his death, and this sum
"Tom" Linton Is said to have doubled.
He is q coal miner by trade. Linton will
meet all corners In middle distances in
this country. He will do his preliminary
training on the road, probably in Geor-
gia, and will come north when the
weather moderates. He will ride Amer
lean wheels and tires, and his gear will
be from 98 to 1OS. Sixteen French pace
makers for Linton will come over in

Generally speaking, tires are being
made heavier for 1898 and the demand
Is running on the larger sizes, such as
TX inches. A rubber importer and man

a Lecturer Discovers His Danger 0nd Loses
His Life.

1t is scene in the lecture-room of a
medical college in New Orleans. The
professor is lecturing before an intelli-
gent class of medical students. He is
describing the human body, its defects
and the danger by which it is surround
ed. In order to illustrate it he has
fluids from the human body, which he
is subjecting to chemical tests.
Gentlemen" he said, Il have de-
scribed to you the appearance of the
human fluid in diseased state; l will
now show you how the same fluid ap-
pears in healthy state and he sub
jected his own to the test. AS he held
it up to the light for moment, his
hand trembled, he caught his breath,
he paled and exclaimed: Gentlemen,

covery; l myself have Bright's disease

In less than one year he was dead.

Benwood had an exciting shooting
ARRAY about nine o'clock last night in
which a member of the Benwood police
force figured prominently. AS a re-
suit the officer will be discharged from
the force. The reports concerning the
affair at first were somewhat conflict
ing, but Marshal George Furbee was
very indignant about the action of his
subordinate and did not spare him in
putting the blame on the officers
shoulders. According to Marshal Fur
bees story, Jacob Slippner, who was
detailed to attend a big dance of for
eigners at Dolan's hall, got to drinking
heavily during the evening until he
became intoxicated and unfit to per-
form the duties of guardian of the
peace.
Slippner, he says, chased some boys
away from the hall where the dance
was in progress and fired shot after
them. Then Slippner chased the boys
down street about block and ran into
VIM. Bogard, who is also alleged to
have been intoxicated. Slippner i'm
mediately transferred his attentions to
Bogard and is said to have assaulted
the latter. The two men clinched and
during the melee Slippner's pistol was
discharged twice. Slippner pummelled
Bogard on the head with the butt end
of the revolver until the men were
separated and the revolver was taken
from Slippner. Marshal Furbee said
Bogard had three cuts on his head
which he thought had been produced
by the hammer Of Slippner's revolver.
He did not think that any of the shots
had struck BOgard.
The Marshal last night declared that
he would put Slippner off the force in
the morning. Slippner was taken TO
his home soon after the shooting. Be-
gard was taken to a physician and
given medical attention. Marshal Fur
bee also said that he would probably
suspend another member Of the force,
who instead of attending to his duties
had gotten intoxicated and was on the
floor with the rest of the dancers at the
foreigners hop. The matter has STIR
red up a considerable commotion in
Benwood and last night occasioned a
great deal of excitement.
