The Negro Soldier.
(BOstOn JOuTnal.)


We used to think the negro didn't
count for very much
Light fingered in the melon patch, and
chicken yard, and such;
Much mixed in point of morals and alb
surd in point of dress,
The butt of droH caTtOonists and the
target of the press;
But we've got to reconstruct our views
on color, more or less,
Now we know about the Tenth
at La Quasinal
When a rain of shot was falling, with
a song upon his lips,
In the horror where such gallant lives
went out in deaths eclipse,
Face TO face with Spanish bullets, on
the slope of San Juan,
The negro soldier showed himself an
other type of man;
Read the story Of his courage, cOIdIy,
careIessly, who can
The story Of the Tenth at La
Quasina.
We have heaped the Cuban soil above
their bodies, black and white
The strangely sorted comrades of that
grand and glorious fight
And many a fair-skinned volunteer
goes whole and sound today
For the succOr of the cOlOred troops,
the battle records say,
And the feud is done forever, Of the
blue coat and the gray
All honor to the Tenth at La
Quasina!

BOSTON, May 9.-Bob Fitzsimmons has announced his acceptance of the offer of Kid Mccoy to pay the cham p.on S10000 for a fight at middle N eight, and also his acceptance of the offer of James J. Corbett of $25.OO0 for aa opportunity to regain the heavy \. eight championship.
 Fitzsimmons will meet either man before the regularly organized club offering the largest purse, but he will insist on a side bet of $10,000 in each Case, and both matches must take pace before the last of September, this year.
 This announcement is accompanied v.lh the offer of Julian, Fitzsimmons' n-alager, and the priZe-fighter hlm- Sclf, to bet S2500 that neither Mccoy nor Corbett will make good his offer.
 DENVER, May 9.-After reading the Associated Press dispatch from Bos- ton this afternoon announcing that Bob itzsimmons had accepted his offer of $25 GOO for an opportunity to regain the heavy weight championship, James J. Corbett sent the following dispatch to W. A. Brady, his manager, who is in New York City:
 Go after that man Ir'itzsimmons) and make my offer to him again-S25, 900 that l will stop him in ten rounds-and put up some money. Show him up.
 ''FitZsimmons says he will accept my offer of S25, 900 for a chance to fight him." said Corbett. That's not my offer at all. I say I will bet $25 900 I can stop him in ten rounds, and I can do it. That shows what a coward he do it. He is just trying to get out of it. That shows what a coward he is. If Fitzsimmons will put up some money I will be in New York inside of two weeks to make the match I'll go, anyway. As soon as I leave here-it is Sunday-I will go right on to New York and hunt him up. I'll tell him what he is to his face

President Bert called a meeting of the officers and managers of the Pacific Coast Baseball League last evening" with the intention of putting the finishing touches to the matters left unsettled at the last meeting. Representatives Of the various teams responded to the summons and after some little delay a committee consisting of MT. Ewing, MT. Kaplan, MT. Hennesy and MT. Donohoo was appointed by President Bert to act in conjunction with MT. Spapleton in perfecting a sched- ule, to be presented at the next meeting, which is to be held week from tonight. The games for next Saturday and Sunday will be played as follows: On Saturday May IA, Oakland plays Santa Cruz at Recreation Park. On Sunday, May 15, Santa Cruz will play the Athletics at Recreation Park; at Sacramento, San Francisco vs. Sacramento; at Fresno Stockton vs. Fresno; at San Jose, Oak land vs. San Jose.
 It was decided that no ball-player not in this State before September 15 can be signed by any manager in the league This was done so that Eastern ball-play- CTS returning home could not be made play. It was further decided that no player could leave one team and play with another without the mutual consent of both managers.

evening" Neither rider was seen in the saddle here much the past season.
 The big chestnut horse Rubicon was sold at sheriff's sale yesterday at Ingieside track. He was knocked down to the bid of Billy Short for $500 The latter was undoubtedly acting for an outside party.
 The Lassen stable folks, owners of Sly, from current gossip narrowly escaped getting a boost after the mare won the fifth race. It was said that Bookmaker Billy Beverly sent one of his employees out to the stand to bid her up to 5000 The commissioner arrived just as she was knocked down to her owners. Her last two races previous to yesterday were not very pretty ones to look at.
 George Bayless, trainer of FIandes, thought the chestnut horse had great chance to win. and bet to the extent of his bank roll, getting SO 10 | The horses owner placed his money on for place, and after the presented George with the purse.

 T have known negotiations in this direction were pending for some time. So far I have received no word rom Stuart, but I am expecting message at any time. The fight between Fltz- simmons and Mccoy l know little about It may be that the men will meet for a limited number of rounds before the big fight in Carson. l hard ly think it possible FitZsimmons would meet Mccoy before Corbett There is a possibility of defeat, which would bar him from meeting Pompadour Jim. The date mentioned in the bos ton dispatch I cannot vouch for. l believe the fight will occur about sep tember 26, or after the California Nevada State fair.

As Fftzsimmons has announced that he will fight again, it remains to be seen whether he will take on the man he has all along claimed to be so easy. He is positively assured of $25,- 900 in case he stands ten rounds in front of Corbett and $45 900 in case he wins. This is the offer Corbett made to F'itZsim- mons last February, and he now stands by it. and I will accept Julian's bet of S250O that Corbett will be on hand on the day named. I will be in New York on Wednesday and will meet Fftzsimmons or his manager to deposit money to make the match. w. A. BRADY.
