DUBUQUE's CARNIVAL.
The Fistic Tournament Promises to-
Draw Good Crowds.

DUBUQUE, To-, Aug. 19.-The Dubuque
Athletic association, mindful of the haZ-
ard of the game when it began to make
its matches for the big fstic carnival of
Aug. 20, so and 81, figured that there
might be disappointments, and, accord
ingly, made provisions for just such an
emergency as has developed in the back
ing down of Geor ~e Byers and within a
day or two will announce a fit match to
take its place.
The victory Of Tommy White over Billy
O'Donnell of Memphis, was quite a
feather in the cap of the Western cham
pion, for it was this selfsame O'Donnell
who knocked out the apparently invinci-
BILE Oscar Gardner,-in- eighteen rounds
This fight of Whites did much to stay
the impression that has been gaining cur
rency that Tommy had gone back, for
the description of the battle at Sioux City
has it that White won all along on O'DOn-
nell and scored without an effort. This,
of course, will buoy up the hopes of the
White people, who, fearful of the on-com-
ing of Santry by reason Of his terrific bat
tie against Dixon, thought he might prove
too much for the veteran White.
In telegram received from Tommy,
Manager Houseman recipient Friday.
morning, the boxer states: Escaped
without a scratch and never worked my
self into a perspiration. My hands and
condition will be equal to Mr.. Santry on
the night of Aug. 80. Tommy White"
The association held a meeting to-
night to determine a course to pursue re-
ative to its offer of a $4,000 purse for Nc
Coy against the winner Of the Tommy
Ryan-Jack Moffatt fight, to be brought
off here on the last night of the carnival
beginning Aug. 90. H. A. Perry, secre-
tary of the club, had offered the purse
and this offering was confirmed by Lou
Houseman on his return today. The lat
ter had not heard of the defeat of Nc
Coy, and at the meeting of the directory
held this afternoon the offer was with
drawn, pending the result of the Ryan
Moffatt match. Ryan is disposed to for
ever after ignore Mccoy, but the club
holds that if Moffatt wins the latter may
think more kindly of the match The
club has offered a purse for the con-
queror of Mccoy and Australian Jimmy
Ryan. Ryan has accepted, and it is
thought Mccormick will assent as soon
as the clubs Philadelphia representative
can reach him. This match, if made.
will take the place Of the Root-Byers
match declared off on account OIL the
beating administered By7srs by Aus
tra1an Jimmy Ryan, week ago tonight
at Brooklyn.
tuesday Sol Green, the stakeless ring
expert, will put up the roped arena in
which the battles will be contested. An
plications for reserved seats are pouring
in on the club from all over the country,
and indications are that the CAPACITY Of
the building will be taxed to its utmost
An idea of the manner in which the Du
ouque Athletic association is doing busf
ness may be gained when the statement
is made that upwards of q, 900 sheets Of
paper have been plastered up over the
middle West, and that their postage bills
for the next six days will average $15O per
day. No'

RACES THAT DRAGGED.
Concluding Events at Charles River
Park Not High-CIass.

BOSTON, Aug. .19.-The concluding races
of the meet at Charles River Park were
only fair in quality, and they dragged
so badly that the last events were run
in the darkness. In the opening events
the finishes were generally good, but in
the handicap races the scratch men, as a
rule, fell by the wayside. The mile ma
ticnal championship professional and the
mile championship amateur were the big
numbers, but the former was slow and
the latter narrowly escaped being a farce
in the finals. Tom Butler won in the
mile professional, with Maj. Taylor sec
ond, both showing wonderful ability just
at the time when the race looked lost
to them. Jimmy Moran, of Chelsea, took
the amateur honors, beating out Pea
body, Of Chicago, by few inches. Sum
