.F|TzS|MM0NS SAYS
 HE WILL WIN Has Beaten Men Bigger Than Jeffries-No Doubt About
 the Result.
From the New York World.

From the New York World
 Robert F1tzsimmons will not lose his fight with Jeffries on June for any lack of hard work or systematic training. The amount of work done by him between the hours of sunrise and sunset would pros trate an ordinary man without help from anothers fist, but the champions bones and muscles stand the strain day after day and are only the stronger for 1t.
 A World reporter visited him in his training quarters at Bath Beach yesterday and watched him go through the routine set by his trainer.
 The work begins soon after an early breakfast, when a start is made for Pros pect Park, five and one-half miles away. Fitz goes on foot, and big "Yank' Kenney on a bicycle tries to keep pace with him. Kenney tried running for a few days, but found 1t impossible to keep up, and adopted the wheel in order to be in at the finish In the distance of eleven miles there is not a halt. No walking or even jogging is done; but a steady run with long stride takes him to he park and back in almost record time After a rub down, short rest and lunch, work begins in the gymnasium, and 0 serious matter it is for Kenuey and Jack
 
 and thep the pulleys for the arms and legs. Bag punching occupies about fifteen min utes, after which rough and tumble fight with Kenney and Hickey alternately con- tinues until after 3 o'clock.
 In vacant lot just back of the gyn,- nasium the days work is finished up. The medicine ball is tossed back and forth for half an hour and occasionally one of the trainers is bowled over at a distance of ten feet. Atom, a black and white Shetland pony belonging to Robert, Jr., comes in for his share of attention, and his wrestling bouts with the champion are greeted with delight by the spectators, who stand three deep outside the lot.
 My condition for fight Is better now than ever before. T am just as good in strength and wind as I ever was, and my experience is greater said Fitz.
 ''At what weight will you enter the ring" asked the reporter.
 'I weighed 17O pounds when l began 10 train here l weigh 160 now and will enter the ring at 156 or 15S pounds"
 Isn't that rather light to go against q man weighing 21S pounds?" he was asked.
 NO! 1 have no apprehension whatever about the result. I feel as certain about 1t as if the fight were already over. Weight matters very little, and as put out men weighing 275 pounds, I will have no diff cuty putting one that weighs fifty-seven pounds less than that. Just what blow I will use to knock him out l don't know, as that will depend on the openings, but an opening will come, and when it does one punch with my weight behind it will settle matters"
 Do you live on regular training diet?''
 "No. I eat whatever I want, and a great deal of it. However, I don't want any thing that is rich, but use plain, whole some food altogether. If I feel that l want any delicacies take them, but plenty of meat and vegetables is what I have all

GREAT CROWDS
 ON SECOND NIGHT No Records Broken But Races
 Were Exciting. PED HICKMAN WON THREE All the Riders Went at a Snail's Pace Until the Final Spurt, and
 Then Showed Great
 Speed
PED HICKMAN WON THREE

The second night of the cycle meet was even more successful than. the first. Long before the hour of starting the first race crowds began pouring in the park, and by the time the riders were off in the first be procured. At least 1,7OO people witnessed the second nights racing. As all the stats in both grand stands were occupied, 1t was with difficulty the rest of the specta- tors were enabled to see the sport and the management kindly consented to let them come over in the center of the track. The time made last night was not of the record breaking variety exhibited on the previous occasion, but the excitement was intense. The riders were all well known by the audience and towards the close of every heat such cries as Ego on, Jack" hurry up, Joe," that's it, Ped, came from all parts of the grand stand.
 There were three races run, each consist ing of three heats and a final. The half mile, one mile and two mile open amateur were all won by Ped Hickman, who showed remarkable speed at the proper time and an abundance of the staying quality fin the long heats. Hickman, though apparently not more than 21 years of age has been on the track about seven years and has won 95 per cent. of the races in which he has contested.
 BIO in the Open Mile
 The best time made last night was 2:10 in the one mile. open. This was two min utes slower than Riddles record on Thurs day night. The riders all displayed good judgment and instead of riding for records would alternately pace each other until the
The age-herald., 1899-05-27

The riders started a little ahead of the pacing tandem, which caused some trouble for a little while The tandem forged ahead on the last half of the first lap, however, and the men strung out for the long run. Riddle was so unfortunate as to lose his pedal on the second lap, and had to retire from the race. Roberts got behind the tan- dem and led the boys for two miles, On the last half Strickland spurted ahead, and kept his lead until within one hundred yards of the finish when by tremendous effort Hickman fairly jumped ahead and won by @ half wheels length.

Spencer and Ed Spencer. Joe Spencer took the initiative, but had not gone around the second lap before Jack Cooper gave him a look at his back and somewhat livencd the paee The men kept in this position until the final lap, when Ed Spencer made one of his hot spurts passing Cooper and get ting place in the final. This heat was somewhat slower than the second, the time being 114 2-5.
 The next thing on the. programme was the trick riding of Richardson but as he was a little late in arriving it was an nounced that the Roberts brothers would run a quarter and attempt to break the southern record time. Just what tie rec ord was no one seemed to know, but the boys made a beautiful run and crossed the tape in 25 seconds.
 Admonishsd About Blocking
 The riders were then gotten ready for the first heat of the mile open. After the GUS tcmary questions it was found that Ped Hickman, Ed. Spencer, T. J. Strickland and M Hartman were ready. The riders were admonished by President Warren in regard to blocking, and at the pistol shot were off. The men alternately set Une pace and seemed to be letting every thing rest until the final spurt. In the seventh lap every one attempted to get ahead and some lively sprintng followed. By some rapid ped ding Hickman got a wheels length mar gin and kept it until the end of the race. The time was 2:2S 1-5. This was the fast est heat of the race, and Ed Spencer, who came in second, also got a chance to ride in the final.
 The second heat was run by Joe Riddle, Jack Cooper and Charless Mitzgar This was run al snail's pace, the boys evi- dently going to sleep. Some one in the crowd yelled to the men to wake up, re- marking that they "were as slow as mo- lasses in January" Joe Riddle won out, with Jack Cooper a close second; 2:45 was the time announced. Harry Roberts, Tom Perkins and Joe Spencer contested for place in the final in the third heat. The positions were any'bodys until the eighth lap, when Spencer and Roberts made a swift spurt for the lead. Spencer came in leading and Roberts passed Perkins by about eight inches
 At the close of this heat the final one half mile open was won. Mitzgar, Hlck- man, Spencer and Strickland had qualified and were started. The tandem team paced the riders and Hickman fell in close be- hind it. Before the riders had gone around the first lap Spencers wheel slipped and Mitzgar ran over him, both men falling to the ground. Though no serious injury was sustained, both were slightly bruised The race continued between Hickman and margin.
