BLACK PEARL AND Mr., THOMAS
GIVE A PUGILISTIC BURLESQUE
OF FOUR ACTS.
Claimed to be Prize Fighters, but
Their Work in that Line Was
Iaughable.

A pugilistic burlesque of four acts
was pulled off at Clark and Lange's
club rooms last evening. AS a comedy
it was a decided hit, but the feature
as a prize fight was the absence of any
hits. Two gentlemen of color were
scheduled to give q boxing match, but
instead did cake walk and their eff
forts in this direction highly pleased
the few people that saw them One
Of the principals ,aveIs under the
name of The b. Pearl" and he
was black all right e.-ough, but if the
pearl part of his name signifies that he
is a priceless jewel in the fstic arena
whoever christened him has another
guess coming. The other was intro
duced as Mr. Thomas. These men
approached Messrs. Clark and LANCE
informing them that they were fight
ers of no mean ability and wanted to
be matched against each other for a
purse They were given the use of the
club and matched themselves for the
receipts. The fight they put up was
worth the price Of admission and could
not be reproduced by very many men,
not from d scientific standpoint, but on
account OF the awkwardness displayed
by both men. There was some talk Of
fake when they began, but ere they
had proceeded far everyone was con-
WINGED that il would be impossible for
men who had ever seen pair of box
ing gloves before to tangle their feet
and hands in the manner in which
these two opponents OF the manly art
succeeded in doing. The Prince" was
the aggressOr and some of the wild
swings and upper cuts he let go might
have hurt Mr.. Thomas had any of them
landed.
The latter's work consisted chiefly Of
graceful bows, posing and parting his
hair with his gloved hands. The antics
kept the crowd in a continual uprOar
and the bout finally ended without
b'OOdshed, by one of the spectators
throwing water on Mr. Thomas while
he was sitting in his corner at the end
Of the fourth round Mr.. Thomas arose
clothed in all his dignity, stating that
no decent white gentleman would
throw water on a felloWman and with
these words pulled off his gloves and
left the ring. Referee Francis awarded
the fight to the Pearl"
Ed Mccoy, a heavy weight of Gunni-
son, Colo, was at the ring side and
announced his intention Of challeng-
ing Denver Ed Smith, who is now in
the city, TO meet him at some future
date at the clubs rooms.

out Of the unpledsantneSs without a
blenish on his character. The coward
" act of Tod Sloan in striking an IN
offensive waiter in the face with bot
tie of champagne is still fresh IN the
minds of the public, and this young
man. who has been petted by the royal
~, will now have time to reflect on the
fooIishness of getting the big head 50
early in life. When Sloan first re-
ceiyed an intimatiOn that the stewards
would decide against him he passed the
matter with a laugh, perhaps thinking
his dear old friend, the Prince of Wales,
wouId inteTcede in his behalf, but his
royal highness turned him down, and
Todhunter has been wondering where
ne was at ever since
On arriving on this side with a
retinue of English servants the jockey
announced his intention of going to
California and showing the natives of
the golden state now to ride a 'Orse, but
he was doomed to disappointment, as
the stewards at San Francisco wired
him that he could not ride until he had
SQUARED himself with his erstwhile Eng
fish friends The only course left open

down on his knees, ask forgiveness
from the people he has ignored and

DESPITE a. schedule of more big games

NEW CUP DEFENDER.
Expected to be Faster Than. the
CoIum bia

Boston, Dec 15.-There is more or
less speculation among local yachts
men on the probable speed of the big
yacht that CrOWninshield viii design
for a cup defender, based on state
ment credited to him that he would ex-
pect it to be five minutes faster than
the Columbia over the course in an
average breeze. It is understood that
the designer has had a full set of the
working plans of the Columbia for a
long time and is. therefore, qualified
to make a prediction. Mr.. Crownin-
shield is making the defenders plans
at his own residence and viii deliver
the frame to Mr.. LaWley, possibly next
Monday. The lead keel. however, IS
expected to be in shape by January
In laying down the yacht the mould
loft at Lawley's will be used and from
there the work can be changed either
to the boat shed or. if it should CO
happen. to the Atlantic works yards
in East Boston. although this latter
course may be as an expediency.
It is quite definitely learned that
Captain Watson has nothing to binder
his acceptance Of an offer to sail the
boat.

WEEKLY REVIEW
OF SPORTING EVENTS

Evidently Hodgert and Glenn Turville,
the two Salt Lake riders now racing in
California, are not dividing the pro-
ceedS of their winnings, and have
nothing in common in the struggle for
the cash offered as prizes by the Velo-
dTOme track in Los Angeles. Last
week Turville deliberately fouIed Hodg-
ert. causing him to lose first in the
handicap mile professional. According
to the reports HOdgert had the pole on
the finish and Turville deliberately
crowded him off the track, allowing
Gussie Lawson to jump into first posi-
ton, while he (TurVille) finished Sec
ond. The best part of the affair was
that the referee saw the whole perform
ance and used his authority in disqual-
flying Turville and giving his position
as well as the prize to HOdgert. The
work of TuTville since ne went 20 Los
Angeles has been very questionable
several times. Repeated warnings by
the referee have. been of no avail and
the disqualification by the referee fof
the above foul. according to reports,
was justiiable. After the race Tur-
vile was very wrathy at the decision
of the referee, making several unkind
remarks about him.
Reports from England indicate that
Tod Sloan's racing career is at an end
in that country for some time to come.
Charges of crooked work have been
made against him to the stewards OF
the Jockey club. and after q, most
thorough investigation they have been
proven true. At the same time charges
were preferred against Lester Reiff,
and he has in turn been entirely exon
Grated. A comparison of the two prom
inent American jockeys is interesting
Sloan is loud and bOastful, spends his
money on wine and women, while
Reiff is of a retiring disposition, spends
his evenings in study and supports his
mother in this country. The public III
the old country seems to be pleased
with the dethronement of Sloan and al
the same time gratified that Reiff came

speculation among those interested IN

it viii be many months before Kid Nc

in London spending his part Of the

parting for England he left enough

McCoy's weakness is the race track
He would rather bet on a 3-tO-1 shot
than eat a big. fat turkey. When sup
piled with funds he was a constant
visitor to the courses. 1t was the Old
story. He was soon broke, and while
financially embarrassed he and Cor
bett and Eddie Burke framed the take
fight. When TINS became KNOWN MS
credit became good with certain plung-
ing boolxmakers, and the result was
the cunning Kid set in markers to the
extent of $500. When his fight with
Corbett was discovered to be a fake he
was called to account and pleaded
guilty. He was then ordered out Of

Called the Wrong Man.

An Irishman arriving in Cincinnati
one night found it impossible to get a
bed to himself, but was permitted to
share one which had been engaged by
6: barber. Pat noted that his bedfel-
low was very bald and proceeded to
chaff him. This the barber endured
in silence, but when Pat had fallen
into a heavy slumber the other man
got up and shaved every hair off his
tormentor's head. The Irishman hav-
ing a long tramp before him on the
morrow, had left instructions that he
be called very early, and, it being still
dark when he rose, he did not notice
the loss of his hair. When some dis
lance on his way, however, he felt
thirsty, and, coming to a spring, took
off his hat and bent down to drink.
Seeing the reflection of his bald head
in the water, he sprang back aghast.
BE jabers." he exclaimed wrathfully,
they've called the wrong man."
