portunity of seeing on the club links the
second best amateur player in this coun-
try, Mr.. Findley S Douglas, who ex-
poets to be in the city shortly, and will

that there will be many other fine play

The repairs to the clay putting greens
have been stopped as it has been deter
mined to have no more clay putting
greens, but in the spring to plant them,
as well as to replant the grass greens,
with Bermuda grass, and thus have two
sets of grass greens, one set of which
can be used as relief greens, in this way
preventing the damage that results from
continued play on the same greens. This
decision is in keeping with the spirit of

FIGHT OF FEATHERWEIGHTS.
Porretto-Rice Event VIII BE Pulled
OF Tomorrow Night.

Much interest is manifested in the
featherweight fight which takes place at
the Theater tomorrow night between the
Italian fighting machine from Cincinnati,
Peter Porretto, and Austin Rice, the pu-
gilistic marvel from New London, Conn.
This will, without doubt be the most inn
portant featherweight fight that has TAX
en- place in the South since the pugihstic
carnival days at New Orleans.
Rice is a celebrity, and has remark
able ring record. His fight with Porretto
tomorrow night will be his third contest
within the last fifteen days. On Dec. 70
he knocked out Andy Daily of Boston, one
of McGovern's sparring partners, in the
twelfth OF what was to have been
twenty-round contest, and five days ago
he walloped the famous Eddie Lenny at
Youngstown, o. The Police Gazette an
nual does not record a single knockout
against the little wonder.
Porretto also has a clean record. Not
only has he never been knocked out, but
he has never had a decision given against
him. He has had one drawn battle, and
that was with Harry Forbes of Chicago,
which was a six-round go. Porretto has
fought twice in Atlanta, both times put
ting his opponent out good and cold i'm
few rounds, and it is safe to say that
Rice will have to skip lively to avoid his
bull-like rushes and heavy swings. Por-
retto has been doing some heavy train
ing, and is as hard as nails He let up
on his work somewhat last Friday, as
he was below the stipulated weight-120
pounds.
From all accounts the patrons appreci-
ate the merits of both contestants, and
large attendance is expected. Five hun
dred dollars was deposited with Tom Nc
Bride at the Turf Exchange yesterday
afternoon to be bet on Porretto.
The box office will open tomorrow
morning.

Some criticisms were heard as to the
makeup of Richelieu in the performance
of 1.-THE Three Musketeers" at the The
alter yesterday. 1t was argued that the
famous cardinal was shown as too young
a man. Theater-goers have been seeing
RIchelieu as feeble emaciated man with
little hair, and that gray, and it was a
surprise to see him as a man under mid
die age and Of strong step and dignlhed
bearing.
Richelieu as an old man is all right in
Lord Lyttons play. because he was then
over 60 years of age. But in Dumas The

years of age, at the time of the story
