 Jay Eaton, recently suspended for life by the N. c. Az is managing a bill Hard hall in Newark, while Orlando Stevens, similarly punished. is run ming bowling alley in San Jose, Cal. The latest news from Paris is to the effect that Taylor, the American cham pion. has begun his training to meet the foreign champions. For awhile he was held back by the coldness of the weather The Frenchmen would don their racing suits and go out on the track. but the Major would not do so. When approached he is said by a Paris paper to have replied: "I am an African, not a European" The French critics who are watching Taylor,s pre- paratory work comment upon the sup pleness of his stroke upon the pedals and dwell upon the fact that he pos sesses the characteristic. that has been notable in all truly great riders, that of keeping the back perfectly motion less, no matter what the pace.

M'PADDEN-RYAN FIGHT.

Middletown, April 3.-The boxing contest in the A1cDonough opera house in this city last night was largely at tended. It was under the auspices of the Samson Athletic club of New York, and Mo Harris of Waterbury was ref cree and J. r. Zimmerman of this city timekeeper. The first match was be- tween Billy Barrett of New York and Jack Fitzgerald of New Britain, and was to have been n ten-round go, but Fitzgerald's second threw up the spong in the sixth round, his man being badly punished. The final match was between Hughey McPadden of Brook lyn and Billy Ryan. The men went twenty rounds, McPadden having the best of it in all the rounds but the thirteenth and fourteenth, when Ryan made a good showing. The match was declared a draw.

WITH THE WRESTLERs.

The wrestling game is bringing out new wrinkles, in addition to fakes. At St Louis last week Max Wiley, the clever Rochester wrestler, ran up against Henry Abeken. As soon as Wiley got his hands on his opponent he withdrew them quickly and, turn ing to the referee. said: t.This, man is covered with grease! protest!' An investigation revealed the fact that Wiley's charge was true and as greas- ing constitutes q foul the match was awarded to the Rochester man. If Martin Julian should ever be com pelled to grease Nouroulah, the Turk, it might cost considerable to get in sufficient supply

WEIGHT LIFTING TRICKS

The business of lifting weights fa. championship appears to be filled with tricks. The match between Ro- landow and Johnson at the Grand Gen. tra1 Palace on Monday night showed this. Rolandow brought with him a grip lifting machine on which he had plenty of practice and because of his experience with it he naturally ex- celled Johnson. Had Rolandow cut this machine out of the match and confined the match to bar bells, it is a question whether. he would have dis posed of Johnson so easily The latter made no protests. but simply did the best he could under the circumstances. Neither man, by the way, can hold a candle to Sandow.

GREAT FENCING TOURNAMENT
A Benefit Rendered to the Oldest
 Fencing Instructor.

New York, April 3.-The most nota- ble gathering of professional fencing talent in this city in several years was seen last night in the Berkeley Ly- ceum, at benefit entertainment given in aid of Prof J. Castaldi, the oldest fencing instructor in America Cas- taldf is now about 70 years old, and for twelve years he was fencing in- structor in the United States navy, his headquarters for several years being at Newport on the old training ship New Hampshire. Prof Castaldi was present and was given a most hearty reception.
 Three amateur exhibits came first on the program. The professional competitors were Prof J. Murray. Go lumbia college. ys Prof NJ. Capdeyielle, Fencers' club; Prof NJ. Piacenti, Bos- ton A. A., vs Prof L.. Senac; Prof Car To Alberto ys Count A. Tayeggi, anna teur; Prof l.. Vauthier, Fencers' club, vs Prof A. Gouspy. N. r. A. c.
 The judges of the fencing were Dr Graeme NJ. Hammond, president of the Amateur Fencers' League of America, and ". Scott O'Connor, sec retary of the league. All the bouts were merely exhibitions, so no awards were given. The entertainment was given under the auspices of the Inter national Fencing club of New York.

YALE TO ROW COLUMBIA.
Freshman Crews of the Universities


 After an interruption of four years boating relations between Yale and Columbia. arrangements have been completed whereby the freshman crews of the two universities will meet in match race at New Haven on May IS. The race will be rowed over the mile course on Lake Whitney. The fact that the freshman crews will meet is regarded as especially impor- tant, in that it suggests possibility that the varsity crews may row again, either at New London or at Pough- keepsie.
 The first freshman races between Yale and Columbia included also Har- yard, and were startetf in June, 1891, being rowed on the Thames at New London. Columbia won the first year. with Yale second, Four times then Yale's oarsmen crossed the line first Columbia and Harvard each securing second place twice. The last race of the series was rowed in 1895 and re- suited in victory for Yale, with liar yard second and Columbia third The Columbia freshman crew has also been challenged by the Syracuse freshman eight. o1

PROFESSIONAL OFFICE HOLDER

The New York Evening Post is pungent in it's description Of the class of men who have come I'D in the na- ton with | hankering to be in office constantly. It finds them on the in- crease, and the extent to which those who have lost positions in congress, and have importuned the president to find places for them in appoIntive Of- fees to be filled, have succeeded, ap- pears to confirm the view, The Even ing Post concludes its discussion of the subject in this way:
 There are some odd things about our inveterate office-holders by appoint ment. They constitute; as we have said. political class as firmly fast ened upon the public treasury as if they were glued there by law. Yet they are the very men who were filled with noble rage at the thought of a public service to which entrance may be gained by merit, and in which there shall be fxity of tenure. That is the frightfu1 bete noir of a.per- manent office-holding class and it ter rifesno one so much as our permanent office holders. You will hear man who has, by favor or intrigue, lived at the public crib from his youth up NGsClIpC Wit1 A4iOFlltS IlOdNACANC LAC danger to the republic which lies in q class of public servants who may hold office during goood behavior. This Is slightly comic, but it is enough to move an anchorite to laughter to hear these same chronic office-seekers grave ly rebuke the Cubans for wanting office. That, they sagely explain, is the great peril of giving Cuba inde- pendence Her public men want office think of that. Her constitutional con- vention contains politicians! Yes. and ex-generals, men who never did q stroke of honest work, and hope to live out of politics. Clearly. this will nev- CT do. Such fondness for office as the Cubans display would be the ruin Of any republic, except one like our own. made great and strong and beautiful by patriots of the kind we have been considering. all whose thoughts are of office.-Boston Herald.

NUMBER SEVEN DISABLED.

Nash, Promising Columbia Oarsman,
 Breaks Ankle, Gripping the Crew
 Stephen r. Nash, one of Columbia's most prominent oarsmen, yesterday broke his ankle by trlmbling down q flight of stairs in the library. His injury will prevent hifn from rowing for five weeks. NasH Was in the var sity boat last year, and Hanlan had practically selected him for number seven this year. It is. possible that he will be able to row after he gets we'll, but taking him out of training at a critical time of the season and depriv- ing the boat of his services for over month are likely to initiate seriously against his utility when he does re- turn.

A BOYS CHANCE IN THE AIEDT.
 GAL PROFESSION.

Is the medical profession over stocked with votaries? By one who gives the subject a mere surface glance, this question can be readily answered~in the affirmative; while, by looking deeper into the matter, one may as readily say, no.
 Given a youth of natural aptitude for the work, and much may be ex- pected from him in this profession.
 In the first place, only high-mlnded, rge-souled, and, withal. practical youths should enter the field of medi- cine Common sense, that godly gift, is quite indispensable there. Many blunders are made as to location, a matter that demands the most care full thought and greatest care. It is safe to say that large percentage of the modern graduates in medicine will be most successful as country practi- tioners. Certainly, only he who has unusual energy and push, or pull 7 should think of starting amid the com petition of the city. While there is much truth in the statement that, Where there is nothing great to be done, T great man is impossible" when it comes to medicine. to be modest country doctor, surrounded by con fiding constituency, is no mean posi- eion to occupy, and might well fill the cup of ambition for the best-equipped man.
 Having located rightly, the next thing is conduct. A reputation. to be lasting, must not come accidentally, or by trickery, but be based on talent and merit. Such reputation is built up little by little-built to endure and to give one wealth that cannot be wholly represented by the money lie earns. 1t must be a large part of his working capital. The only way to se- cure it is by firm and persistent reli- ance on merit. In the battle of life it is not the events of school days and college hours, but the after perform ances, that prove the physician. The profession still offers abundant oppor- tunity to him who has n natural apti- tude for the work. Regarding loca- ton, I might add that one would be most likely to succeed in a section where his views, habits and tastes are naturally in harmony with most of the people, morally, socially and politicai- ly.--A. +.

April 9 the featherweight champion, his wife and children; Manager Sam Harris and wife, Dan Dougherty, the Philadelphia bantam, who acts as sparring partner, and Trainer Charley NIayhood, will start for California. This will be McGovern's first trip to the Pacific coast, and he is going there to fight Oscar Gardner before the Twentieth Century club of San Fran cisco, April 30. After that contest McGovern, so it is stated, will be pre- pared to make match with Frank Erne, the lightweight champion, who is now in Frisco, or any other man, barring George McFadden, who can do 133 pounds at the ringside. Me Fadden is barred because of his pc cu1iar tactics. McGovern also desires to guard against an accidental de feat,

MGoY. AND MAYER.

Charles Mccoy and Marvin Hart will not meet before the Fair Play Ati- 1etic club of Louisville,as was reported yesterday. Mccoy and Maher, how ever, may meet i'll q twenty round bout in Louisville on April 20. Thom- as O'Ronrke, who is now looking after McCoy's business interests, learned yesterday afternoon that Peter Maher wanted a match with Mccoy, and im- mediately wired to Louisville announe- ing his willingness to fight there. As the Fair Play Athletic club was ready to offer q purse for Hart and Mccoy there is every reason to believe that there will be | meeting between Me Coy and AIaher on Derby day. The report that Mccoy and Hart were matched grew out of message sent by 0'Rourke Monday night to the Fair Play Athletic club offering to match Mccoy against Hart. The club hunted out the recent conqueror of West and asked him to sign. The latter, how ever, showed no inclination to accept. He said that he did not want to meet man quite as good as the Hoosier. Mccoy expects to start for Saratoga to-day and will begin training, as he expects to meet Maher on April 29.

 The grand jury at Galveston, having the investigation of the cases of Joe Choynski and Johnson for alleged prize fighting, presented the following report to the presiding justice:
 '.The preponderance of the state s witnesses were largely. against the charge of q prize fight as defined by your honor, and the grand jury has found no bill against Choynski and Johnson. We think that too much inn portanee has been attached to this in significant affair, and that the moral and religious element in the state has been unduly excited by sensational and exaggerated enlargement of what oth- erwiSe, to this grand jury, appears to be a small affair, with no motive, in tent or fact.to show a violation of the law by Choynski and Johnson, and the spectators who witnessed the bloodless exhibition. After these two inyesti- gations the grand jury indulges in the hope that the incident Is closed
 Champion Jeffries, too, won his case against "Reformer" Frank Hall at Chicago. A week ago Hall secured warrants for the arrest of Jeffries and his brother for engaging in I boxing exhibition at a local theater. After the pugilist had been held for the grand jury in $200 each their attorney applied for q writ of habeaS corpus be- fore Judge Kavanagh. When the case came up the other day the court room was crowded with sporting people. Jeffries took the stand and explained to the court that the boxing exhibition which took place in the third act of his show was only q burlesque.
 Its no sparring contest said the champion. Ut always ends one way. If Jack licked me it would be bad for the play. I'm the hero, you know, and the hero is supposed to come out on top in everything he does. drop a Mexican greaser with srlght-hand smash on the jaw and fling another greaser out of balloon. You know, your honor, it would not look well to have the greasers knock me down or throw me out of the balloon, would it! The boxing, like the other things | do. Is all m me play, ana 1T cut out one feature may just as well cut out all, and that would leave me without . play"
 Frank Hall, the complainant raised a laugh when he said that he saw blows delivered that would fell any man in the court room. The judge waved him aside and said:
 There 1 no reason on earth to hold these men. This was clearly not q sparring contest and was nothing that the statutes, prohibit. The whole thing was pretense, q part of the play.
 Hall though defeated, declared that he would continue his crusade against boxing.
 SHARKEY TO FIGHT NsDENyER.
 Another change has been made in Tom Sharkey's schedule. Instead of fighting Peter Maher in private or meeting Frank Slayin in Alaska, the Sailor will go to Denver to fight Fred Russell, q fighter until now unheard of this side of the Mississippi. The fight is to be decided about the latter part of the month.
