 NEW ORLEANS, March 1s.--Rain- land and Stella Allen, both of whom outclassed their fields, were the only winning favorites. A heavy rain and hail storm came on after the fifth race, and in the sixth race horses and colors were only distinguishable as they pass ed the stand. The east scored again in the St. Patrick's Day handicap, worth $1,OS5 to the winner, De Reszke winning easily in the colors of M. L.. Hayman. Morning Star was strong favorite, but was never prominent and quit altogether in the run home. Roue, the second choice. made the running to the last eighth pole, where De Reszke. who had been cleverly nursed along by Matthews, went to the front and won easily by four lengths. Summaries:

FIGHTERS AFTER TITLES.

Two prominent pugilists, through their respective managers, isued chal- lenges yesterday in which champion ships are involved. The first came from Johnny Oliver on behalf of Tom my Murphy of the New Polo A. c. Oliver is ready to match Murphy against George Dixon, Abe AttelI or Hughey McGovern. Oliver regards Dixon as the featherweight champion in view of the fact that the negro can do any weight between 11S and 122 pounds. Oliver is ready to match Murphy for side bet He prefers McGoyern for the present. because he says McGovern has repeatedly avoided match with Murphy in the past.
 The other def comes from Danny Duane. Duane is a better fighter than some folks suppose. He has defeated Sam Langford. who in turn whipped Joe Cans. He has also conquered Jack Blackburn, who gave Cans severe tusle some time ago. Besides Duane has q fine record of victories over pugilists of reputation Johnny Mack, who looks after Duane, is ready to face Cans for the lightweight title for a purse and a good side bet

smasher Got the Blue Ribbon.

ROCHESTER, N. Y, March 1S.-- The duel between Rodney Smasher and Taysand for the blue ribbon for bulldogs WAS the feature of the judg- ing in the dog show. The former is owned by c. G. Hopton and the latter by Darlington Kennels, both of New York city. Rodney Smasher obtained the award Blaekmail. belonging to George Roosa of Saratoga, shown for the first time in the ring, won the novice for bulldogs and then beat out Taysand for the winners reserve. J. Pierpont Morgan's collies won nearly everything in sight, Champion More ton Hebe receiving the winners award. Big classes were judged in Boston terriers and toys, Mrs. F. Sem of New York being prominent in the latter.

THE PUGILISTS.
THE BUSY
 GLOVE ARTISTS
Mccoy May Have it Easy and he Hay Not-Fighters Seeking Titles s-Corbett Reported Not Training.

After hurling defiance at Robert Fisimmons, accompanied by q $5,0oO check, to fight at a certain limit in the heavyweight eIas. Kid Mccoy suddenly concluded to go back to the old tactics Of fighting easy marks. In Placke, the big Dutch pugilist, who recently ar- rived from Holland. Mccoy thinks he has the best cinch of his career. Placke is as big as a horse, carries about thirty pounds of hog fat and will be an elephant alongside of the shifty Mccoy, who probably intends to jab his man to pieces in the coming six round bout in Philadelphia. But if the Holland champion can be made to use his legs in rushing and can get Mccoy cornered long enuogh to send in some of the alleged tremendous Wallops with which he supposed to be gifted the Kid may not have such q walkover after all. Mccoy tackled big Gus Ruhlin at Syracuse some years ago. If the fight had gone to a finish Ruhlin could not have dost.' It was Sharkey's strength and rushing that beat the Kid down and out at the Lenox A. c later on. Possibly Ruhlin or Sharkey might be able to tell the big Dutchman how to deport himself when he faces the wiley Hoosier ill the ring. If Mccoy wins this fight he will have to make amtch with Fitzsinl- mons or crawl, for the Cornishman says he will take the Kid on at any fair terms.

CoRBETT NOT TRAINING

Reports from San Francisco would make it appear that Young Corbett is not training very hard for his com ing fight with Jimmy Britt, which takes place on March D. There has been so much wrangling between these lightweights that it seems hard to be- lieve the reports that all is not on the square. Copbett has a grudge against Britt and the same may be said of the latter in his feeling toward the Denver pugilist. It is a fact that Cor bett has never indulged in rigorous training except for his two fights with McGoyern, when 1t was necessary to make comparatively light weight. Tn the Britt fight he is asked to make 131 pounds at 6 o'clock which will be easy for him to do. Corbett, if he wins, will undoubtedly take on Joe Cans at 133,, the lightweight limit.

Michael J. Thompson Has Hopes of Landing a Team Here-New York Teams Having Good Practice.

Michael J. Thompson of this city, the former graduate manager of ath- letic sports at Georgetown college, is going to make strong fight to land Waterbury in the Connecticut league. He believes that Norwich, notwltl4- standing reports to the contrary, is not satisfied with the conditions in that city and will come to Waterbury if good inducements are offered. He has been looking over the ground here and has found that public sentiment is in favor Of base ball. He believes that base ball will pay here if good team is secured to represent the city. He can get a nine together in a week if he gets a franchise and will pick his team from many of the colleges. He lis 8 great friend of Ban Johnson of the American league and of all the man. agers in that league. All these have offered to assist him in getting a good team together if he gets franchise. Players on their reserved lists will be released to him and he is confident ne can put team in Waterbury that will be a credit to the city and to the league as we'll. He will visit Norwich this week and have conference with the magnates over there and see If the Norwich team cannot be transferred to this city.

CHICAGO, March 1S.--General Hor ace Thomas, until recently United States az praiser in Chicago, speaker of the Illinois house in 1881 and at one time state senator, dropped dead in the office of Attorney J. E. Abel. General Thomas was seventy years old. It is thought that his feeble health, together with his grief at be- ing removed from office few weeks ago, brought on his death. He was appointed appraiser of the port of Chi cago by President Mckinley seven years ago. He was removed after ex- tensive correspondence with Secretary of the Treasury Shaw. He charged the loss of his place to politics,

 The trial closed with disagreement of the jury, and they were discharged.

CLOSE FOR HART:

The following account of the fight between Marvin Hart and Sandy Fer guson shows that Hart had a very close call and draw would have pleased the crowd:
 Marvin Hart received the decision over Sandy Ferguson in a 2O-round contest before the Wilmington Park Athletic club Wednesday night The Louisville man did the leading all the way through, but Ferguson landed many left jabs. A draw would have pleased the crowd, In the seventh round Hart was knocked to the floor for count of seven. Tn the latter rounds, however. Hart came back and fought like a demon.
 Tn the pralimir a~ies Frankie Howe whipped Mike Kelly in three rounds, and Christie Williams p ut away Emmet Mitchell in three rounds.
