Corbett and Sullivan.

g8 Tn agreeing to take on Dave Sullivan for twenty-round fight in Frisco on February %, Young Corbett has as stunned something of task. They will meet at catch weights, which means that they will scale around 13O pounds. Sullivan has been after Corbett's scalp ever since he saw the latter beat Me Govern at Hartford two years ago last Thank ksgiving day. Sullivan was up in arms the moment that McGovern was counted out. He declared that if he had been in Terry's place he could have won and he still believes that he can beat the Denver boy under any conditions. Sullivan has been fighting steadily for ten years. At one time. just after his two sensational victories over Patsy Haley of Buffalo at the Polo A. 0. in New York, he was re garded as possible featherweight champion to succeed Dixon, but i'll short and unsatisfactory bout with the latter Sullivan met defeat. More than a wear ago he was beaten by McGov- ern in a fierce fight held in Louisville. Those who saw Sullivan Light the other night in Boston say that Young Cor bett will have his hands full.

 THE CORNERS.
Sharkey and Munroe Bids T0-Day--Corbett's Hard Task FitZSimmOns as a Warbler

Whether there is to be a fight be- tween Tom Sharkey and Jack Munroe will be definitely known to-day, when bids, if any are received, will be opened. The men decided to choose q battle-ground last Friday, but the lack of proposals compelled them to post pone the decision. Sharkey is hopeful that some club will come forward with an offer, and to this end has done some preparatory training. The chances of the fight taking place in public do not seem as bright as the men expected, owing to the fact that each bid must be accompanied by a certified check calling for $2,0OO. And there is an other drawback, and that is that San Francisco cannot bid for the encounter because Sharkey refuses to fight there. Sharkey says that if no fight is held it will not be because he is at fault, as he is satisfied to take Munroe on in private to finish if there is no other way of deciding the mill. But in doing this he insists on side bet of from $1 ,O00 to $5,O0O.

Novel Race Won by yirGimfa,s Laeu-
 tenant Governor.
 Joseph B. Willard, the dignifed lieu tenant governor of Virginia and presi- dent of the senate, has proved himself the fieetest footed man in the Old Do minion, having beaten a rabbit in q race in which neither was handicapped, says Richmond dispatch.
 Colonel Willard is young and active. He is likewise fond of hunting. Fur thermore, he is tender hearted, dislik- ing extremely to hurt anything.
 The rabbit in question was discover ed in its bed in an open field by the lieutenant governor and might have been killed without difficulty, but Colo nel Willard declined to take any mean advantage He laid his gun down in the field and said, eff that rabbit can beat me running, he can go wherever he chooses"
 Then he stirred the rabbit up, and there was tight race across the field. Colonel Willard gained steadily and just before the woods were reached succeeded in catching the rabbit by the hind leg. It was a remarkable feat.

Toe Cans Won.

Joe Cans, lightweight champion. has evidently recovered his punch, for on Tuesday night at Mount Clemens, Mich, he made burly boxer named Clarence Connors quit in two rounds. The negro essayed to stop Connors, who is a middleweight, inside of six rounds, and the decisive way in which he accomplished the trick convinced those present that the champion is himself again. From the sound of the gong Cans sailed into Connors and pounded him all over the ring. Con nors tried to hold on, but each time Cans shook him off and then sent a stiff punch to his face or jaw. In the first round Connors was fioored three times and in the second Cans put him out of the bout with clean smash to the face.
