Emancipation Exercises.

Emancipation Day was observed
here last Monday by two organiza-
tions, both of which had a parade.
One Was led by Mr.. j. G. Randolph
and the other by Mr.. James c. Smith.
The former had more carriages and
the latter had more men on foot.
Mr.. Randolph secured the bands OF
Petersburg as the Mayor of that city
would not grant a permit for a pa
rade. Mr.. Smith and his friends had
employed ali of the bands available
in Richmond. IL is alleged. Mr.. Ran
dolph had engaged the Broad Street
Park. A baseball game there inter
fered TO some extent with the ar
rangements.
Mr.. Smith carried his followers to
Fairmount Park at 21st and Fair
mount and both seemed to have had a
good time, although both parad es
would have made only one fairly good
showing.

RYAN WON'T TRAIN JOHNSON
Fears Public Opinion, No Matter Who
Might Win Big Fight.

Chicago. April 5.-Tommy Ryan
has backed out OF his agreement with
Jack Johnson to help train the burly
negro for the heavyweight champion
ship battle with Jim Jeffries at Em-
eryville, Cal, on July 4th. After
thinking the matter over carefully,
Ryan, who prides himself with teach
ing Jeffries that famous crouch. came
to the conclusion that It would be
a risky job for him to undertake
"Supposing that 7 were to train
Johnson. and through my teachings
the colored fellow were to defeat
Jeffries. wouldn't be unpopular the
country over?" asked Tommy "You
see, Jeff has a great following, and
IL he loses there will be a lot Of
soreheads. On the other hand, let's
concede that I trained Johnson and
he lost. Think of the roasting I
would get all over the country. I
have thought the thing over from
every angle, and decided I do not
care TO train Johnson for the money
/ could earn by so doing"
Johnson has secured partial re-
venge on the police. He demanded
jury trial on the latest charge OF
speeding his auto, ani was acquitted.
Hereafter Jack will never trust him
self to the mercies of the court alone,
he says.
johnson left for Bellevue, Canada,
tonight, where he makes a one-night
stand. He will be back In Chicago on
Friday.

saw Jenries when he arrived from

Mountains, Jack Johnson is in for
a bad beating when he faces the re-
tired boilermaker.

was in the lighting game.
Van Court said: "Jenries looks
the same TO me as he did a number
OF years ago, when he Was fighting.
There is only one difference. When
he takes OF his hat he shows that
he has less hair. but physically ne is
I'm great shape. and he has an eye
that denotes he is already fit for a
fight. There is no question in my
mind but that he will stand the

which now confront christianity in

There are some things in the form

be accomplished by a united effort

moters of the contest. have TO wait

wants OF il before very long, but Il is
TO come from his sparring partners
and those who will be his seconds

"Jeffries will have twelve assist

Gleason today. within two weeks
there will be eight OF them who are
capable OF delivering a hard punch,
working with the big fellow and Cor
bett will reach the camp by June 1st,
il not before.
Every one of them will box at
least one round every day with JEFF
fries, and ne has just written me that
he Is going to let them wallop him
as hard as they can.
In other words, Jeffries is going
to take no chances on not getting
into fine defensive condition. He
realizes that Johnson is the strong
est man he has ever fought, and the
heaviest clever man. Jeffries wrote
me that his idea was to allow his
sparring partners to land whenever
they could and with all their force,
although he will not, OF course. hit
them as hard as he can, so that he
will be trained to withstand the shock
