Pain Killer, the California race horse,
by Joe Hooker, recently won the Mil

In W Sj, 49 and 49. In the race Sunday

The jockiet have commenced early to

the executive committee ruled off jockey

No matches have been proposed by
Frank P. Slavin since his battles wtUi
Bill Uoode and his contest with Jem
Smith. Probably tbe Australian is still
spending his honeymoon, and when that
la over he may throw down the gauntlet
and challengo all gladutora to meet him
In tbe arena.
In regard to the proposed match be
tween Joe McAulilfe and Peter Jackson,
it is the opinion there will be no match
because Charles E. Daviot, who has. in
conjunction with the California Athletic
Club, a mortgage on Jackson, will not
allow him to meet the 'Frisco Giant until
Jackson meets John L Sullivan.
Win. O'Connor, the champion oars
man of America, and holder of tbe "Po
lice Gasette" champion challenge cup,
met with a grand reception at Melboun.j,
Australia, recently. At the Angel Ho
tel he was banqueted, and the Hon.
Daniel O'Connor, the Postmaetor-Uen-eral,
who is very popular and a great
lover ol sport, proposed a toast to tbe
American champion.
II all the racing associations would fol
low up the action ol the Memphis Jockey
Club, by ruling off tricky jockeys at
once, a check would be put to trickiness.
It is a duty tbe racing associations owe
to the public, as it is the latter that pat
ronise me race-tracts and go to the
races to wager their money with, the be
lief that tbe races will ba run on their
merits. They have no guarantee unless
the officials of the track prevent pulling
horses and other tricks practised on tbe
turf. .
A well-known amateur, thoroughly
posted in canlne-cotitesta and on "Police
Uasulte" and dog fighting rules, recently
filled tbe position at a contest between
Spot and llarnoy. He proved tbe right
man in uie rigtii place, lor ae decided
what dog had won after he had been
knocked down with a "boot-jack," and
when the crowd behind the beaten dog
held revolvers at Ins Head, and later on,
shot at him. The referee in the Barney
and Spot contest was a hero in bis posi
tion, and he gave the partisans of the
dog that were bound not to lose a lesson
The sensation in pugilistic circles is
the fact that the California Athletic Club
has decided to nut up a purse of 12,0,000
for John L. Sullivan, holder of tbe "Po
lice Gasette" champion belt, and Peter
