GUESSES AND BETS.
Opinions and Wagers On
Fight Don't Align.
Nine-Tenths of the Unbacked
Assertions Favor Ryan.
Nevertheless the Betting at Present
Is at Evens.
On the Other Hand, the Prophets Are
Fairly Divided on the Alaher-Fitz
simmons Question, While the For
mer, .Though an Unknown Quantity,
Is Favorite ln the Books.
Interest in the Fitzsimmons-Maher
and the Ryan-Needham contests is ap
proaching fever heat aB the day set for
the battles, March 2d, draws near. The
opinions of sporting men and writers on
pugilism are about equally divided as
to the outcome of the Fitzsimmons-
Maher fight, says the Chicago Times.
But everybody, with perhaps the
exception of Needham's personal
friends, pick Ry*n as a sure win
ner. Opinions, however, do not and
can r»ot make any one win any more
than the betting. The fact that a man
is a favorite in the betting does not nec
essarily win him the battle any more
than it makes a favorite in any other
event win.
The betting in both these fistic en
counters is about even, although there
has been a few bets placed at 100 to 80
on Maber. That may appear strange
when opinions are equally divided,
while in the Ryan-Needham contest
nine-tenths of the sporting fraternity tip
Ryan as sure winner, and the betting is
still at evens. That simply proves that
opinions and betting do not always travel
hand in hand, If they did Ryan would
be alto 10 favorite. It always shows
that men do not always bet
their money as freely or as strongly as
they express their opinions. If Maher,
as an unknown quantity, should sell
over Fitzaimmons, who has proven him
self to be a game, clever, and scientific
fighter, why should not Ryan, who has
never been defeated and who has won
from Needham before, be a red-hot
favorite ?
ON PUBLIC PERFORMANCE.
What makes a horse, an oarsman, a
billiardist or a sprint runner a favorite
if it is on the square? Nothing but
public performance. Now, if the bets
on the two coming fights were placed
according to the form previously shown
by the four principals, Fitzsimmons
would be a favorite over Maber, and
Needham, who has met and defeated
better men than Ryan has, previous to
his meeting the latter, should sell over
Ryan. The only thing that is in favor
of Ryan is that he beat Needham, and
that of course is everything from a bet
ting standpoint. It naturally follows
that if Needham whipped better men
than Ryan did, and that the latter beat
the former, it is but natural to presume
that Ryan could have defeated every
one that Needham did, and as that is
presumably public performance Ryan
ought to be the favorite.
"How can Fitzsimmons win against so
much weight?" is a query put by Ma
her's admirers in Chicago. What do
those same admirers know of Matter's
fighting ability that they think the
Irish champion can win in a walk? The
majority of them have never seen Maher
and all they know about him is what
they have read or been told, and that,
at the most, has been that he knocked
out a lot of would-bes. He of course put
them all to sleep in short order, but
could not Fitzsimmons have done the
same?
THE WHY AND WHEREFORE.
They either overestimate Matter's
ability or underestimate Fitzsimmons's.
If they think that Maher can easily
punch out the Australian because he did
the same trick to, as everybody must
acknowledge, a lot of "mugs" in the
east then Fitzsimmons must be a "mug"
himself. But if, as they all admit, lanky
Bob is a clever and hard man to whip,
why do they think that Maher will lick
him in a round or two?
It simply proves that they express
their opinions without sifting the ques
tion down to bottom. When Jem Mace
was matched to fight Sam Hurst, the
"Staylebridge Infant," for the champion
ship of England it was look, c! upon aa a
feast for Hurst. One good punch was
all the "Infant" wanted to get into
Mace to win, and everybody thought he
would get it easily. Hurst had previ
ously won the title from Tom Paddock.
A right-hand drive into Tom's body by
Hurst, which broke three of his ribs,
settled the business for poor Tom. Pad
dock was a larger man than Mace and
the majority of those who went to
ccc the fight expected to see Mace
get knocked dead in the ring. Well,
the men met. Mace weighed about 156
pounds and Hurst about 205 pounds and
stood fully five inches over Mace. There
was weight, height and strength against
science and the latter won. The long
looked-for punch that was to kill Mace
never came and Jem stepped out of the
ring champion of England, and without
receiving a black eye. So much for
strength and weight against science.
Now, if Fitzsimmons will fight Maher
carefully and put all his science to use
and make a waiting fight of it, hitting
when he can without laying himself
open for a return, his chances to win are
excellent. Should he, on the other
hand, foolishly go in and exchange hit
for hit and continue mixing it up with
the Irish champion, strength and weight
are bound to tell, and he will then lay
himself open to defeat. As nobody
knowß, with perhaps the exception of
himself and his trainer, Jimmy Carroll,
just what tactics Fitzsimmons will
adopt, it is a bard matter for anybody
to tell just how long the fight will last.
WILL BE A LOKG FIGHT.
Ryan and Needham will undoubtedly
spend two hours or more in the ring, as
both are very careful fighters, Ryan es
pecially so. If the latter cannot get at
iveedhain it is a certainty that Ryan
will keep bis opponent guessing to get
LOS ANGELES HERALD.
back. Both men will be in condition
to put up a long fight, and if the battle
should simmer down to a test of endur
ance the Chicagoan stands the better
chance to win, as he is younger and
stronger than his opponent. Reports
from the training quarters say that both
men are in fine condition. The only
drawback to Needham's physical condi
tion is his hand, which, however, he
expects to be strong enough to, pull him
through a long battle. They are both
clever men, and from a scientific stand
point the welter-weight contest will be
more interesting than the one between
Maher and Fitzsimmons.
CORBETT TAKES A DROP.
Jim Corbett has at last had his ambi
tion—that of knocking out a couple of
men—gratified. But oh, at what a cost!
Generally when a pugilist puts a few
men asleep in short order his reputa
tion goes up, but the means that Cor
bett used to accomplish this purpose
have sent his down like the fall of a
piledriver. Why is it thus? Because
he engaged two of tbe biggest stiff* be
could get, and at that he did not stop
them. Jim, however, takes the credit,
which by right belongs to Police Cap
tain Reilly, who stopped both pugilists
by ordering them out of the ring. Cor
bett also gobbled up the big end of the
gate money, which also belonged to Cap
tain Reilly, for, as heretofore mentioned,
stopping two men in less than three
rounds each. If Captain Reilly wishes
to give Jim Corbett the credit
and all the money for what be
himself accomplished it is his
own business, and nobody can blame
Corbett for accepting it. Corbett is a
gentleman, forsooth, and as such will
no doubt give credit to whom credit is
due, and it is hoped that hereafter when
ever he speaks about the great feat be
accomplished at Madison Square garden
February 16, 1892, he will say: "Me and
Captain Reilly stopped two men and
bested another in three three-minutes
rounds each."
HAVE A MIGHTY "PULL."
There must be a "nigger in the wood
pile" somewhere in the neighborhood
of the Mulberry-street police headquar
ters in New York, or else Muldoon,
Corbett & Co. have a big pull. When
Corbett and Mitchell were matched to
spar six rounds for scientific points only,
and with big gloves, Inspector Murray
called a halt, and under no consideration
would he permit the affair to go on. He
suddenly came to the conclusion that
boxing, or rather slugging, at the garden
could not and would not be tolerated.
And only five days after the sparring
match between Corbett and Mitchell was
to have taken place he gives a permit
for the Californian to attempt to knock
out three men in one night.
"There is one thing about the show
that struck me as being funny," said Joe
Lannon the next day. "Before I got on
the stage Inspector Williams told me
I'd be 'pinched' if I tried to knock Cor
bett out. Muldoon said the same thing.
I asked why he did not announce that,
and he replied that it was not essential,
and I'm pretty sure he didn't tell Cor
bett that."
If Lannon was given to understand
that he was hot to knock Corbett out it
is but right to presume that Spillings or
Caffery, or Coffey, or whatever his name
may be, were told that they would be
'pinched' if they did not lie down at the
first opportunity.
"No other man than Jim Corbett,"
says a New York paper, "could have
given so wretched a show and been
dealt with as he was. This is because
Corbett is quiet, well-behaved, intelli
gent and a pleasant fellow to meet.
Sullivan would have been roasted
from "soup to coffee" had he given a
like show. Mitchell would have been
scorched, and Slavin and Maber would
be drummed out of town. People would
never forgive them. But with Jim it is
different.
A man can be both a gentleman and
a pugilist, but if he is only the former
he should not be permitted to gull the
public in the guise of the latter.
PLAYS AND PLAYERS.
Mr. Grismer and Miss Davies did not
play to very profitable houses last week.
Nor will they for some time to come.
Tbe fact is that both have been in Cali
fornia too long and have worn their wel
come out by too frequent starring tours.
A few years in a good eastern stock
company would do both of them good,
and an absence of that length of time
from the coast would insure them a good
reception when they return.

Tbe forthcoming engagement of the
eminent tragedian, Mr. Frederick
Warde, which occurs at the Grand
opera house, Wednesday, March 2d, and
for the balanc«of the week, promises to
be "ne of the events of the season. On
Wednesday ? light and at the Saturday
matinee a production of The Lion's
Mouth will be given. Thursday night a
revival of his former success. The
Mountebank; Friday, Richard 111, and
Saturday night Damon and Pythias.
The following outlines some of the beau
ties of The Lion's Mouth :
"Frederick Warde, who must now be
ranked among the very first of legiti
mate actors, opened a week's engage
ment at the Lueeum last night. He
presented Guy Carleton's new play, The
Lion's Mouth, for the first time in this
city. In these days, when the modern
domestic drama is at the height of its
popularity, it is truly a refreshing nov
elty to witness the production of a blank
verse play, dealing with characters of
the sixteenth century, and having its
scene laid in Venice. The pluck of Mr.
Carleton, in writing, and in Mr. Warde
producing such a play as The Lion's
Mouth cannot be commended too high
ly. That their work is appreciated was
evidenced by the frequent spontaneous
applause of last night's audience.
"The Lion's Mouth is unique, and
therein lies its chief virtue. Nothing
like it—that is, exactly like it—has ever
been produced. Every American author
who has heretofore written biank verse
plays, has considered it necessary to
make it tragic and kill off two or three
characters in every act. The Lion's
Mouth is not a tragedy, and tbe absolute
absence of tbe grim reaper adds much
to its merit as a pleasing production.
Francescadi Rimini is scholarly in con
struction, beautiful in sentiment and
sorrowful in effect. The Lion's Mouth is
scholarly in construction and beantiful
in sentiment and delightful in effect.
Mr. Young's play sends an audience
SUNDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 28, 1892--TWELVE PAGES.
home with tears in their eyes, while
Mr. Carleton's drama sends them away
in a pleasing frame of mind, conducive
to an appreciation and remem
brance of the beautiful sentiment
they have heard. That is the very
point of superiority that the average
play-goer makes in favor of Mr. Carle
ton's play. Paul di Novara, the leading
character of The Lion's Mouth, is a
picture of ideal manliness. He is loyal
in love, valiant in war, unswerving in
his cause and thoroughly upright in
character. Besides all this he is young,
robust and handsome. Mr. Carleton
has given him speeches that are forcible
and sublimely beautiful, and, consider
ing every attribute, he is certainly one
of the most admirable characters ever
introduced to the stage.
"Mr. Warde has made Paul di Nova
ra the exact character the author in
tended. It is doubtful that there is an
other man identified with the American
stage who could impart to Mr. Carle
ton's hero the qualities that make him
such a thorougly admirable character.
Mr. Warde's interpretation of the part
is really great. His lines are of the style
that tempt tbe actor to rant, but Mr.
Warde carefully avoids the tempta
tion."

That excellent actor, Mr. L. R. Stock
well, has leased the Powell-street thea

will be known as "Stockwell theater."
It will be opened by August in Daly's

be complete in all modern particulars,
and will be the handsomest in San
Francißco. Mr. Stockwell will, besides
the best theater, have the services of
the best business manager he could
possiby get, Mr. Alf Ellinghouse, an ex

L. R. Stockwell has leased in addition
to his new theater, a three-story build
ing adjoining the stage entrance, which
he intends converting into commodious

Old Dame Gossip says that an Ameri
can manager is negotiating with Ibsen
for a play to be written around a New

undertake it, but the report ie one of the
old lady's fakes. A. P*. Dunlop, not a
very long time since, asked the great
dramatist to write a play for Richard
Mansfield, but he excused himself by
saying that he had all he could do for
five or cix years to come. Mr. Ibsen,
by the way, writes but one play each
year.
Stuart Robson is creating a furore in
the west. His business has benn enor

than the army of wiseacres who pre
dicted many things in connection with
his tour, notably, that "She Stoops to
Conquer" would fall flat. The "Henri
etta" is an established success,
and Mr. Robson is inimitable
as Bertie the Lamb, but his
Tony Lumkin is a genuine triumph
of artistic ability, and not the outcome
of that potential factor of success, oppor
tunity. Manly art, legitimate effort, de
void of the old-fashioned, low-comedy
methods that usually disfigure the
standard-comedy acting of today. Mr.
Robson has selected a capable company
of artists to surround him, and his
lovely wife, Miss Waldron, as Kate
Hardcastle is in excellent favor in his
support. Nothing succeeds like success,
and his success has been as successful as
success always succeeds.
THE WOMAN'S BUILDING.
MES. WILDER RECEIVES A RE
QUEST FOR MATERIAL.
What Is Needed to Make the Woman's
Building at the Chicago Fair Complete.
Information About the Designs.
Mra. Dr. Wilder, the local member of
the State Board of Lady managers of
the Chicago world's fair office recently
received a letter from Mrs. Rue the
Santa Rosa member of tbe board, in
which she congratulates Mrs. Wilder
on her appointment, and pleasantly
alludes to her ability and her possession
of the necessary qualifications.
She also enclosed a letter from Mrs.
Susan 6. Cooke the secretary of the
Chic -o board which is as follows:
Chicago, 111., Feb. 2,1892.
Mm. Parthenla F. Rue, Santa Rosa, Cal.:
Dear Mrs. Rue: In answer to *your
letter received some time ago, in which
you speak of contributing wood or mar
ble to the Woman's building, please
find inclosed specifications for carved
panels.
We are greatly in need of wood for the
finishing of the interior, and we would
like to know as soon as possible bow
much you can undertake to do. It may
be sent in the rough, and worked out
here, or we will send dimensions to be
worked out in California. We need
everything that goes into the interior
finish of a building, leaving to the con
tributor to choose as she pleases.
Panels to be of two sizes: Twenty
inches square; twenty inches in height,
by three feet eight inches in width.
Wood—lt is desirable that the panels
should harmonize in color, and for this
reason holly, maple or other light woods
of the same tone are preferred.
Carving—To be in low relief. Will
accept polished uncarved panels.
Designs—To be conventional in style,
Italian Renaissance preferred. This,
however, is not obligatory. The name
of the artist and of tbe state of which
the wood is native, may appear in a
small panel forming part of the design.
It has been decided that the different
states must procure their own designs,
the time now being so short that tbe
board of lady managers cannot under
take to furnish them; and it is recom
mended that the various schools of de
sign be invited to contribute them.
In sending the designs, which must
be submitted to the secretary of the
board of lady managers, please send en
dorsements from state board, or from
lady managers of the state, as to ability
to execute the same.
An uncarved margin of at least two
inches is to be left around the outer edge
of panels. All to be sent in by June 15,
1892.
Please state, as soon as possible, tbe
number and size of panels, carved or un
carved, that you will send.
Contributions of marble or granite
columns are desired as follows:
1. Twenty-four columns, in two
groups of four, and two of eight, similar
shafts. Cannot use white or gray stone
in these groups. Dimensions: Diameter
16 inches, height 10 feet.
2. If none of those groups can be fur
nished, we would like single columns
with cut cap and base, made from de
signs supplied by us or from drawings
submitted to us by the donors.
These columns are not to be placed in
the architecture of the building, but are
to be used as standards to carry urns for
electric lights, so they may vary in de
sign and color.
3. Plasters in groups of two may be
used. Dimensions—Height, 10 ieet;
width, 16 inches; thickness, 5 inches.
These columns need not be monoliths,
but may be made in two or three pieces.
If any of these groups are offered, we
would iike to have a sample of the
stone, and if we can use it we will send
working drawings for the shaft.
Freight charges to be defrayed by the
donor.
Mrs. Palmer has gone out to Jackson
park this afternoon, to see how things
are going on, and to arrange for the
columns of marble or granite that have
been promised.
Fail to ISO our Duty
Everybody has at times failed to do their

greatly from Norvous Prostration and sleepless
ness, tried physicians aud different medicines
without success. But one bottle of Dr. Miles'

Neckwear.
How the Spring Young Man May
Know He Is All Bight.
Neat But Not ttaudy Styles-Great
Effects ln Collars, Cuffs and
Shirts—Scarfs and
Ties.
The Sartorial Art Journal furnishes
the following fashion notes for men.
The spring and Bummer young man
will not be so gorgeous as of yore, but,
partaking of the present quietness in
male attire, will subside to a very nor
mal individual indeed.
a
# »
Not that he will cease to be elegant in
his dress, but the elegance will be that
of richness devoid of glaring effects and
extreme fancies.
•••
The neglige shirt of last summer, no
matter how costly, will not be brought
forth to adorn his manly bosom during
the coming season.
**»
Neither will the Oxford, Madras or
any other cloth of fancy weave find
favor in his eyes.
m
# #
But his interest will rather center in
the percale shirt in quiet effects, with
white collars and cuffs stitched on.
# *
The bosom will have a narrow single
stitched edge, likewise the collar and
cuffs, and will close with three rather
large mother-of-pearl buttons, Bewed on.
»*#
In neck dressing, both for these and
for white plain-bosom shirts, the four
in-hand scarf of two and one-half inches
in width will receive most favor in his
eyes.
But the band bow will also enlist his
attention, and will make a pleasant
change from the long-tail scarfs.
#*»
In colors the first choice will be silver
gray, followed by rich verbena and buff
in their respective order.
«*#.
The material will be English twill
silk, and the designs will be in white of
various but simple configurations.
» »
These colors and material will be em
ployed for both the four-in-hand and
band bow, and also for the close-knotted,
flowing-end ASCot, which will be third
in the procession of popular favor.
#*#
Altogether, furnishings in the way of
neck dressings seem for the nonce to be
in harmony with tbe season's colorings
in woolens, and this being an exception
is worthy of special note.
#*»
Heretofore colorings in scarfs, etc.,
seem to have been selected by manu
facturers haphazard and without due
regard for the colorings in suitings, and
we have persistently advocated a change
in this respect.
* *
It is a pleasure, therefore, to be able
to chronicle the fact that at last the
change has taken place, aud with a sigh
of relief we can say "better late than
never."
»*»
Now when the spring and summer
young man dons his silver-gray suit he
will find at hand a scarf of the same
co'oring, likewise the same in tan.
#
* »
But should he prefer a contrasting
shade, then the deep verbena cannot
fail to please his fancy, for it may be ap
propriately worn with almost any color
in suitings.
.»*»
Of course, he will also have the usual
run of soft arid lusterless creams and
whites, with or without dark or self-fig
uringß to select from, and aB an odd
fancy the solid black.
n
* »
And in shapes the culros, which is a
small knot with full flowing Windsor
ends, & l / 2 inches in width; the Minhead,
an irregular crossed medium size puff,
and the Garrick puff. All beautiful and
all elegant in texture.
» «
It must not be presumed, however,
from the foregoing paragraphs that the
spring and summer young man will be
continually spruced and starched.
**»
Not at all; for it seems highly proba
ble that presently the flannel shirt of
tbe finest weave in twills will again
come in favor for neglige costumes at
the sea shore and in the mountains;
but for town wear, never.
m
» w #
Certain it is that manufacturers have
of late received inquiries from high-class
furnishers for these goods, and the in
ference seems natural that they will
once more be put forward for approval.
»**
And as "something easy" has come to
be a necessity for summer wear, and in
view of the fact that other materials for
the purpose have run into the cheap and
common grades, it seems reasonable to
suppose that they will meet the appro
val of those who fancy such things,
■i
» »
But the sash, what of that? Well,
this is a question not readily answered.
It, also, has been "done to death," and
such being the case it cannot'be seri
ously considered in this summary.
»*«
Certainly not for dress, and writing of
dress a word in that respect is in order.
#
» »
Plain shirt fronts, with narrow-stitch
ed edges, and plain "everything,"
in fact, including the lawn tie, will be
correct, and collars will be of moderate
height with moderately hand-turned or
ironed-over points. Otherwise properly
appareled, and with the little things of
i attire in accord with the spirit of this

THE GREATEST BROOD MARE.
An Eastern Writer Claims the Title for
Minnehaha.
"Vindicator" writes as follows in the
current number of the Chicago Horse
man about Minnehaha, owned by L. J.
Rose:
A SO'called horseman almost took my
breath away lately by his exclamation:
"What has Minnehaha ever done except
to be the dam of Beautiful Bells and
bask in the sunlight of her reflected
glory?" Law, zee! wasn't that a com
mentary on turf history?
If Minnehaha had never produced that
great brood mare she wonld still have
been one of tbe greatest producers and
transmitters of remarkable trotting speed
within the pages of the Register, Kiy«
of her own progeny are in the 2:30 list,
and four more are likely to be. Thoee
in are:
Alcazar 2:23—3; 2:20W—5). .2:20)4
Sweetheart'2:26'a—2; 2:22K-3) 2:22)2

Beautiful Bells (2:30>4—4; 2:29U—0) .. 2:20)2
San Gabriel (5) 2;20g
Sweetheart's 2 at two j ears old
was the champion record when taken,
and she haß produced Red Heart, with
a two-year-oid record of 2:26. Eva was
a half-second better than Sweetheart at
the same age, her record being 2:26 at
two years old. Alcazar, who also beat
2:30 as a two-year-old, has begotten a
two-year-old with a record of 2:26, and
another with a record of 2:29, and an
other with a record of 2:29%, and had
five trotters in the list when himself bat
eight years old, and has al
ready added another ior the new
year. Beautiful Bells produced six in
in the list, among which two have held
champion yearling records at
and 2 :26 1 4 ; two have 3-year-old records
below 2:20. Three of her sons are al
ready represented in the 2:30 list by
2-year-olds ranging in records from 2:23
to 2:27X>. Minnehaha's daughter Mabel
has produced one in the list, and an
other daughter, Atalanta, has produced
two. _ With five trotters of her own in
the list and five suns arid daughters thai,
have produce in tbe list, and three
grandsons that have put 2-year-olds in
the list, and she a mare still alive and
breeding, how are you going to beak
Minnehaha? Think of what a drove of
2-year-olds that are in the 2:30 list are
her close descendants.

The above table counts nothing but
2-year-olds, though Minnehaha's blood
is rich in produce by other standards. I
think psch a demonstration in the 2
year-oid form goes to show that speed is
innate to the blood, and 1 do not believe
you can find another mare that at 23
years old has made a like demonstra
tion, not even the great Green Mountain
Maid, with her famous son Electioneer
to help her.
Whoever uses the sons and daughters
of Minnehaha to breed from draws upon
as great and uniform a source of trotting
instinct and power as was ever incased
in the hide of a brood mare. The world
haa never seen her superior. I doubt if
it has Been her equal. You cannot pay
too high a price for the service ot her
sons. Her daughters should be price
less. VIMDICATOR.

Coi.usa, Cal., Feb. 22,1890.
Hall Mm. Co.: Gentlemen, — I had a
valuable Almcnt colt badly cut on the leg
by barbed wire, the cut being about tea
inches in length. Proud flesh began to
gather, a stiff joint followed, and the colt
could hardly move his leg. I was ready to
give the colt away, when I began using
your Hall's Cream Salve for Horses, and
before three bottles were used the proud
flesh was removed, the stiffness in the joint
was overcome, and my colt was well. Your
Hall's Cream Salve is the best thing on
earth; it not only cured the sore, but is
caused the hair to grow, leaving no soar.
By close examination you cannot tell which,
leg was cut. To every horseman I suggest
the use of Hall's Cream Salve for Horses.
