GENERAL SPORTIXG NEWS OP THE DAI There has never been in Pittsburg a more interesting, exciting and successful athletic entertainment than that of last evening at the East End Gymnasium. The building was packed with ladies and gentlemen, and the fact that every event was a contest kept the enthusiasm at a high pitch from start to finish. Of course, the boxing was the leading cve.it. that i, the majority of the audience were there to see what our amateur boxers were like. It is not ungenerous to sav that, although the boxing contestants made one of the liveliest encounters seen here for a long time, they have very much to learn in the way of the "noble art of self defense." Hut thev certainly caused the wildest ex citement among the spectators and it may be an incentive (or the local athletic clubs to try and develop a few good boxers. Dc'allsofthe Contests. Prof. Kirchner was referee for the jump Inc and rope climbing contests and the sporting editor of this paper, Al Cratty and Mr. Brener, of Beaver, were judges lor the wrestling and boxing. The proceedings commenced with the fencing contest and it was at times' ex tremely exciting. J. P. Kersler won it, but he had to perform his best to get the gold mcdaL He is quite a polished fencer' nnd won the prize on his merits. W. Mvler pressed him hard as their respective final scores were 10 and 8. H. C Fry did not do badlr as he had seven points to his credit. IJ. Scoville, althongh out of form, did toler ably well. If. C Fry won the rope climbing contest, making the climb in C 4-5 seconds being 7 seconds quicker than the slowest time. The running high jump was hotly contested, K. V. Paul, of" the East End Gvmnasium win ning. It wa3 a light argument between himself, Charles S. Miller and J. B. McICennan. The winner clearpd 5 feet 5 5nche and the other two contestants named could only reach 5 feet 4 ibches. Then came the wrestling for 120-ponnd men ,T. P. Kimmel, of the East End Gymnasium was the winner. He downed H. Collins, of Shadyside Academy, in the first bout and defeated M. Reilly two falls in succession in the final and won the medal. Young Keillv wrestled well con sidering his youth -and he may blossom into a very good light-weight. The heavy-weight boxing followed and the only contestants were Nick Fillenger of the East End Gymnasium, and J. "Welsh, of the same. They boxed three rounds, Queens berry rnles. The first round was very tame and Fillenger took a slight lead, mostly by hi leading. The second round was better, although the boxing was bad on both sides. In this round Fillenger took a decided lead, "Welsh doing nothing except when in close quarters. Quite a Lively Round. The third ronnd was one of the liveliest ever teen here. AVelsh commenced with the idea of "doing or dying," and the round us one ol the hammer and tongs kind frcm. start to finish. Probably one was as good as the other, but Fillenger's lead in the two previous rounds kept him in front. Both men contended until they could hardly stand, and the -houts of the audience were tremendous. Fillenger's blows were having the most effect, nnd Welsh began to look a sorry sight as the end of the round approached. Both men were so weak that they could hardly swing their arms. AVelsh got hold of Fillenger and pushed him toward the edge of the stage with the deliberate inten tion of pushing him over. Some of the audience cfic to the rescue, and what might have been a serious affair was pre vented. Under any circumstances this would have lost Welsh the contest, and he ought to have known bett jr. The medal was awarded to Fillenger by the judges without hesitation. Breadine Speer, of the High School, won the pole vaulting, clearing 8 feet 6 inches. C. F. Closf, East End Gymnasium, being second. The running broad jump was won by .1. R McICennan, who cleared 18 feet 9 inches. It was midnight before the suc cessful entertainment ended.

BIGGEST SHOOT ON RECORD. Fifty-Two Entries t the Pittsburg Gun Club Match at Exposition f ark Tester day Nam hers Turned Away Only One of the Scheduled Events Finished. The shoot ot the Pittsburg Gun Club at Exposition Paik yesterday was a surprise as to numbers. It was the largest shoot over held in Pennsylvania, and one of the largest ever held in the United States. New York parties who were present were aston ished beyond measui e at the Interest taken in shooting in this section. Three matches were scheduled, but owing to tho large num ber of entries for tho ten live birds event, the others, a 15-bird and a 5-bird, were post poned to an indefinite date. There w ere 52 entries lor the shoot yester day and 15 applicants were turned away. The fee as $6. The shooting -was brisk and the 500 spectators wlio braved the snow storm cheered liberally. The affair was managed lor the gun club by Jim Crow and Elmer Shaner. Two such veterans were a guarantee of fair play and there was not a Jar the whole day. Visitors from the Duquesne Kennel Club's little entertainment on I'epn avenue were numerous, ana tne manageis are very grateful to Messrs. Crow and Shaner for holding the shoot at this time. Among the notables from the dog show were George R'iper, of England; John Davidson, Major Taylor ana John Nnylor. of Chicago. A feature or tho dav was the work of the native setter "Pick,' belonging to Messr. Crow and Shaner. He retrieved over 500 birds without faltering. "Pick" has but one eve, but "he gets there just the same." A couplo of other setters tried a band at tho retrieving, but be snatched the birds from their mouths when they were fortunate enough to beat him to where tho birds fell, and carried them in tiinmpbantly. Jim Crow acted as referee. Messrs. Scoff, Hanlau and Levis divided first money, $60. taking $20 each.

THE NEW Y0EK DOG SHOW Is the Only One in A merlca Which Eclipses The Pittsburs Exhibition. Yesterday, although it was a very disa gieeable day. was a big one at the dog show. In the afternoon between 4,000 and 5,000 peo ple pressed and pushed each other in their desire to look at the canines. The crowd was composed chiefly of men and children yesterday, although there was a fair sprinkling of tho fair sex. Green was the order of the day and from nearly every body's coat or bat a green ribbon or a sham lticklenl flaunted. Prof. J. H. Bui ton's trained dogs covered thenelves with glory. Their performance was much better than the day before. The high leaping called forth deaieniug applause. l'here Is Just one show in America," said Secretary Little, "better than the Pittsburg exhibition nnd that is New York. Last year we had 442 cxbibltsthls season 547. Or this number 125 of tte dogs are the property of local fanciers, while'tlie balance come from every city in the Union. The people all peem to be of one opinion and that is it could not be a better show. ' "The attendance has exceeded all other yrnrs, the average daily attendance being 10 000 people Another thing which places this exhibit so far in the lead or others is that the dogs that did not leceive prizes last jrear were kept away and nothing but the winners are on exhibition."

New York, March 17. The opinion or cer tain individuals seemed to be that if Sullivan failed to train, through over confidence, the Californian might surprise the public Ono man said: "It's all in the training. If Sullivan is poorly bandied, nnd Corbett's in terests are looked out for by an experienced man, I shall bet on the latter." , About the most confident man In Corbett's success is W. A. Brady, the manager who, when asked where Corbett would train for the battle, replied: "I am trying to have Jim get into form somewheie between Long Branch and Asbury Park, probably at Deal Beach. There is no place in the world like the Jersey coast. The air is bracing and there are plenty of amusements there to keep one's mind off the battle. Cotbett wants to have some exoitement while train ing, as he does not believe In thinking or brooding too much. He wants to train in California, but I don't think be will. "Will Muldoon train my mant Well, he will help to if we can make terms with him. I've only Just received a telegram from him congratulating Jim In getting a match with Sullivan and saying that he will be here in a lew days to talk business. Corbett's train ing will be managed by Billy Delanev, who handled him in his fight with Jackson. He thinks the world of Jim. and thinks he'll havo no trouble in winning. Corbett will weigh 192 pounds when he enters the ring, and he has already begun light work on the quiet. His real training will begin about June 10. "Do I think Corbett will win! Well, now, I am not saying much except that Corbett will be ready on September 7 to fight lor his life. Sullivan better not think too lightly or the Californian, for he mightmako a mistake in his man." ANOTHER CRICKET CLUB.

OSBOURN'S PRIVATE GRIEVANCE Alleged to Be the Cause of His Interest in the Institution. NEWSY NOTES FE0M NEAEBT TOWNS rUPECTAL TELZOBAJC TO THE DISPATCH. 1 Habbisbuko, March 17. The attention of Governor Pattison has not yet been offi cially directed to the barbarities alleged to be practiced upon inmates of the Hunting don Reformatory. Senator Osbourn, of Philadelphia, has interested himself in be half of the boys who had been returned from the Reformatory to Moyamensing prison on the ground of incorrigibility, and has secured their release. One of the boys liyes in his district, and he says he proposes to insist upon an investigation of the crnel treatment they received. Governor Pattison said to-night that he had no official knowledge of any cruelties being practiced at the reformatory." No complaints had been made to him, and, so far as the State authorities know, the man agement of the institution is of the very best He said he had no doubt that if any complaints are made they will be inquired into, and if any abases exist they will be corrected. Friends of the reformatory claim that Senator Osbourn has a grievance against the management of the institution for their re fusal some time ago to discharge a boy in whom he was interested. Previous to the last session ot the Legislature he made ap plication to the officials of the reformatory for the lad's discharge. The officials refused to release him, claiming his conduct did not merit his, freedom. Senator Osbourn, at the last Legislature,then introduced a bill changing the manner of releasing inmates of the in stitution. It passed both Houses, but was vetoedby the Governor. It is.nowsaid that this trouble with the management ot the institution, and the subsequent veto of his bill, has led to his present interest in behalf of the Philadelphia lads. Colonel "W. W. Jennings, of this city, is a member of the Board of Managers of the reformatory, but declines to discuss the 'charges made against it, feeling as'he does that the management of the institution can well bear any investigation that may be made.
