Forfeit Up for Charles Mitchell to Fight Champion Corbett. - RESULTS OF GUTENBERG RACES. foard of Eerie Teals With the Notorious 'Grorer S Case. GESEEAL SPOETING KEWS OF THE DAT Coney Island Athletio Club, Det 8. The large building of the C L A. C was. crowded to-night to see the big battle be tween Joe Goddard and Peter Maher for a purse of 57,500, $1,000 of which went to the loser. A preliminary contest between Mul lins and Sullivan was won by the former, who betted Sullivan in a ten-round go. They were little fellows. Prominent sport ins men from all over the country were present. A conservative estimate of the attendance would be about 8,000. Goddard was the first to appear. He was given a hearty reception and many excla mations of approval were heard as he shed his long ulster. Goddard's reception was nothing compared with the ovation given Peter Maher. The Irish element in the nst audience let itself out with a will Goddard came into the ring with an air of confidence and walked about looking at the floor. Slaber climbed through the ropes, and Goddard walked over to him and shook him by the hand cordially. Slaber TVoii the Toss. The coin was tossed, and when it was seen that the Irish lad had won the lucky corner a great shout of joy arose irom the Maher contingeut. Maher wore green trunks and Goddard white. Peter Maher was attended by Jack McVey. of Philadelphia. Martin Costello, of Buffalo, and Tom Clark, of Coney Island. Joe McGnsth, of Dublin, acted as bottle holder, and Jack Sheehan as timer. Goddard was seconded by Jim Gibbons, of Paterson, Billy Madden and Alex Greg gains. L. Morris officiated as his timer. John P. Eckhardt acted as the club's of ficial referee and Bob Stall held the official time. Everything being ready, time was called and the contestants faced the scratch. Bound one The men sparred cautlonslr, Goddard liavintr a confident air. Each man lield his risht as tlioueh watting to get that member home on hi opponent's jaw. God dard lfd and foicett Manor to his knees, when he toofe ndvantase or the noceasaxr ten seconds. Maher drew flrst blooil. Each man (ought like a wildcat. Maher landed lUrlit nnd loft and was torced to the ropes by Goddard, who was so tired that he conld hardly stand. Maher made a creat rally, but bis blows only i-eemed to make Goddard angry, and he hit right and left, landing at will, taking an vtbing that Maher could give ir he conld only get in his blows. Goddard's Terrific Rashes Told. Maher was wild, hoping aaainst hope to land his right, which he did four or five times, but Goddard only went athimmoie determinedly, and the light looked to be a short one, for Maher was winded and conld not hold his own against his powerful oppo nent. When time was called Maher stag gered to his comer, and it was plainly all day with him. So two 210-pound men ever fought a faster round, for It was give and take trom the stare Bound two Goddard landed with left and rlirht and then the men closed Into hard. In fighting, bitting with right and lett, until Goddard landed a right that sent Maher to the floor. He was up in time, and they were again at It hammer and tongs, smashing each other with right and left until they were both so tired that they could scarcely stand. Br the time thfe round was com pleted neither or them showed the slightest signs ot science. It was purely a case of brnte strength, and the man that could land the most bIoswas bound to win. Both men received terrific punishment. The lighting TTas Terrific. Round three Both men carao up looking dazed from the furious fighting of the pre vious round, but both were determined to end the contest as soon us possible. God dard looked the worst punished man In appearance, as his lace was covered with rore, which flowed in streams down his hi east He went at Maher like a wild beast, and fairly beat his man down by brnte strength. The Irish lad stood up gamely under the shower or blows, but at last was laid low by a straight right on the Jaw and fell face down on tne floor. The excite ment was Intense, tho crowd being fairlv crazd with excitement. The round lasted just 50 seconds. The fight was as fierce as it was short. With only a little preliminary sparring the big fellows set to work in the first round with activity of featherweights and the fierceness of wildcats. Maher slipped to his knees in the first round and remained there fully nine seconds. Both men were badly winded at the end of the ronnd, but it seemed very clear that the Irishman was no match in strength for bis antagonist. Frenzied by the bight of Blood. The fight scene at the end of the first round, when it appeared that Maher might possibly win, was one of the most exciting ever witnessed in the annals of pugilism. For the short time it lasted it was one of the bloodiest and fiercest ever witnessed. Goddard was covered with blood from almost the first blow. He lacked science, but be was much the stronger man, the dif ference of 12 pounds in weight in his favor badlv handicapping Maher. As the brawny gladiators returned to their corners covered with blood the spec tators went into a perfect frenzy of delight The smell of the fresh, warm blood per meated the sir and seemed to rouse their savage instincts to a pitch that was indeed alarming. The second round was a repetition of the first in heavy fighting. The was not a mo ment's cessation in the slugging, science was forgotten, and each man tried to finish the other as quickly as possible. In the the third round the men went at it again at a pace that could not possibly be kept up for anv length of time. They fought like demons. After a terrible exchange of blows for nearly a minute Maher was knocked down and out, alter the most vicious and furious fight ever seen here. TEE AMATEUR B0XEK3.

CASE. Trotting Authorities Deal With the Sensa tional Horse Poisoning Case. New York, Dec s. The Grover S. case was belore the Board of iteview of the National Trottlug Association yesterday.

Naturally he was a favorite, but only at the opening or. the betting, for the field grew stronger and heavier until It overlapncd Grover S.'a price. This raised suspicion and when the lavorito lost tho first neat in 2 !0Ji, Lyman, the driver, was warned. He won the next in 2:17Ji by two lengths and won It easily. This should have made Grover a much wanner favorite, but when the race was re sumed on the next day a new field buyer giving the name of D. came to the front and played the field end so heavily in conjunc tion with a J. D. that they quickly rau the short end up from $13 to Si5. Grover won the third heat In S:l hut eyen then he was not an odds-on favorite as he would have been under ordinary circumstances. Under a thick) cloud of suspicion the hones started for the lourth neat and when just paBt the quarter pole Grover 8. staggered and tell dead. A surgical examination disclosed the fact that G rover's stomach was devoid of food, but filled with a drug, which In the opinion of the veterinailan was the cause of death. Pools were declared off and Captain Shan ley, owner: J. A Lvman, driver, and Bell llol lister, field end buyer, all of Bingham ton, were expelled. Prince of Wales' New Yacht. Lokdos, Dec. 8.
