GESERAL EPOETINS XEWS OF TOE DAT Kew Yokk, Dec: 2L Capt. Williami, of tbe Crescent Athletic Club, states that he lias heard from his club and that they will offer $30,000 lor McAuliffe and Barge to fight for. The battle of pugilistic diplo matists now going on here is beautiful to contemplate. The Coney Island outfit has tiedupBurge to a purse ofler of $20,000, bat ther must fasten McAulifle too, and before 10 P. jl Saturday next Barge goes free by reason of their failure to do so. Meanwhile, the Crescent City Club are hustling to keep McAulifle away from the books of the Coney Island people until after 10 p. si. Saturday. Then both men will be free Barge as well as HcAulifle, and a new shuffle may be made. Incidentally it transpires that for the present, at least, the friendly relations that bare existed between Dick Barge, Eng land's lightweight champion, and George McDonald, his trainer, are Btrained. McDonald will no longer hare anything to do with Burge and the latter, according to a story that has been going the rounds, has discharged McDonald and taken up Jimmy Carroll, who will look out lor the Euglish mau's interests in the future. It is said that McDonald will train Jack McAulifle for his fight with Burge. Thus. McAulifle, trained by a man who knows all Iturge's tactics, inaygain an advantage such as Corbett enjoyed when tiained to meet Sul livan's methods of fighting. McAulifle is reported to have had a streak of luck the other night at iaro, and it is said he won over $1,300. Jack McAulifle was seen this afternoon by a. reporter and explained why he pre lerred to fight Burge in New Orleans ralher than at Coney Island. He said that the cli mate was so much milder than in the North that he could more readily reduce his weicht. He said that he was very fat and that he must train ofl a lot ot flesn in order to be in better fix to defeat Burge. Judge "ewton said this afternoon that he will not pro higher than $30,000 in order to have McAulifle and Burge fight at Coney Island. $45,000 FOR A FIGHT. Kerr York Outbids Xeir Orleans for tlio McAuliffc-Barge MilL XetvToke, Dec. 2L Ono of the largest purses ever offered tor two pugilists since the days of the celebrated fighter Ffcrcwas liung up to-nisht for Jack JIcAuliffe and Dick Burze by Judge Now ton, of the Coney J -land Athletic Club. The sum offered is 145,000. This latest bid completely overtops the $J0,0M purse which Captain Williams, of the Crescent City Athletic Club or Sew Or leans, made for the fighters Wednesday morning. Tlio parse was extended for the two light Keishts acceptance in tbe cafe of the SC Jhmes Hotel to-night. The only persons preent Rt tne conference, were McA.uliu"e, Eddie Stoddard, his trainer. Judge ltichard 'ewton, representing the Coney Island Ath letic Club. Phil Dwyerana Frank Williams of the Crescent City Athletic Club. his work, are very tavorabls Hfs trainer, Jlartin Murphy. sas that McGrath ii a glutton for wort, and that be is the most willing man he ever trainrd. He adds that Plimmer will have to punch harder than he ever did before it he intends to retain the championship. SELLING GOOD TaOTTEEi Very Fair Trices Patd for Some Very Good Youn Steppers.

Fnlford and Elliott will shoot ofl the third of their series or five matches to day at Exposition Park. These two experts, in fact champions, undertake to shoot a series of five matches at 100 live pigeons each, per match, for the championship of the United States. The contest will com mence to-day at 1 o'clock. The pfireonsare furnished by a gentleman who guarantees that better birds neverlef t a trap than those that Elliott and Fulford are to shoot at to day. lesterday aftemooa Mr. Fulford said: "This contest is to me one of glory. I am going to try and beat Elliot to-morrow Just as sure as I'm alive. I think that I can beat him and 1 think that I may beat him in all the five matches. We will contest them all as far as I am concerned. We have good birds. Don't make any mistake on that point. I am ready and I suppose Mr. K'JIott is also ready to kill a teasonablo number of pigeons under limited con-lttlons if the bet is Dig cnongn to prompt our slaying for a day. Depend upon 1c our birds are all right." .Regarding tbe above contest a local sport ing man called at this office last evening and left the following communication: "Will Mr. Elliott or Mr.- Fulford undertake to kill 25 pigeons that 1 will trap for themT I will give them 25 pigeons at 21 yards' rise, and I want either of them to name how many birds either or them can kill out of 25 that are In my estimation good birds. If either Mr. Elliott or Mr. Fullord will say bow many pigeons they can kill out of 25 we will put In the traps, tbe matter will be settled." There is a great deal of local interest in to-day's contest. The birds will be in the traps at 1 o'clock. Plucky ivueelmen. VAircouvEr, B.

General Paine, in nn In terview, says positively that he will not build a boat to defend tbe America's cup. He built the Volnntrer, he says, because no one else seemed likely to come forward. No such emergency exls is to-day, and the cup seems likely to be well defended. He con siders the chances very good for the best races ever sailed for the cup. General Sporting Notes.
