The death of the boxer McCarthy (as the result of his light with Mora'n) is the fourth of its > kind in America within a month, > LANGFOKD AND BURNS. It is now definitely settled, that Burns will meet Langfon!" in 'Frisco next Sep- 1 timber. The first offer of ,£sooo—win, lose, or draw—mado to "Tommy" by aid" Hester, the promoter of tiio mitest, hnd to be withdrawn, because Lang- < ford demanded a winner's and a loser's lend, and refused fo be paid a fixed sum, 2 ! therefore a second arrangement was made c I with Burns, who will now receivo iC4OOO . i if he wins and ,±:2U(JO if he lo*t>\ and his interests aro safeguarded through Hes- 3 tcr posting straightway n Ixmus of rCIOOO, which will bo "Tommy V should the match 3 fall through, and will be his anyway as long' as he adheres Jo his part of ths \ contract, thus making for him the win- 8 ner's end X'sooo and the loser's c C3ll()0. 2 Tho whole ot the purse and guarantees s from all parties to tho covenant are to be posted a month before the date of I tho battle. It never rains but it pours. On Monday Burns received anothercablo- ,] pram from tho well-known popular American promoter, M'Carcy, uttering him (Burns) d'MOO for his end, and a j, quarter interest in the pictures, which- w over way tho bout resulted, if he (Burns) a would meet Langford under M'Cnroy's It tnniingcrnctil. * Burns Jin* already started b light, training, .so that he might get w himself into tho be>t pussiblo shape.— JJ "iieferee."

LANG FOR AMERICA. It has been arranged that Lang, accompanied by his trainer, Harry Nathan, shall leave Sydney by the Yancouvcriiner Mnraroa on Juuc G fox* America, under tliA .QimuutOmciit of llr, IL D. M'latosJi*

Evidently Lang doci not think the referee wronged him in declaring for Burns, else ho would not bo so roiuly to placo himself iu that gentleman's charge, but Lang, personally, is a good, straight follow, who will l>e popular wherever ho goes. The party counts upon reaching 'l?risco at least tiirpe days beyr? date upon which the johnsonJefiries match for the championship of s tho world is listed to take place. No set plans have been thought out for LangMr. M'lntnsli will bo guided by circumstances. Jim Fly tin and others of the third brigade of lighters may bo given consideration first, and such men as Kaufl'nian will follow, provided the Australian makes guod previously.—"Referee." CRICKET.
