JOHNSON V. FLYNN.
Next Thursday (July 4) Jack Johnson, the coloured pugilist, will meet Flyuu (the Pueblo fireman) at Las Vegas, in Mexico, and decide who is to be the champion pugilist ot the world. It is just two years ago siuce the Reno farce, when the negro beat J. J. Jefferies so easily, and Johnson is as optimistic over the result of uext TUursday’s contest as he was two years ago, for he says, “ I am too good for any other man in the world. After July 4 I will meet the.rest, white, black or blue hopes at the rale oi oue per week ...... I could put Plazer,
McCarthy, Kaulman, Flynn and Langford in Che ring and whip the bunch without exerting myself.” Johnson has always made a great “blow” before a contest, but then he has never yet failed to make his “ blow ” good when he entered the ring.
