SPARRtNG ENTERTAINMENT.-The sparring
entertainment at Arcana Hall last evening was
largely attended and quite exciting. There
were quite a number of contests in which
several of Portland's leading boxers figured,
among whom were Mccormick and Sculley,
Abbott and Ward, and Hayes and Barry,
The principal contests was that between Lon
Sanborn of this city and Ed. McGlnchy of
New York, who is the champion middle weight
of this country, which proved to bs one-sided
affair, being wholly in the lattel's favor; and
that between George Briggs of this city and
Patsey Sheppard of Boston, which was the
best performance Of the whole evening, and in
which the finest points in sparring were ex-
hibited on the part of both parties. During the
evening there was an Indian club perform ance
by McGlinchy of New York, which was one of
the best of the kind ever given in this city.
On the whole the exhibition was success.

Those who visit cur public schools cannot
fail to notice that there exists in many la
mentable lack of voice culture. Especially is
this true of country schools. In those, no
doubt, it is owing largely to want of time, for
10. most ungraded schools seven grades Of read
ers are used and multiplicity of other text
BOOKS, making number of classes that no
teacher could do justice to in six hours. In
most schools the classes can be reduced in num-
bers if tact is exercised by the teacher. 1t is
much better to hear the reading classes but
once day, and give them thorough instruc-
ton, than it is to hear them twice a day and
give them no drill. Reading is the most i'm
portant branch of school study, for it is the
foundation of every other. To be able to pro-
nounce words huently is but small part of
good reading. The organs of speech in youth
are pliabls and correct articulation can be Sc
cured then much easier than in after years.
Too many teachers overlook this fact and neg
lect Evolutionary drill. Words have power to
move the heart and language is a God given
gift, but culture is needed in order to govern
the voice Alright and to impress others with the
beauty and force of expressed thought. This
subject is worthy Of much atten tion and it
gives US great pleasure to learn that Mrs. Isa-
dore Lord, noted teacher Of elocution from
st. Louis, is now stopping in this city and Civ
ing lessons in voice culture. Her method of
teaching is highly practical and her terms reas-
enable. A fne opportunity is thus offered
school teachers and others of securing instruc-
ton in this most beautiful art
