THE MARQUIS OF QUEENSBURY.
He Tells How He Came to Write His Well
Known Prize-Ring Rules.

Interview in New York Mail and Express
What is the true history of your famous
prize ring rulesW
WELL John Chambers and / wrote them
while was attending school at Cambridge
When there held for two years the lightweight
championship in the ring The amateur cups at
the annual sparring matches were prizes that
many boxers sought We then had no definite
rules of boxing. Chambers and were delegated
to draft a set of rules We did so, and l after
ward revised them. Hitherto it was difficult to
decide, when two men fought, which got the
better in scientific points The rules were writ
ten to cover not only scientific points, but any
questions that might arise to which was the
best boxer. Well, / rather think the rules were
sufficient for all ring purposes. My
father was a good boxer I think prize
fighting rather brutal exhibition. OF
course am fond OF all manly sports but my
time is not given up to them. In England the
prize ring has almost been given up. Sports of
that kind have been on the decline for some
time there. The reason do not attend many
boxing matches is because l find it difficult to
keep myself from joining In and knocking some
one out. All the pleasure of the exhibition is
lost by my wishing to be participator instead
of spectator.
America has much to be proud of in fine box

his sledge-hammer blows. He makes a rush at
his opponent and beats down his barriers of de-

back while he is thus exposed, giving his terrific
blows and at times leaving himself unguarded no
doubt the tide would change. Reverse the
method of fight now, and attack Sullivan for all
that can be gained. The onslaught which he
has never been used to asto2ishes him, and puts
him in attitude of defense, something he

HAMAKUA ITEMS.

A valuable horse and two pack
mules loaded with pal al were washed
away on last Friday between here
and Kukuihaele. The lumber is on
the ground for the last two months
to fix this bridge, and two days
work would repair it, but still it can
not be done. However, the state
of the roads and loss of life and
property do not appear to inter-
fere in any way with the collection
of taxes. 1t takes one collector and
five clerks to collect the taxes this
year in Hamakua.
The Hamakua police have been
ordered by their chief to put away
their star and baton for the present,
and go into the highways and hedges,
and collect kukui nuts, and eacl
man is to present himself with bag

LATE FOREIGN NEWS,

The barkentine Eureka, which left
San Francisco on the 9th inst, ar
rived yesterday, bringing days
later news than last steamer.
Servia had rejected the terms of
peace offered by Bulgaria, and it
was expected the war would be
resumed forthwith. Austria was
likely to come to the help of Scrvia,
in which case Russia would have to
back Bulgaria.
Lord Duffcrin will have put mat
tiers in Burmah into q finally de-

the land seems to have relapsed into
peace, for the time, under this rule.
A terrible storm occurred on the
Panama coast, off Aspinwall, Dec.
9TH and previous night. The rail
way at the latter place was damaged,
while telegraph communication was
interrupted. At Colon fearful
havoc occurred among the shipping.
OF twenty-niue vessels anchored
there only fifteen were to be seen
after the storm. Many were sunk
with their crews. The docks of the
Royal Mail and the Pacific Mail
Companies, and others, were badly
injured. The newly-built office of
the Royal Mail Company was dis
lodged from its foundation.
At latest accounts the English
election returns showed 313 Liberals
elected to 243 Tories and 20 Parnel-
lites, making tie between Liberals
and the others combined. Careful
estimates predict final results as 331
Liberals, 225 Conservatives and 81
Parnellites, or majority for the
Liberals of p in full House.
