believe that the Eastern umpire has a far

superior sociability of the western people.
Therefore it is nothing for us to note that

"Women do not succeed as well as men
in sparring. 1t takes them long time 10
learn to control their tempers and to get
over their instinct to scratch and pull hair.
With boxing glove on it is, of course. i'm
possible to do those two things, and yet When
women amateurs are 'scrapping,' and one
gets good blow, she drops her guard and
sticks her fingers in the most approved
feminine style Another funny thing
about them is their vanity about their good
looks Rather than have a red mark on
their face or an abrasion they'll take any
amount of punishment about the body.
That's why they always use a high guard
with the chest and belt exposed to their adj
versary.
THE best ones to learn are the sinewy
and slender, not the thin and scrawny. but
those who have muscles above the average
and very little spare fat to cover them up.
Stout women seldom get ahead. Their arms
are so fat as to be heavy and tire them out
in no time. In one case | knew young
girl who didn't weigh over hundred get
away with another nearly twice as heavy
by just walking around and lodging the
blows. The big one got SO tired in a few
minutes that she could not hold her hands
up, and when that arrived the little one
Just sailed in and downed her in no time.
Women boxers are very numerous in
England, and to have the sex fight with
their fists over there is so common as to ex-
cite no notice. In this country they are
comparatively rare. don't believe that
there are more than 200 women profession
ais in the country. The best of them are
Irish-Americans, the next are English and
the last French l never knew any who
were either German or American"
"What effect has professional boxing
upon their health!"
1.-THE very best. Female boxers are like
female athletes generally. They preserve
their health and strength just as long as they
take care of themselves. Their chief temp
tltion is the bottle. Nearly every one they
meet is a drinker and drinking goes ON in
nearly every place where they perform.
Yet, strangely enough, very few ever do
more than sip little beer. Generally they
go from boxing into acrobatics. as the lat
ter commands larger salaries nowadays
than the former. Nearly oil the best wom-
en- performers in Barnum's and Forepaughs
are quite clever with the gloves and can

81 have had a great many ladv pupils, but
give private lessons to them all, and very
few of them are willing-at least they tell
me SOTO have it known that they box.
They send for me and make me promise not
to tell anything about it. Then they begin
in earnest and surprisingly few of
them give it up They are plucky
and very quick to learn, and almost
all of them seem to be as fond
of the sport as men are. They take their
lessons at home, and generally use a simple
gymnasium dress, with moderately short
skirts, aud blouse waist. | always insist
on their using pad for the breast, as | am
afraid of injnring them by even a slight
blow there, but with proper pad there is
no danger whatever of that Then | use
very soft gloves always, though some few
of the ladies are hardy enough to prefer
tolerably solid glove. Then | warn them
always of the danger of driving hair
pins into their head, and advise them to
plat the hair and use few or no hairpins
OF course, if they wear their hair short, or
are willing to cut it off, that's all the better,
but it really isn't necessary.
Il think very few women learn boxing
with any real notion of relying on it, as
men do, for means of offense or defense,
though it is of course possible thing that
q woman might have to defend herself
sometimes, and boxing is a good thing to
merely, and crafty, in learning it, an am
bition that seems to De getting more COM
mon daily among women, to be able to do
anything that men do"
There are many good boxers among won-
en-, especially among actresses. They rely
a great deal on physical training TO fit
themselves for the stage. Miss May Wilkes
is capital boxer, and would make a for
midable customer in a row, since she is
tremendously powerful. Miss Clara Dun
was very clever at the sport, and Miss May
Stetson is exceedingly handy with her
shapely fist. She is one who delights in all
athletic sports. Mrs Langtry, too, is a first
rate boxer, and Fred Gebhard told with
great glee this summer how she knocked
him off his pins while he was sparripg with
her one morning at Long Branch. He
dropped his guard for an instant while he
was chatting her, and as quick as a flash

and editors it is very beneficial, while for

be overestimated. Its utility as far as
women are concerned varies with the IN

and eyes with blood, tending to make an
ugly complexion and to destroy the Iuster
