Fell among Mind Readers.

A day or two ego, few minutes before
the opening of the Board OF Trade, there
stepped into one of the elevators In the
building well-known commission man and
country customer. The country man was
g young, fresh-faced, unsophistlcated-look-
ing chap, who was In Chicago for the fret
time looking after couple of cars of wheat
that he bad shipped In. AS the elevator
rose, be casually remarked to the commits
sion man ~ was married last night, and
this Is sort of bridal trip" Congrstula-
tlons were extended by the commission man
as they stepped out into the hall leading to
the Exchange.
Amorg the others who ,ode up In the ele-
vator was a certain bloade young man
whose love for practical joke has made
him rather famous on the foor. He had
ohaoced to stand behind the young ooun-
trymsn, bad overheard the confidential
admission made By him to his friend, and as
they stepped from the elevator he man
aged to get good look at Mr. Youngbue-
band
Az hour CT so later, when ne had few
moments to himself, he stepped over to the
Telegraph counter and wrote upon blank:

calling messenger boy, pointed out Mr.,
Younghusbsnd end bsde him deliver the
message.
He told few OF his cronles on the floor
what he had done, and the young country
man was watched with considerable inter-
est By dozen or twenty traders In various
parts of the crowd. He received the meE-
sage from the boy with half doubling look,
opened 1t slowly, and as he oomprehended
Its contents his face was dyed deep orim-
son, while foolish smile lifted the corners
of bis mouth He looked about him sheep
ishly to see if be could discover the author
OF the message and then beat rather pre-
cipiious retreat. He failed to put In an ar-

way with Jackson, IL viii take a good
man 70 get ia an effective body blow on
him. That isn't the way il which he
will DC knocked out--if he meets with
that catastrophe. The way 20 knock
him ont Is = hit him in the head.
As for Corbett. il takes an exception
ally good man 70 bit him anywhere. He
is as quick as a fash in getting out OF
the way as well as in putting in blow.
He has that certainty of Judgment
which tells him just how far away his
opponent IS. In striking an effective
blow il is the elasticity of the muscle
which counts most. Ii gives the quick
est blows, and speed tells. Shoot bull
lct out of a gun and it kills a man;
throw the same bullet, and il may
bruise him q little, perhaps, but no
more. It is the same with blow. In
this matter Of speed | think Corbect
has the advantage over Jackson. l be-
lieve that he viii win the fight and the
heavyweight championship.
The best man whom the winner Of
that fight will have to face is Slavin
Qeaving Sullivan out) now heavy
weight champion of England and Aus
tralia. He is a man of remarkable
physique, and surprising fighter. Sur
prising is good word for it, SO far as l
can learn. According to all accounts
his style of fighting is very unusual.
That was what Joe McAuliffe thought
about it. In conversation with him
and with Billy Madden, I learned
some facts about the fight in
which McAuliffe was beaten. Both
Madden and McAuliffe said that Slavin
hit harder than any man they had ever
seen. was looking at fine picture
of Slavin, the other day, and could see
where this power comes from. The
muscles of his arms are smooth and
round, and apparently possessed of that
fexibility which is SO important. He
has a particularly heavy, strong fore
arm, and that is a good place to look for
power. With such an arm, he should
be able to drive his powerful fist
through wall. And his style, as |
have said, is peculiar. He comes out at
n man in unusual ways, at unexpected
moments, and with surprising force.

any thing about what had happened till

he remains In the ring, and he is likely
10 resign the honors before they are

He was too big a man for Dempsey.
The Brooklyn boy had not only height
and reach against him, but he had
weight. IL is true that when they
entered the ring there was only differ
ence OF about three pounds; but Fitz-
simmons was one hundred and fifty
pound man at one hundred and fifty,
and Dempsey was one hundred and
forty-two-pornd man at one hundred
and forty-seven. Jack was no stronger
for the extra five pounds, while every
ounce on the Australian counted.
Going outside OF this country, there
does not appear to be any middle
weight in Australia likely to improve
enough in the next few years TO make
a winning fight against the champion.
Pritchard. the English champion of
that class. Is good man from all ac-
counts, bu. do not think that he is
built TO stand against Fitzsimmons-
lie hasn't the height or the reach. No;
the middle-weight honors, TO the best
of my view, will remain where they are
for some years 70 come.
Who Is the coming heavyweight?
There's an interesting question. At
present we have no champion. Sullivan
has retired from tho ring. A champion
must always be ready to defend his
belt. lie must come into the ring with

lenge properly given and supported. II
he dos not do SO. the challenger be-
cones champion by default do not
think that anybody is in the position to
claim this honor from sullivan at

20 glove contest. and sullivan ignored
the offer. but that. in my opinion. did
not give McAulfffe any grounds for
claim To championship honors-
jackson challenged sullivan just after
the Mississippi affair. but the conditions
Of the case were such as TO prevent the
championship from passing by default
John T. couldn't accept. IL he Rad. he
