BosroN. September 24.-John Nc
Kay. a well-known sport OF this city,
has returned from England, after a
long trip. During his visit he was
among the pugiistic notables, and tells
some interesting stories about the arr
in England. Said he to-day: "Mltcneli,
who claims to be now anxious to hght
Corbett, is weighing 206 pounds, ana II
the match is made he will train down
about 175 or $50, and be as tic as O 1ddle

his feet and as scientific with his hanuS
as tho new champion, and II the TWO
come together, as English people nope
and wish for, it will surely be grand
hattie. There is not the slightest
doubt in anyone's mind over there but
that the Englishman Is in dead earnest
in this challenge. and he will, without
the slightest trouble, find all the back
ing that he needs. The story Of Jack
Baldock having received e2OO 70 call
the Chantily affair between sullivan
and Mitchell draw has again been
aired. and the number of Il told

fight was surprising. There is no de-

tiated time and time again.
Recognized sporting authorities over

lIeved that ever since the fight at Chan

the Stories He Tells.

That reminds me of story"
When we hear this we drop work
and look up with all attentive smile.
The discussion or the conversation pre-
ceding it might have been exceeding
ly tiresome, but at this simple remark
most men prick up their ears to listen.
"That reminds me Of story"
The Hon. II. W. J. Ham Of Georgis
was speaking. The conversation had
turned upon campaign orators who
addressed audiences they had never
addressed before in places they had
never visited before.
"Those crators," said Mr.. Ham OF
Georgia, "don't understand the con-
ditions, and they make fools OF them
selves. That reminds me Of story.

shop in little log cabin in Georgia
He waited week for a patient to
come along. Nobody came. He waited
another week. The sick people con-
tinued going to the other DOCTORS
He waited one week more. He was
getting hungry. At last he saw a
man come flying down the road on a
Georgia mule. The man stopped IN
front of the log cabin and asked. Are
YOU a doctor?' of course answered
the physician. The man got down
from his mule, rolled up his trousers
and held out red, swollen leg. Look
at that he said. The doctor examined
it carefully and then said, "My friend,
