mer fought at the Coney Island Athletic
Club. The accompanying drawing gives an
idea Of the construction of the ring.
While posts are used in the makeup Of
the ring, still the apparatus is put together
so that the fighters would not strike a post
if they fought on every inch of the rome
used in the ring proper. In the ring, as
shown In the drawing, there are five meta
posts, made Of 2l2-inch hydraulic pine. In
these posts three holes are drilled. the first
10 inches from the platform and the other
two Is inches apart The posts, of course,
are set at the four corners Of the platform
10 the holes are screwed hooks three inches
in length. Then comes what are called
spices, which consist of pieces of rope II
inches in length. with a thlmbe fitted in
each end. The thimble Is an iron groove
At each corner of the ring one end of a
splice is caught on the hook in the post. and
through the thimble in the other end of the
splice is passed the rope which forms the
ring proper As the splice is II inches long
and the nook three Inches, the distance be-
tween the post and the rope is 20 inches.
In putting up the ring the rope is started
from the corner where the two posts are
placed and passed around through the
spices at each corner terminating at the
starting point by the passage Of the end OF
the rope through thlmb.e which has been
spllced at the other end Of the same rope.
IHt Iope Is lHtu uIdNh from Tie post al
right angles through the floor and tightened
by windlaSs. Each Of the three ropes is
frightened simultaneously. beginning at the
bottom and finishing with the top rope The
use Of a splice 10 fasten the rope gives the
same spring at the corners as at any other
point. and contestant falling against the
corner will not receive injury, the rome not
being rigid, yet firm and strong. A New
Yorker has secured patent on this ne bod
OF constructing a priZe-ring and has refused
$1,000 for bis rights.
The above item will be read with surprise
by san FTanciscans, who will wonder how

THINGS TO BE EXPLAINED.


This bill is only one of the many things
/ found in my sisters trunk. There are
some things that Mr. Cumming will have
hard work TO explain. There ara other
bills and receipts for money that must be

the suicide. with whom, despite his asser-
lions, there is abundant proof he was more
than intimate.
