p%ortant. With two men who are sure TO
draw 80 great a crowd, the question OF time
and place of meeting will doubtless be set
tied rather han that the fight should be
given up. 1t looks n little as il New
great favorite in New Orleans and in San
Francisco. and Parson Davis knows
it. 1t seems a. it he didn't want Hall to
fight in either place. Naturally he wants
every reasonable chance in his favor. There
is a Rood deal in the referee, and while a
man may be perfectly fair. he cannot be
wholly superior to his preferences. The
California Athletic clubs preference was
for jackson in the Corbett.Jackson fight,
and the result was a draw. though ! have
since become convinced that Corbett had
his man whipped. Eltzsimmons could not
refuse New York for instance, as \ meeting
place, in case a good monetary offer should
be made. 10 pick Il winner of that fight
would be guess work for anybody now.
The fight between McAulife and Myers
decides the lightweight cha mpionship of
McAuliffe is much the better boxer. He is
wonderfully clever. Myers is a man of
phenomenal endur ance. He is always in
good condltlon-always we'll and ready to
take Off his coat aud fight any day. He
never drinks a drop and never smokes Il
cigar, and he avoids all excuses. He can
stand it to get down to the weight better
thar McAuliffe can. McAuliffe is a brill
liant fighter; Myers ID never snowy. He
will walt forever for a chance. The crowd
may howl ut him, but they can't incite him
to lead if he doesn't think his chances of
winning will be bettered by it. McAuliffe,
on the other hand, will respond to the
crowd sometimes, making brilliant rallies.
AZ l have said, Myers il not as clever al
McAulitfe. and he never could be, and il
the present champion is beaten it will be
BY his opponents superior endurance. II
Myers loses it will probably be because
McAulife cuts the pace too fast for him

doing.
The D~ixon~Johnson fight is the only one
that brings into the ring a champion of the

QUEEN VICTORIA'S DOGS.

Some Interesting Particulars Gained by u
Visit to tho Kennels.
Her majesty. as is we'll known, ia fond of
dogs, and 6. B. Krehl, in a supplement to
the Stockkssper, gives some interesting
KENNEL at Windsor, respecting the royal
amin pets. It Coca without saving that
tho animals receive every attention and are
admirably housed; Their sleeping apart
ments are carefully ventilated and hot
water pipes run through the length Of the
building.
In the kennel are dogs of nearly every
breed. For collies the queen has always
shown a preference, and this accounts for
the number kept at Windsor. The Princess
Beatrics's fancy" lies in the direction of
fox terriers, which are also we'll repre-
sented. We are glad to note, by the way.
that the fox terriers in the ROYAL kennels
are not docked. 1t would be Il good thing
if the royal example in this respect were
generally followed. How anyone can i'm
agine that initiating a dog adds to its
beauty we fail to understand.
Some of the royal tox terriers are cer-
taiuly game enough. One of them-Jock
by name-which. when u store WIS i~ecently
cleared out. had n chance of distinguishing
himself, killed twenty-five rats in a quarter
of an hour. Her ma iesty. it should be said,
frequently luBpeCGB tno kennelS, lnUulfl0I
into everything affecting tho health and
comfort of the inmates. and giving ench
animal n caressing pat and kindly word of
recognition"
When the royal dogs die they are laid to
rest "henenth the turf where they gamhoied
rs puppies and were exercised when they
grew up. Each little grave is marked by u
stone tablet about 81 foot long and eight
inches across, whereon a few words arc en-
praved, giving the namo and date of
DEATH" Among the inscriptions on the
tombstoneS of the dogs are the following:
'Mau ice. favorite Mount st. Bernard Of
X. Il. H., the prince %cousort, died Novem-
Der. 1864" A little further away lies
"Princie, Scotch terrier. Brought from
Bslmoral June Ii. 1860. Died Feb 6. 1874"

The two were still standing there before
the disabled airship. stunned by their de-
sertion. Royal ran to the pole set up out
side the ship. tore off the glorious United
States emblem-the flag of libetty-nnd
hurried back. The sergeant kissed the
piece of silk with the only dramatic action
of which he had ever been guilty. But
this was II dramatic moment. and he was a
soldier. He rolled the stars and stripes up
reverently. and put them under his immense
fur garment.

see flve contests in preparation, each one In
volving a champion. 1t might be said, per
haps, that the Corbett-Sullivan match did
not, strictly speaking, include a champion,
because of tho statements which have been
attributed to Sullivan to the effect that he
had retired from the ring, but the great
public refuse to regard Sullivan as a retired
champion. Their belief that he was still in
the ring was not shaken 10y the interviews
printed and attributed to him previous to
the Corbett-Jsckson match. wherein he ad-
mittod, or was said to have admitted, that
the two men were to fight for the champion
ship, that Slavin could fight the winner,
and that, perhaps, he himself would then
give tho best man a chance.
The Slavin-J ackson fight includes the
championship of Australia. There has
been some disputes AZ to whether it is Sla'
vim or jackson. but tho champion il GER
tainly there anyway. The Melbourne
Sportsman regards jackson as champion
and the Sydney Referee holds Slavin to be
entitled to that honor. ! am inclined to
think that Slavin is champion. He has
beaten Farnsworth, who has beaten Jack
SOL. Slavin was in Australia whom Jack.
son was in America. At that time in the
land of the kangaroo Slsvin was meeting
all corners and beating everybody. In or
der to be champion jackson should have
returned and challenged the man who waf
making such a record, or rather have &C.
copied a challenge from him. However.
they are matched now, and if the fight
comes to q decisive issue the question will
be settled.
Slnvin is really champion of England,
though they hesitate to recognize him over
there. They really have no heavyweight
who con go against him. But the English
toned fight to a finish with bare knuoklss
in tho ring. That isnonsense now. Cham
pisnships are decided with the gloves, and
one must be up with the times. You will
get a thousand men 10 Il glove fight for a
hundred that you can get to a fist fight.
The day of tho bare knuckle battle has
gone by and l am glad of it.
Winners can fight for the championship Of
the world, and n man is champion of the
world till that time. When Kilrain and
Sullivan fought it was not for the cham
pionship of tho world. because Kilrain had
no better than a draw ont of Smith. who
was still regarded as champion of England.
while Slavin was champion of Australia.
a finish, will leave one of the men cham
pion of America. The Sl~avin-Jackson
fight will leave the winner champion Of
England and Australia.
The Slavin-Jackson fight is close at hand
and is exciting deep interest. think Sla-
vim will win. My reasons are these: At
close range Slavin is the better man, but
still not 80 hard a hitter. At long range
jackson is the clever man, but still not 50
hard a hitter. In seeing Jackson box it
Slavin'S muscles are more supple and elias

THE DEPARTURE
"WELVE HOURS HAD PASSED
-\IZ since the intrepid Ave had been hurled
eXSto the earth. This 10 speaking meta

haps. with thousands Of feet of glacier, and

At last, after six different calculations,
the result was announced. 1t was awaited
in the same mood in which Esquimsux
dogs paw for their daily meal of empty tin
pans and dried fish. The o q men de-
youred the tutors face as he spoke. His
answer was an epoch in the existence OF
these five aaventursrs; it was an era in the
exploration of the world.
Hurry up! Have it out! How far from
