epars Prof Robertson for ten rounds daily.
Fielden's flesh is getting firm and hard. He
has two good hands; and it is thought that he
had the brain to follow up his hard hitting ho
would be far more successful than usual. The
trouble with him is that he thinks too much OF
himself. and when he makes clever hit he
turns to see how the audience takes it. One
thing Is sure. he can stand all the beating that
Fieden can give him. He Is said to he work
