Il seems that Hall has never known how it
feels to be whipped and that he has beaten
every man he has met far inside Of eight
rounds. In England he has finished all his rivals
IN two rounds. Among Halls victims Harry
Mace, Tom Ryan and Herbert Goddard, a
brother Of Joe's, are found. Tom Williams
feels sure that he will add Bob Fitzsimmons to
this list once more. This is certainly a great
record for Fighting Bob" to fight against
Fitzsimmons' record Is, however, good firm
one. and from careful consideration it seems to
me that he ought to be good match for Hail.
He is the possessor OF well-developed ply
sique and his muscles in the best condition.
He had spar with n westerner while on the
road with his theatrical company recently an
exhibited some unusual skill In his defense, even
though not in training.
His greatest victory in the ring was when he
met Jack Dempsey for purse of twelve
thousand dollars and won the die-weight
championship laurels of America. This
match was fought January IA, 1891. 1t
took just thirteen rounds and forty-nine min
utes to victimize poor Dempsey.
Another great victory TOR Fighting Bob
was the result OF his encounter with Peter Ma
her. who came over here with the record Of a
pugilistic prince. This was also for $4,000
purse and was fought on March 2, 1892. 1t was
hard fight in some respects, but Maher was
Slctlmized IN about forty-eight minutes, during
which twelve rounds were fought These two

SKETCH OF THE ARLIseroSs.
The Arlington Wheeimen organized their club
during the latter part of 1883 on Washington's
famous Conduit road. Its policy has been to
encourage road riding. and since July, 1890 q
monthly meeting and supper has proved a
popular social feature. Since its organization
the Conduit road has proved an attractive race
course FOR the club, and the club has scored a
number OF victories upon it, The charter
members were few. but OF the kind that let
nothing break their determination to make "A
thorough success of whatever they undertook
The club has even to the present date seldom
numbered more than thirty-fve members, but
such names rs appeared on Its rolls were those
of members who were always alive and stten-
tive to its interests and general welfare. At
no time SINCE its organization has ii experienced
any financial trouble whatever. In fact, TO the
contrary. its treasurers have always found and
left good surplus in its treasury. This cphb
has developed from among its ranks Washing
tons speediest riders. Its first allotment OF
victories were punched at Frederick Md Oc-
to5er IS, 1890. and made worthy the name OF
victories by the numerous attendance of Balti-
more wheelmen, who outnumbered the Airing
tons on the path fully SIX TO one. Quality
made Its usual point against quantity and re-
suited in the winning OF thirteen out of a pos
Sble fourteen prizes, including a club cup.
The above performance was almost DUPLICATED
some months later by few of its members on
a southern trip. Since that time the Airing.
& tons have sustained few defeats on the track
! and but one on the road, for the latter of which
| they more than redeemed themselves in q team
| race July IL last with tbe Colum5is Cycle Club
| who were responsible for their single road de-
\ feat.
| They already have in contemplation ..
their first effort of the new year the winning OF
the Baltimore Nelrs cup. which will be con-
tested for on May 80 by teams from many
prominent clubs.

side. Williams, no . ever, could not get down
to that weight without impairing his chances,
but In order to arrange a battle he said he
would fight at 1873 pounds providing he was
allowed to weigh in at IL o'clock on the day of
the contest. To this Burge objected. and the
matter ended there. There is q possibility that
they may meet vet. and in this country. How
ever, not very soon.
Williams was born in Australia twenty-four
years ago. He is feet So inches tall and
fights at l40 pounds. He has Il very long reach
His first fight in public WAS with Harry Mace,
whom he whipped in three rounds. He next
faced Harry Sallels and won in three rounds
Billy Maher, known al" shadow on account of his
ieanness, was Williams next opponent. and after
fourteen slashing rounds draw was the result
A Few weeks later the pair met again and fought
an eight-round draw. Williams friends then
arranged fight with Jem Saxton. Saxton was
burly, vicious-looking follow, who had the
reputation Of hitting with sledge-hammer force
and the speed of a cyclone. 1t took Williams
only xix rounds to put his man to Sleep Ben
Seth was Williams next victim. the former sue
cumbing after four minutes of fighting. Jim
Barron was then knocked out by Williams in
one round. The latter fought an eight-round
knocked out Jem Dawson in one round aud q
half. Williams other battles were fought In
private and he has no record Of them.
In Australia Williams ia known a. Hurricane
Tom" because OF the fact that he defeats his
Contestants in SO few rounds. From all appear
ances he is q clever hitter. This is the present
situation OF the coming campaign to be held in
New Orleans early in the spring. 1t is not en-
coursging, but think things will develop sst-
isisctorily a. the time draws near.

A Lady Who Has Fifty in Her Bed Room
and Never Molests Them.
A Pennsylvania woman, Mrs II. E. Rice,
to the bureau of entomology a cocoon contain
ing eggs, which was spun By handsome ar
achnid with striped legs and a reddish body
This creature, which is OF a species that makes
a funnel-shaped web, she describes as being
very tame.
"For months" she says, .'it has lived over my
bed, allowing me to examine it. When it be-
gan to get uneasy placed it in a box, where it
spun beautiful covering for its eggs. am
very partial to spiders and never destroy one
nor its web unless l am compelled TO do so. In
my own room let them have full sway. There
are probably fifty spiders there now and they
never modest me. l find them all over the bed
clothes. | believe the stories of their poison
Gus bites to be largely exaggerated. Where
live We have many large black spiders / found
one Of them curled up under my baby's neck
one morning.
She does not mention how Mr.. Rice enjoys
this sort of thing.
Freuchman, the Rev. P. Camboue, has re-
Gently been making some experiments with the
silk spun by spiders. His efforts were spe-
ciaifv directed TO studying the work of a GER
tain large arachnid OF Madagascar. From one
spider of this species lie obtained in twenty
seven days more than 1000 yards OF silk. The
silk was Of a golden yellow color. However, it
Is not likely that any practicable plan will ever
be discovered for making commercial use of
the silk of spiders, iuasmuch as they cannot be
prevented from gobbling each other up when q
number Of them are kept together.

attractions. The failure Of the Pritchard-
Greggaius match is also a sad losss and it is not
at all likely that anything will come of the Cor
bett-Mitche talk. or at least not until after the
worlds fair is over. Corbett has a contract to
appear as the champion heavyweight of the
world at the fair, and it is not probable he will
take any risks Of losing his prize between now
and then. He will undoubtedly meet Mitchell
after the fair, and possibly before if pushed by
his friends.
The Goddard-Smith match takes place in the
crescent city at the Olympic Club on March 8.
1t will be tough fight, but Goddards chances
will be seen in the first few rounds He is as
all agree, hard hitter and if he gets a show a
few Of his strokes will settle it. But Smith is
claver and may keep out of his reach. The
purse is 5000.
Between now and March a match NAV be
cooked up for Jack McAulffe, who has at present
any number of challenges to consider but SO
far he has said nothing in reply to them with
the exception OF Stanton Abbott, but nothing is
settled vet. Jim Gibbons is anxious to match
his brother Austin with Jack and is making
every effort. He says that if McAuiffe is SO
sollcitous OF meeting Austin at the garden in a
four or six round bout chance is open for
him, which he hopes he will not allow to es-
cape.
fight is also under consideration between
Billy Myer and Austin Gibbons at the Crescent
City Club. Billy Ernst of Brooklyn and Walter
Campbell want to meet again, but whether the
Crescents will take hold of them is n question
Still if they want matches this will give them

maker. called at the Illustrated Neacs Office and
deposited 800 as forfeit on behalf of Campbell
to fight Ernst. Tod will back Campbell against
Ernst for 81, 900 or more side for limited
number ofrounds or to finish, at catch weights
All Lakeland will also wager 81, 900 or more on
the Phiiadeiphan. Tommy Danforth called at
the Police Gazette Office the other day and
stated that he ready to arrange a match to
