The Medal Contest.

The medal contest was held in the
old College Hall last Monday night.
The audience was not large but ap-
preciative. There were seven con-
testants who did themselves credit by
their splendid rendition of their re-
spective declamations. The medal
was awarded by Rev. D. w. Dumond,
of California to Miss Matte Watson,
who received her honors with defer
ence and grace. The exercises were
interspersed with appropriate music,
both vocal and instrumental.

With the death OF Bowen, the prize
fighter, from a knockout blow OF
Lavigne's fist in New Orleans Friday
night. there comes an end OF prize
fighting in this country. 1t will no
longer be tolerated anywhere. The
science of pugilism has been developed
to the point of discovering that blow
upon the apex of the chin is more
nearly fatal than any other. There
FIRE prize fighters practice it assiduous-
ly. Fitzsimmons killed Riordan in
this way few weeks ago, and now
Lavigne has has killed Bowen. As a
consequence the Dempsey-Ryan match
has been called off in Difference to pub
lie sentiment, and there sis only the
remotest probability that Corbett and
Fitzsimmons will ever meet. Hence
the chances are that Corbett will en-
JOY the distinction of being the last of
the champions. No governor will now
be induced. in view of the recent
tragedies of the ring, to allow prize
fight within his state. The argument
that pugilism is not so dangerous Jas
football no longer holds good. The
pugilists have become to skillful in
knockout smashes that carry death
with them. The brutality of the sport
has, accordingly, been emphasized
rather than mitigated, and the demand
for its suppression finds additional
justification. Commercial Appeal,
