is The presentdecade OF lighters look just
like anybody else. They dress the same,
act the same, are the same. They are not
brutal in any sense of the word. This kind
of sport may injure those who don't know
how to 60 about tit doubtless does-but
It has yet to be proved that a scientific
sparTcr has been hurt in the ring.
Regarding the remuneration trainers
and seconds receive, the amounts vary.
Corbett pays Delaney big salary, and he
is worth it. BE got about IS, o0c for train
ing Jim for the Mitchell and jackson
mills. Donaldson received nearly 81, 600
for the two fights The others were well
paid, and places have since been made for
them with our theatrical troop, SO they
have every incentive to work for their
chiefs interests. The total training ex-
penses for the Corbett party in the late
contest were approximately SIS, 600 outside
of the sums Delaney and Donaldson were
paid.
1t is true Corbett trains differently from
any other fighter. He uses his own ideas
to great extent, but has only one scheme
in his head throughout, and that is how
to win the coming event. He is easily
trained because he does not drink for one
thing and because he takes an interest in
his work for another. Wemade almost the
sum of the training expenses by giving ex-
hibitions previous to Jan. 25.
The Training Expenses.
Under my management Corbett made
over $3.50, 900 as a star in the year follow
ing Sullivan soverthrow. Despite the hard
times, expect this year will dwarf that
by considerable sum. Fighting without

profitable occupation, notwithstanding the
large purses which have been hung up for
the more important events. / claim today
that Corbett, who is ambitious as an actor,
has asmuch right on the stage as any one
else.
Inever make move in fighting way
that 1 do not consult Corbett, and his
judgment is always excellent. I am of the
opinion that as pugilist James j. Cor
bett, in the condition he was in when he
fought Mitchell, can whip Peter jackson
Monday, Ed Smith Tuesday and Robert
Fitzsimmons Wednesday without any I'M
due 0ffort, and time will demonstrate that
what say is true. When Corbett is de-
feated, it will be by man whom we do not
know of now, and he viii use en- improve
ment over Corbett's methods.
In conclusion, let me say that inside of
the next year believe that boxing will
experience a great revival. 1t is becoming
moro popular every day. The fact that
Corbett and Mitchell drew more money at
Madison Square Garden than all the other
benefits for the poor together proves this
presage. But there must be no repeti-
ton of the Hall Fitzsimmons fight. The
present decline in fistic matters is due
chiefly to that contest

THE NEWPORT.

The two seat traps still hold popularity,
and the ingenious arrangements for con-
verting them into one seat jobs without
having them look clumsy and out of pro-
portion has much TO do with sustaining
the demand for these very convenient and
always smart looking carriages. The
bodies will be suspended higher than for
merly, and what in trade parlance is termed
cut unders will be the favorites, as these are
hung on end or platform springs and are
very convenient TO turn around in city
streets, the front wheels being able to turn
under the body by means of the cut under
wheelhouSe.
In fancy traps the variety in paint and
trimming is almost as great as it is in de-
sign, but the natural wood seems to be less
in favor this year than it was last, when
indeed it was not 1.-THE thing" In some
instances where the expensive woods are
used-as, for instance, mahogany-theya are
still finished il natural colors, but the gen.
eral demand has been for paint finishes in
fancy combinations, some quite startling
effects being produced. do not mean to
say that the effects are at all fashy or out
of taste, for the carriage painter is too well
schooled in art and the tastes of the public
TO mako such a mistake as that, but fin
ish may be startling and still il good taste
simply because it is something new.
The trimmings are in a variety Of colors
10 harmonic, materials being bedford
cords, corduroys, colored feathers and fan
cy imported cloths The absence of much
plated work is noticeable.
The tendency is toward something new
in phaetons and cabriolets. The effort is
TO make the panels deeper and the carriage
moro roomy without giving it the appear
ance of being larger or heavier. The IN
broken sweep Of the side panels that has
characterized this class of work heretofore
has been most agreeably changed and a
much moro graceful effect accomplished by
breaking the long sweep within curves.
The trimming has not been changed
great deal, but some very pretty effects in
the darker blues are SEEN Green is not SO
commonly used, the shades of blue and
maroon having superseded it.
III the painting also there have been some
changes, but these styles admit but
slight digression from the standard colo-s,
and the pretty shades of deep blues and
colors TO match the trimming are tho prin-
cipal changes. G- 7. SMITH

Every one in Boston knows Of old
John the Orangeman, that picturesque
and almost historical parsonage who
presides over the affections of all Har-
ward men. And every one who knows
John knows also that his life's motto is
that familiar phrase which expresses
briefly and to the point the wish that
Yale may be forever RELOCATED to the re-
gion of sorrow and perpetual darkness.
One afternoon strangers were walk
ing through the yard at Harvard, and
on every hand they saw the college seal
bearing this motto, "Christo ct Eccle-

Not being on speaking terms with
Cicero, Caesar and the other Romans,
this did nothing but to arouse their Gu
riosity.
Finally they met John.

IT SEEMS that the wish of the late
Carter Harrison, mayor OF Chicago, has
been partially carried out, although,
unfortunately, he was not present to see
it. Towards the end of the ceremonies
attendant upon the closing of the
Worlds Fair, he expressed the wish
that, rather than see the ruthless demo
lition Of the beautiful buildings of the
White City, he had rather see the torch
applied and the structures go up in a
blaze OF brightness and glory, as fit
ting end OF sight SO magnificent. The
torch has been applied, possibly through
accident but what a magnificent funeral
pyre it made for all that was SO grand
and beautiful.

Two Souls and So Forth.

They were wandering about the dark, de-
serted piazza, arm in arm, talking softly,
as people usually do under such circum-
stances.
They had only known each other two
days, but the days were long at q summer
hotel, and time is short.
This may seem like paradox, but it
isn't.
He was not summer young man, as she
was summer girl, and he was not accus-

Notwithstanding he had been very devoted,
he had been somewhat diffident in the ma

The girl was quick to note this, but he
had not caught on.
He was still permitting II would" to

So it was they strolled up and down,

LIKE JACK TURpIN's TEAM.

The LYnchburg Advance draws a
very apt smile upon the present atti-
tude on the Wilson tariff bill by
likening it to the celebrated Jack
Turpin's team.
1t was Immediately after Lees sur
render. The team consisted OF one
spirited horse and one old army mule.
The driver remarked: "These animals
agree remarkably we'll" "How is that?"
queried Jack. "Your horse is very
quick and your mule is very slow"
That is it,, replied the driver, "tha t
is it exactly. The horse is willing to
pull the whole load, and the mule is
willing let him pull it,"
The South is the horse, and New
England Is the mule. Mr.. Wilson and
those who act with him on the WAYS and
means committee seem to be willing to
let the South pull the whole load, while
New England gets the benefit OF free
trade in what she wants to buy and pro-
tectlve duties on what she has to sell.
IhaG sort of partnership suits New
england exactly, but is the South will
Ing to play horse and pull the whole
load? Verify, fair play is a jewel.
Our contemporary strikes pretty near
the truth in the allusion. 1t remains
for the Southern Representatives and
Senators to say whether they arc to
allow this section of the country, like
the horse, to bear all the burden i'm
posed by this bill or to demand fair play
in the tariff reduction.

1t would be difficult to convince the

pioneer, that fir is stronger wood than
oak, but such has been proved by ac-

purpose. The timbers used were each

in the middle of the span. Yellow fir
stood strain of 8, O62 pounds, common
