night than there is in an intercollegiate
game of football. But the participants in
the one and The spectators have to rush off

denounced by shallow newspapers and
serve Tor stands on which a cheap official
can climb 10 notOriety, while in the other
case the biggest city in the nation well
comes the glaulators, and the spectators,
drawn from all sorts and conditions of men
and women, 60 gayly out TO the scene in
tallyhos and drags to the music of horns
and such fendish wells as are never heard
at the ringside. Why this discrimination
All the serious Injuries sustained in the
ring during the .ast half century do not
equal the record of slaughter on the foot
ball field IN one season. There is less bet
ting on all the glove fights that are held in
an average year than there is on the an
nual 1ale-Haryard game. There will be
less law-breaking by the crowds which at
tends the Corbett- Mitchell fight than there
has been by educated young gentlemen any
Thanksgiving night in New York City for
ten years past. The fact of the matter is a
good ring fight with gloves by masters of
the art is spectacle to make mems blood
flow high; to stimulate every manly emo
ton. There is in it nothing brutalizing.
From start to finish it is manly con-
test for supremacy with fair play always
observed. The condition Of the men makes
their hurts trivial. Bloodshed is the ex-
CeplioDs not the rule. IL IS contest OF
skill and muscular endurance, not a test
of ability to stand pain. The principals
are on the streets in their usual conditions
within a few hours of the finish. They
emerge from the contest with less weari-
ness and only few ore scars than are
suffered by the peaceful citizen of Chicago
who tries 10 ride home on a North or
West side cable-car at p. NJ. AS for
the spectators, they have seen fair and
manly trial of skill, with much fewer
revolving and bruta lizing incidents than
commonly attach to Bernhardt's perform
ance of La Tosca,' or Salvini's murderous
'Othello.' This is an age of cheap senti-
nentalism and flabby humbug. Pulpiteers,
with the muscle of the tongue developed,
to the neglect of the biceps, preach again st
the symmetrical development of the bodily
temple in which God has housed the soul.
1t has become brutal TO know how to use
the weapons with which nature provides
every man. So we let our muscles wither
and carry revolvers aud dirks instead. II
one-half of the energy spent in circum-
venting the plans of boxers were devoted
by officers Of the law TO Furnishing people
who settle every petty quarrel with the
handy knife or gun this would be a more
manly and safer country"

will be the Jackson Corbett contest for

THE ROD.
Prospects for Next Years Trout
Fishing.

Stream fishing should be good next sum-
mer II the future is to be judged by the
present. The heavy raiDstorm has cleaned
out dams ana other distractions in rivers
that for years have prevented hundreds OF
fishes from reaching their spawning beds
which lie at Or near the headwalers. The
washing away of the Paper Mill dam
will materially aid in making that pretty
stream the anglers favorite resort.
from latest reports it is learned that
hundreds of steel-heads have work ed their
passage up as high as the waterfall at
Liberty's, who're The spear is said 60 be

walls. The Sonoma Creek should prove a

BOXING.

The great international battle between
Corbett and Mitchell is over and the Amer

Neither man was badly published, and
Notwithstanding that fact people will saw
that scientific contest between clever box

mitted.
Football, no matter how rough, is con-
sidered the acme of health giving pastimes.
and although dozens OF players are Grip
pied yearly there is no objection to speak
OF to its continuance.
Prize-fghting, such as the battles that
have been fought on the turf under Lon
don rules, is unquestionably brutal and de-
moraliZing and should not be permitted in
aDv country.
Queensberry rules should not be con-
founded, however, with the old rules of
fighting. yet there are thousands of people
living who do not know the difference be-
tween the two systems, aud these are tie
people who set up hue and cry again st
boxing as it is conducted at present.

Washington not only has among its won

some remarkable characters, sab. There is,
for instance. Colonel Patrick Henry Winston,

scheolboy declaimer.
When Winston began praeticing law, after
graduating at North Carolina college aud
some bOdy'S law office. he settled in Lynchburg,
va. His first was the defense of a
negro who was charged with grand larceny.
winston said of that case: II conducted ii,

must be sacrificed, and some mode of
stocking cheaper than by two-year-olds
resorted TO. If there are many small,
gravelly streams suitable for young fry
from alevluage to six months old, and
clear water in abundance, their ova sown
in redds is undoubtedly the best method
if their are small streams feeding the
water to be stocked, but not sufficiently
clear to insure the success of ova sown in
redds, then three-m thS-0ld fry are 10 be
recommended; but our experience is that
there is no halfway house between ova
sown in redds and three-month-old fry.
Younger fry are too risky; they NAV
DO, but only where ova would do
as well, and at half the cost" 1t may
be well to say in this connection that
"redds are not unlike spawning
beds. artificiaIly prepared, in which
the eyed Ova. at the point of Matching, is
planted. The circular continues: Year
lings are, par excellence, the size for gen.
eral purposes. They are strong enough to
find their own food, thus avoiding the
principal cause Of mortality among fry
namely, starvation they are easily carried
and stand the journey well; they accom-
mOdaie themselves with the greatest
facility to new water. and they thrive so
fast in ponds that they will be found a
very profitable investment"
These are excellent reasons why year
lings should be used for planting, and I
have faith that it will not be very long

ing of fry the moment The umbilical sac

L see that fish are cheaper in England
than in the United States. Native English
trout, fario, cost as yearlings, delivered at
the railway station, $50, and two-year-
olds cost S125 Der 1000 each. In this coun-
