1t is said to stand on the site of an old
Roman fortress, but no one is perfectly
positive about it except Mr.. Besant, and
he won't tell.
I wish l had more space to describe
the tower in and had an understanding
with this paper whereby Iwould be paid
by the column. I would then give q
word picture here which would save the
reader $500 in travelling expenses and
5000 in maritime nausea.
The building looks as much like a
tower as Tattersalrs livery and sale

more like the Ferty-second Street res

The Tower covers 13 acres, and the

prince of Wales, was also prisoner here,
and in trying to escape from his turret
broke the rope, and the place where he
fell was sight to behold. His son was
killed in battle soon after and his head
put up on the same turret by Edward,
who slew him. 1t was the custom in
those days to put the heads of your enc

But these customs have all been given
up now, and football takes their place.

curious thing about his training is
that he sometimes gains flesh slightly
for day or two while undergoing it.
But he loses it again and more, too,
as long as the system Of exercise is
kept up regularly.
Corbett's four dogs are his almost
constant companions when out Of
doors, and they always accompany him
during his runs on tho beach.
Charley Mitchelrs training party on
Anastasia island has no ladies in it-as
Corbett's has at Mayport. A comely
German woman named Sense, who,
with her husband, cooks for Doc"

female about the premises, with the
English champion and his manager,
Billy Thompson and Jack Fogerty,
Jim Converse, Jim Hall, Steve O'Don-
nell, Harry Darrios, the sprinter, Bat
Masterson, of Denver, and one or two
other men of lesser pugilistic fame,
who assist in the training. The quar-
ters consist Of two cottages and q

carefully curtained. The Giving" cot

the side of hill, the basement
containing the kitchen. ETC., and

the island, and the surf is only about
hundred yards away. This island ia
eighteen miles long and less than q
mile wide at any point, its northern
end being directly east of old Fort Ma
rion. on the upper outskirts of the
ancient city of st. Augustine. 1t is
beautifully wooded, and the shrubbery,
with its beautiful crisp green foliage,
is now at its best. Roses are in bloom
in some of the cottage gardens. and the
water of the Atlantic is so much warm
er than the atmosphere just at present
that the surf bathing is delightful.
The training quarters are only twenty
minutes ride distant from the city, and
Mitchell and his party frequently go
there. The swimming pool in tho
Casino is favorite resort for them,
and they all like to watch the gay
scenes which daily enliven this most
famous winter watering place. Here

NEGRO TRAINING.
An Incident Of Periodical Occurrence in
Old Connecticut.

An Incident Of Periodical Occurrence IN
Old Connecticut.
The negroes of Connecticut were
formerly accustomed to elect a gov.
ernor for themselves. NEGRO elec.
tion," as it was called. generally took
place on the Saturday following the
election day of the whites. Just what
the negro governors duties and priv
ileges were does not appear. At all
events, he was respected as ''guber-
nor" by the negroes throughout the
state. The custom was esta ablished be-
fore the revolutionary war, and was
continued as late as 1920.
Negro trainings were also common.
Mr.. Stiles, in his History of Ancient
Windsor" descibes one that was held
in or near that town at some time af-
ter the revolution. Gen. I'll, a slave
belonging to Capt. Ellsworth. COM
manded on that occasion, and his mas
ter lent him his own uniform and &C.
coutrements, together with his watch,
to the chain of which he attached
several huge seals. Thus arrayed, and
seated upon his masters war-horse,
Gen. I'll was "the observed of all OBJ
servers"
He was early on the ground, and be-
came impatient at the tardiness of the
soldiers from the Sufield district.
Many white people were present to see
the fun, and the general, pulling up
his horse near Esquire Bissell and
other prominent citizens, exclaimed:
wonder why de throops don't come
on from de north?'
The squire, who was somewhat of
wag, asked, with a sympathizing air:
What time is it, general?"
Gen. TT dropped the bride reins,
drew up his watch hand over hand, and
holding it out, exclaimed with scornful
dignity:
Look for yourselves, gemmen!"
The squire knew perfectly well that
the general could not tell the time.
When it came time to form the regi.
ment, there was some difficulty in
arranging i: SO as to present the best
appearance. Most of the men had
some bit Of uniform" but no two
were alike. The general was equal to
the occasion. Rising in his stirrups,
he shouted:
"All you what got white stocca,
rocker shoe, stand in de 'front.'
The order was readily understood,
and the front rank was soon formed of
those who were equipped with shoes
and stockings
Then came another order from the
chief:
"A1 you what got rocker shoe an no
white stocca stan In de rear"
Then, with q self-satisfed afr, he
said:
Now you niggers what got no white
stocca an no rocker shoe, stan out OBJ
do way."-Youth's Companion.

count of the warm weather which
marked the first three weeks of his
residence at Mayport, has been afraid
of getting overtrained and ''stale"-as
the ring professionals term it-which
is only another word for languid or
worn out. Violent physical exercise
is, of course, more apt to lead to this
condition here than in more bracing
winter climate. Mitchell, on Anastasia
island, has not felt any bad effects Of
the warm weather, the temperature
averaging much lower there than at the
mouth of the st. Johns river, and the
ocean breezes being more constant and
invigorating. So the English cham
pion has been in constant training,
while Corbett has not infrequently
taken day off.
Corbett's affairs are managed most
admirably, w. A. Brady looking after
the dollar and cents end of the busi-
ness and William f. Delaney attending
