From the st. Louis, Mo-, Chronicle. }

As September 26, the date set for the
81, 900 battle between Dan Creedon and Bob
Fitzsimmons, grows nearer its uncertainty
grows greater and the interest of the sport
ing world increases. While Fitzsimmons
will no doubt be hot favorite in the betting
yet the truth Of the matter is, that but very
few have got true line on Creedon. White
the wise men of the ring, who have come in
touch with him, are saying but little out
loud, it is a we'll known fact that Fitzsim-
mons followers are finding in quiet way
all the Creedon money they want.
Personally Fitzsimmons has always be-
lieved that Creedon was easy game. But
then, Creedon has improved almost beyond
belief since he came to this country. The
instruction he received while helping to
train Corbett for the Mitchell fight did him
no end of good, while his method of living
and manner of taking care of himself has
greatly improved his condition.
Some time ago it was reported that Cree
don was victim of muscular rheumatism
and that his days as fighter had past
This has no doubt taken many of the sport
ing fraternity over to the Fitzsimmons side.

Animal Intelligence.

An example Of rare animal intelligence
is related by the French explorer, G. Min
gaud. This noted scientist had caught a
water adder, which he placed In a wire
cage. The snake began at once to try to
effect an escape between the wire bars,
but got no farther than her head and neck,
which protruded through the intersticcs.
At last the reptile, weary of its futile
efforts, lay down ON the bottom of
the cage, and Mingaud observed it go
into apparently useless commissions. But
the snake knew what it wanted. Not
more than a minute had passed before it
gave up Its breakfast Of the morning in
the form Of lizard about four inches
long. A moment later the adder was
again at the bars of the cage, and this
time had no difficulty in crawling through.
