ing Contest With Peter Jaokson-Hs is Mod

Training-Advics 10 Men Who Do Not In
tend to Bscoms Pugilists.


New YORK, April, 2l.-I hold that
there are three qualities that go TO
make the man; namely the head, the
hand, and the heart. All these quail
ties are capable OF cultivation. Some
men are born more brainy than others.
Some are more inclined TO good, or
rather less inclined to 10 evil, which is
about the same thing, and still others
inherit strong and actives bodies. No
matter how good the natural attributes,
we know they can be improved by culti-
walton.
am aware that il is the custom Of
some people, anxious TO pose as mora
lists, to assert that all physical con-
tests, in which there is any element OF
danger, are brutal and degrading. OF
course, do not believe this, nor does
any man who has given the subject
careful thought. The first essential to
the success OF an individual, or the
growth of a nation, is physical health
and energy, and l know nothing so well
calculated TO increase a mans strength
and activity, as the training he must
undergo in order to qualify himself for
q contest in the ring. AS 10 the danger
and brutality of 4 light glove contest,
permit me 20 say il is not nearly so great
as that seen in the football field, where
the foremost young gentlemen in the
land spill each others blood, knoch out
each others eyes, and diSlacate each
others limbs, for the edifcation and
delight OF swarms of American beauties
who wear the college Colors Of the con-
teStants
For over two hundred years prize
fighting has been the recognized Eng
lish sport, and / must confess that in
the past, and the near past too, it had
brutal and disgusting features, but the
same might be said of bull-fghting,
dOg-fghting, aud even Of fox-huntlng
and hare cOarSing, which still continue;
