In an article on Fighting with
Four Fists" in the September num-
Der Of McClure's the author says: II
is hard to make an ~Englishman believe
that a kick, however delivered, is le-
Ultimate fighting. The Frenchman's
point Of view is different. He thinks
that if a man is set upon by two or
three ruffians, the person 30 attacked
should be able to defend himself with
all the limbs he has. The use of the
foot, therefore. has been broughtd down
to a system in France, and 1 was as
tonished to find, on investigation this
subject, that English boxers have
a great admiration for the French
"Savate," and each Of the boxing
schools l visited in Paris l saw several

The Two Minute Mark

The San Francisco Chronicle says:
Whether q horse in harness, trotter or
PAGER, can cover a mile in two minutes
has been q subject OF much argument
and discussion for many years. The
mile time has decreased little by little
always approaching the two minute
mark, but horsemen have known and
still know that the last few seconds
make all the difference in the world.
Last Friday a PAGER called Robert j.,
owned by the Vallejo stock farm in
this State paced a mile at Fort Wayne,
Ind, in two minutes three and three
quarter seconds, the fastest mile time
recorded for a horse in harness. Now
the question is whether that three and
three-quarter seconds "a be knocked
off and the mile covered in an even
two minutes. Why not? Aman does
not have to be very old TO remember
when 2:40 was typical fast time, and
II the time had been reduced from
2:40 to 2 :0324 it ought not to be i'm
possible to dispose of the three and
three-quarters seconds and make it an
even two minutes.

The miners held an enthusiastic
meeting recently and showed their
determination to resist Mr.. Hague's
attempt to cut down the wages in this
county. The Tidings says the whole
scheme has been Matching for some
time. Mr.. Hague has lots Of property
on Rocky Bar Hill and he wants cheap
labor to open it up; for this reason he
has ordered q reduction to take place
at an early date. We are satisfied he
will be baked. We understand thirty
two men have been laid of from
the North Star mine. There are
now so few left that to shut down the
mine would be but little loss, and I'M
less he will pay three dollars per day
we say shut her down. The fight is
not 10 much against cutting the wages
in these two mines, but against es-
tablishing a precedent that will re-
suit disastrously TO all. Let every
miner join the Union and thereby
strengthen that organization, as well
as securing to himself and family a
decent living. There are dozens OF
miners in this city who would be only
too glad TO lease either OF these two
mines on the tribute system and show
the owners that they will pay, but Mr..
Hague would rather close his mines
down than do this. Yet he claims
that the mines are not paying. Well,
perhaps they are not, but that is not
saying that they cannot be made to
pay. Join the Union and ave the
reputation Of Grass Valley as q camp.
