The Corbett- Fitzsimmons contest has
been declared off by the Florida Athletic
Club. No doubt we shall now hear a lot
of talk about the stake money and as to
where the responsibility rests for the fail
ure to pull off, the fight Corbett will
probably say that Fitzsimmons was afraid
to fight and Fitzsimmons will declare that
Corbett never had any intention of fight
ing. but simply wanted a postponement
of the contest in order to get rid of it
without attracting much attention.
The simple truth is apparently, that the
Florida Athletic Club was unable to carry
out its contract. 1t couldn't find a place
where the bruisers could meet that was
easy of access by railroad. The purpose
of the athletic club was to make money.
and it couldn't do that without au-
dience of several thousand people, each
of whom would pay $40 or more to wit
ness the contest.
When Texas closed her gates against
the principals of the contest it was fore
gone conclusion that there would be no
fight. 1t was hardly TO be expected that
Arkansas would permit what Texas had
refused. even if her laws against prize
fighting were defective. The Arkansas
governor would have undertaken to stop
the fight without the support of a law.
The contest could have taken place In
a Mexican state probably, but it didn't
suit the Florida Athletic Club to have
it on Mexican soil Only a compare
lively few people would have gone out
of this country to witness the contest,
and Mexicans could not be relied on to
pay $40 or SIS each to see a fist fight be-
tween a couple. of men comparatively I'M
known to them. They would rather pay
so cents to see a bull fight.
There is some satisfaction in the thought
that there is no place in the United States
where a brutal exhibition like that pro-
posed between Corbett and Fitzsimmons
can be had. The fact that the laws in all
the states are against such exhibitions is
an indication that civilization is advanc-
ing and morals are rising to a higher level.

The FIoridn ornnge Cron.

Florida oranges have made their APP
pearance in this market. They are only
droppngs, however, and are not much like
the fruit yge shall see a month or so hence
Almost any kind of Florida orange is
welcome this year. There will be compar-
atively few boxes, and they will command
high prices. Sales of groves are reported
at $3.50 per box on trees.
Recently the Morning News stated that
no estimate of the crop that could be re-
garded as reliable was obtainable. There
are estimates, of course and 1t may turn
out that some of them are close to the
truth. We notice in the Citizen of Jack
sonville that Maj. Turner, secretary of
the Florida Fruit Exchange, thinks the
crop will be about 100000 boxes. That APP
pears remarkably small when it Is re-
membered that the crop of 1S9S-94 was
600 boxes. A traffic manager of one
of the railway systems of Florida esu-
mates the crop at between 10000 and 10000
boxes. His opportunities for getting cor
rect information of the probable yield
are remarkably good.
About all the oranges the state will
produce this year are in the Manatee
section, on the Gulf coast. In that To-
cality the freeze last winter did compare
lively little damage.
The view which is taken by grove own
ers of the injured groves is very encour-
aging. The growth of new wood on the
damaged trees this year has been extra
ordinary, and it is confidently expected
that within FIVE years the state will be
producing as many oranges as she ever
did. There will be oranges on the in
jured trees within three years. Florida
setback, therefore, will not be a lasting
one. Very soon she will be as prosperous
as at any previous time in her history.
