must try to get on his feet before the bell
rang. The second smash on his law did not
cause him any pain, but left Thin empty
headed. He said that he crawled onto his
feet mechanically without knowing what he
WAS doing. After the third blow he did not
regain his senses until Maher had been de-
clared champion of the world and had left
the ring. These few words from O. Donnell
are an immense tribute to the hitting powers
of Maher. Around Corbett's withdrawal
there is a halo Of diplomacy and shrewdness
of which the outside public knows nothing.
In retiring he killed two birds with one stone
and built nice fence around his own ability
to regain the championship. To make
this clear 1t is necessary to 60 back little.
GOT RID OF o'DoNNELL.
When Corbett was training for the Fitz-
simmons fight Steve O. Donnell, his sparing
partner, began to get the big head. He
really thought that he was better man than
Corlett, and in the practice bouts used to
60 At the Californian with needless force.
sHewanted to make monkey of Corbett in
private work in the hope that the news of
his poweress would get into the papers.
Corbett sized up his design, and at the first
opportunity in the practice work went at
O'Donnell in earnest and smashed his nose
fiat on his face. After that they did not
box together, and Corbett had Brady ar
range the match between Maher and O'Don-
nell.
The corbetties claim that Jim knew
would dispose of him in a punch. and that
he - he k,L 4
of O'Donnell.
and i: may be true, but more probably it is a
rank piece of injustice to O'Donnell, who is
quiet, honest fellow, utterly incapable of
intrigue.
FITzsIMEONs MUST FIGHT TWO.
The other thing which Corbett accom-
plished by the O'Donnell- Maher match is
that he has placed on the championship ped
istai man who may be the cause of Fitz-
simmons's downfall. Fitzsimmons must
whip Maher. Then if Sorbett is so inclined
he can re-enter the ring and fgh, Fitzsim-
mons. If Maher by an accidental blow
should whip Fitzsimmons Corbett can chal-
lenge Maher and regain the championship at
small cost. Maher is really Corbett's buff
fer against Fitzsimmons. The latter must
really whip two men, Maher and Corbett, to
gam permanent hold on the championship,
whereas, if the Hot Springs fight had gone
through, the Australian had the first chance
at the title.
Maher is playing right into Corbett's
hands by announcing that Fitzsimmons has
the first claim on him for fight. Big Jim
Kennedy, who arranged the O'Donnell-
Maher fight, is already at work trying to
bring Fitz and Maher together at Marpelh.

says Peter will fight Ftz for $780, 900 side,
or 1000 side if Fitz cannot get larger
sum together. Fitz is about broke financially
but he should have no difficulty in raising
$1,000. Maher is sincere in his efforts Il

Scenes at a Georgia Barbeeue.

The word dish is used in a metaphor
ical sense. The Barbecue gets its name
from the method of cooking the meats
which form its principal substance, says
Han er's Weekly. 1t is pagan feast.
Its home Is In the woods. BY some clear
running brook, and when found upon its
native heath such modern c0nyeniences as
knives and forks, tables and chairs, are
not known. One OF the exposition spots
which the Northerners are sure 10 seek out
Is the shed near the manufacturers and
liberal arts building, over which this same
sheriff Of Wilkes presides, and where, at
all hours of the day. the good cheer which
is so closely connected with his name is
dispensed. The shed is rather a rough
place, for the BARBECUE with the modern
cor veniences and the delicacies of Del
MonicO's would rose its flavor. The china
wale Is old, irOnstone variety, known prin-
cipally for its thickness. You get knives
and forks, 1t is true, and paper napkins,
but the table at which you eat Is innocen
of linen, You order q dinner. There is
brought before you a half dozen kinds of
meats, steaming hot, the aroma of which
is most pleasing to the appetite, ii you
have one to start on; and ii you have none
1t is sure to create one for you. Then
there is mysterious dish which the sheriff
calls stew, and pickles and bread and but
ter and cup of not too good coffee is
furnished ION the side" The stew is q
connection of many vegetables, and, for
some reason not altogether clear even to
its maker, bears the mysterious l anne of
Brunswick. 1t Is necessary In adjunct Of
the dinner, and when it is made sufficiently
hot by sufficient quantity of p0ngAnt red
peppers, 1t is indeed rare appetizer.
The roasting pit Is filed with live Goals
at daybreak. BY seven o'clock the ground
Is hot through for several feet; then more
Goals are put on and the carcasses are
pierced through with clean hickory poles
and laid across the pit. Their cook ing
refutes the old phrase that watched pot
never bOils. because the meats are carefully
tended during the entire time; for to make
them crisp and tender without burning
they must be turned every Is or 20 min
utes. z., ss
All sorts Of game are roasted over the
pit-partridges, wild turkeys. ducks, spur
rels and rabbits; and now that the winter
season has come, the darkies have pos
sum supper for themselves every Saturday
night. They stand greedily around and
watch the roasting of the animal, which Is
sweeter to them than any other that lives,
In the ashes they roast their sweet pota-
toes, and when 1t is all done they sit jab-
ber,na amid their crude surroundings, the

The funeral Of Austin Carter, much
respected citizen and life long resident
took place at Belfast, and o. q mark Of

were at halt mast during the day. Mr..
Carter was once q member Of the shin

The proportion of American girls Is small
for the reason that they do not make good
dancers. They have the grace, the beauty
and the ability to learn, but lack OF early
education In the art Ia the great drawback.
Few American girls take mp ballet dancing
until they aresseighteen. or twenty years Of
age, and then Il Is zoo late according to
the high standard set by the Italian and
French masters. The bones have become
set and are incapable of the supple action
of the foreign dancers.
The finest dancers are turned out ct
Milan, where the pupils Of La Scala are
obliged to make their debut at the age Of
sixteen and finish their apprenticeship
ct the famous opera house. The pupils
are recruited annually from the couserva-
the age Of eight or nine. Thu system

point. Maher is Justly entitled to his claim.
Corbett had retired from the ring and had
officially announced the fact. The two
heavy weights next in order were Steve
O'Donnell and Peter Maher. These two
men met, and in triae over = minute Of
terrific smuggling Maher put O'Donnell to
sleep. Had Fitzsimmons been the opponent
of O'Donnell in that fight and had knocked
the latter out no one would have questioned
the claim Of Fitzsimomns to the champion
ship.
Is AN AWFUL HITTER.
Now Fitzsimmons must meet and best
Maher before he can claim the title. That
Fitzsimmons can do this is little doubt.
Maher belongs to the Sullivan school Of
fighters, and against an adept Of the new
school like Fitzsimmons he stands little
chance Of winning. Maher is capable ct
