The llalloWell Granite Works. with
its characteristic enterprise. has re
Gently placed in position an immense
lathe for the purpose of turning out
cylindrical pieces of granite such as
pillars. columns, etc. 1t principle is
much the same as an ordinary iron
lathe. The rough piece Of granite is
placed in the lathe and is made to re-
NolNe rapidly while wheel shaped steel
tools are run back and forth on either
side of the stone ut such an angle that
the irregular surface of the granite is
worn off and soon becomes as smooth
as under ordinary hammerng If the
column is to be polished it is done by
the usual method while revolving in
the lathe. A piece of granite 20 feet
long and feet in diameter can be
worked in the machine.

CORBETT AND SHARKEY WILL MEET,

conclusion. People who believe that they
should be recognized as leaders in pugl-
listic events are beginning to form other
athletic clubs, or to bolster up clubs that
have died out, hoping either to force the
authorities to recognize them, or else pre-
vent Corbett's appearance.
Aside from that, there are two very bit
ter clans which Will not understand why
Corbett did not give their respective
mpions-Choynskian and Joe McAuliffe-
chance to meet him.
If these elements do not interfere with
the granting of the license by the Mayor
for the four-round go, Jim Corbett believes
it will come off
The meeting has been the talk of the
sport-loving people of the City for three
days, Corbett being regarded mainly as
making "bad break" in accepting any
proposition from man so far in the pugi-
listic fog as Sharkey. There is nothing
but the few dollars for him to win and he
is taking chances of losing a reputation,
which is worth fortune to him, by some
accidental blow. Sharkey is regarded
quite properly as man who can take q
great deal of punishment, and to knock
him out or even best him so as to have
that result apparent to the referee, Corbett
must necessarily injure his hands, which
would prove many points against him in
any other and more important engage
ment.
81 don't care for that" Corbett said yes
terday. 81 want to meet Sharkey who is
considered a hard man, so that l may
show my friends l am all right. [ don't
know whether | will be able to knock him
out, but do feel will give him such an
amount of punishment that will be de-
clared the winner.
1.-The fight may last but single round.
[ can't tell how he'll act. If he wants to
protect himself and not try to get at me
I'll never be able to get him out. If he
fights and tries to get me out that's differ
ent.
I'm on pleasure trip here and 1 do
not propose to go into severe training for
the purpose OF permitting Sharkey to
stand up before me for four rounds or less"
His trainer will be the we'll known Billy
Delaney, and he will be assisted by George
Green, better known as young Corbett." :"
He will train at the Olympic Club, and get
down to work there to-day.
Sharkey the sailor lad, will go into ac-
tive training to-day at the Acme Athletic
Club in Oakland. His training will also
be. confined chiefly to handball. If he gets
tired of the game, there is plenty of muscle
and wind producing apparatus in the big
gymnasium of the club for him to play
with. He has been exercising moderately
there every day since he met Williams at
the Pavilion the other night and carried
off $500 sack. Tom Sharkey's trainer
will be Danny Needham.
