The punching balr' of today differs
very materially from the fighting bag"
which was used In the days OF Tom Hyer.
Yankee Sullivan. Heenan and Sayers, and
even In Joe Coburu's time. The bag then
used was huge affair. nearly as tall as
a man. and twice as bulky. 1t was filled
with cotton, oats and such like heavy
yielding material until Il weighed about
what its users intended opponent was
supposed to scale. II was suspended by a
rope, from the ceiling in a room 50 that
its center of gravity was a little above it's
users shoulders. Naturally. in responding
10 blows, pushes or shoyes II swung slowly
and ponderously. The man who fought il,
not only punched it with all his power
but co.lided against it with his shoulders
and body. This method of exercise was
IN a measure similar TO the iostling and

puncher, after drying himself. will rub
himself with witch hazel and alcohol and

land gymnasium, named Prof. Rumsey,
who is credited with being Mark Hanna's
teacher of sparring. This bag or ball was
merely rubber ball, about foot in di-
ameter enclosed in canvas covering and
suspended from the ceiling by cord. The
bottom of the ball, which was hung on a
level with its users shoulders, was fasten-
ed to the floor by a rubber strap which was
just loose enough to permit the ball TO fly
back about foot when sharply hit and
cause il to quickly rebound. This ball was
a great Improvement on its predecessor,
for it's use made a man much quicker in
his movements. Its great defect was the
fact that 1t had 10 be driven away direct
" in line with its puncher's position or It
would revolve in circle and have TO be
stopped TO be steadied.
The present form OF punching ball Is
In it's general construction, somewhat
akin TO the football employed BY our
colleglans in their games. only ordinary
leather is used for the covering instead
OF pig skin. The ball is usually sus-
pended from a ceiling but where the or
binary ceiling Is too high. a wooden disk
about six or eight feet IN diameter is used
instead. This disk is mainly what makes
the ball so useful. Ordinarily II is sus-
pended from the regular ceiling by strong
iron rods, so that 1t forms pseudo-eeil-
Ing about eight or nine feet above the
floor. The cord suspending the ball can
be raised or lowered. so that the center OF
the ball can be brought. as the puncher
may desire. TO the level of either his chin
or shoulders. Generally the cord Is at
tached 10 the ball by a metal swivel
which permits K TO revolve longitudinally

OF the programme. but Il must be under
stood that the Date there given. August

rived here yesterday from Japan on her
way TO Seattle. This Is the maiden
steamer OF the line recently established
between Seattle and Yokohama TO be
operated In conjunction with the Great
Northern railroad Three additional
steamers will be placed on the line"
From this IL seems probable that the
Mike Will be az Port Townsend some time
today. and that she will arrive IN Seattle
tomorrow. IL she does. the ceremonies
Will take place tomorrow. If she Is de-
tained so az not 10 arrive here until Sun
day the ceremonies will take place on that
day. Some hesitation was felt by the ex-
ecutIve committee at first as 10 the pro-
priety OF holding the celebration on Sun
day. bat after full discussion yesterday II
was decided that IL the steamer came In
on that day she would be welcomed by
carrying cut the fun programme. Some
members OF the committee showed that
Sunday would be a particularly advan-
tageous day. since a larger number OF
vessels will be In port on that day than on
