A FlRttering Testimonial.

A very eminent London surgeon, one of
the lights of the profession, one day OBJ

runaway horse. He went to his aid and
found he had broken his leg. 1t was only
a simple fracture, but the man was badly
hurt.
The surgeon used his umbrella as a
splint and with his own hands borrowed
handkerchiefs, bandaged the limb tightly,
put the patient in cab and drove to the
nearest hospital. There they wero received

THE RING

One of the liveliest fights that has
been seen for some time took place at
Redondo Beach last week between
Young Fitzsimmons of Chicago and
Charles Goldsmith, boxing Instructor of
the Pasadena Crown City club. Gold
smith proved the better man, but he had
a hard fight, for FHzsimmons is rusher
of the j. l.. Sullivan type, and he kept
Goldie jumping pretty lively. Goldsmith
finally closed Fitz's eyes and then
knocked him out with a right hand
cross counter. The fight lasted five
rounds. F'itz says he would like to get
another chance at Goldsmith, claiming
he was not in condition.

to have in tow an embryo worlds cham
