LONDON, March lS.-The Associated
Press has received communication which
officially sets at rest the claim that the
National Sporting club has offered a purse
for f1ght between Corbett and Fitzsim-
mons. The fact of such claim was first
brought to public attention here by the
news cabled from the United States that
Corbett had signed the articles of agree
ment for a contest before the National
Sporting club.
When it was first denied that any offer
had been made for such contest, and the
report of the denial was cabled to the
Associated Press, the claim of authority
for arranging such contest was reiterated
by the representatives;o we'll known sport
ing papers here and in the United States.
The following communication speaks for
itself:
"National Sporting Club, Covent Garden,
March IS, 1896.
ITO the Associated Press:
''With reference to Corbett- Fitzsimmons,
beg to state never offered purse nor
authorized any pers n to do 50, for coll
test between the above boxers.
''If the time should come when the men
are matched, and unconditional apologies
are rendered, this club will be prepared to
make an offer, but not until then. All
other statements contrary to this are abso-
lutely false.

tercourse of its members, and to help
forward every movement for the ad-
Vancement and enlightenment of wo-

These clubs have their own buildings,

REST

To spend the long warm DAYS
Silent beside the silent-stealing streams.
To see, not gaze.
To hear. not listen, thoughts exchanged
for dreams;
See clouds that slowly pass
Trailing their shadows DER the far faint
dawn,
And ripening grass,
While yet the meadows wear their starry
crown;
To hear the breezes sigh,
Cool in the silver leaves like falling rain,
Pause and go by.
Tired wanderers DER the solitary plain;
See far from all alright,
Shy river creatures play hour after hour.
And night by night
Low in the west the white moons folding
flower.
Thus lost to HUMAN things,
To blend at last with Nature and to hear
What songs she sings
Low to herself when there is no one near.

A DREAM

Oh, 1t was but a dream had
While the musician played
And here the sky, and here the glad
Old ocean kissed the glade;
And here the laughing ripples ran.
And here the roses grew
That threw kiss to every man
That voyaged with the crew.
Our silken sails in lazy folds
Dropped in the breathless breeze
AS o'er a field of marigolds
Our eyes swan DER the seas:
While here the eddes lisped and purled
Around the islands rim,
And up from out the underworld
We saw the mermen swim.
And 1t was dawn and middle day -se
And midnight-for the moon y
On silver counds across the bay
Had climbed the skies of June
And here the glowing, glorious king
OF day ruled DER the realm,
With stars of midnight glittering
About this diadem.
gw
The sea-gull reeled on languid wing
In circles round the mast:
We heard the songs the sirens sing
AS we went sailing past.
And up and down the golden sands
A thousand fairy throngs
Flung at us from their flashing hands
The echoes of their songs.
