SO Boy Jim went down to the George
at Crawley under the charge of Jim Bel
cher and his uncle to train for his great
fight with crab Wilson, of Gloucester whlle
every club and bar parlor of London rang
with the account of how he had appeared
at q supper of Corinthians and beaten the
formidable Joe Berks in four rounds. Jim
had told me that he would make his name
known and his words had come true SOON
er than he could have expected It, for go
where one might one heard OF nothing but
the match between Sir Lothian Hume and
Sir Charles TrcGeIlis, and the points OF the
two probable combatants. The betting was
still strongly in favor of Wilson, for he had
a number of by-battles 10 set against
this single victory Of Jim's. and It was
thought by connoisseurs who had seen him
spar. that the singular defensive tactics
which had given him his nickname would
prove very puzzl.ng to a raw antagonist.
In height strength and reputation Tor
gamencss there was very little to choose
between them. but Wilson had been the
most severely tested.
1t was but few days before the battle
that my fatehr made his promised visit 10
London. The seaman had no love for
cities, and was happier when wandering
over the downs. turning his glass upon
every topsail which showed above the he
rizon, than in finding his way among the
crowded streets. where, as he complained,
IL was impossible TO keep "A course by the
