blades that the great power emanates
which so suddenly has won him the
fame and title he now possesses.
1t doesn't matter how clever pugilist
Corbett may be or how much more
superior he is as a boxer, he would
never stand up for more than one blow
from the fist Of the new champion And
still there a multitude Of people who
say that every fight that the Australian
blacksmith has won in this country was
won by q chance blow. If these doubt

long and rather slender arm with a big,
hard bony fist at its end.
When that arm and fist are swung

veloped muscular strength behind it,
the object on which 1t lands is almost
as sure to go down and become sense

Far bigger men than Fit2simmons
have hit Sullivan in fights during his
palmy days, but he was seldom knocked
down and never actually knocked
senseless. Corbett hammered at him
for over twenty rounds when he was
in physical condition totally unfit to
fight, but he didn't beat him down with
any such neatncss and dispatch as Fit2-
simmons did Maher, younger, strong
er and better trained fighter than Sulll-
van was during his battle.
When jim Hall fought Fit2simmons
at New Orleans, a few years ago, he was
considered, and, in fact, was pro.

of sufficient force to have relled an OK.
Nearly ten minutes elapsed after Hall
received this terrible swinging blow
before he recovered his senses. and for

feared that ne might have been fatally

testimony of very good witness for
the defense, who swore that no one
came into the yard on the day on which
the offense was committed. She was

she had killed dog for culinary pur-
poses, and had fixed the gate so no one
could enter the yard and interfere with
her dressing the carcass of the animal.
An inquiry as TO the result of such
interference brought out the statement
that she was taking the hair of the

hear them the hair would not have
come off. AS it was, she experienced no
