BOTH FIT TO FIGHT.

Fitzsimmons and Sharkey are in Good Con
dition-Sunday WAS Doctors Day.
San Francisco, November 30.-Yes-
terday was Doctors Day at the quar-
tiers of FitzsimmOns and Sharkey. The
same physician waited upon both men
and he was there as the representative
of the National Athletic Club. His OBJ
ject was to tap the chest and tap the
lungs and satisfy himself that the men
were in sound enough condition gener-
ally to bear the brunt of hard contest
as it is popularity believed Wednesday
nights event will prove to be.
In addition to being doctors day it
was visitors day. The camps of the
rival heavy weights were fairly over
run with people from town. AS Sausa-
Ito is not within as easy reach as the
cliff. Fitzsimmons did not have such
good crowds as did the sailor man, but
the Cornish man received adulation
to satisfy the most pompous pugilist.
As for Sharkey, whenever he showed
himself on the veranda of the Seal Rock
House, the roadway in front immedi
ately became congested. At times
there were thousands staring at him.
FitZsimmOns' normal chest measure
ment was 80 inches. Under forced ex-
halation it is 3724 inches and under
forced inspiration it measures A
inches. The only defect in Fitzsim-
mons was slight attack of cold in the
head, which will quickly wear off.
Sharkey's normal chest measurement
proved to be II inches. With forced
exhalation it was 392I inches, and with
forced inspiration A inches.

The work of the Brotherhood for the

the most active and effective factors
Of the st. Luke's church, and has done
much to add to its usefulness. 1t is
the Oldest chapter in the city, being or
ganized in 1889 by the present rector,
Rev Jacob Birmingham. The chapter
at St Matthew's church was formed
two years later. Next Sunday several
new members of the St Luke's chap

presence of the congregation.
The ST. Andrews Brotherhood was
started in the Episcopal church at the
convention at Chicago in 1888. Since
then it has grown and assumed remark
able proportions and importance in the
church. At the recent National Broth
arhOod convention held at PittsbuTg.
there were 500 delegates present rep
resenting as many societies. The next
convention will be held in Buffalo in
