After all the preliminaries for the
big fight are arranged and there is
plain sailing. Stuart will go after
Peter Maher and Tom Sharkey. In
the east they want Peter to ''go up
against Sharkey and it is the consensus
of opinion that the Dublin lad will
make short work OF the sailor Stuart
lately said to representatives:
DO l think Maher and Sharkey would
prove drawing.c es, but shall let
nothing interfere with the champion
ship contest. Two years ago last June
l started in to get Corbett and Fitzsim-
mons together and pull off a champion
ship contest. 1t is fixed now and will
surely take place-unless death inter
venes. When everything is shaped
up for the big fellows then 1 don't
mind seeing what can be done to bring
the lesser lights together.''

rialize. 1t would be well for the boys
to get together and decide the matter
as soon as possible. The weather is
now good and if precedents go for any
thing it will remain so for couple of
weeks, and in that time a game can be
arranged and played. Later on the
weather will be bad and then the
March Winds will set in, so that if the
game is delayed now it will be a long
time before it can be played. The
Heavy Weights can get up a good team
if they try, SO let them go ahead and do
so.

front when an old woman came up tho aisle.

threw her arms around his neck, exhorting him
to be saved.

MIR. GRATEBAR TO PHILIP.
Some Further Discourse on the Subject OF
Opportunities.


"In proportion as communities become moro
settled and populo.s, Philip" said Mr.. Crate
bar. tho great opportunities that exist In them
fly higher and higher and become more and
more dinicult to capture. For this reason men
often seek new fields, where the shooting Is
easier; but In this, Philip, as in everything else
ono must exercise judgment. He must nnd
a field In which game actually does exist. and
one that Ia likely to produce such opportunities
rs he 10 able 10 turn TO account. No snow
shoveller, for example, should locate In tho
tropics. Nor could tho best boat builder that
ever lived reasonably expect to succeed In a
desert. even though II were hundreds OF miles In
extent and he had u monopoly OF the business.
What | am endeavoring to point out TO you.
Philip, is that not all new fields are sure TO
Yield = profit; as a matter OF fact. many are
quite barron. \ man must find the right place;
and the di%scernment that would enable him
to do this would almost certainly qualify him to
stay right here and nght with the GIANTS.
And that IL Just what | should advise you to
do. Philip. Here Is where the big game Is to he
found. But, as | have before IN gu distance re-
marked, you must he prepared to meet IL.
Don't fool away your timo waiting Mt "A bear
