the part of the referee, foul blows al
the like.
In this connection it will serve I
tighten the labors of the herasse
query editor, for the bet makers of til
future will be more apt TO explore tn
2 depths of the pickel-in- the-slOt mach1n
for a ruling than trust to the int

No dOu bt, too. when the apparatus
accurately gauged and the reeling OF
of n pictorial round occupies eXactl
the same space of time as the rOun
itself, the pr Zed invention VIII prove
terror to desie ming time keepers.
All arguments then as TO whether
PROSTATE bruis err was counted out be
fore the limit or was allowed an extra
second or two to get on his feet Will b'
settled in short order.
All that will be necessary Will be to
drop a nick ell. watch for the knock
down. press the catch of your chrome
meter aud wait for results. If the
kaleidoscope says the fellow was dOwI

case may be, the individual who ''helC

ALSO FILLS THE POCKETS.
| The Corbett Fitzsimmons kinetos-
cope has blossomed out as a mischief
maker early ia it's career, making it
appear that Fitz smashed Corbett while
the latter was on his knees. Fitzsim-
mons is inclined to argue that the
photographic device has been getting
its facts mixed, but Billy Brady points
dra matically to the pictures and invites
the general public to act as jury in the
premises.
There is no doubt that the public
will respond right nobly, and in this
respect it will be an ill-wind, or a foul
blow. that blows nobody good. for
Brady and Fitzsimmons are share hold-
ers in the picture concern and they
can draw their dispute out to an in
terminable length and make barrel
of money out of il. Possibly they
thought of all this.
But troubles of another kind menace
the kineto cope proprietors, and in
this particular case the profits are
more likely to be decreased than
fattened. There is fake ''masheen"
in the field.
STUART IS RUDELY AWAKENED
The idea of having a cOup terfeit PEE
sentiment of the great Carson battle is
not as thoroughly original as would ap-
pear at first blush. This because it is
well known that for years past profe=-
photograph manufacturers with all
kinds of voice products, from the raw
ings of John Mccullough to the Bow
cry songs of Maggie Cline. And if ears
are to be deceived why not eyes:
Dan Stuart has been rudely awaken
ed in his dreams OF prospective wealth
by the appearance of the fake machine
in San Francisco. Now ne is buslly
engaged in trying to convince the pub
lie hot IL "a with
cess, for the thing is playing to stand
ing room only
The public had waited for months
for the pictures, and was not to be de-
MED the privilege of seeing them when
the show was announced. 1t is stated
at the success in Frisco has led
others to initiate the fake, and that it
may soon be reproduced in this city.
SOLAR PLEXUS PUNCH SHOWN.
The method of countsrfeiting the
battle of the champions is simple
enough when it is explained Some
eastern schemers made a
pIgilists until two men
beacing reasonable resemblance to
and Corbett were found. |
The rest was comparatively easy.
One of the iDpersOnatOrs was fitted |
out with bald wig" the other with q |
pompadour, and their faces We're made !
up SO as to give them as near the ap-
pearance Of'the originals as possible. f!
Ring costumes tailylng with those |
worn by the rival heavyweights on St. !
Patrick s day were supplied The mimic
champions and they We're extensively
rehearsed on all the prominent features !
of the fight.
When the make-believe Fitzimmous
had perfected himself in the solar
plexus punch and the bogus Corbett
had schooled himself in the gradual
fall and the look of agony until you
couldn't tell them from the real thing,
the takers went through their life-like
imitation before scope of some kind
and the pictures were secured.
