How the Big PuSilixt Put Himself In
Condition.

Pugilist Corbett is at Shaw's Springs
three miles from Carson, New. He has a
small army of trainers and attendants with
him and has taken possession of several
buildings. In addition to the living house
he has fitted UP gymnasium and built a
hand ball court. Everything that can con-
tribute TO his comfort assist him in his
training has been provided. He is more
bountifully supplied with trainers than his
antagonist. Billy Delaney has general su-
pervision of the training quarters: then
come Charles White, who formerly trained
Fitzsimmons and knows every trick of the
lanky New Zealander; Billy Woods of
pneumatic fame. Cal McVey, Corbetts s

The Parson Davies Special Breaks the
Record.

DENVER, Col, March 16.-Reports at
Denver and Rio Grande headquarters to-
day show that the road had carried eight
special cars westward filled with excur-
sionists heading for the prize fight. The
Parson Davies special made remarkable
run across the state, leaving Pueblo at rs
am. and arriving att Grand Junction at
1875 pm. The parson and his party were
handled in the same lively style by the Rio
Grande Western as to place them in Ogden
in time to so on the regular Southern Pa
cific train. The special made phenomenal
run through the Grand Canon, the distance
of ten miles between the rocky barriers be-
ing covered in eleven minutes. This is said
to be about the best time ever made

ring in few years. Joe Corbett is getting

son with the Baltimore club. He will not
report with the Orioles until after the fight.
White, while he stands daily gruaing
at the hands of Corbett, devotes most of his
time to instructing the pugilisAin the Fitz-
simmons tactics.
Delaney is the general all-around man.
Corbett. who is a hard man to train, pays
more attention to Delaney thas all of the
others put together. He ss>s unlimited
confidence in his ability and knowledge of
training, and what Delaney says goes
in the training quarters. Corbett is a hand

The English Longbow.

The range and power of the English
longbow in its palmiest days We're extraor-
binary, notes a writer in Chambers Jour
nal. We have seen and handled one of
these bows, said to have been used at
Flodden. 1t measured 9 feet, unstrung,
and the arrow 3 feet. The pull must have
been quite 100 pounds. To draw the cloth
yard shaft on such bow would probably
defy the powers of even an exceptionally
strcng man nowadays. But good Bishop
Latimer, in his we'll known eulogy of Eng
lish archery, has shown us how from their
boyhood Englishmen were scientifically
trained in the use of the bow till, like
Justice Shadows hero, old Double, they
could "clap in the clout at twelvescore
yards. F" Up to what distance the old long
bow was really effective is question not
easy to answer, but from the data we
possess it may safely be assumed that
against anything but armor of proof the
cloth yard shaft was deadly up to 300 yards,
while for combined rapidity and efficiency
in shooting no weapon could compare
with the longbow till the introduction of

A Crushing Comparison.

The Darist in the London Speaker
tells story about Mr.. Asquith's appren-
ticeship TO golf. With characteristic cour-
age he learned the game after he became
home secretary, and at the very Mecca of
golf, st. Andrews itself. Like every other
learner, he was not very expert at the COM
mencement and some local Tory wag made
merry I'm print over his misses. Shortly
afterward Mr.. Balfour went TO st. Andrews
TO play "a championship match, and great
crowd of spectators gathered on the links
TO watch him. Among them was an old
lady whose ardent Radicalism had been
hurt by the chaff of which the Liberal
home secretary had been the subject. With
keen eye she watched the play of the
Tory leader Suddenly he made distinct
ly bad shot Instantly raising her voice
to shrill scream, the triumphant defender
of the Radical faith exclaimed, "Why, As
quith at his worst was better than thatP'
Mr.. Balfour joined as heartily as anybody
in the roars of laughter that followed.

ENGLISH KNIGHTS.
The Ceremony Before the Queen at Which
They Get Their Titles.

Her majesty being now ready to receive
us, we were ushered into her presence one
at u time. My turn was the twelfth
hence one of my friends has dubbed me
the Twelfth Knight The equerry took me
to the door of the apartment and then left
me. 1t was lofty room but not very
large, being perhaps 40 feet long and of a
corresponding width. The queen was seat
ed on "a very low seat at the end of the
apartment opposite the door. Behind her
the ladies in waiting were arranged i'm u
semicircle, some of the princesses being on
her left, and the lords in waiting and the
Duke of York on her right hand.
On entering gave my best bow" and,
advancing few steps, stopped and bowed
again, when i was introduced to her maj
esty, my name being pronounced wrongly,
another bow on closely approaching her
and then, dropping on my left knee, ex-
tended the right hand, back uppermost, for
the queen has great objection to moist
palms. Tho queen then laid herright hand
"a very little plump ono--upon mine, and
l kissed it,
Then she took a sword--dreadful mo-
ment--and smote me, ever SO gently, on
my left shoulder, saying in very low. sweet
and soft tones, Rise, Sir Richard" And
l became II dubbed Knight, but not "a
"belt' one, as nowadays knights have to
find their own belts
Then came Il very difficult part of the
ceremony. l had to retire from tho pres
ence backward. Now, had always been
going forward" during my previous life
and was somewhat doubtful as to how /
should perform this retrograGc movement.
i remembered the fate of the mayor of
Truro, who, having presented an address
to the queen on board her yacht in Fail
mouth harbor, walked backward into the
sea. However, | stepped back y pace and,
having steadied myself bowed, then an
other half u dozen PAGES, bowling again,
and after repeating the operation once
more to my great relief found myself at
