Tennyson's In Memoriam,

"a poem like In Memoriam', more
than all the flowers of the returning
spring, more than all the shining
wings that flutter above the ruins of
the chrysalis, more than all the sculp.
tured tombs and monuments of the
beloved dead, is the living evidence
and intimation of an endless life. ="
Such is the closing sentence of Henry
Van Dykes preface to a handsome
edition of this poem by Tennyson,
recently published by Ford, Howard
& Hubert Of New York city; and
the reader who follows Mr.. Van
Dykes finely written description OF
this masterpiece and the circum.

Above the valleys beauty.
That stretches soft and still.

Where heroes feet have trod;
Yet we would lie contented
Upon the flower. strewn sod.

Because the way is long;
For v'gor comes with climbing,
And effort makes us strong.
And though it be not given
To us to reach the skies;
To know how we have striven

right, in his battles, but now he is using
the left hook To an unusual degree. Not
day passes that he does not devote at
leasttwenty minutes to this punch alone.
When two pugilists face each other in
the ring, the left fist is held close 10 the
enemy's chin. Fighters of the very old
school raised the left fist high and chop
ped 1t down over the enemy's guard, TO
blind him or to break his nose prepare
tory to knocking him out with the right.
old-timers Of a later day discovered
that il is possible 10 hit almost as hard
straight punch with the left fist as
with the right, SO they gave up the
chopping idea, and took to lunging with
the left. In order to give this blow its
best effect the fist was drawn back almost
20 the body, and then rtiarted at the head
or body of the adversary.
Corbett made a further discovery. He
saw that, even when the straight left
was lunged out under cover of clever
feinting, shifty adversary, If a good
Judge of time, could eyade or guard the
blow four times out of five. He also
found that his arms were so constructed
and his mind and nerves so equipped
that he could hit a very hard blow with
either hand, starting from the position
in which it stood on guard.
when I discovered that l could hit
those little hook blows with good ef-
feet" said Corbett, 81 determined TO de-
velop the muscles used in the blows TO the
greatest possible extent. / called on Prof
Attila, OF New York, and showed him the
flows, illustrating them by punching the
bag, and by hitting him in the face and on
the body.
"Prof. Attila gave ME an exercise for
developing those muscles. 1t was to take
a light dumb-bell in each hand, hold the
elbows close to the ribs, with the knuckles
up, and then to elevate the outer end OF
the fist as much as possible, being careful
to keep the elbows touching the ribs.

for more than two years, intending to
catch Corbett on the point OF the chin and
knock him out with il, as he has knocked
nut Maher and choynski. For Fitz has in
formed himself fuliy about corbett's style
of fighting.
This is why Corbett is practicingrso hard

as he can, sending it over the shortest dis

which pretend to represent the sentiment
OF the university
The original letter, which was inspired
by birthday party. is as follows:
yale University, Friday, March 2.
flames j. CoTbett. Champion OF the
World:
"Dear sir: We, of the Junior class of
Yale University, desire to express to you
Our heartiest wishes for your success in the
battle OF ST. Patrick's Day. Ever since
your first visit to New Haven last fall, and
your appearance on our football field, the
college at large has felt the deepest inter
est and hope for your triumph Here at
Yale we realize how much brain and sci
ence count in all athletic contests. We
learn of your splendid physical condition,
and can see only one finish for this fight.
Now, Jim, we hope that you Will hang this
Yale nag in your training quarters and in
your corner at the ringside, and remember,
that il waves to you a message of Yaleluck
and pluck. Go In and win, and delight the
hearts OF all true Yale men"
Among the signers OF the 1etter are the
SONS of former secretg william C. Whit
ney and the late Iov. Morris.
Corbett, with a more lively appreciation
than he displays OF even rabbits feet or
shamroeks, telegraphed back that he would
put the flag in his corner on the day of the
fight. Thethought of Yale flag waving
good luck to the intellectual exponent OF
upper-cuts, has been to Yale men as red
flag before his eyes would be to a bull.
What punishment the faculty will In
flict is not known, but Judging from the
serious manner in which the affair has
been taken, the penalty will not be light.
The students declare they will call mass
meeting, and denounce the men who sent
the letter, and this has only been tenn
porarily averted by the prominence and
popularity of those who signed their
names to the letter.
The Yale flag referred to was a silken
banner OF the university colors. 1t is
twenty-four inches long, eighteen inches
wide, and bears the word Yale" in
letters four inches high.

Carson, March IL. Referee George Siler's
Interpretation OF the rules to govern the
big fight on st. Patrickis day does not
meet with the unqualified approval of Rob-
ert Fitzsimm ons and his manager, Martin
Julian. and there is every indication of a
row developing overtbe difference OF opin-
ion on this important point.
Fitz was aging game Of checkers with
Ernest Roeber when Ren Mulford, of the
Cincinnati Post, handed him Siler's letter
containing the rules. Bob glanced at the
typewriter sheets and placed them ON his
knee while he finished the game.
The game resulted in draw, and then
Fitz caught up thelatterand, calling Julian,
retired TO his private apartments. Mrs
Julian joined them and an animated dis
cussion OF the letter ensued- Julian was
very indignant, and expressed his opinion
in unqualified terms.
Rule IL of the Marquis of Queensberry
articles is the stumbling block. 1t is the
concluding rule and reads as follows: "The
contests in all other respects to be gov
erned by she revised rules of the London
prize ring" This is interpreted by Silel
to mean that the contestants may hitin a
breakaway or clinch when either man has
one arm free.
Both Julian and Fitz protest vigorously
against tliis Interpretation, but as they
also exp,,sss q wilaDguessto agree to any
thing satisfactory to Corbett, it is easIfy
seen that their objections are based more
on technicalties than on solid foundations.
what right has Siler to dictate any
rules to Us at this timer demanded Ju-
liam. SIler was not present, and. of course,
the question remained unanswered.
''Now, look here" said Fitz's manager,
as he perused the rules, ''these rules don't
say whether If Corbett is knocked down
and his seconds jump into the ring and
throw water into his face, the referee viii
give the fight to Fitz or not. If these rules
are to go. we want that inserted.
''If we foul Corbett, we want to lose the
fight
That's right" chipped in Fitz: "if
can't win the fight without fouling don t
want to win 1t. But those rules are not
right. Siler contTadicts himself and the
lanky fighter proceeded to illustrate what
he meant, when Julian got the floor and
said:
1--WE want Queensbeery rules. as the
agreement calls for: butif Corbettwants to
fight under London prize ring rules, all
right; 1t suits u.s.
"Yes, said Fitz, 'I will fight him under
any kind of rules, but / don t like their
way of posting him on just what blows

week before the fight II the fight is to
be according to the Queensberry rules there
must be no hitting in tie clinch or break

YALE,s GOOD WISHES.
Great Disturbance Over a Letter
Sent to Corbett.

New Haven, Conn, March 11.-There is
trouble in Yale because of the letter which
thirteen luckless undergraduates sent TO
James J. Corbett wishing him success in
his coming contest with Fitzsimmons. When
the news was first published that the letter
and a Yale flag had been sent to the prize
fighter there came many kilograms from
graduates, each asking that the particular
young man in whom he was interested,
and whose name was signed to the letter,
would deny the authenticity OF the sigma
ture. There was apparently general dis
belief that Yale juniors had really been the
authors of the touching appeal to Jim to
"goin and win"
Then came the announcement that the
letter was genuine, and the faculty has
been holding Indignation meetings, and
thinking of things to do to extricate Yale
from her present humiiating position. The
senders of the letter were all called before
the faculty yesterday, and told that they
must not only assume all responsibility for
the letter, but retract over their signatures
that the students of Yale had anything to
do with it being sent. Accordingly, the
students last evening made the following
statement:
.sThe members of the junior class who
wrote the letter that appeared in the New
York papers yesterday wish to state that
they willingly retract all phrases in it

tells us that there are 365 days in the

chance during the twelvemonth to exploit
