Will Fire Company needed rubber boots and
some of them rubber coats; it had been
seven years since the Con pany had received
supplies of this character The boots, he
said, would cost So per pair, 5 of, and the
Company wanted to buy them themselves so
they could set what they wanted, and
would become responsible for them. He
therefore moved that an order for 500 be
drawn in favor of Good Will Fire Company
Messrs Cloud and Best opposed the pur-
chase of supplies in that way; that if they
were needed they should be purchased by
the Fire Committee, or the Chief Mr..
Best said the city ought to furnish the men
with these supplies, but they would last
some men one year and other men seven
years, and those worn out in one year
would not go to any more fires than those
that lasted seven years. He favored a
yearly allowance of say So each man, for
rubber goods. Mr.. Watkins opposed even
a semblance of paid fire department; if
the members of Goodwill needed rubber
boots and coats, they ought to have them !;
if it had been seven years since they had
been furnished with these supplies, no
fault could be found with the use they
we're put to. The motion was carried
unanimously.
A petition from residents of Smallwood

Feet ana Fists.

John j. Corbett, the ex-champioh OF
pugilism, declares that football is far more
brutal and dangerous than ring fighting,
and argues the matter logically. He~says
of the two combats -:
Ia a boxing contest man has only one
opponent to face. If he is knocked down
and remains down ten seconds without
getting up be is declared beaten. Ten sec
onds pass very swiftly, yet man who
knows his business is knocked down a
great many times before he remains down
ten seconds. That of itself shows that
he cannot be very badly hurt. 1t is i'm
possible, as boxing contests are now con-
Quoted for a man to be hurt severly. In
foot ball man has to face not one, but a
dozen opponents When he goes down ne
is likely to find fifteen men on top of him.
He can't cry enough and get to his feet.
There is no referee TO stand oyer him and
protect him. No one knows how badly he
is hurt until the fifteenth man gets off of
him, and he tries to rise to his feet Moth
ing of that kind in the prize. ring have
stood in the grand stand at the Polo
Grounds and seen men and women who
hold up their hands IN horror at the mere
mention of prize-fight, applaud vigorously
when player of the side antagonistic to
their sympathies was carried off the field
crippled. They thought that his loss would
enable their favoriles to win the game.
The better the man and the more serious
his Injuries the louder they cheeTed. There
was no more sympathy for the injured man
in the hearts of those people than there was
in the hearts of Ancient Romans who
watched the gladitorial contest for the VIC
TINS torn to pieces by wild beasts; but
these are the men who howl against boxing
contests.
All this is undeniably true. Foot ball,
like pugilism, comes to Us from England,
as test of courage, strength and endur-
ance, and no legal interference with either
is dreamed of in their native land. MIR
Corbett is not hostile to football, but OBJ
jects to the discrimination against boxing
in this country, and, as matter of plain
common sense, there seems to be no reason
for it except that the two sports are par
ticipated in by persons who occupy widely
different social positiOns
