The Fifteen Round Contest Be-
tween Wilson and Brooks
a Corker,
Neither Being Able to Win
Within the Specified
Time.

The fifteen-round glove contest at
the Masonic Temple on last Tuesday
night between Nat Wilson Of this
city and Warren Brooks, of Paris,
was one of the prettiest ever seen
here. From start to finish the
boys seemed to be in earnest. Wilson
was aggressor throughout the fight,
and had it not been for the superior
generalship of his antagonist would
have won. Brooks showed fine
judgment in all his leads, and 1t is
evident that he has been through
thorough training course since his de-
feat by Wilson some time ago.
\ Wilson also showed marked i'm
proyement making some beautiful
cst-like glides to avoid punishment,
and proving hard target, upon
which the Paris lad landed few bullit-
like blows. ..
There were two preliminary bouts
that afforded much amusement for the
spectators and which put them in a
good humor to enjoy the lively contest
to follow, E.E nas
The man, stripped to the wais'. en-
tered the ring at about 9:2O o'clock,
Both we're given an ovation by the
400 or 500 people present. After
come parlying Richard Apperson was
Shosen referee, He stated that it
would be a ffteen-ronaas contest, and
II both men were on their feet at the
end of that time it would be declared
draw. Sidney johnson was time
keeper. ..
In the first round very little fight
ing was done as each man seemed TO
be waiting for the other TO "opeu the
ball" ...... o., w..
In the second round Wilson went
after the Paris beauty in a lively
manner and landed several good
ones in the region OF his solsr plexus
Wilson had by far the best of this
round as he did of the succeeding
ones up to the eleventh, when
{ Brooks made it decidedly interesting
for him, getting in some telling blows
The twelfth round was uninterest-
ing as both men seemed to be playing
for wind. .--..-.-.-.. ..--.
Ia the thirteeth Brooks again made
Nat step about quite lively to avoid
his rushes and hard swings. This
round was decidedly in Brooke favor
A. the close Of the fifteenth Brooks
landed q hard blow on Wilson which
temporarily staggered him. D 1t gave
the Paris sports some ground to be
lieve that had the contest been rom
ger their man would have won
Wilson is not the mar to be whipped
by one little staggering blow and hat
the fight been continued he would
have in the end proved the victor.

WAR PRESIDENTS
OF THE UNITED STATES.
william Mckinley is the Fourth
Short Sketches of Famous
Men.
OF THE UNITED STATES.

Since the time when, by the sdor-
ton of The Constitution, the contedel-
ated States became a Nation, the
U0ited States have fought three wars,
The present war being the fourth.
Then President Mckinley becomes
eIfourth "Wsr President Of the
United Starea.
Our first war President" was Jas.
Madison, tlat little Jim Madison
with cue not bigger thin a pipe
stem, as the disgusted Washington
barber referred to him and wondered
what the country was coming TO
when the NaIiIn would pass by big,
portly men with cues as big as a rope
and powdered every day, to elect
such little shaver President. Aaron
Burr called him the great little Madi-
son.
The war of 1912 against Grent
III i'"'h ~ i''Co neu''al W IlSuls VI
the Unit d st It's, was forced upon
Madison by CiaV, Calhoun and Craw-
ford, much against his Judgment and
will. Nevertheless the Federalitt,
who were opposed t. the war dubbed
It Madison's war.
The next war Of the United Srstss
was the Mexican war The Presi-
dent OF the war time was James X
Polk, the 'lende', el, quent, graceful
TennessGean, member OF Congress for
IA years, Speaker for six years aud
Ex-Governor OF his State. That war
st ongly aud even bitterly opposed by
the Wings and AboIitiOnI.t., was call
ed rightly POlk's war. Rightly, |
say. for President Polk and his ad-
ministration, following the advice of
ex President Jackson, brought it on
against the original wish and judg-
melt Of Congress,
The third war was thtt for the
Union. It's President was the tall
gaunt, ungainly, Intensely original
aud natural Lincoln, the tallest man
that ever was chosen President, and
the most nobly eloquent.
Our fourth war, now just bogin.
ming. finds in the Presidency William
Mckinley, short, of middle weight
grave, studious of the small pro.
prieties.
Our war Presidents have been
childless, save old Abraham Lincoln.
All have been lawyers. All have
been ex-members Of Congress.
Madison was Princeton graduate
and Polk a graduate from the Uni.
Versity of North Carolina. Neither
Lincoln nor Mckinley had a college
education.
Madison was sn EpiscopaIian, and
when young studied for the ministry
Polk, when on his death bed, wa,
baptized and joined the Presbyterian
Church. Lincoln was a Methodist a,
is Mckinley. ...
In politics Madison was Jefferson,
ian Republican (Democra). Polk 9
Jacksonian Democrat. Lincoln and
Mckinley Republicans.
Madison died in good old age
Polk died within three months OF
leaving the Whitehouse, and when
only %. Lincoln was assassinat4d
early in his second term at the early
age of Sc.
All four were between so and &C
years of age when inaugurated. The
wives OF all three Of the earlier war
Presidents long outlived them.

Roosevelt Nominated.

Col. Theodore Roosevelt, of Santiago
governor of New York at the Republican
state convention at Saratoga Tuesday even
ing on the first ballot, receiving 1853 votes
to 213 for Gov. Frank Black. Timothy l..
Woodruff of Brooklyn was nominated for
lieutenant governor, and John T. Melon
ough of Albany for secretary of state. The
friends of Gov. Black made the best fight
they could for his denomination, but they
we're in a hopeless minority, especially with
Thomas G. Platt backing Roosevelt and
managing his forces. An attempt was made
to defeat Roosevelts nomination on the
ground of ineligibility, because, while he
was assistant secretary of war, he made
affidavit that he was a resident of Wash
ington and not of New York city, in order
to avoid payment of taxes which had been
assessed against him in that city. 1t was
claimed for Roosevelt by his friends, and
so explained to the convention, that a man
who was an office. holder in Washington
might have two legal residences, and that
Roosevelt, while not a residen. of New
York city, had always kept his legal resi-
dence at Oyster Bay, N. Y, and that his
affidavit was made to protect him from
being compelled to pay taxes in that city
with which he was not justly chargeable
1t was evident that the convention cared
nothing about this technical point, fol
half the delegates left the hall while Elihu
Root was making a lengthy speech of ex
planation on this point.

The 18Th annual Valley Fair is itali-
cised in the minds of all the people of
Brattleboro, those of thousands Up and
down the Connecticut Valley, and nu-
merous representation from all parts of
New England. The fateful number to
those superstitiously inclined proved a
mascot rather than hoodoo, and brought
nothing but success in increased measure
in all the departments and features of the
great autumnal festival, and this meant
satisfaction and pleasure, alike for those
who labored in its interests, and the larger
number who came for the profit and enjoy
ment which it could give.
The first thought is of the beautiful and
artistic pageant, that living panorama COM
prising equipages draped in vivid colors
and garlanded with leaves and flowers,
drawn by equine beauties similarly be.
decked, and bearing children, maidens and
women in all the grace and lovelness which
costuming and studied effect could add to
natural beauty. Here an allegorical repre-
sentatiOn, rext a simple picture as clear
cut as a cameo, followed by one tending TO
arouse the patriotic fervor which has had
no rest the past summer. Then the
scene shifted to other pictures equally eff
fective but entirely different in their repre-
sentations. Collectively the attractions
made up pageant which could hut please
the most critical and win admiration even
from cynic.
Upon the Playground the tendency wa:
] to raise the standards which have given
the Valley Fair place unique among fal
exhibitions. Specimens which represented
the best that breeding could produce ir
horses, cattle, sheep, swine and poultry
could be seen in large numbers; the hal
devoted TO the products OF the field, gar
den and orchard was filled TO overflowing
with practically everything which can bt
grown ou, door in the New England elm
ate, and the products of the dairy, thu
housewives dainties, and the contrivance!
which tighten the labor of the farm anC
home added to the value and interest o
| the exhibition.
The attendance kept pace with th'
merits of the fair, and surpassed the recorC
of any previous exhibition. The first dal
brought 5000 people to the fair ground anC
the second day approximately 10000.
Everyone remarked on the perfect wealth
er and the remarkable luck of the Vale!
Fair association in always drawing favor
able conditions. The days were clear ant
bright, of just the right temperature 70
comfort, They could not have been i'm
proved upon if made to order.
The only apology needed is in regard t,
the races. They were too tame. Col
Hooker ate humble pie in his own cheer
full way by telling the spectators from tn
judges stand Thursday afternoon that tn
policy of cutting down the purses for trot
ting was an error, and promising that tn
sport next year should be in keeping wit
the rest of the Valley Fair

lieutenant. In June, 1861, the famous
peace meeting OF the citizens was held in
Delaware, and Lieut.. Bayard was one of
the principal speakers. He denounced the
war, and his remarks on that occasion
have been quoted in late years as an ar5u-
ment against his availability as a presi-
dental candidate
In 1868 he was elected to succeed his
father in the United States Senate and
was twice reelected. In the Democratic
nomination of 1880 his friends rallied to
secure his nomination for the presidency
