FIRE FROM WARSHIPs.
Knack Of Seeking out the Weak Spo,s
of the Enemy.
Coasters Magazine.

Coasters MagaZine)
Attack by light shot or shell upon 4
thick arnlor belt would be Intellectual
however We'll directed; and again,
heavy shot or shell fired from the main
armament of a battlcship would not be
properly employed as a rule in attacks
ing unarmored positions. The only
reason for putting guns of different
calibre upon a ship is that the target
presented TO them by an enemy's vessel
is not a homogeneous body. If it We're.
it would much simplify matters to have
all guns alike. The big guns are for
the hard places and the small guns for
the soft ones.
There is proper target upon every
enemy's ship for each of the different
calibres of guns carried. and these tar
gets Will vary accordingly to the type
of ship attacked. SO much Will depend
upon the first few minutes of a close
action that if a commander could give
his instructions to his different gun de-
tachments before coming within close
range as to the part of the ship upon
which they should direct their fire. it
might be of immense advantage to him.
Before he can do this he must recog-'
niZe his enemy. and every means would
no doubt be taken to discover the iden-
tlty OF an opponent at the earliest pos
Sible moment.
Let us suppose the enemy's ship, or
at any rate. the class to which she be-
longs. is known. Then if the captain
could turn 70 his notebook and find a
prearranged plan Of attack, suited to
her construction. he could at once tell
he guns crews what their targets
was TO be.
1t may be that duels between ships
Will be of rare occurrence, ana that
such actions as that at the Yalu will
be the most frequent. where fleets will
pass each other rapidly and where such
rules as propose for discriminating at

"Cocker" Tweedie Has Returned From Australia-La Fontaine
 and I've Matched.

Cocker" Tweedie, the Australian lightweight pugilist, who was defeated at one of the Olympic Club entertain ments by Jimmy Lawlor, returned yes terday from the land of the golden fleece.
 Tweedie is very anxious to have an opportunity of proving to the sporting people of this city that he is a much better man pugilisticauy than many of the local sporting men suppose. He says that it was through carelessness on his part that he was whipped by Lawlor. He is ready now to sign articles with any man of his weight in America for a limited contest or a con- test to a finish.
 The National Athletic Club has signed Charley I've, the clever pugilist of the Reliance Club of Oakland and La Fon- taine, French Canadian fighter, who arrived in this city recently, to box ten rounds in WCodwards Pavilion on the evening of the Green Creedon tWenty-rOund contest.
