agreed to give lessons at her home, I'M
known to all but her mother. He found
an apt pupil and in couple of months
was delighted to hear the brother tell a
fellow member that isis picked up
whole lot about boxing, don't you
know. BY jove, she actually landed on

SO much success could not be kept Sc

two of her girl friends, and now the
club Instructor has n number of female
pupils belonging to the most exclusive
circles of the 400. He finds that they
learn the various positions readily and
are wonderfully quick with their hands.
The costume required Is an ordinary
fencing dress with the regulation ath-
letlc shield for women. No bOdyguard
or shield Is necessary, for in teaching
women to box the idea of striking hard
blows is eliminated. At the same time
q woman who becomes expert as a
sparrer would always be able to de-
fend herself against an attack. She
would have the physical confidence
which comes from trained hands and
wrists. a special style of boxing glove
is required for women. 1t is a large,
soft glove, exactly like a mans, except
that it has padded arm or gauntlet
which extends up the arm from the
wrist to the elbow. This protects the
arm from any bruise or knock without
lncumbering the wcarer's motions in
any way.
Female pupils are first taught to de-
fend themselves and then to attack.

a series of lessons is that the pupil
shows greater courage. She does not

dator and remained in his charge until
four years ago, when the concession
and assets were transferred to a new
company of French hnanciers, with A
working capital Of S13 900, 900. No cash
was paid for the assets of the old COM
pany, but stipulation was made in the
conveyance providing that n certain
part of the residuary profit of the canal
should go to the holders of stock in the
Cd company after charges on securities
Of the present company are provided

"Under the Dome"

"Under the Dome,' which comes
to the Central Opera House next
Monday, Feb 6, promises to be one
of the biggest money winners OF the
season.
1t was first produced at the Lin
coin Theatre, September IL, and
scored heavily. 1t is said to be well
constructed and to contain at least
two remarkable scenes: The first
of these, realistic ferry boat trip
from Jersey City to New York, is
said to be absolutely perfect in de-
tail. The wash of the water, the
breaking of the engines, straining of
the timbers, and changing of bells
are all successfully initiated.
The forward half OF the boat is
shown, headed out into the stream
and away from the audience which
is supposed to occupy the rear of the
boat. At first the. lights of the OPP
posite shore and the outlines of the
buildings can be but family seen.
AS the boat progresses out into the
stream these lights become larger
and brighter and the buildings grad
ualIy assume shape. When the boat
nears it's destination the familiar
buildings stand out boldly and
brightly until it enters the ferry
house.
More startling is tho hurricane
scene. The first set shows the beau
tiful coral reef harbor at Apia,
Samoa, the beach and the home OF
the q. S. Consul. This is followed
by the hurricane scene. Forked
tightening, roaring winds, rolling
thunder, binding rain, and waves
mountain high tossing the doomed
men-of-war and finally wrecking
the q. S. ship Trenton make an awe
inspiring and blood quickening spec
tacle which can hardly fail to move
the most blase theatre goer.
In addition to these scenes, three
beautiful scenes of familiar localities
are shown. The most effective of
these is the dome OF the capitol il
Illuminated.
