BOXING NOTES.

Oscar Gardner had not much more
than time to shake hands with himself
and look in the mirror to get glimpse
OF the man who had defeated Soily
Smith before he had other business to
attend to. Joe Bernstein wanted 10 see
him. Bernstein's ambition caused him
to make overtures for a match with
Gardner, and 1t was agreed Thurs day
afternoon that they would hammer
each others beauty for 20 rounds be-
fore the club that would offer the
largest purse. The fight may tahe
place within short bime, as both the
youngsters are fit for a go now.
A match between Tommy West and
Jack Bonner is now on the carpet.
West is willing to meet Bonner at
catch weights, thereby giving the Perm
sylyanian all latitude. bonner has
said, since he defeated Dick O'Brien
in Hartford, that he will take on any
man in the class. The Charter Oak A.
c., of Hartford, and the Greenwood, of
South Brooklyn, are both after the
match.
There is a lucky corner in the
Lenox Athletic Club" said Harry Har-
ris. st is in the southwest corner,
and there is always scramble to get
it. l fought several fights in it and
always won. Jimmy De Forest, NJ
manager, used to run down a naif
hour before and hold it down. Shar
key always took it, and SO did George
Dixon. When Dixon fought Gardner
he tried to get it first, but Gardner got
in and took it. O'Rourke asks him if
he won't toss for it, and Dixon wins
lhIe toss. CoIbett had it, too, and
tossed and lost when he fought Shar-
key, and the sailor won again when ne
went against Mccoy. They've got Il
big room there which the losers al
ways occupy. It's one of the best
rooms there, too. l took little dirty
room instead of going into it once
Exchange.
In Dixon and Gardner Pedlar Pal
mer will have the hardest men to
handle he has ever encountered, even
if he should defeat both OF them.
Dixon is a remarkable man not alone
from his long career, which has been
a steady winning enc from the start,
but from the fact that he has been the
mark at which all the best men in his
class have flown. But Oscar Gardner
is about as remarkable a fighter as
Dixon, and after Palmer gets through
with them he will understand that
there are others. The ease with which
Gardner killed off Solly Smith is only
a faint indication of what remarkable
fighter he is. He was unframed an&
yet made a show of the Californian.
The only Consisting Gardner got was
through his many bouts in different
parts of the country.

gilist. Gardner did not train very hard
for the mill, but got into shape by in
dulging in contests in various parts of
the country with lesser lights. Before
he weighed in on Tuesday afternoon
Gardner smoked several cigars. He also
took brandy and soda after his dinner
at o'clock. This has been a habit
with him for a long time, yet he has
never failed to enter the ring in superb
condition. The manner in which he
chased the aggressive Smith around the
anything else, and when the crisis came
in the sixth round Gardner developed
speed and strength enough to beat al
most anybody. When Gardner was de-
feated by Smith several years ago at
tie Broadway A. c. his hands were not
in good shape. He has had considerable
trouble with them since, he says, but
they are now so hardened that 1t is a
difficult matter to injure them. In his
1ttCilL lNC1ily AOillSSl " III
Champion Dixon, Gardner says he was
handicapped by his hands. which were
injured early in the affray. The most
remarkable thing about the Kid is his
ability to make almost any weight be-
tween 115 and $50 pounds. He weighed
l23 when he tackled Smith on Tuesday
night, but explains to the Sun man that
he could get down to lis in three days

Gardner within the next month will
meet Bernstein. Sam Bolen. Martin
Flaherty, Jos. Hopkins, and one or two
other feather-weights in limited-round
bouts. He says he believes in keeping
himself busy, so that he can get the
money while it is in sight In dispo-
sition Gardner is quiet and unassum-
ing. He likes to fight and believes that
square tactics pay. He is not stickler
for conditions governing his contests,

with an attack of the grip. After a
while the disease not having left him,
he was advised to try Paine's celery
compound. He was soon back at his
Office in the department of public
works, well man. and forthwith
wrote letter to the proprietors of the
remedy. in which he says:
II had been told by friends of the
wonderful results obtained by them
from the use of Paine's celery com
pound. After my severe attack OF the
grip ] determined TO try It. ! have
already found that my friends reports
were not at all exaggerated. and | wish
to join most cheerfully with them In
recommending the remedy to others.
Hundreds of grateful letters have
been written to the proprietors Of
Paine's celery compound since the APP
pearance of grip this year, telling OF
the perfect recoveries It has effected.
The letters come from men and wo-
men of many conditions. Few per-
sons are so poor they cannot afford to
have this great remedy constantly in
the house. and none are so prosperous
that for their health's sake they can
afford to be without It, When so
many men and women whose words
carry the utmost weight in the COM
munities in which they live testify as
they do to the great benefit they have
received from Paine's celery com
pound, there can be no hesltancy In
trying it. A single trial is the test
which is confidently invited.
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1899-02-11

Now, what is the grip?
Can it be avoided or prevented?
And can it be cured?
Grip is characterized by a continued
fever by a tendency to inflammation
of the membranes Of the digestive and
often the respiratory tracts, by pain
in the muscles, and by debility.
The grip in individual cases varies
from a slight indisposition to severe
forms with grave symptoms-these
variations depending wholly upon the
health, age, temperament or nervous
condition of the person. Those pre-
disposed to rheumatism suffer great
pain in the muscles; persons of nerv-
Gus temperament become low spirited,
often have hysteria, and, ii not close
ly watched, have been known to COM
nit suicide Several cases of this sort
have been reported this month in the
newspapers. Headache is a constant
symptom The bowels are generally
constituted. Whatever form the dis
ease takes there is invariably extreme
prostration. The danger to persons in
previous healthful condition is slight.
It has been absolutely proven that
there is one certain preventive of seTi-
Gus cases of grip; and that there is
one remedy for persons suffering with
it, or beginning to be convalescent
from its attack.

had the fight we'll in hand Smith sud
denly stopped, because, he said, he had
broken his arm. At the time there
were many skeptics, who now believe
that they were correct in the belief
that the Californian had had enough.
A story was told yesterday of battle
between Smith and Gardner held at
Buffalo some time ago. Gardner M
heralded, came to that city and said
he wanted to fight anybody. He had
never been heard of before, but when
Solly Smith bobbed up he expressed a
desire to meet the Californian. When
they got into the ring Gardner lost no
time in scrambling all over Smith in
the first three rounds. The latter was
ratified, but in the fifth he got Gardeners
measure, and, with a heavy punch on
the jaw, he made the Kid wabble.
Then Smith rushed, and Gardner, see
ing a leftIhant upperout coming with
full force, quickly dropped to his hands

head while in that position. Gardner
rolled over, apparently unconscious,
and the referee declared him the winner
on foul. Possibly Smith had this in
cident in mind when Gardner was put
ting on the pressure in the sixth round
on Tuesday night. But the Californian
was not clever actor.
