 This was enough for one dny. I had found the reef. had actually found the wreck of a ship which, from its coral deposit, must have lain in the one position for over hundred years at least presumably the galleon Neustra Sonora de Sevilla. And l had found that the coral jacket on the northerly side of her hull was less than six inches in thickness! I wanted to dance from sheer satisfaction, but it occurred to me that it might be safer to do so in the proa above water, so started back toward her.
 Now my mind was so filled with ex- ultation at having accomplished seem ing impossibilities that I tried 10 put my hands in my pockets and whistle as 1 strode along. But there were no pockets in the confounded rig, and the whistle was q mistake-a big mis- take. It not only exhausted my breath ing air, but it produced a concussion in that copper helmet which nearly lifted the roof off of my skull. It shook my confidence so much that, when the ringing partially subsided in my ears, I hurried along even faster toward the proa. After walking con- siderably farther than what should have been the proper distance I began to curse my thoughtlessness in not towing the thing along after me, in stead of leaving it to be hunted up when even seconds were precious. In my nervousness I must have gone too far. Finally I turned back, looking right and left for the line which had been fastened to the lump of coquina. Just when hope had almost left me stumbled upon the piece of rock and grasped the rope to ascend. But things seemed to be turned around. Instead of slanting to the westward, as it should have done, the line hung over toward the precipice.
 Thinking that l had surely lost my bearings, took step or two underit

Peter Maher and got the worst of a five
round bout with Fitzsimmons that was
stopped by the police in this City when
Choynski was in distress. Choynski
fought an eight-round draw with
sharkey and a 2o-round draw with Jim
Jeffries. Choynski knocked out two
Australians, Mick Dooley and Owen Sui
Ivan. in two rounds, and then fell before
Joe Goddard in four rounds. On return
ing to America he disposed of George
Godfrey in 10 round and also settled
Jim Hall in 10 rounds. Joe McAuliffe was
settled in four rounds, and Ed Dunkhorst
was defeated in six und Choynski
met Maher Nov. IS, 1896, and Joe had all
the best of it for five rounds. In the
sixth Choynski started to exchange wal
lops at short range and went to sleep in
a hurry. Therefore it car be seen Choyn-
ski has had a varied and interesting ca
reer, and for a man who has never
fought above 15 pounds to mix it up with
giants like Jeffties, Maher, Goddard.
Sharkey ct al, was taking decidedly long
chances. Choynski, relying on his clev-
erness. has taken those chances, his
courage being in excess of his physical
resources. Choynski is really entitled to
more credit than many more noted box
ers, and deserves we'll of boxing patrons,
who first of all admire courage.

II believe the mother to be a sincere

Mothers, educate your girls to be wo-

Now | am going to shock you. If any of
you have a boy who will not on good pro-
vocation %fight-that boy is not worth his
salt. Train your boy to use his fighting
instincts on the side of righteousness.
Do not punish him for what is simply an
overflow of animal spirits, becauso he is
healthy and full of life. But punish any
thing like cruelty. Punish him when he
, abuses his strength" That Is the Kind of
talk that has the ring of true metal in
1t. Any other kind is demoralizing and
calculated to make a milksop of a boy.
When Roosevelt was a police commits
siOner here he came out boldly in favor
of boxing shows.
John Il. Mclean, who is a candidate for
governor of Ohio, is even more of an en-
thusiast for sport than Roosevelt. He
was a member of the old Cincinnati Red
Stocking Baseball Club. and once upon a
time, when Cincinnati was without a
club (way back in 1879. he put up every
dollar of the money which rehabilitated
the game in the Queen City. He was a
clever boxer, too, and as manly a one as
ever put on the mitts for a bout with a
friend.
Dan Crcedon is no longer a crackerjack

dead one or "Out of the game" When
he gets a chance at a third or even a sec

win.
