by Monroe county men. 1t is poor
acre of fir land which will not yield
5000 trees, and allowing $40 an acre for
stumping, $50 an acre for labor and
carriage and $50 an acre for freight the
trees do not cost 2 cents apiece de-
livered in Boston or New York The
price of the smallest tree in the city Is
seldom If ever below 25 cents. Ascend
ing from that sum to a maximum of
s. so it may be readily seen that so
long as they can find customers the
men who handle Christmas trees are in
no danger of becoming Door.
OF late years the Monroe county men,
however, have had decreased uroats.
Many of the trees shipped by Monroe
county men go to Philadelphia and for
the past few years the market has been
overstocked, and carloads of trees went
for a song.

THE BIG PUGILISTS
AND THEIR CHANCES
Knowing Ones Contend That Fitz-
simmons Is Still Dangerous
for Six Rounds.

1t is said that interest in the coming
big fight in New York between Jeffries
and Fitzsimmons is becoming very keen
in the East and that the Californian is
gaining admirers daily.
1t matters not who the pugiistS are,
whenever a fight is announced there will
be found admirers of both men, even
though one of the sloggers may be so far
superior as a boxer to his prospective op-
ponent that comparison would seem ridic-
ulous Now, then, all persons who have
seen Fitzsimmons' and Jeffries' perform
ances must admit that FitZsmmons is
Jeffries master in all particulars that per-
tain to boxing Fitz is a better general,
is swifter on his feet can use both hands
to good advantage and can certainly de-
liver the hardest blow, because of the fact
flat he has thoroughly mastered the
game and knows when to hit and how TO
do it.
Jeffries in his fight with Sharkey, which
was the only contest from which a good
line can be taken of his ability as a
pugilist, satisfied his most ardent admir-
crs that he had much to learn of the art
OF self-defense. The right he used only
on a few occasions and the blow was tel
egraphed so plainly that the sailor was
away from danger when the shot was
fired

which the High School nine has suffered
at the hands Of the Christians, and 1t ran
kles deep in the maiden hearts. of the stu
dents. While the High School young Ia
dies acknowledge defeat according to the
reading of the score, they claim that II

voice they raise their wailing complaints

punish the referees who cut short the
second half of the game by five minutes,
thereby destroying their chancs for WIN

day. How could we win with all three

possible" DR.. Dietz explains it differ
entity His version is that the visiting
team had the right to nominate two of
the officials, which they failed to do, and
in order to play the game he was forced
TO find the two who judged the contest.
The first half was smooth sailing with
hardly a ripple of contention against the
decisions of the officials Not so at the
end Of the second half. Then the merry

score was to 5, with the Y. M. c. A. on
