Corbett dropped like weight and
was clear out. Jeffries showed ability
to take punishment at any distance,
but he was clearly outpointed, and at
times made to look like novice. The
crowd numbered 5000 Corbett's de-
feat fell upon a silent crowd. There
were cheers given for him when he
arose and left the ring, and he was
shown more consideration than the
victor. 1t was the fastest, cleancst,
prettiest and
Closest Heavy Weight Battle
ever fought in New York. There is
credit for the victor and credit for the
vanduished in this cleverest of ring
battles. Jeffries must be awarded
the laurels Of victory, yet his opponent
is entitled to all honor for his most
wonderful fight. That feature of the
contest stands out in relief as the
most striking one Of the battle. Cor
bett emerged from years training
for the ring, rejuvlnated and fresh.
He was as fast and clever as in the
days gone by when men marvelled at
his skill His defense was perfect.
He outdid his man at short and long
range. and if he had had the strength
would have gained an easy victory. A
hundred times he ducked under
left swings that would have ended
him lust as did the the punch that
knocked him out At times he made
the massive Jim look like beginner
in the art Of self-defense. His STRAIT
egy was great in getting away. When
Jeffries stood over the quivering
form Of his opponent his body showed
marks of the punishment he had re-
ceived. When Corbett
Went Down to Defeat
it was regretted by the vast majority
Of the nen in the arena. He had lots
of sympathy. Jeffries won with his
strength, both that strength that lies
In the power Of massive muscle and
that strength which is the essence of
vitality. He made the pace for most

man who last night left the ring ex-

that there was ever more orderly
affair under the Horton law. There
was little betting on the outcome Of
the battle In the small sums placed
Jeffries was clear favorite at odds
Of 2 to 1. These odds varied at diff
ferent times and different places dur

FOREST PRESERVATION.

The United States geological survey
which is investigating the forests of
the country finds that 81 per cent Of
the land is wooded. In the various
states the percentages vary from in
South Dakota to in Kansas, to IS in
Illinois, 20 - in California, to 40 to
so along the Atlantic border and to II
in Washington. The vast amount of
timber in the United States made peo-
Pile careless about taking measures
for it's preservation, and it is gener-
ally agreed that if things had been
allowed to 90 on in their natural
course timber famine would have
resulted N two or three generations.
For several years past the govern
ment has been laboring to avert such
an outcome, and further steps in this
direction are now agitated.
A great scarcity of tim Der would be
almost as unfortunate in it's effects on
the water supply as on the industries
which use lum ter. Humboldt's warn
ing is still true: In telling trees
growing on the sides and SUBMITS of
mountains. men uHder all climates
prepare for subsequent generations
wood and a lack of water" The
freshet that caused the Johnstown
flood in 1889 was attributed in part
to the cutting of timber from the mill
creek water shed. The Johnstown
Water company has had the region
examined by the division of forestry
and the experts have recommended
that bare land be planted with trees
and that the whole district be care
fully guarded from fire. Such meas
ures taken so years ago might have
saved the lives lost at Johnstown, as
well as the $4,000, 900 worth of
property destroyed. In addition to
the prevention of floods, the policy of
fostering forests is necessary for irri-
cation and for developing water
power.
The government effort to protect
timber by its system of forest re-
serves is familiar to the people of
the west. Wooded areas of 10000
acres have already been set aside on
the Pacific coast and in the other
western and northern states. 1t is
now proposed to extend the system.
Reservations are wanted in Northern
Minnesota at the head waters of the
and in Western North
Carolina among the Appalachian
Advocates OF a Mime
sofa park of 600. 900 acres of land
think that it is essential TO Mississippi
navigation. The Appalachian reser-
walton would be of value in preserving
the head waters of important south
ern rivers. Both parks could be used
as game preserves and as profitable
tim Der land.
IL conditions are favorable the at
tention of congress will probably be
called to at least one of the proposed
plans during the present session.
But one thing that congress is not
likely TO do is to remove the tariff
from lumber, which would,do more to
preserve the forests in this country
than anything else.

Gus profession. Here's another tip
for the administration.

IT seems to be the history of the
management of prize ring events that
they can be conducted ION the Ievel''
just SO long and then the fiuke
must come. From the lest informa-
ton now to be had the McGovern-
Cans fight at Tattersalrs, Chicago,
Thursday night, was not only fake
all the way through, but a gigantic
swindle, the ends of which extended
to all parts of the country. If the
conductors of the manly art expect
at any time to popularize the sport to
an extent that the law will tolerate it,
they are adopting strange methods to
attract patrons who at least expect
fairness in other respects, to say
nothing of return for their admis-
sion fee

THERE are people who are. by rea-

companies. The balloonist. the diver,

others are not able to have their lives

as hazardous" or extra hazardous
risks. The application of young Alex
