1t must DO said that pugillism Inns
literally gone to seed when shack
numbers like Corbett can delude u
large audience in an intelligent city
like New York INTO believing TINT he
is still in the arena and capable OF
putting up.a strong physical contest.
The battle between the ancient
Californian and n bruiser named Me-
Coy the other evening demonstrated
c~ouclusiy"ly that prize fighting has
got down to the exhibition point and
no longer depends upon prowess for
its interest. IL boxer ia capable Of
presenting a skillful display and able

in which they exhibit they are rapid.
ly abandoning the desperate tactics
winch in ancient times used to- bring
victories TO them in the ring.
For instance, compare the battle
between Fit2simmons and Jeffries OF
CorUett and Mccoy with the Mace
Allen fight OF thirty years ago, or the
Heennn Saycrs fight OF n previous
date. Those were battles royal and
the gate money did not influence
their results.
Probably we are indebted to the
notorious Horton law for this de-
velopment II pugilism. That statute
authorized prize fights in New York
under certain conditions, one OF
which was that they should he man

Police Department. While tho law
was IN force the rugs tiocked to Co
than in large numbers and secured IA
large amount Of plunder by getting
up exhibitions such as we have de-
scribcd.
While the sporting people of New
York are probably well aware Of the
fIct that they have been duped by
the pugilists, VT doubt whether a
single man of them approves OF the
repeal Of the law. There is some
thing about human nature. us Bar
