1t was whispered In Washington that
as the Montague Browns were not
as rich as other members of the smart

some tablecloth had been ruthlessly
cut. and through the opening cluster
of American Beauty roses, their stems
on the, floor, shot up two feet above
the table. 1t was the most effective
table decoration of the winter.
Mrs Montague Brown, young, pret-
ty and ambitious. smiled n smile OF
rare pleasure. She reflected compla-
Gently that she had captured cabinet

SPORTS.

An important meeting of the North
End Athletic club will be held tonight
at 7:3o o'clock.
At this time the directors will make
n complete report on the new club
house proposition. They have obtain
ed options on a number of lots and it
is probable that one of these will be
purchased in n few days.
The club proposes to build the new
home early next spring. The house
will be model one. 1t will be larger
than any in the city and will have
every convenience. There will be a
gymnasium, baths and bowling al

capacity of 600 will be feature.
CORBETT'S OPINION.
The World publishes the following
signed statement from James J, Cor.
bett, who fought Champion Jeffres
and who trained with Rubin Mt Lake
wood and taught him the most he
| knows about the lighting game:
Before l say anything of the relative
merits of the two fighters, Rubin and
Jeffries, / want ii thoroughly under
stood that | bear no i'll feeling toward
the champion because he refused me
q chance to fight him again. And I'm
not preiudiced because Rubin is en-,
dowed with some Of the qualities I
developed in him. I'm going to see the
fight, and what l hope to see is the
best man win.
Jeffries, of course, is champion, and
to have attained that degree he had
to have some good qualities as figh'
ter. Now, those summed up in n SEN
tence would hardly sound like much,
but in the twenty -four-foot ring I'll
tell you they count big.
"The first is the enormous weight.
in that proportion he Is better than any
other in the world. Then, by virtue
of his bulk he has n punch that Is a
money winner. But his best virtue is
the amount of patience he possesses. 1t
is hard to find fighter with so much.
To win in the twenty-fifth round is
lust the same to him as landing the
prize In the first minute. TO have sucf
quality in ones makeup means
Judgment of the best sort, and he has
: it.
5 But you'll excuse this one little
knock-he has such good sense he
won't meet me again. don't think
any better evidence Of his good sense
can be shown. He Is just that way
in the ring.
AS TO RUHLIN.

manager, and should know when
to increase or reduce boxers
training work. If Rubin had gone
stale two weeks before the fight let
up Of few days would have enabled
him to round to before entering the
ring II Rubin was out of form, then
it was due directly to Madden's stu
pidity. 1 still maintain that Rubin
was in very good physical condition
the night he made that terrific fight
against old man Fitzsimmons. The
talk of bad condition is now made
as poor excuse for the defeat.
HEAvYwEIGHTS COMPARED.
Jeffries and Rubin, the giants of the
prize ring, are unmatched in size and
strength by any other first class pu-
gilists in the world.
When they enter the ring In Cincin.
natl prepared for battle they will rep
resent NOR ebone. muscel and general
bulk than ever before has met in bat
tie for the championship.
There are fighters bulkier and heav.
ier. For instance, Ed Dunkhorst, "the
Human Freight Car" is heavier by so
pounds than either of them, but he is
not nor will he ever be in the cham
pionship class. Bob Armstrong, who
is notch or two below that class, is
also bigger than Rubin, but no two of
the great fighters of today or of the
last so years can boast such masses of
muscles and thews
Between these two fighting machines
neither of whom will carry any need
less flesh into the ring, there is q diff
| ference of 25 pounds in weight. JEFF
fries expects to weigh on the night of
the battle 900 pounds, while Ruhlin's $
weight will be 1o5 pounds.
Rubin Is longer of leg, body and arm
than Jeffries, but with the exception
of the fore arm Jeffries' development
| of every muscular part of the body is
greater. From his huge neck to his
bulky calf the champion outmeasures
his opponent, but in most instances a
fraction Of an inch covers the differ
ence. 1t is In the chest and the great
rugged muscles of the back and shoul-
ders that the champion far outclasses
Rubin, and 1t is there that at least 20

In two essential fighting qualities

those of Jeffries. His reach is longer

his forearm is bigger by one half an
