Joe Choynski's fall before Kid Car
ter was another case of a good old
veteran who didn't know when he had
had enough.
Although Joe has yet to see his
thirty-fourth year, he is. pugilistically
speaking, an old man. He has been
boxing professionally since 1886, and
during that period met all the leaders
of the heavyweight division. Con
slant and arduous training has robbed
him of stamina, speed and ability to
stand punishment. This was painfully
evident after the first minute OF his
bout with the tough youngster from
Brooklyn.
Choynsli started out like winner
and inside of fifty seconds had Carter
staggering like a seasick dromedary
But it was only flash in the pan, a
momentary exhibition of Choynski S
old-time form. His strength ebbed
away swiftly, Carter rec:perGted as
only youth can. and in few seconds
more Joe was lying insensible on the
padded floor.
Choynski's milling days are over;
he has fought many a good fight, and
can afford to rest on the laurels won
in the past. His record, although II
contains few defeats, is stainless as
far as reputation goes, and his name
will live in the annals of glovedom as
Dne OF the gamest men and best ring
generals that ever answered the sound

CXcling in Cuba.

Havana. Cuoa, will ultimately be
the Mecca of the cycle racing men
each winter, providing the present
plans of the board of control of the
National Cycling Association do not
miscarry. The arrangements for the
construction of a cycle track in Ha-
vana are now being made. Chairman
Batchelder and c. Ross Klesterman
of the board of control, are now in the
south. perfecting arrangements for a
southern loop for the grand circuit
next fall along which the leading
riders will travel to Tampa, thence
taking boat to Cuba.

were cut into thin discs and used for

In presence of these fragments, the

ant discovery made by the Cavaliere
Giuseppe Pedercini-the finding Of an
other "emissarium" Of Roman CON
struction, at a lower level than the
present one, through which the over
flow of the lake is drained.
Between the two levels, the ancient
and the one in actual use. it is eX-
pected that the ruins of the villa of
Julius Caesar will be found. Its dis
covery would solve several archaeolog-
ical problems which are not explained
at the present time.
The lake of Nemi, which fills the
crater of an extinct volcano in the
larger sister lake of Albano, one of the
loveliest of the many lovely scenes in
the vicinity of Rome. Seen from the
grounds of the Villa Sforza-C -Cesarini,
which overhang its steep banks on one
side there are few sights in the world
SO attractive. and fewer still that pos
sess so historical an interest.
The lake of Nemi is four miles in
circumference at the waters edge. A
temple of Diana at one period stood in
the little plain between the lake and
the tiny town of Nemi, which stands
on the ridge or lip of the crater. The
late Lord Saville, while he was Brit
ish ambassador at the court of the
Quirinal, made a contract with the
proprietor of the lake and its sur
roundings, Prince Orsini, for the right
to eXcavate on the site of the temple
of Diana. the ambassador to bear all
the expenditure and the proprietor to
receive half the objects discovered. At
that time the existence of the ships
lying on the bottom of the lake was
well known.
