That Prof. Pavese has made a study

very clearly demonstrates that fencing
originated in Italy, and that later 1t
was introduced in France as one OF the
court accomplishments. Upon the sub

ITALY is the home Of the fine arts,
and has been 80 from time immemorial.
So Italy is the home OF fencing. for
fencing is as much an art as painting.

ters of the sword were the first to see
that sword play could be reduced to q

this country. and is an accom-
plished master of the sword.
He is an enthusiastic exponent of the
italian school of fencing, and believes
sincerely in its superiority in graceful
ness, effectiveness as a means of defense
and athletic exercise.
The professor has had twenty-five
years experience in fencing. He is a
graduate of italian magistral school Of
Rome, was for eleven years the in
structor in fencing OF the Nineteenth
Cavalry, Italian army, and has been a
principal in twelve duels in France,
Spain, and Italy.
He is the owner of the George X.
Fox diamond championship belt, which
he is at all times ready to defend. He
hopes shortly to hold a fencing tourney
in this city in which he will meet all
comers whether of the italian or French
school, for a purse or for glory. In
addition to appearing personally he will
have with him FIVE well-known fencing
masters and pupils who will give ex-
hibitions of the various styles and
methods of the use OF the foils, saber,
and poniard.
