MGOvERN'S NEW IDEA.
Little Fighter Will Warm Up Before
the Contest

Bridgeport, Conn.,, Aug. s.-McGovern
will introduce an innovation when he
meets Young Corbett" at New London
August 20. 1t will be a warm-up before
the fight.
Before a trotter is started in a race
he is given q warm-up," said Terry's
manager last night. Yes; and so does
bike rider take warm-up," broke in
Terry before he starts to race"
If warm-up is a good thing for a
trotter and a bike rider" continued the
manager, why isn't it just as good for
q boxer?
I'VE have decided that it is. At any
rate, it can do no harm to give Terry
couple of twO-minute rounds warm
up. and it may result in making him so
fast the moment the gong sounds for
the battle to commence he will get to
Corbett quick and end the battle in a
couple OF rounds. No boxer is as fast
the first round as he gets after two
or three rounds of boxing"
McGovern is now within a pound of
weight, and spends most of his time in
training to get fast and accurate in his
fn-fightins.

Brooklyn's representative on the All
American Bowling trio, which will tour

through the entire series without an
error of any kind, and also made seven

decided to book no more games after

CHEERS FoR THE QUEEN.
Incidents of Their Majesties' Visit to
st. Edwards Chapel

then Joined their older relatives. Gem
eral Kitchener, with his hands on the
shoulders of a little page, was conspic-
uous amongst these.
The first to appear from the chapel
was the queen. AS she passed between
the ranks all the mobiles bowed low, the
queen acknowledging their salutations.
When her majesty reached the nave,
some one shouted Three cheers for the
queen" and the old abbey rang with
cheers as the queen slowly passed into
their seats and shouting with as much
good will as any of the crowds in the
streets.
Nearly 10 minutes later the king
emerged from the chapel, still wearing
the crown and carrying the sceptre and
rod He smilingly bowed to the peers
and pages. While his majesty was still
near the altar some one in the gallery
shouted Three cheers for the king. .
There was a feeble shout but no one
took up this unorganized demonstration
A somewhat awkward pause followed
This, however, was quickly atoned for

the whole vast throng rose and hur-
rahed at the top of their voices. Until
the last man in the procession had dis
appeared in the annex the cheering
was continued. The king bowed and
smiled, evidently delighted with his re-
ception and then the organ and orchestra
played God Save the King" and the
spectators poured out in desperate and
frequently fruitless search for the car

betters whose wagers were hanging in
the balance. The fact that Chainshot

on Thursday in the 2:07 trot did not
scare the followers of Geers. and The
Monk ruled about 25 to II against the
field. Geers had little difficulty in get
