N u" INV ~ INN Mai W A|DA>AZC
DAY EVENING, AND HIS ADDRESS ON
SIBERIA PROMISE TO ECLIPSE ANY
SOCIAL EVENT IN NEwTOwN FOR
SOME TIME
Newtown and Newtown people are
to be greatly honored in the coming of
Hon E. J..Hill, Congressman from the
Fourth District of Connecticut, next
Wednesday evening. July Is. Many in
vitations have been sent out, and &C
ceptances are already pouring Tin with
enthusiasm and interest. Mine Host
Leonard will no doubt think that his
popular Inn, although planned on a
generous scale, is not yet equal to what
Newtown may do. An informal recep-
tion will be held in the social hall of
the Inn from 8 to O'Clock, and at the
latter hour seats will be taken about
the banquet table. AS the seats are to
be assigned at the table by card, it is
necessary that all invitations be re-
sponded to before Monday evening,
July IA. Mr. Hill has won an enviable
reputation as an off-hand speaker; and
in his worked-out and finished address
he has few equals. He has shown him.
self to be keen observer of men and
things; and Siberia, the lonely, cold,
wonderful Siberia, has given him
great theme. Immediately after re-
turning from the adjournment of Con-
gress to his home in Norwalk, Mr. Hill
very graciously wrote to the commit
tee on Ladies' Night in the Mems
Club, saying that he recalled his en-
gagement in Newtown for July Is, and
would place himself at the Clubs dis
posal to do whatever they wished. The
committee who have this evening in
charge are Rev Otis w. Barker, chair
man; Allison p. Smith and Prof
Charles S. Platt; and some incidentals
in the arrangements which they are
planning, joined with the main fea-
ture, the address, will make the 10th
notable evening indeed.

MGovERN's TALK ON FIGHTERS
He Says That Tommy Ryan Is Fine
Example of the Model PugiIist.

New York, Oct. 3O.-In the following in
terview Terry McGovern gives his impress
sions and estimates OF the topnotch fight
ers- 1t is interesting, as it shows one
fighters measure of the knights OF the
gloves:
ITO begin with" said McGovern. II
thinks that Fitzsimons is one of the
greatest lighters in the world. He is my
ideal of a fighter. He is an old man, but
at that l don't think there is a man in
the world who has a chance with him in
a six round bout That, think, is his
limit.
7 believe he could come pretty near
beating Jeffries if he went in to do the
trick in six rounds. That would be his
only chance with the big fellow.
las for Jeffries, to be candid, it aD
pears to me that he is in class by HIM
self. His strength and weight are too
much for the present heavies
'Sharl1ey came very near being a great
fighter. AS for gameness and willingness,
Sharkey has no superior, but, unfortunate
" he lacks two of the most essential quail
ifications of the boxer-coolness and
science. Since his defeat at the hands of
Jeffries, sharkey has gone down the line.
He has been beaten by Fitzsimons, and
Rubin has taken his measure twice.
1T is too bad that Mccoy doesn't pos
sess more weight. He has the punch, and
as a ring general it is doubtful if he has
an equal.
Cool and calculating from the time he
enters the ring to the end of the battle,
Mccoy is apt to carry off the honors. He
came very near taking Sharkey's measure
when the latter was at his best. One
noticeable thing about McCoy's style is
that he can use both hands most effective
ly, and as a hard punisher he can be
closely compared with Fitzsimons.
Jim Corbett is the superior of them all
when it comes to science. but the former
champion had not the hitting power be-

Tommy Ryan is d great man at his
weight and IS a fine example of the model

he put Carter out recently he surprised
even the most conservative.
