OF red ants. He had just returned
from Jack County. in that State. where,
In the 'lnyons and hills. he had been

In the afternoon Of one day he en-

did not dare 10 touch or even 20 near

inches in length and Of a rather green

end of which he split, and, by dexter
Gus manipulation, secured the taran-
tula between the prOEgs, which, com
ing together. held it tight enough TO
prevent its escape, but not enough to
injure It.
He repaired with It TO a hill Of iarge
red ants. which he had passed on his
tramp n short time before. In the mid
die of the hill he deposited the taran-
tula, releasing it from its imprison-
ment.
1t was a rather chilly day. and but
few ants were out of their holes. but
these few gathered around the stran-
ger, looked at it closely for a brief mo-
ment, and then, one by one, hurriedly
entered the different holes within
which were their domiciles. The tar
antula meanwhile was mOtionleSs, oc-
casionaliy blinking its small, sharp
eyes, but not deigning to glance upon
the small insects.

|JABEz WHITE MAY
MEET JIMMY BRITT.
Both Fighters are Anxious to Ar
range a Match for a Good
Sized Purse.

San Francisco, Dec 27:-It is likely
that instead of a return match be-
tween Jimmy Britt and Batting Mel
son there will be two fights. one be.
tween Britt and Jabez White, the
English champion, and the other be-
tween Nelson aud Young Corbett.
Britt is not yet ready to take on
another fight with Nelson, bat has
expressed himself as being perfectly
willing to meet White. White, for
his part, would gladly come over to
this side if a satisfactory match could
be arranged. -
On no condition, however, will Britt
fight in England. He realizes that
there is little money to be made in
fighting across the water. For the
present Britt will not talk pugilistic
matters. He wishes to forget.all about
1t until after the Christmas holidays
are over. Then, in the absence Of
suitable offer with a bout with White,
he will come east and fight s~ix-round
contests in Philadelphia and other
eastern cities.
Battling Nelson is not letting the
grass grow under his feet. In failing
to receive a reply from Jim Britt us
to whether he will again fight Nelson
for the lightweight championship.
Alex Gregeains today virtually sue
ceeded in matching the Dane and
Young Oorbett for another fight In the
latter part if January. 1t is thought
that if White aud Britt be matched
the winner of that fight will meet the
survivor Of the Nelson. Corbett contest.

CANDLE N OUT.


Down FOur Times.
PORTLAND, Nc, Dee. 2T.-Willie
Lewis surprised all the fight followers
of this city by the way he disposed of
Candle. The latter did not have a
chance with the New Yorker at any
stage and was completely outclassed
both in %cleyerness and punching abil-
ity. The men had just shaken hands
and stepped back when Lewis jabbed
Candle with his left and followed in
stantly with a right that sent Candle
down for the count. He regalncd his
feet only 70 go down again from that
terrible right of Lewis.
The second round was, a repetition of
the first, Candle taking the count twice,
and just before the bell Lewis knocked
him through the ropes.
In the third round Lewis sent the
Fall River man down twice. The
fourth and fifth were easily Lewis.
A minute after the ninth round start
ed Lewis right came over with crush
ing force OH the point Of Candles jaw.
He regained his feet at the count Of
nine, only to be sent down again, when
he was slowly counted out.
