Some of the old carols date back as far
as the twelfth century. Like much else
that is artistic, they appear to have had
their origin in France. One Of the most
ancient of these carols is the Pros de

ular festival called the "Fete de Pane"
in which ceremonial a richly caparisoned
ass, bearing on its back a young maiden
with a child in her arms, was led through
the cities of Beauvais and Sens, In com
memoration of the flight into Egypt.
Both in Germany and in England the

Battling Nelson
Lost to Britt

San Francisco, Dec. 21.-At the end
Of the 20th round Tuesday night, with
Jimmy Britt of San Francisco and
Battling Nelson of Chicago fighting
like q pair of bulldogs, the gong sound
ed the end Of the contest, and Referee
Billy Roche unhesitatingly placed his
hand on the California boy as the win
ner Of the contest. In the closing
round Britt raj punching the Chicago
boy all yer the ring, but his blows
lacked sufficient force to put a 'quietus
on his opponent. The fight was an ex-
duplication Of how much punishment
a human bieng can receive and not sue
Dumb. At several stages Of the fight
Nelson was badly punished, but he al
ways kept gamely coming up to the fir
ing line all through the 20 rounds and
only once did he have the local boy in
distress. Britt's excellent g~eneralship
and the advice of his seconds saved
him from going too close to the danger
point.
Nelson is unquestionably a wonder
Of the pugilistic world. Time after
time, after taking blows heavy enough
to put out an ordinary fighter, he
would come up apparently in his earl
Ter form and bring the fighting to
Britt's territory.
Referee Roche announced that he
gave the fight to Britt on cleaner hit
ting aud the greater number of points
scored, and a retrospect of the fight
bears out the business Of his decision.
Although Nelson did most Of the lead
ing, Britt displayed the greater ability
as q boxer, and his blows were cleaner
and more forceful, while a majority OF
the shots fred by Nelson were at close
range. Nelson was sadly deficient in
long arm work, and most of his at.
tempts to reach his opponent while
both men were free were Intellectual.
The house was n of the largest
ever seen in San Francisco and it esti.
msated that the fighters will divide
nearly $40, 900 between them. There
was no visible MARKS of punishment on
Nelson with the exception of some
slight puffiness about the eyes, but
Britt's face was bleeding in several
places from the force of the blows de-
livered by Nelson in the clinches.
When Britt was seen in the dressing
room after the fight he had this to say
"Nelson is a great big slugger with
plenty Of ability in that direction, but
without the knowledge of how to Us,
it. I fought as I did to secure the
championship and protect my friends
money. I I'm still champion Of thu
wolrd, and I mean to retain it,"
Nelson had this to say:
1T had all the best of the fight
Britt was breaking ground and holding
on continually. Referee Roche made
no effort TO break Britt except to Civ,
me the worst Of it. I will fight Brit
