More than a thousand years ago
there was a great city In central Africa
which was the capital OF the empire
or the Songhais In the Nigerian Sudan
The empire OF the Songhais was the
largest and most powerful black en-
pire which ever existed. The city OF
Koukiya carried on trade with, Egypt
under the pharaohs. Even after the
fall OF the empire Koukiya was a very
important city. but about $50 years ago
1t was utterly destroyed by the Tou-
aregs. and its very site was forgotten.

Educational Limitations.

Under the old educational system ey-
cry American college used TO exact n
hidebound course. The young man
who was a candidate for the Il. A. de-
gree had to take just so much of mathe-
MATES, so much of languages, so much
or the sciences, so much of philosophy
so much Of this and that and the other
thing. But now our college systems
have become broadened. The elective
system" is in vogue. Great educational
leaders have come to the logical and
right conclusion that what Is meat for
one brain may be poison for another.
Charles Sumner was one of the great
est men America ever produced, but il
was simply an impossibility for
Charles Sumner to grasp mathematics.
AS result of this deficiency Summer,
one OF the greatest OF all Massa,
chusetts' scholars, was unable to grad
uate from Harvard college When my
father graduated from college Howard
Crosby, then a professor In the New
York university, declared he was the

Up to the seventeenth round Cor
belts advantage was apparent. but in
that round Britt rallied and rained
right and left blows on various por-
tons of Corbett's anatomy, forcing the
champion to clinch to save himself
The styles of the two boxers were
entirely distinctive. Britt fought for
the body most of the time, while Cor
bett devoted his attack to the head,
face and jaw. Britt weighed just 129
pounds; but Corbett's weight was not
made public, though it is understood he
was at least a pound and half below
the agreed weight-130 pounds.
After the fight Referee Eddie Graney
said II simply gave the decision to
the man who had the best of the fight
San Francisco was fight mad. Not
since the good old days when Jack
Dempsey and Peter Jackson battled for
fame and fortune in this city has such
intense and universal interest been
displayed, nor has the pugiIistic world
witnessed such stirring scenes as those
which were enacted at Woodward pa
champion featherwefght, Young Cor
bett, of Denver, and Jimmy Britt faced
each other to settle the question of
fistic SUPREMACY. The outcome of the
contest has been the main theme of
discussion among the sporting fra
ternitv for weeks. but it was the all
absorbing topic in all circles, and for
the time being events of national and
International Importance We're suhordi-
mated to the general division of opinion
as to who of the two stars possessed
the greater championship qualities.
The climax. was reached when the
doors of the newly remodeled Wood
ward pavilion, with it's limited seating
capacity, were thrown open to the pub
lie. All the morning, afternoon and
during the early hours of the evening,
a vast throng had stood in line await
ing the sale of general admission tick
cts. BY nightfall the line had been
augmented by thousands. Street car
traffic in front of the pavilion was
seriously hampered by this line, which
extended several blocks in either di-
rection. Mounted policemen were COM
PEELED to use their clubs to preserve
anything like order and at this they
were swept aside like so much chaff
before the wind. Finally, when the
rush had subsidized somewhat and the
police had stopped the sale of seats
it was estimated that as many persons
had been unable to gain admission to
the auditorium as were assembled
within it's walls. When the bell sum
moned the principals in the main event
| to the center of the ring there were
about 5000 people in attendance. The
club officials stated that the receipts
totalled about $4,000, which is the
fighters of Corbett's and BIRTHS cali
bre. Included in the assemblage were
prominent sporting men from all ovel
the country.
Both pugiIists weighed in at Harry
Corbett's saloon and, as had been pre-
dfcted, failed to bulge the bar at the
100 pound notch.
Britt's exact weight was 129 while
| that of Corbett was not given to the
public. So great was the crowd which
assembled at the weighing in quar-
ters that the principals were incon-
venienced and some delay caused OF

thoroughfare of the city, traffic of all
description was brought to complete

ton of people.
There was little change in the betting
situation Corbett was pronounced
favorite at odds which fiuctuated from
N 70 To 10 to 512. At $50 p m the
indications were that owing to the IN,
crease of Britt money the odds Woulo
go to 10 to I.
The betting which had been apathetlc
considering the importance of the con-
test and the tremendous interest dis
PLAYED therein revived with a sudden-
ness that literally swamped the pool
sellers. Corbett wagered $z,5OV against
81. 500 that he would be returned the
winner, while Britt placed $oOO against
5000 on his own chances.
The majority of spectators figured
