not a cent more.
In less than two hours Davis got
the property for si00. 600. and made "A
splendid bargain. After everything
was settled and the money paid over.
Davis said:
Why did You ask me $1,000. 900 for
that land?' The seller replied:
Because l thought you'd be fool
enough to give il. Why did you offer

allowing the punch TO meet the hollow

But il wouldn't do for an ordinary
man who is constantly exercising to
have such stiff joints. The chances
are that before long one of the bones
in the wrist would snap and becorfIe

There is no harm in repeating that

see that we are kept pretty busy.
one of the reasons why an instruct
or is able to hold out aga inst his pupils
is that he never wastes any blows aud
is careful to nurse his energy. In this
way he does not spend any unneces-
sary strength. and being in fine trim
from constant exercise. is able to
stave off the most rugged man.
i have Il number of clever pupils. In
fact, many are capable of holding their
own against any amateur or profess
sional fighters in the country"
About seven years ago Donovan's
powers of endurance received IA genu-
inc test At that time his best pupil
was Fred Winthrop. Winthrop, ac-
cording to Donovan. was Il perfect
specimen OF manhood. He stood six
feet and weighed. in condition, ITS
pounds. He was an ideal athlete and
had won the middleweight and heavy
weight championships of Harvard.
Donovan is popular with the profess
sional pugilists and many seek his ad-
vice regarding training and the proper
delivery of effective blows.

Mike Donovan, whose hair is now
snowy white. and who might be called
old if one judged him merely by his
rounds daily and never complains of
that tired feeling. Donovan is instruc-
tor of the swell New York Athletic
club, and his duty is to box with all
members who are anxious To perfect
themselves at the fighting game. Re-
Gently Donovan found four aspiring
members waiting for him. but it did
not feaze the old man He simply
Gid. Boys. take your turn and an
- later, when he had satisfied the
lunch. he inquired if there We're any
more looking for trouble
Donovan has been boxing instructor
of the New York athletic club since
1885. and the four youths with whom
he boxed are his best pupils. Although
i'm his Goth year. he is vigorous
a man half his age. Donovan went to
the club as the middleweight cham
pion of the world. and pra ctically re-
tired with his title unchallenged.
Donovan does not regard it as re-
markable for man of three score
half that age with the gloves. He
thinks that anybody who knows any
thing about boxing could do the same
thing, provided he led a regular life
and possessed good physique.
Donovan points with pride to the
fact that he is mere youngster COM
pared with other boxing instructors
who can still hold their own in any
fair pugilistic company. He particu-
larry refers to Prof. Van Slack. who is
said to be n his S5th year.
Van Slack was teaching the manly
art when l was mere kid, said Dom
Ovan. and is still at it today, l am
told. He is strong. hale old man and
as clever as they make them. But Van
Slack never fought in the ring, as some
other instructors ! know of. A person
must have some ring experience to
make "a successful teacher. The ring Is
an excellent school for endurance and
gives you chance to study training
methods and develop speed
