Harry of the Orpheums retreated to

grass Johnny Campbell of the famous

BRITT SHOULD BE FAvORITE.

Nolan, il is said, intends to unload his
bank roll on Nelson, and why should he
want to place the coin at even money,
when odds may be obtained? Britt has
earned a decision over the Battler, cake
walked in his bout with kid" Sullivan
and if form and class can. be applied to
fighters he should be the favorite.
In the last encounter between Britt and
Nelson much stress was laid by critics
on the holding tactics indulged in by
Britt, when the two boxers were clinched.
Granting this, why do referees permit
butting? Nearly every boxer that ever
met the Dane complained of being butted
Young Corbett and Herrera being among
the number. In their last meeting at
Mechanics Pavilion Britt received a Sc
we're cut over the left eye, due to a butt
from Nelson's hard skull, but he made
no complaint to the referee. When he
met Bowker, the American champion
Frank Neil was cautioned by the Eng
nsh referee for boring in on his opponent
with his head, and competent judges say
Nelson would not last two rounds across
the pond without being disqualified. This
matter should receive the attention Of
Referee Jeffries. to prevent future COM
plications.

handled the indicators and both escaped
without suffering bodily harm.
And now it appears that Billy Nolan,
manager for Battling Nelson, is worried
over the prospect of Jimmy Britt ruling
favorite in the betting for the big con-
test on September 9. Credit should be
given Billy for springing a new one. So
convinced is Nelson's manager that there
should be no choice in the auction pool
ing that he wagered 800 with a we'll
known turfman the other evening that
the Dane would sell equal favorite with
the Californian.

THE NEW CHINESE ARMY.
Reorganization Taking Place Under
the influence and Training of
the Japanese.

1t has been decided by the Lien
Ping Chu, or Chiense war department,
at Feking, that for the future the new
army of China is to be known as 1he
standing army of the empire, says a
New York Sun writer.
The old Changpei banner army be-
comes the First division under Gen.
Tsao Kun, with headquarters at Pao-
tlngiu, IS miles southwest of Peking
in the province of Chilli. The former
First division becomes the Second, IN
der Gen. Chang Huaichih, headquar-
tiers at Chenan, and the late Second
division is remembered the Fourth,
under Gen. WI Fengling, headquar-
tiers at Machang. The Third division
remains unchanged, and is command
ed by Gen. Tuan Chihkuei. The for.
mer Fourth becomes the Fifth division
under Gen. Tuan Juichei, and occupies
the Imperial Hunting park south of
Peking The late Fifth, now Sixth, di-
vision is stationed in the province CT
Shantung, with headquarters at Tsi-
nanfu, under Gen. WI Changchun;
and the former Sixth, now Seventh, di-
vision is stationed at Chentingfu,
about 70, miles southwest of Paoting-
fu, both places on the line of the Pc
king Hankow railway just opened for
traffic
1t will be observed that the new or
ganization OF the Chinese army is in
divisions after the model of the
Japanese, and that those already
formed are all in the north of China
grouped about the capital, the division
in Shantung covering the road leading
direct to Picking from the German
northumberland railroad. The young
Chinese officers, who, having completed
their military studies in Japan, lately
retui ned to China, are, with the Jap
anese instructors, placed at the dis
posai of the Chinese government,
busy organizing and training the new
levics.
The troops of the province of Szech-
uen raised and organized at the time
of the invasion of Thibet have al
ready seen their first war service.
Those sent in July last to Batange on
the Kinsha river, which forms the
boundary between Szechuen and Thibet
al that point, for the purpose of avelg-
ing the death of the Chinese assistant
resident, Feng Chuan, gained a de-
cisive victory over the Thibetans at
a place called Ehrlangtan, and sub
sequently occupied Tingpa, position
on the road into eastern Thibet.
