Rothwell, and then to have the final
opportunity for vengeance, just
when it was ripe. slip through his

How Young Corbett came out OF
obscurity and copied Terry right
in all his glory is a matter of an
cient pugilistic history. How Ter
ry, vainly struggling to get back
again, stacked up against Corbett
to similar issue is history not
quite so ancient. During the last
two years, however, Terry has been
apparently holding his own, while
Corbett has refrigerated to such an
extent that it now seems more than
probable that had McGovern been
Corbett's opponent recently, in
setad of Herrera, the result would
have been the same-the pugilistic
interment of Terry's old foe.

An experience befell Captain Ad-
rian C. Arson during the around
the-world trip Of the Chicagos and
All Americans in 1888 that furnish
ed amusement for the other mem
bers of the party for several days.
1t was in Cairo, Egypt. Wishing
to see the town by night, Arson
and his wife took carriage and
started for a theater. They drove
along the streets until they came
to a palatial looking structure, its
grounds brilliantly lighted, and
with colored awnings extending
from the streets to the doorways.
Hey, driver" shouted Arson, to
the Egyptian on the box, whats
going on here?"
The driver, who understood no
English whatever, replied with the
one word, "Sirdar." Arson mis-
took the reply to be "circus" and
said.
Circus, Ell? Well, that's what
we are looking fora good old
fashioned circus"
He motioned the driver to stop
and assisting his wife to alight
they started to enter the grounds
The air was filled with music, while
half a dozen perfumed fountains
made the yards seem like a flower
garden.
Pretty hot sort of a circus, l
should imagine" muttered "the old
man" to his better half. They do
things on pretty grand scale over
here. We must not be surprised
at anything we see"
The sight of number OF men
and women in evening dress failed
to impress Arson that he might
have misunderstood the driver. In
the course of his wanderings in the
spacious grounds Arson ran into
a dark. distinguished looking man
attired in a military costume OF
the Egyptian army. He gazed curl
ously at Arson, who asked:
81 say, where can we buy tickets
to the circus?"
Tickets" replied the Egyptian
in surprised tones, what tickets
and what circus?"
"Why, to the circus here" said
Arson, and his arm encompassed
the grounds in Its broad sweep.

to Mime. de Clauzei at the coronation
Of Napoleon 4. In India the very first
fans were supplied by nature in the
spreading leaves OF the lotus and palm,
but screen fans soon became emblems
OF power there also. for they are not
only mentioned in the great Hindoo
poems ~Mahabharata" and "Ramaya-
ma" but Brahma and India are repre-
sented IN the ancient sculptures at Eie-
phanta fo'owed by slaves bearing the
fly fan an>. parasol, which latter was
also considered as an emblem OF su-
preme power.
