F.; "A Fight With a Panther""; "An Historic Walking Match"; This Pig";; For the Glory of St. Mary's. fine foot ball tale. There is enough of adenture and humor to please boys, and those who are serious minded will find some things to keep them busy in the more than fifty items devoted to cshool travel, biography, electricity. mechanics, amature journalism, and other boy hobbies.
 It will b e hard to find a boy who can not find something of interest in this number of the American Boy. For variety of contents and profusness of illustration it sur passes any of its p e d ssors.
