Britt landed right and left to the jaw
and easily avoided the Dane. Go
in came from the crowd. The Dane
obeyed but was met with left to the
face. Britt sent blood squirting in
stream from Nelson's mouth with
left.
Round 1S-Britt crossed his left
to ear and then shot his right to
nose, a left hook to the mouth started
Nelson to bleeding again. Britt sent
a straight left to the face and then
swung his right to the jaw. A straight
left to the mouth was followed by
two right swings to the same place
and the Dane was forced to owe up.
Britt staggered his man with right to
head and then sent a left hook to the
body. Britt staggered Nelson as the
bell tolled.
Round 19-Nelson's eye was near
ly closed at the end of the last round.
Britt sent Nelson's head back with
straight left to mouth. Crowd Kissed
Nelson for what they believed to be
butting. Nelson forced Britt around,
but Britt stopped him with a we'll d.
rected left and right swings to the
jaw. Finally at close quarters Britt
landed right that looked wicked
enough to put out any ordinary man,
but Nelson W. tiinched. Britt
fought very cautiously never endang-
ering his chances to meet the Dane at
too close quarters.
Round 20-They shook hands and
fought hard at close quarters. Both
held on and were pried apart by the
referee. After some clinching, Britt
swung the chief offender, and Nelson
drove a wicked right smash to the
jaw. Nelson appealed to the referee
about Britt holding on and then they
mixed it %furiously, Britt having the
better of the mid-ring rally. Britt
drove Nelson to the ropes with sew
eral lefts. Nelson tottered about the
ring helpless. Britt went at his man
like a maniac and almost sent Nelson
to the ropes with a right to the jaw.
The gong rang at this stage and saw
ed Nelson from a certain knockout.
Nelson went to his corner vomiting
and Britt was given the decision after
this round,

Fight BY ROUNDS.

Britt was the first to enter the
ring. The crowd set up a wild cheer
as the native son clambored over the
ropes. Nelson entered the ring two
minutes later and he Immediately
went over to Britt's corner and the
two shook hands heartily.
Round Nelson was short with
two rights for head; Britt drove his
left to the body and followed it with
left to face; Britt sent Nelson tot
tering back with a terrific right TO
the jaw and Nelson almost went to
the floor. He was up quickly and in
fighting position; Britt smashed right
and left hard to face and then hooked
hard left to body; Nelson closed in
but Britt cleverly protected himself
from the Danes onslaught and they
clinched, Welsh separating them;
Nelson after the break swung wildly
with left for head and they went to n
clinch as the gong rang.
Round 2.-TNelson skipped up
quickly and Britt shot his left high II
the body; Britt then hooked his left
again to the body and swung left
twice to the Danes head; they closed
in and at close range Nelson upper
cutted twice with right to body;
breaking, Britt shot his left with
great force to the stomach, after Mel
son had driven hard right to face;
Nelson sent his left to face; at close
range Nelson whipped right and left
to face, Britt retaliating with left to
stomach again and then swung his
left to the Battler's ear. In the mix
up Britt swung his left hard to ear;
Nelson's right ear bled as the Dane
went to his corner.
Round 3--Nelson walked in with
left to the face and at close quarters
drove his right thrice over the kid
neys. Both missed some forcible
blows and after some sparring, Britt
sent Nelson against the ropes with n
right and left to jaw. The Dane came
back, fighting viciously, only TO re-

and they mixed 1t furiOuSly in the
center of the ring, Nelson getting
much the best of the argument, his
short arm iolts counting. At the bell
Britt rallied and drove two blows to
the face.
Round NELSON forced Britt to a
neutral corner, and the men fought
shoulder to shoulder without damage.
Britt swung twice with left to face
and Nelson, leaning his head against
Britt's shoulder walloped the Cali
fornian several times with right and
left uppercuts. Nelson then sent his
left twice to mouth and Britt split
blood. Britt got in two lefts to the
face, but Nelson forced his man to
the ropes. Clever footwork, however,
enabled Britt to wiggle away from
harms way. They fought to the cen
ter of the ring and exchanged a vic
ious fusilade of short arm blows to
head and face.
Round 6-Britt missed left for
body; Britt then swung left and right
lightly to the head after breaking
from a clinch. Nelson jabbed left to
Britt's sore mouth and Britt sent the
Danes head back with a left hook.
Then they mixed it, Britt doing much
clever ducking and smothering. Mel
son put his left hard to the body and
Nelson barred Britt with three ter
rife uppercuts TO the jaw. Britt
fought back desperately and in mid
ring mix, both landed fearful right
and left wallops to the jaw and face.
1t was give and take they throwing
science to the winds.
Round They exchanged lefts to
jaw and then followed some might
ing in which Nelson invariably ex-
celled. Nelson forced his man about
the ring and against the ropes, but
did not land. He followed this up
but did nothing. Britt swung right
and left to the jaw and backed away,
not daring to venture into close quar-
tiers. Nelson then forced Britt
against the ropes, landing almost at
will. Britt landed a terrific right to
the head. Nelson landed right and
left to Britt's face. Joe Cans induc-
ed life into the contest by rising in
his chair and audibly shouting,
Good boy, Jimmie"
Round S-Each missed left swings
and Britt continued to back away
from Nelson. Apparently he sought
to fight at long range. Britt, back
ing away, received a left to face.
Britt staggered Nelson with a left
hook and short right arm jolt on the
jaw. AS Nelson missed left swing,
Britt brought the blood from Nelson
nose with three hard lefts to that or
gan. Then Britt backed away and
continued TO pepper Nelson's face
with lefts and rights. The Dane
shook his head and went in all the
time without, however, raining the
showers Of blows to the face.
Round 9-The crowd cheered Britt
as he rose. They went in close and
Britt backing off shot two lefts to the
Battler's face. He followed 1t up
with a left to the jaw and a right to
the same place. Nelson, m%addened,
fought back hard and landed twice
with left to face. Nelson nearly slip

Editor Advertiser: In connection
with the editorial note in yesterdays
issue which referred to various school
matters, would draw attention to
the figures given by Mr.. Rabbit in his
report, published as part of the Gov

page 73 of said report it is stated that
during the year ending June 80, 1906,
the public schools here were attended
by the following number of pupils, viz:

In other words the taxpayers of this
county were saddled with the care and
expense of looking after 243 infants
who ought to have been attached to
their mothers apron strings, and were
paying for the instruction of 597 pupils
over the regular school age, most of
whom, ought to have been earning a
living for themselves in the field or
workshop.
In above mentioned report it is stat
ed that in some cases teachers have
to instruct classes of over sixty chill
dren. This may be the case in one
or two instances, but the average size
of class taught by each teacher is
much smaller than sixty. During the
year ending June 80. 1906, the terri
torial public schools were attended by
1919 pupils who were taught by 435
teachers. This gives about thirty
seven pupils to one teacher, and if
these pupils who are either under or
over school age be excluded from the
above total of 1919 pupils. the aver
age number of pupils to one teacher
would be thirty-five only. The daily
average number Of pupils actually
taught by each teacher would be con-
siderably smaller even than thirty
five. possibly about twenty-five
