the LIGHTS
WENT OUT.
Tubby Dixon's Upper Cut
Puts Eddie Taylor to Sleep
In First Round.
Big Crowd Sees Tuesday Nights
Sparring Exhibition.

When Raymond Britton and Billie
| Chisholm, the bantam boxers, step
ped into the roped arena for the
opening skirmish at the sparring
match Tuesday night every seat in
the skating rink which circled the
ring was occupied. 1t was a big,
molly crowd, with the whites pre-
dominating. Representatives of the
400" and professional men touched
elbows with toughs and horney
handed toilers, while members of the
various churches sat vis-a-vis to, or
mingled with, the ungodly. Smoke
from high grade Havana's mingled
with that which circled upward from
the fragrant Connecticut cabbage,
and the air was smoke laden and
favored to a degree seldom secured
outside Bowery joint.
But it was sport, and sport is the
great leveler.
Brtton and Chisholm spared ac-
lively for two rounds and each Sc
cured some fine points. They eX-
hibited considerable skill. Their
work was declared a draw.
Black Willie OF Jacksonville and
f. Booker of Savannah, light
weights, then gave five round eX-
hibition which was entirely pleasing
to the crowd. Both are wonderfully
clever with their fists and experts at
avoiding punishment. Booker scor-
ed many points, but it was evident
that in a long contest he would have
been outclassed by Willie owing to
his lack of wind. He breathed
heavily at the close of each round.
The sparring of these men was for
points and the decision declared
their efforts draw. But each man
had his friends and it would take
longer contest to decide the better
man. Their work was clever to a
degree and the audience was greatly
pleased with the exhibition.
After wait of some Is minutes
the real battle, which had been ad-
vertised as a 20 round contest be-
tween Tubby DiXion, middle weight
champion of the south, and Eddie
Taylor of Ocala, was announced by
the entrance of the combatants, each
of whom went to his corner.
Dixon is heavier and much shorter
than Taylor but was the favorite in
the betting. When the men came
together it appeared quite plain that
Tayler was outclassed. But for
about two minutes there was some
pretty sparring and each of the con-
testants scored points. Then quick
as a flash Dixon let out riggt dig
for Taylor's ribs, followed it with an
upper cut jab under the jaw with his
left, which lifted Taylor from his
feet and layed him like log on his
back. AS he fell Taylor's head
struck the planks with crack. He
stiffened out and lay still, and afte r
DIR. Thomas, the time keeper, had
counted out the 10 seconds, he still
lay there. Then he was picked up
insensible and carried to his corner,
where bucket of water revived him
in about five minutes. AS Taylor
opened his eyes, he looked at his
trainer in dazed sort of way and
when told that the fight was ended,
said II could have licked that mig
ger if the lights hadn't gone out
The crowd was little disappointed
at the shortness of the fight, but all
felt satisfied that the Knockout had
been complete.

Stetson University.

DR.. Rand, an officer of the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology at
Boston, made a special visit to the
John B. Stetson University this week
and inspected the School of Mechan-
ic Arts and the College of Engineer
ing of the university. DR.. Rand
made very careful inspection and
pronounced it one of The best plants
he had ever seen. Again and again he
remarked, II could not have believ-
ed that you had anything like such
a fine equipment, such II building,
and such facilities, and such strong
courses, and that you could do so
fine a piece of work."
The boys of Florida hardly realize
that right here at their door there is
a chance to equip themselves for a
useful career, for earning big wages
as mechanics and big salaries as
superintendents. They can do ele-
mentary, advanced, or professional
work along the lines of mechanical
arts. Training begets skill; scien-
tific training gives d proficiency that
enables the possessor to increase his
income and his efficiency wherever
he works.
The Stetson School of Mechanic
Arts aims to lay u strong foundation
both in theory and manual practice
for those looking forward to work as
electricians, linemen, craftsmen, tel
egraph and telephone inspection,
machinists, tool makers, pattern
max ers, builders of machinery, boil
er makers, inventors, statesmen,
dealers, foremen, carpenters, ioiners,
bridge builders, structural workers,
plumbers, steam filters, gas filters,
mechanics, apprentice and students
In the Stetson School of Mechanic
Arts, one will see on exhibition fancy
chairs. lounges, book cases, tables,
taborets, picture frames, mirrors,
lap boards, Morris chairs, mantel
pieces made for huge fire places,
boxes for letters, handkerchiefs, and
even canoes made by the students
themselves. 1t is astonishing to see
what fine skill these boys attain in
the use of turning lathes, jig saws
band saws, circular saws and the ust
of tools. In the city of jacksonville,

ADVERTISING AN ART.
But 1t Should BE Made an Art That
Calls Beauty to Its Service.


Calls Beauty to Its Service.
Advertising has indeed become an
art. 1t remains for it to become, II moi
fine art, at least an art that calls
beauty to its service. When it does
much of the energy that is now mis-.
directed, much of the money that is
now prodigally wasted in destroying
the worlds beauty, will be saved.
The right procedure is indicated by
the most conspicuous medium for pub
lie advertising. The press, in it's daily,
weekly or monthly forms, offers alto
gether the best means for calling pub
lie attention to all sorts Of things. The
best of public journals-those which
are recognized as the most desirable
mediums for advertising and which
consequently obtain the highest prices
for their services-make it a rule to
classify and restrict in judicious
manner the advertisements that they
print. They cOnfine them to certain
parts of the publication, they restrict
their display to certain decorous styles
of type, recognizing that to admit a
helter skelter distribution through all
columns or to display them in incoher-
ent fashion according to the whims of
the advertisers would largely destroy
the very objects held in view. The
readers Of these journals would resent
the intrusion of advertising matter in
to the space set apart for news, edi-
torlals. etc, and the influence that
gives the advertising its value would
decline.
In the same way the forms of ad-
vertising that now give exceeding Of
fense to the community ought to be
restricted and kept within proper lim-
its. If this were effected the practice
would change from the public nuis-
ance that it now is to function that,
in considerable degree, might couple
genuine service to the public with a
presentation of its material in an in
teresting and even esthetically attrac-
tive fashion.-Sylvester Baxter in Gen.
fury.

A legend of an entirely different type
is connected with the same period of
During the rush for goldap the nftles
a party came west by the GNa river
route. The heat was intense. Bic sup
ply Of water gave out. On the hot.
barren sands just below Yuma the
dying cavalcade pitched their desper-
ate camp.
In the silence of the early night from
one of the wagons came the prattling
voice Of a little child lifted In prayer:
"Do, dear God, give us water, and
never will be naughty again"
And scarcely had the petition gone
up TO the stars when the sound of
running water was heard, and up from
the dry, hot sands dubbed n pure, life
giving spring.
The water Of this New river, as 1t
was called, swept north for twenty
miles, at n place spreading into Il
deep lake two miles wide, but when
migration went by the northern route,
the pretty tradition naively ends, nc
longer needed, the New rivers spring
dried up.
