To those who have seen most of the
English fighters who have come to this
side, it is no mystery that Ameican
fighters are so vastly superior to their
British confreres. The average Brit

looks as though he was posing for a
other of those old-timers. They are
willing to fight. hut by the time they
are iimbered up the whirlwind Amer
leans have whipped them. Jack Kill

weight. is a case in point. He recent.
ly fought Johnny Carroll. Killeen had
the best intentions Of putting his man
away, and by all rights he should
have been able to do 1t easily, for he
was at least fifteen pounds heavier
than Carroll However, he was under
the handicap of boxing as it Is taught
and understood on the other side, ana
when he added to this certain un-
certainty of aim he was easy for Car

ON THE SIDE
AND THE INSIDF.

Trenton. Jan. Is This has been
quite a week at Trenton. The Legis.
lature has been organized for she 1890
time. and is now ready for business.
Next Tuesday Governor. Fort will
be inaugurated aud there will be a
whole lot of interested people lowering
about the capital until the new Cover.
nor has made all of his appointments
for the year.
About the first thing that will be
done by the Governor will be to name
a successor to Chancellor Magic. The
Senate will probably confirm that ap-
pointment Tuesday afternoon. That
the Governor won's name Magic. who
is 70 years old, is certain. Thsre is
some are about Chief Justice Gum
mere, but 1t won't he. The probab l.
ity is that formers upreme Cour. JUS
tice Gilbert Collins will tase the
place. For a week there has been no
Ohancery Court.
Governor Stokes met many people
this week, good many of them from
South Jersey. The Governor has no
regret that his official term is ending,
excepting ne ia saddened to lose the
association OF the boys in the State
House. 1t has been a very happy Off
cial family for three years. The Gov.
ernor was asked several times this
week about the new insurance COM
pany enterprise with which his name
has been suggested. but he declined to
talk.
One thing la absolutely certain,
and that Is there will not be much i'm.
portant legislation proposed by the
Republican Legislators for q week or
twn. Governor Fort will probably
address message TO the legislature a
week following his inauguration and
the majority Legislators are anxious to
know his views before beginning the
sessions program.
There is quite little politics in the
comptrollership fight. and it would
seem that Henry ]. West was about TO
win. And then the future will be in
teresting along that line, and Oamd en-
county will be the centre OF attrac-
tion.
