The evenings fes- tivities opened with a grand march led by Master Allen Levystein. little son of Mir. and Mrs. Henry Levysteln, gracefully assisted by Miss Anteinette GreiL little daughter of MT. and Mrs. Ben Greil. The march under the d. rection of Prof. Weissner was one into which many interesting and beautiful as well as novel figures were intro- duced, and the army of little pleasure seekers went through them with the precision of a company of soldiers. The graceful winding of the intricate lines made a beautiful sight for the speeta- tors who were present.
 dance program feliawed the grand march and during some of the figures beautiful souvenirs were presented to each of the children.
 During an intermission the children were formed into marching line once more and were led into the banquet hall on the second foor where re- freshmeRts were served and where the floral adorning of palms. ferns and car- nations and other cut flowers. added to the beauty of the scene.

The blow which knocked out Corbett was a revelation to the prize fighters. From the earliest days of the ring the knockout blow was aimed for the jaw, the temple CT the jugular vein. Stomach punches were thrown in to worry and weary the fighter, but if scientific man had told one of the old fighters that the most Valnerable spot was the region of the stomach, he'd have laughed at him for an ignoramus.
