Erne has a national reputation as
one of the fastest boys in the country

wins over such men as Charley Neary
Spike Robson, Young Corbett, Johnny
Summers. Tommy Quill, Jimmy Bonner
and many others substantiate his
claim.
Johnny Thompson. who will oppose
Erne. earned his cognomen of "Cy-
clone by his whirlwind style of box
ing. and his record compares favorably
with that of any lad il, the game to-
day. His battles with Battling Nelson,

rounds of the fastest milling ever

McKinnon of Roxbury, who seems to
have improved with every bout he
boxes. and Sailor Brown of New York,
who enjoys an enviabe reputation in
his home town. This bout is slated for
eight rounds and should prove hum

Haiti is described by Rear-Admiral

Haiti is described by Rear-Admiral
Colby NJ Chester as a "degenerating
island" and he presents facts to show
that Haiti is falling back into a con-
dition of barbarSm. 1t is getting
blacker and blacker. the white element
having been practically exterminated
or removed from the island. 1t is
the one country in the world where
white blood is at a discount. Woo
docism is still practiced. and Admiral
Chester tells of an officer of the United
States navy who stumbled by acct
dent into a voodoo meeting held in the
thick woods with horrible ceremonial.
After being threatened with death he
watched for good opportunity and
ran for his very life, not stopping until
he reached the protection of his ship.
This officer has to his credit one of the
most gallant deeds enacted during the
Civil War, but his comrades on board
his ship said they never saw man
more frightened than he was when he
returned to them. and he himself says
the memory of the event produces a
horrible nightmare which he will never
be able to overcome.
