Eugene Sues Vanity,

Notwithstanding the extraordinary
literary success which he enjoyed
when his works were the vogue. Eu-
gene Sue posed much more as a man
Of fashion than a man of letters After
his dinner at the Cafe de Paris he
would gravely stand on the steps
smoking his cigar and listening to the
conversation with an air of superiority
without attempting to take part in it.
His mind was supposed to be far
away, devising schemes for the social
and moral improvement of his fellow
creatures. These philanthropic mus
.fngs did not prevent him from paying
a great deal of attention-too much
perhaps-to his personal appearance,
for even in those days Of beaus, bucks
and handles, Of Counts d'Orsay and
Others, men could not help thinking
Eugene Sue overdressed.

An undeniable proof that boxing is
enjoying a rare era of prosperity in
the east, especially in New York, Bos-
ton and Philadelphia, is evidenced by
the remarkably successful career of
Jem Driscoll, who sailed for his home
in Wales the day after the Attel bout.
Successful not only in fighting sense,
but also in financial way. From the
time he shook hands with Matty Bald
win in his initial American bout until
the bell rang calling him to the center
with Attel, just three months and six
days elapsed During that period he
engaged in 10 bouts, winning all of
them on points and incidentally gath
ering in more money for the same time
than any little fellow who ever came
from the other side. He hung up two
records at the one time.
The fans in this section of the coun-
try are a discriminating set, but if
you give them the goods they will pat
ronize your shows literally and pay
fancy prices. They know what they
want and have the change to settle
They knew every time Driscoll was
carded TO box they would get a run
for their money. His first contest
proved that he was past master OF
the game and willing in all the word
implies. Hence the crowds that turn
| ed out TO see him-the better class OF
sportsmen, men in the higher walks OF
| life. His gentlemanly manners and
clean way of boxing made many
| friends for him, and it may truthfully
be said that his advent in this country
was great boon to the sport in gen
eral.
