Both Anxious to Win
Burns is exceedingly anxious to re-
deem his showing against Jim Barry
and as the winner will meet the big
Cbtcagoan on October 19, Doc Gene
Jeffrey's protege will be seen fighting
with every ounce Of his strength and
skill. Big and long as Burns Is, ne
will give away weight to Billy Harts
fighter. Sieberg, the lad with the
name which sounds like a sausage fac
tory afloat after the north pole put Is
also synonymous of bulldog pluck ana
determination. has a wallop concealed
in those big mitts that would cause an
educated mule to worry. He has Deen
a terror to his sparring partners IN
the last fortnight of work at JACK
Doyle's, and his trainers were ready
TO call it plenty when the last siege
of boxing was over. Jack is serious,
hard working young man, carries
around with him whole lot OF amDI-
tion and talks very little. He failed
to enthuse much over the bout yester-
day, Just after putting the finishing
Touches to his training, but in his
stolid way he allowed it to be UNDER
stood that he considered himself a
cinch to win before the tenth round.
Good PreIims Carded
Burns wound up his work at Ven
ice, Though he has scaled down to
1873 pounds. Jack is in splendid condi-
ton and will be faster than when he
met Barry. He has prof1ted immense

representative.
The list of preliminaries is Of un-
usual length but promises to be suffi-
ciently interesting to prevent weari-
some waiting for the main event. In
the semi -windup, Gene Sullivan will
make his fourth straight appearance
at Maud Junction. Sulliyan's speed
and gameness have made him a
Improvement in each succeeding en-
counter. Tonight he will meet Charlie
Norvel, the Montana lightweight. Nor
vel will have to show vast betterment
over his showing with Kid Brady be-
fore he will class with Sullivan, but
as Charlie is fast and has a clever
iab he may make things interesting
for brother Gene.
San Pedro to Front
Kid Cleveland and Billy Cappellt
will go six rounds. Cappelle is a Sar
Pedro boy who has been winning sc
consistently in the seaside city that h.
has been given a chance at bigger
game. Cleveland's cleverness is well

less Billy can force the issue and out
rough him, San Pedro will be minus
another champion.

appearance since his eastern trip in a
battle with Kid Rees, a newsboy fight

have learned a lot and will try out his
new tricks on the newsie. In the open

ADuIR4L BEREsFoRD'S PLAIN TALK.

Lord Chfrles BeresfOrd'S speech at the A1er-
chant Taylors Hall was i'll some respects happily
disappointing and in most respects gratifying
but it must he confessed that it left the problem
of naval rivalry very much where it was, if in
deed il did not further emphasize the increasing
prospects Of a redUctiO Gd dbsudbm as the ulti-
mate solution Those who expected some senSa-
tionaI utterance, some personal onslaught upon
his enemies in the Admiralty or some chauvinis
tie vaticination against Germany were disap-
pointed His implied criticisms of his chief op-
ponent in the Admiralty We're scathing and de-
structive and as Enthusiastically direct as though
he had applied them by name and title: but
they were all carefully kept within parlia-
mentary bounds. Nor does he appear 10 have
snoker a word which could give even the most
S1lpersensitiye German cause for offence His
address was marked throughout with that tenn
perate restraint which is one of the most i'm
preSsive characteristics of conscious right and
mastership
Our London correspondent in his special cable
dispatch described the speech as startling 1t
certainly was. but it was so only as clear and
convincing statements of supremely important
facts are startling, though the facts may be
old as the hills and AT least potentially familiar
10 every schOolboy who can add up a column Of
yures Nothing indeed could be more startling
to Englishmen who regard British control Of the
seas as of vital Importance than the simple state
ment that another power is building warshlps
more rapidly. has greater facilities for building
them and is spending each year many millions
more on naval expansion than Great Britain.
Yet that statement Is merely citation of I'M
disputed statistics from the year books. The
plain fact is that for the first time since Trafal-
gar British supremacy at sea is seriously i'm
perilled, and the question is presented whether
in pursuance Of It's recent policy the British
government shall permit the United Kingdom TO
become the second naval power or shall at any
cost return TO the former policy of making and
keeping it the first
IN this there is no essential hostility toward
or dstrust of any other power. Germany has
as much right 10 build warships as Great
Britain and the building OF them is no more
necessarily Indication Z hostile intent on
one side than on the other Neither we may
add is there any more "hysteria" in the de-
mand that Great rtain shall remain the first
naval power than in the demand that Germany
shall replace her in that rank II would be
illogical and foolish to say that while there was
no offence in GerI any's trying 10 catch up with
and TO surpass Great Britain there was of
fence in Great --rit ms trying TO keep ahead Of

who was afterward chief justice of the state; ;
another iurist JabeZ, who also served III the
United States Senate, and Jedediah, a general
in the Continental army Intimate political and
social relations existed at that time between
Norwich and the neighboring town of Lebanon,
birthplace and residence of Jonathan Trumbull,
Washington's Brother Jonathan" The record
of Colonial days was nOby maintained when the
Civil War broke out. Splendid contributions or
men and money were made to the Union cause,

came from the circumstance that Norwich was
the home of COnnecticut's War Governor
William H. Buckingham. In Norwich also lived
the scholarly and patriotic Lafayette 3 Foster,
who for the two years succeeding Lincon's as

ate and subsequently adorned the Supreme Court
bench of his native state.

extensive commerce with the West Indies, but
for at least half a century has been known prin-

largest in the country. The manner in which
tie preparations for this weeks observanceS
were made furnishes a fine example Of energy
and taste for many a larger city. 1t illustrates
anew a spirit of enterprise, of which one OF
several other evidences is the fact that the first
building in this country erected solely by and for
the use of Free MasOns was put up in Norwich.
Add to these credentials the circumstance that
because of its beauty it has long enjoyed the
unchalenged title of The Rose of New Eng

thinks its anniversary worth celebrating.

Of July 10, 1853 beginning with his reference to the
Declaration, of Independence and ending with his
memorable Climax: L leave you hoping that the
lamp of liberty will burn in your bosons until there
shall no longer be doubt that all men are created

Does it not occur to you that the eyes of MANY
