Amidst the tawdrness the racket and the
allen squalor of our modern Whitechapel road
stands quiet. tidy, old Georgian house, and to
one side Of 1t oldfashioned, oak-shuttered Of
fee, the London Chronicle says Behind this
assuming exterior there STILL In fact prospers
the Oldest established business Of any kind in
England" and that business" is bound UP with
all that is highest and hottest and most endeared
to the national heart. For over the door, in plain
English-a refreshing change from the Yiddish
posters that flare in the shop windows all around
we may still read the simple legend, "Mears &
Standards Bell Foundry. Established 1870"
Here then-or at any rate, not far away
while Shakespeare was still schoolboy and
two centuries before Schiller had arrived to i'm
mortalize the bell in splendid song the eternal
emblem of mans ascent from earth to heaven
there was being nodded the worlds mightest mu-
sic by just such honest, supplemented fellows
may be seen even busying themselves by
pit and furnace In the actual foundry beyond
little courtyard
To tell the exact truth the original foundry
OF Queen Elizabeth's time was just across the
way. 1t was moved to its present site in 1888,
the existing house being at that time a country
inn called the Artichoke, standing then among
pleasant fields. Without break from that day
to this, though proprietors have changed once or
twice. the work of bell founding has gone on be-
hind those quiet walls. The list of famous bells
that have been, as one might say, born" out Of
dull earth in these lowly precincts is almost be-
wildering For, indeed, at the present moment,
there is only other important foundry In
England-that, namely, of Loughborough--devo-
ted exclusively to bellmakng.
Thus the famous Bow bells" themselves, In
reality among the sweetest and truest in the
world, were made at Whitechapel. The present
tenor" as the deepest bell of peal is always
called, was cast here in 1898 It weighed 2h
tons and it itself replaced bell from the same
source that had been founded In 1863. The legen-
Diary bells Of Whittngton's time can, of course,
hardly be laid claim to.
Among other noted Whitechapel bells are the
great bell Of Westminster. weighing over 13
tons-the largest ever cast In London; the CLOCK
bells" of ST. Pauls, hung In $780, and still In use:

Worlds Oldest Be11makers

York minister, which for a time the largest
bell In England, and, not least. the great bell In
Montreal cathedral, weighing Il tons and the
largest ever shipped-a significant ambassador
of old faith to new world.
Quite apart from the eternal poetry that has
woven itself around the being and becoming OF
bells, there Is hardly an industry that has about
1t a more individual charm. These men Of the
Whitechapel foundry are no mere journeymen
mechanics They have been bred to the work,
most of them from their earliest years. The art
of bell founding Is handed down from father
to son. In the Whitechapel foundry there
are fewer than three generations Of one family
working side by side today and five generations
of the family have worked there-the grand
father for 45 years. the great-grandfather for
more than half century.
People who talk of 'jangling" bells as being
unmusical have certainly no honest bell founder
to blame, for no bell be unmusica unless 1t
is badly made or badly rung. Indeed, every great
bell has to be perfectly proportional in shape.
size weight and thickness that each part OF 1t
shall sound rightly differing note and that the
result shall be perfect chord In this way
while the zip" which the clapper strikes gives
out the fundamental note" the waist" must
sound third higher, the shoulder" a fifth higher
and the top Of It the exact octave. So the whole
bell gives out a chord of which each note fades
into the other. 1t Is this harmony that fingers
in the and gives the bell Its peculiar magic
After the bell is founded, II it sounds sharp
anywhere, It can, with great care, be filed down
by an upright lathe till the right tone is produced
IL It sounds fiat nothing can be done and it is the
ambition Of bell molders to turn out bell that
shall be exactly right as 1t comes from the mold.
1t is pleasant to hear that in spite of all new
tangled cynical objections this sacred old indus
try is still fourishing. From the Whitechapel
foundry bells have gone forth In their hundreds
In these last years to every quarter of the world
from Buenos Ayres to Quebec from Calcutta to
Colombo, from Hongkong to Tasmania Even
America--with As per cent import duty-has
come to England for its BELLS One OF the largest
recently made at Whitechapel will doubtless
sound as sweet In the ears OF Chicago as did the
bells Of Fulham to Queen Elizabeth when che

silver river.

Those miners down in the Idaho
city seem to be some bowlers. Wal
lace ran away with the Spokane
team yesterday again. In Satur-
days game the Spokane men only
had three of the team down in time
to play the first game, SO that the
two teams were made up among
the Idaho men of three men each,
and Spokane's three went up
against them, but in two games
Spokane lost both times. Last
night Spokane took the first game,
but lost the last two. jenkins Of
Spokane hung up high score at PIP
and high average at 100. In the
afternoon the team from Mullan
lost handidly to the Spokane men,
1888 to 24O9.

BY the way, Barney Oldfield

SPORT SPICE

GOSSIP

LONDON: With the sport under
Jockey club rules past, we shall
hardly see contest without jumps
this quarter. There is strong
desire to revive these flat races,
on the ground that they give anna
tours chance Of riding in public
in an unambitious manner. and
that some of them may train on
and take to riding over a country,
as it were. These events got a
very bad name, and it is to be
feared that the name was deserved,
but there is a much stricter super
vision of National Hunt sport now
than there used to be, and if p
vein of amateur talen is to be tap
ped, many would be glad to see a
revival of the once discredited
stakes, Notwithstanding that a flat
race usually appears bit tame in
the midst Of races over a country
and over hurdles. The diminution
in the number of gentlemen riders
is mainly due to the discourage
ment of the sport by the military
authorities. They prefer book

and the preponderance of these

Giant Boxer Has Won Place as
EngIand's Best Heavy-May Be
"White Mans Hope"
BY Fred Boalt.

LONDON, Dec. 12.-Take it from
one who has seen him fight, when
the time comes-if it ever does
for Bombardier Billy Wells, Eng
lands BEST" to meet Jack Johnson
for the championship of the world,
that large and capable colored pus-
son will have to go some to hold
the title.
Wells licked the whole bloomin'
British army, one by one, in India,
before he. bought himself out of
uniform and came to England a
few months ago, to be a pro.
He went to Wonderland, in
Whitechapel, and begged for a
chance in preliminary. The audi
ence laughed at the tall, thin boy
with curly hair and the face of a
scholar, whose name they had
never heard. He was matched with
Corporal Brown, burly, heavy,
rough-and-tumble fighter, with
more ring experience than boxing
science.
Brown went to sleep in the first
round.
Eugene CORR. the referee Of the
National sporting club, heard of
Wells, who boxed several times for
him in private. Then Corri said:
1--WE have found at last in Eng
land a heavyweight worthy of the
name. Wells is England's best"
Since then Wells has fought
three times in the elimination
series" promoted by Hugh McIn-
tosh and Jimmy Britt, to find "the
best white man." His opponents
were Sergt. Sunshine .(whom Sam
McVea made short work of a lit
tie later), Private Voyles, cham
pion of the army, and last, Seaman
Parsons, champion of the navy and
conquerer of Voyles.
I saw those three battles, and
Wells won them all. He has never
been beateN
He knocked out Sunshine in the
sixth round.
He knocked out Voyles in the
ninth round.
Upon both occasions he was suf-
fering from nervousness and stage

fright. 1t was the general opinion
that Parsons, the strongest man
that could be brought against him
would give Wells a tougher contest
than did either Sunshine or Voyles
and probably defeat him. But the
bombardier did not suffer from
stage-fright the third time.
And Parsons lasted minutes Ia
seconds.
Wells has won all his fights by
knockouts.
He is 20 years old. g.
He is 6 feet 3 inches tall.
He weighs 100 pounds, but can
carry 220 without being fat.
He is as light on his feet as a
dancer.
His reach is 70 inches.
He spars as daintily as a bantam
but hits the way mule kicks.
His next opponent will be Bill
Lang, champion of Australia. If he
defeats Lang he will go after
Tommy Burns. If Burns is disposed
of, he will challenge Jack Johnson

NELSON WAS NOT

Battling Nelson has contended
ever since his fight with Moran
that Referee Selig did not count
the full ten before calling him out
on that memorable afternoon, and,
despite the fact that every news
paper man, and everyone else who
was watching the affair distinctly
heard Selig count the tenth NUM-.
Der, the fight pictures, shown at
Frisco for the first time the other
night, distinctly show that Selig
raised and lowered his arm but
nine times. So Bats" little howl
will now be heard from ocean to

cited as showing the justice of his
contention.
