Who Fluked In Langford- By W. W.
Kaufman Fight, A Question NGughton
Some Prize Ring Dope That Is Authoritative.

San Francisco, Cal, Aug. 27.-It was
something like playing a new role for
Sam LangfOrd to declare himself out of
the match with Al Kaufman so uncere-
moniously at the last moment. Lang
ford, since the writer has been watching
his career, has been mixed up in many
matches that went glimsmering but as
rule it was the other fellow who broke
away.
Such being the case. the desire to
know just what was in the wind at
Philadelphia is general. We have heard
a great many versions of the affair
some of them varying considerably
and about the only other thing that
these who have expressed themselves
are unanimous about is, that the edium
attaches TO Langford and his manner.
WOOdman, if he is correctly quotel,
says he will tell the whole story some
day, form of statement which is gen
orally used as a threat to silence cap
tious critics and which gives no promise
of enlightment later. 1t would be a
good idea, providing Woodman has any
thing to tell. if he could be persuaded
to strike the iron while 1T is hot.
Version of the Collapse.
In the meantime, out of the many
versions of the collapse of the Langford-
Kaufman contest, one hitherto imprint
ed in its entirety has been heard in GER
tain quarters in this city. 1t bears out
some of the things already told. It
has it that Langford, at the 18th hour.
was threatened with molestation on the
part of the police if he did not extend
himself fully when he stood up before
Kaufman. 1t says that Kaufman
strangely enough. was as we'll prepared
as though he was about to engage in a
45 round go for the championship.
whereas Sam. who had only looked for
ward for a good old cIatter of the slap
stick variety. was far and away from
a good condition. 1t says that Wood
man and LangfOrd saw they were
trapped and that they just drew out OF
it the best way they could. The story

is repeated no reply for whatever it Is
worth.

In monetary way, Sweep, James r.

palm with s22,625. But Sweep only
started five times to win that amount,

Horsemen, who at first appeared dis

that Kentucky opens up a very lucra-

of racing in the Blue Grass state this

Changing Ideas About
the Fourth of july

works began to have a place In the
celebration. These were harmless and
simple compared with the ~nerve-shat-
tering explosives which are put on the
market today Not only were they
less dangerous and noisy, but their
use was restricted to a comparatively
small number of people. Those who
were unable to get fireworks got out
their muskets and shot them off.
Others fired improvised
Even blacksmiths got III their anvils
and by placing powder in little holes
were able to touch 1t off so that It
made a satisfactory amount of noise.
With the increase of the noise came
the decrease in the patriotic orations
and prayers. Before the fiftieth cele-
bration of the day had been observed
noise had almost entirely supplanted
oratory.
The question today is, how should
the Fourth of July be celebrated? The
manner in which it is celebrated,
many declare, is not in entire keeping
with the spirit Of the day nor the
comfort and pleasure of the majority
of citizens.

getting the claims of the young.
There should be civic banquets, gath
erings at which the progress made in
all lines during the past year could be
reviewed. There should be oratory
and speeches in every community,
with an effort to make the celebration
more like the early ~observances.
There should be professions, but
they should be less military in char.
acter than formerly. And, quite as
important, there should be no mon
ster concerts and entertainments
where nobody has a good time, but
divers assemblages where every one

ushered in with martial music and

that the Fourth of July celebration
this year will be a radical departure
from the old-time methods of honor
ing this suspicious day. The terrible
loss of life that has accompanied
every Fourth of July celebration In re-
cent years is the cause of this legis-
lation.
The present generation does no re-
member that during the latter part of
the eighteenth century, and even
during the greater part of the nine
tenth, there were no such fireworks
and explosives as are used today in
celebrating the anniversary of indie
~pendence. Our forefathers in knee
breeches and powdered hair celebra-
ted the day chiefly by patriotic
speeches and dinners. Every club,
every society and organization met
around the festive board and honored
the day in song and story.
The nature of the speeches and
dinners varied with the locality, but
IN one respect all were the same.
They agreed absolutely in the number
of toasts. 1t was the custom to have
thirteen toasts-representing, of
course, the thirteen original states.
With the admission of new states this
custom died out, probably because the
banqueters were unable to drink so
much.
Parades in the larger towns we're
features Of the celebration during the
early years of the republic, but the
principal part of the celebration was
the banquet and its oratory. In re-
cent years, however, there has been a
|, great falling of in the exuberant quail
ties of patriotic oratory and the day
has been celebrated with mere noise.
The prophecy of John Adams has
: come true: The day is celebrated
with pomp and parade, with shows,
games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires
and illuminatOns from n end of the

has seemingly passed away forever.
