Critic Was Much of a Clown.

In regard to Griffo, can only say
that I did not have an opportunity, OF
Judging the young man S merits when
he was at his best ! did not see him
in action until he had passed his hey
day, and then only once or twice IN
events for which he had had no train
ing and seemed little concerned as to
which way the decision went.
He had degenerated into Queens
berry clown at the time of which l
speak, and was more fired with the
ambition TO make the spectators laugh
than anything else. He retained suffi-
cient of his hardness with the gloves
to make things interesting for his op-
ponents. but his blows were of the
mushy order. and his defense not near
ly so complete as it had been IN for
mer years.
Whatever he might have been earlier
in his career, Critic was certainly more
of trick performer or juggler when l
saw him.
So far as Griffo may figure in a dis
cusscn Of this kind, L would prefer to
PASS the question on to other critics

ROAD BUILDING BUSINESS.

Some time ago a committee of rep resentative citizens had subscribed fund amounting to about $12,000, to be paid out on the building of high way from Hot Springs to the Garland county line east of the city.
 Every dollar of the subscription was given on the theory that Little Roek-H6t Springs highway would re- suit. Little Rock had built from that city west to the Pulaski line, and more. Saline county had improved through it's county. Only Garland county was lacking.
 The Garland county building work was to have been finished i'll time for the state fair, but it became apparent that the road bed would have to be changed, and that the work on tue new proposed route could not be com pleted by state fair time, so the work was postponed.
 There is evidently nothing stand ing in the way now The money is subscribed and available. The road scrip could be issued, and the money taken and used The new road could be laid out now, and within a short while would be open for travel-prob- ably by January 15, when it should be opened at the latest date.
 One good iong road out of Hot Springs would probably prove It's value. It is believed by many that if Garland county had good roads the visiting population would be increas- ed. Many believe auto owners would bring their cars, and spend more time here in the mild winter season.
 One good road for a distance out of the city, would at least serve as a test. The proposed road can not Ge built in a day. It will take several months to cut out and open for travel a road over the four or five mile pro posed change in the route. So if the improvement is going to be made at some time. and the money is availa- ole, why not NOW?
