against, but the manner in which the
sport is now being conducted, espe
cially in the big clubs in New York
is as creditable as baseball, our grea'
national game, or as polo and tennis
to which we are giving 50 much at
tention just now. Boxing has always
been all right, just as prize-fghting
has always been all wrong Men read
in the newspapers about boxing
matches and enjoy it hugely who
would not care to have front seat
and tab at the show itself.

Frequently a number of Newark
business men have told me how well
they have enjoyed the accounts OF
boxing bouts, and in the same breath
declared: And l would have rel
ished very much being there, but
you know, it wouldn't look well from
a social standpoint" That is the
only thing against boxing-it doesn't
look well to be there. Yet any night
of big fight in Madison Square, OF
any other of the big New York clubs
you can pick out without half trying
some of the best citizens of New
ark, and surely any number of the
leading business men and social lead
ers of Gotham. 1t is the point OF
view, of course. But those whose
appetites yearn for boxing and refuse
to yield to it are only cheating them
selves.

VIII you tell me if there are any
premiums on a twenty-cent piece of
1875, ten-cent piece dated 1927 and
a half-dollar of 1858 with eagle on
back? }. j.
There are no premiums on the first
two coins you mention. An 1853
half-dollar without arrow-heads at
date and rays around eagle is worth
from $50 to $50 However, 1853 half
dollars with arrowheads and rays
are very common and bring no prem
ium.
