The bishop of Liverpool, speaking
at a prize distribution, incidentally
drew from the recent Welle-Carpentier
fight an interesting lesson, which par
ents would do we'll to observe. With
a smile his lordship remarked that he
knew very little about boxing, but he
had read an article in a leading Lon.
don journal on the progress OF that
memorable. fight. From this he gath
cred that the secret of the French.
mans victory was that he evidently
used his muscles and his brain, where
as the Englishman apparently trusted
almost entirely to his muscles. The
result was that muscles and brain
won, and he impressed upon the par.
ents the value of the combination 1t
would be to the benefit of the nation
to have a strain of boys with robust
health and well-trained minds.
