augusta, Me.
Dear Sir-While home this summer
I became interested in the picture con-
test. Ny school has just opened and
! would like to have my school enter
the contest and use the money if we
are so fortunate as to get a prize to
help pay fer our piano.
If 1t is fair for the school to enter
the contest will you kindly send the
ready reference book and the book to
paste the pictures in, together with
all the pictures to date.
F. A. G.
The editor heartily approves of the
Idea and would like to see other
schools do the same thing. There is
nearly a month in which to work and
by the united efforts of the school you
should be able to catch up" wiwth the
other contestants A similar plan was
advocated by the editor early in the
contest.

FITZ HAS A CHAMPION.
DreIcl Biddle Believes COrnis b man
should Get HIS Chance.

Rob Fitzsmmons, in his desire TO come
back to the ring. has found a champion In
A. j. Drexel Biddle of Philadelphia, who
is a first class amateur boxer and liberal
patron OF the sport. Fitzsimmons caused
n ripple OF excitement recently when he
offered to night any OF the white hopes
now before the public. A local club ar
ranged bout for tie ancient Cornish
man, but the State Athletic Commission
stepped in with an edict preventing old
Fitz from taking part in glove battle
within the boundaries Of this State.
Other boxing commissions and promo
tiers have followed the example OF the
New York solons, with the result that the
once mighty champion heavyweight Of
the world hnds himself shut out on practi-
cally every hand. But Mr.. Biddle has
come TO the front with novel suggestion
which may bear fruit. He believes that
a glove battle between Fitzsimmons and
Kid Mccoy or Philadelphia Jack O'Brien
would result In no harm for the reason
that In point Of physical condition the
men would be well matched. MI Biddle
also believes that the old fellows would
show many of the fine points In boxing
