CHANTBERS-CL
 BOUT WAS AMONG
 HARDEST EVER FOUGHT.

$ Although the records of the light weight division of American boxers are usually given as; beginning with Jack McAuliffe, who was the first champion under Queensberry rules, there were several American title holders in that class long before the
 man from Cork put on the gloves. Abe Hicken,, Pete Mcclure, Billy Ed wardss Arthur Chambers, Johnny H. Clarke, George Fu1ljames, Charlie Norton. Jimmy Mitchell and Jack Dempsey were among the HghtWeig ght stars during the fifteen years preced- ing McAuliffe's rise to the champion ship Of these little heroes Of the bare knuckle and skin glove days, Ar thur Chambers was easily the best.
 It will be thirty-six years tomorrow since Chambers last defended his title in a battle that was among the long est and hardest ever fought In number of rounds fought it surpassed even the famous Burke-BoWen battle in New Orleans in 1898, when the Irishman and the mulatto IigFtw ei ght pounded each other for 110t rounds. The opponent of Arthur Chambers in that historic encounter on March 27, 1879, was Johnny Clark, and they battIed 136 rounds before Chambers was declared the victor. The bout was for the title and belt held by Chambers, and was fought with the raw 'uns at 133 pounds ringside.
 Clarke fought like a demon and several times during thes1ong struggle it seemed that he would triumph. In the end the superior stamina and 1 cleverness of the champion prevailed. Chambers retired from the ring soon afterward and the title which he had held since 1S72 was permitted to 1 lapse, and was claimed by George F'uIljames, the Canadian, Charley Norton and Jack Dempsey.
 Arthur Chambers might well have claimed the lightweight champion ship of the. world, as he won the American title by defeating Billy Ed wards, who had whipped Joe Col1yer, the English lightweight champion. Chambers has been referred to by some sporting writers as the author of the famous rules attributed to the Marquis of Queensberry, but this is a mistake, as it was John G. Chambers who doped out the code which now governs the pugiIistic game.
 | Chambers held the lightweight title for seven years and retired undefeat- ] ed. Both of his two greatest battles were fought on Canadian soil. His fl ght with Edwards, by which he an- nexed the titles was staged on an isl I and in Lake St. Clair. It was pretty
 much of a fake, as Edwards, a slim, graceful boxer, was having all the l best of the argument when the sturdy

LITTLE OPPOSITION s TO sIOO, 900 BILL
 ON MOSQUITOES
Health and Safety Commit tee Will Make Favor
 able Report.

Hartford, March 26.-The commit tee public health and safety held a field day Wednesday,. The need of legislation for drainage works was made apparent. to the committee by
 W. E. Britton of New Haven. MT. Britton said two years ago over D. 600 acres of marsh land were drained
 by private enterprise. The cost was about $2,70O and it was raisd by pri- vate subscription. Most of the breed- ing spots are on private lands. Both salt marsh and fresh water lands are
 breeding spots. Malaria is transmit ted through mosquito bites and to cluean up the breeding spots is a state
 duty. The salt water mosquitoes mi
 grate at least thirty miles inland for
 food.
 The pending bill gives sole author ity, over the mosquito destroyers to
 the Connecticut Experiment station of New, Haven.
 The committee was informed that
 only $100.00O expenditure was asked of the state. This amount would practically clean up the marshes and the additional annual expense would be borne by the towns. The cost of maintenance would be- about four per cent. of the original law. pr. Head1er of New Jersey stated 1 that his state had over 200, 900 acres of salt marsh land. Today New Jer-
 sey spends over $175,O0 annually for | m 1osquito control. Property along the kshore has increased to over $5,O0O,OO0 in value. Health conditions have
 greatly improved and the general condition is better.

Belgium to keep a close watch on car rfer pigeons took his instructions so seriously that he ordered the civil au- thorities in his commune to take a census of all such birds in the dis trict.
 The burgomaster, who had a sense of humor, provided not only a census but a biography of each pigeon, which was followed by accident and health reports. It is said that the names read like a roster of the German inn perial family and the leading army officers.
 There are many pigeons in that commune and the commander was soon overwhelmed with reports of the most intimate and personal nature re- garding the birds resident therein. He declined, however, to rescind the or der.

THE EASTER CONGREGATIONS.

There has always been a pleasant fiction that big crowd turns out Easter Sunday morning to see the new spring millinery. But certainly the men are not dragged from their peaceful homes on any such motive. They would not know an Easter hat if they saw one. let alone the tques- ton distinguishing 9, 1915 model
 The women attend church anyway. The men are of course busy reading the Sunday paper. The women have nothing to do but to get three meals. study the Sunday school lesson, teach a Sunday school class. write a paper for the missionary society during the week, and superintend the meeting of the Junior Endeavor. Hence it, is no sacrifice for them.
 It is like moving mountains into the sea to get the men, or the ma jority of them, out to church. Theo- retica1ly they admit they ought to | the previous week, more or less aug mented by sporting events evenings, leaves them in a condition of pros tration Sunday morning.
 What happens Easter Sunday morning in the majority of homes is something like this; Wife tells Illus band that he ought to go to church
 more. Husband admits it Wife says the present is the time to be- gin, that the choir will have special l music, and the minister has been practising his sermon all the week. This has only. a partial effect. Wife 1 says that the whole town will be l there, a. grand psychological bluff.
 Husband stirs uneasily, concludes he must go sometime. and would better take the day when the greatest num- Der of people will give him credit.
 Hence the unusual attendance that l cheers the minister.
 Church only takes about an hour 1 and a quarter. Husband would find
 his Sunday dinner tasting much bet ter if he would repeat the experience. Also Wife would find the house less
 smelly of smoke!
