The early rounds were filled with
flashes of Johnsen's former wonder

In a fine exhibition of sportsman

it over again with Battery A.

awkwardness of his opponent.
In many respects the fight resulted
just as many predicted, Willard and
his friends particularly prophesying
that IL the battle lasted twenty rounds
Johnson could not win. This was
based partly on the BELIEF that VIII
lard could stand al the punishment
johnson could infiict, and partly on the
doubt as to Johnson's condition and
his ability at his age to fight long

height, weight, reach and youth.

hands OF his faster and more skilled
opponent, and he had trained to with.
stand It As q matter Of fact, he took
twenty rounds Of severe punishment,
but laughed the blows aside and kept
standing up against the rushes of the
negro, who several times in each of
the earlier rounds swept Willard be-
fore him to the ropes. Wizards back
showed numerous welts raised by the
ropes as he fell into them.
In the rushes Johnson would attack
Willard on the body, and when the
latter,s hands and arms came down
to guard that part of his anatomy,
johnson would swing rights and lefts
to the unprotected jaw and face. After
each of these attacks Willard cheer
fully came back for more.
Johnson's continual grin through
the early rounds began to change to
a look of wonderment as the battle
turned into the twenties, and it was
evident to the spectators then the
negro came to the conclusion that it
was useless for him to try to knock
out the young western giant Johnson
also seemed to know that he was in
no condition to fight forty-five rounds.
His blows lacked the force which sent
Jeffries topping from the topmost
rung of the pugilistic ladder at Reno.
It had been the opinion of Johnson
and many Of his friends that he did
not have to be in the best condition
to whip Willard, undertaking the lat

In these rounds Willard took a

Producing Beef in New England.
(Kansas CITY Times.)

\ syndicate of Boston capitalists has
bought $4,000 acres of land i'll Maine
for a grazing ranch and is going to
put 5000 Western cattle upon it to
breed for the Eastern market. If the
experiment works out successfully it
may be duplicated in different parts of
New England, where land is cheap and
the soil suitable for grazing.
There is no likelihood, however, that
the Eastern states will get back into
the livestock business on a scale large
enough to have any important effect on
the supply of meat, because areas are
so limited in comparison with the vast
Western agricultural domain and cost
of production is so much greater than
the Western cost. Iowa alone produces
more than 80 times as much corn as all
of New England, and it takes corn to
make good beef.
The price of beef in this country is
high enough to attract an occasional
shipment of beef from South America
Lately shipment arrived at Boston
from Brazil. 1t is not likely, however
that the importations will be large
enough for many years, if ever, to
make any important difference in tho
supply. The 100000 900 persons in the
United States will continue to depend
on the West for their meat supply.
