Jimmy cIabby easily defeated
Frank Farmer in ten rounds at Osh-
kosh, Wis, landing the greater num-
Der of blows and having more steam
behind his efforts. Farmer won the
first and eighth rounds. Clabby ap-
peared to be taking it easy, merely
exerting himself enough to keep a
few points ahead of his opponent.
Matters have been quiet in the mid
dleweight division lately and will
probably remain so until fall. Then
Soldier BartfeId will make another
effort to get Mike Gibobns into the
ring for twenty-round affair. Clab-
by also has designs on Mike over the
long distance. It will do no good for
any of them to fight the st. Paul man
an abbreviated battle.
Like Freddie Welsh, he is a master
of the short game and can show up
any of the present crop. Gibbons
has never engaged in battle sched-
uled for more than dozen ROUNDS.
And man cannot be stamped real
champion on, that record.
It was too hot in ST. Paul, Minn.,
for Tom Gibbons, brother of Mike, to
extend himself, but he managed to
outpoint Billy Mislie. Tommy, at his
present rate of progress, will soon be
the equal of his more famous broth
er. In the same show Mike ORDowd

Tennyson's well known aversion
to sightscers and their ways gave
rise to many an odd experience.
Once, it is said, he complained to
Queen Victoria, saying that he
could no longer stay in the Isle of
Wight owing to the tourists who
came to stare at him.
The queen, with kindly irony,
said that she herself did not suffer
much from that grievance. But

RECRUITING sERGEANTs.
They Wero Picturesque Figures tn
England In Former Days.

1t was in Dutch Williams reign,
with the rcconstitutien of the army
and the rise Of the 2inc regiments,
that the recruiting sergeant first be-
came notable figure in England
and throughout the campaigns Of
Marlborough and Wellington = in
deed, until after the Crimcan war
he flourishcd exceedingly. He found
his way into the popular literature
and the ballads Of the eighteenth
century, appearing always with a
bluff manner, powerful voice and
a pair of immense top boots. He
was, in fact, a stock character Of
comedy.
The classical work on the sub
ject, the fountain head Of ali mill
tary humor, is George Farquhar's
old comedy, "Thc Recruiting OiTi-
cer," dating from the time of Queen
Anne. Here are Captain Plume,
the most dashing Of adventures,
with fine Judgment in recruits Of
either sex, and Captain Brazcn,
who was present at all the battles
in Flanders and had two and twcn-
ty horses killed under him in one
day; and Mr.. Justice Balance, who
laments the scarcity of news from
the front: 'Look zee, captain, give
us but blood for our money, and
you shan't want men"
But Sergeant Kite eclipscs them
all. He has the true art of the re-
cruiting speech: "If any gentlemen,
soldiers or others, have mind to
serve her majesty and pull down
the French king; if any 'prcntices
have severe masters, any children
have undutiful parents; if any scrv-
ants have too little wages, or any
husband too much wife, let them
repair to the noble Sergeant Kite,
at the sign of the Raven in this
good town of Shrewsbury, and they
shall receive present relief and en-
tcrtainmcnt.
Gentlemen, don't beat my
drums here to cnsnarc or invcigle
any man, for you must know, gen
tlcmcn, that am man Of honor.
Besides, don't beat up for com
mon soldiers. No, list only grcn-
adicrs, gentlemen. Pray, gentle
men, observe this cap. This is the
cap of honor. 1t dubs a man gen
tlcman in the drawing of tricker,
and he that has the good fortune to
be born six foot high was born to
be great man."
1t is Kite who cnlists an, attor-
ncy and is rcbukcd by his captain:
can attorney! Vert thou mad
Discharge him, discharge him in
stantly. ! will have nobody in my
company that can write. A fellow
that can write can draw petitions" +"
1t is Kite who cntraps two yokelq
by gift of "Thc Queens Portrait"
on silver pieces. 1t is Kite who
turns astrologcr at pinch and tells
fortunes, predicting the enlistment
of his clients. Thomas, the black
smith, he finds, was "born under
Forceps," and his plan of the con-
stellations has topical interest at
the present time, being "Lco, Sagit-
tarius, Forccps, Furncs, Dixmude,
Namur, Brussels, Charlcroi and so
forth-twelve Of 'em." A wonder
