This bout is notable only as marking the beginning of the pugilistic career of Nick Ward. the "yellowcst" fight CT who ever aspired to championship honors. Nick was a brother of the game and lion-hearted Jem Ward, who held the British title for many years. and of John Ward also a famous pugilist of that day. Nick 8 defeat of Lockyer put him in line for higher game, but his battle with Sambo Sutton, the negro, proved that he was coward through and through Nick had everything but courage, and he was giving one of the best displays of boxing ever wit messed when Sambo landed on his nose and brought the clarot Nick immediately laid down. Later he whipped Deaf Burke. and this put him in the running again but Burke at the time was on his last legs. In a battle with Ben Gaunt Nick's tactics of falling at every proNocation so en- raged Ben that he struck a foul blow, and Nick became champion. In re- turn match with Gaunt he quit so shamefully that his own brother, Jem, joined in hissing him.

INVEST IN CARPENTERS.

Would the earth cease to revolVe if
the Chicago contractors refused to
accept any more work? Would Chi
cago die if the building contractors all
took a sudden notion to die on the
same day? And why is.it a person
with few thousand dollars to invest
first looks up gold mine stock in pref
erence to something more substan-
tial?
For instance! In Chicago there
are about $4,000 carpenters. Out of
this vast amount of mechanics one
can select at least 500 who are the
real brains of the building industry.
In other words, men who can tell
within few dollars what the exact
cost of a building will be and who are
able to figure the exact amount of
material it will take to erect the
building.

The land could be rented at basis
of 6 per cent on it's present value,
payable yearly in advance, rents to
