By JESS WILLARD.

New York. March cit was short
fy after q O'Clock this morning wfieu
| woke up. A glance at the sky
convinced me that some sort of "A
storm was ready TO break. Calling
to Monahan and Hemple, l got them
to shake Off the blankets and slip
into their running toys.
1t wasn't later than twenty minutes
after that we hit the street that
led into Central Park. Being rested
up immensely after the easy Sunday,
/ went out at a hot clip. There was
nothing encouraging In doing road
work this morning. for everything
seemed to be splritless and heavy. No
sooner did we finish a lap around the
reservoir than we struck out for the
Drive. which promised to be more
lively.
Up the Drive we logged until we
struck Grants Tomb. When we
passed that famous spot ave threw on
the high speed and started home like
90-horsepower auto. We went up
and down those hills as If posse
were at our heels. so that when we
arrived at the hotel all hands were
dripping with perspiration.
We hustled up to our rooms as fast
as the lift would take us. Then all
of us cast off the muddy. wet clothes
and got into good hot bath.
Review Work of Week.
! For nearly two hours we reviewed
the past week. and l want TO say for
both myself and my partners that we
were perfectly satisfied with the way
matters are progressing. 1t is ask
ing too much OF any man to get right
down to lighting shape in six days OF
training, but l win say that the past
six days have done me a wonderful
lot of good.
I have taken off a few pounds, and
taken them off without the least bit
Of difficulty. My eye has sharpened up
considerably. and / know my foot
work has become faster. My three
advisers agree with me that this Is
all ] could desire.
After finishing with this part OF
the program. the consultation went
on TO consider plans for this week.
1t was agreed that the boxing would
be increased to eight to ten rounds
and that plenty of bag punching
would be an asset as far as develop
ing speed in swapping punches.
In boxing ones partners 1t is the
natural thing to pull your punches,
which isn't the best thing In the
world. After a few more days OF
worf, the men that box me will wear
heavy rubber headguards, which will
enable me to be more free with my
blows.
when this was all settled 1t was
decided to engage George Rodel as
sparring partner. This liz rather
strange, in a way, for the Boer was
one Of my hardest antagonists before
I conquered johnson.
Last Fight I'm Atlanta.
My last nght with Rodel was down
in Atlanta, Ga, and every person who
was present will admit 1t was the

Offers to Build Machines

WASHINGTON, ov. 80. Bids for
the construction of 14S seaplanes for
the army were opened at the war de-
partment. The prices range from
$4,000 to S2s,500, a machine, while
there are wide variations In the speed
and climbing power which the max
ers are willing to guarantee the ma
chimes to produce.
The Benoist Aeroplane Company
of Sandusky o., made the lowest
price, offering to construct all the
machines for $4,000 each. This
company, however, guaranteed a
speed of only sixty-five miles an
hour and ability to climb 5000 feet
in ten minutes.
The Buffalo Aeroplane Company
guaranteed speed of ninety miles
an hour and ability to climb $500 feet
in ten minutes. This company, how
ever, wants s14,57O apiece for 50
machines and s17,475 for four ma
