Bendigo and Gaunt in
 Historic Ring Battle

One of the greatest ring battles dur ing the first half of the last century was fought at Satfield, England. 68 years ago today between w. Thomp- son, who fought under the name of Bendigo, and Ben Caunt. A4 Bendigo had been the champion of England for 10 years, having had little trouble in defending the title against all com ers until he met Ben Caunt in 1849. The latter was a giant in stature and 'could withstand a tremendous amount of punishment. All of the sporting
 bloods of London assembled at the ringside, and many of them were men
 of title. A fortune was wagered on
 the result. When the men entered
 the ring the supporters of Caunt felt that their money was as good as won,
 for he loomed above the champion like a skyscraper over cottage.
 The blood started to flow early in the battle, and by the f1ftieth round
 both men were bathed in their own
 gore and were wallowing about a ring
 stained red with blood.e Caunt had victory in his grasp at one time, and the Bendigo men,x seeing that the | champion was on his last legs started | a rough house. They swarmed into l l116 I1i1S, SAiOOlA1S dlAo CdIolilS dllO | fighting among themselves, and the l principals were forced to leave the ring for time.
 | Bepdigo recovered during the in. terval and when the mill was resl..ue6
 he was comparatively fresh. From | that time on he had the shade, bu | it is doubtful if he would have wor
 had not the giant perpetr; ted a foul | The end came in the 93rd round, aftel I two hours and ten minutes of actua l fighting Bendigo voluntarily retired soon after, and the title was banded about between Tass Parker, Perry th' .l Tipton Slasher and Harry Broom | until 1857, when the great Tom Say CTS won the championship.

rays Their vibrations are so slow that they cannot be detected by the eye. The high vibrations are found on the other end of the spectrum be- yond the violet, and are known as ul- tra-violet, chemical or actinic rays. It is these that produce the familiar changes on the sensitized camera plate or film and other chemical changes. They are the rays to be guarded against when you are expos ed to bright sunlight or brilliant arti- ficial light.
 Crookes glass has a power of stop ping out or absorbing vibrations Of this high frequency, so that while the colors of the visible spectrum are freely transmitted by the glass, the high frequency vibrations of the ul- tra-violet are barred. The great ad- vantage of the Crookes glass is that because it is practically colorless 1t can be made up by any optician in the proper prescription for the indi- vidual eye and worn continually with out detracting from the wearer's s | looks-which can scarcely be claim ed for colored glasses which may also have the power of stopping the ultra violet. .

WELL KNOWN SOCCER
 PLAYERS KILLED OR
 WOUNDED IN FRANCE

Walter Smith and Arthur Hayes, Of Norwalk, have been killed and Walter Spray, of that city, seriously wounded, while Frederick Hunt, the fourth member of the quartet to quit the Dresden Lace Works of that city and join English regiments at home has been captured by Germans. The four men were engaged on the western front when their fates befell them, ac- cording to advices received in Nor walk this week.
 Smith, Hayes, Spray and Hunt are well known in Bridgeport, principally because of their connection with the Norwalk Soccer football team. They all played in this city at. various times until two years ago when they crossed the Atlantic to do their bit. Smith in particular distinguished himself as an athlete and especially as a soccer star. The four men were members of the Sons of St. George. a branch of which organization is located in this city. In war service two were connected with the Nottingha mshire and two with Derbyshire regiments.

roDAY,s ANNIVERSARIES.

On Sept. 12, 1642, Gina Mars, the fa,- vorite of Louis XIII, was executed at Lyons by order of Cardinal Richelieu. He had been introduced at court as spy on the king, whose favorite he soon became Ennity grew up between him and Richeheu against whom he entered into a conspiracy. He was arrested and executed at the age of 9. His history has formed the basis of plots for romance-writers and dra- matists.
 On this date in 1883 the siege of Vii enfia was raised. The city had been besieged by the Turkish army of 200. 900. and was weakly garrisoneId- But the King of Poland and the Duke of Larraine hastened with armies to its relief, and the Turks withdrew with out fighting This event saved Europe from the danger of being overrun by the Turks.
 The battle of Harper's Ferry was fought on Sept. F, 1862, during the kCtviI War.
