So in our day Mr.. Fitzsimmons had pity

no less classic encounter at New Orleans,
praying his seconds to lead the spent hero

Mr.. Fitzsimmons was the modern Entellus.
Dares, the Trojan, defied all comers at the
games in memory of AnChises. Mighty in
stature and formidable in brawn was Dares.
There was a fearful silence, and hearts

part of EntellGs and Mr. James j. Corbett
that of Dares.
How Mr.. Fitzsimmons would have ac-
quilted himself in the Greek and Trojan
sports can only be conjecture. With bare
hands he should have sent some of the
heroes of antiquity to sleep, for they had
no straight left" and the forearm blow
the Jolt" which Mr. Fitzsmmons brought
TO such perfection, was unknown to them
They swung and they hammered and both
Homer and Virgil tell of the falling blow"

allowed no wrestling, no grappling their
rules for boxing resembed the conditions
drawn up in 1867 by John G. Chambers
since known as the Marquis of Queensberry
rules. AS for the brutality inseparable from
those old encounters with Cesti from our
point of view, it was scarcely worse than
what was seen on the Farnsborough turf
when Tom Sayers and John c. Heenan
battlcd savagely for more than two hours
with bare hands (piCkled in the case of
Sayers) for the championship of the world
Mr.. FitzsimmonS never went to Congress-
as did Mr.. John Morrissey, pride of the
Bowery, in New Nork's unregenerate days
They were different types, but even Tam
many Hall would hesitate now to give its
countenance to a champion rIgilist The
case of John Gully, a respected member
of the House of Commons, is not in point
Tor When Mr.. Gully was in his prime as a
hero of the prize ring, pugiism was held
in such high esteem that Parliament would
empty to see bout for the championship
Mr.. FitzsimmOns was first and last a glad
iator, and in our day, while we admire
manly courage and put the skilful boxer
on pedestal, as of old, we do not glorify
the gladiator and give him preferment At
the present time We think that the right
place for the professional boxer is the firing
line in France, and some of the guild to
their honor, are of the same opinion.

HOURLESS MAY RUN AGAIN
AGAINST OMAR KHAYYAM
Match Race Expected to Be Arranged
for Pimlico Track No
vember s

1t appears now that the rivalry between
Hourless and Omar khayyam did not end
for the season with the match race at
Laurel last Thursday. There is likelihood
of another special event, but both are en-
gagged in two important stakes at the
Pimlico meeting and the trainers Of both
horses are pointing them for these events
which may enable Hourless to even up the
score, or Omar Khayyam to redeem him
self for his only defeat by .iouress.
The event in which they are most likely
to come together again is the Plmlco
Autumn Handicap, for three-year-olds
which will be run on November at mile
and quarter, the distance Of the recent
match.

NO NEW CASES OF
POLIOMYELITIS TODAY
Two Cases Have Broken
Out in Washington, One
Being from Barre Town

In an effort TO check the epidemic OF
infantile paralysis in. Montpelier, the
board of health there at meeting held
last evening decided to prohibit the hold.
ing of any public gatherings, even fra
ternal meetings, ordered the moving pic
ture houses to close and requested the
churches not to hold any more services
until further notice. Band concerts will
not be held, and the police have been in
strueted to send home any children found
lettering about the streets.
The Playhouse and New Comique will
give their last performances tonight.
The regulations will have a tendency to
make business exceedingly poor for the
merchants, but the board of health is of
the opinion that the most stringent regu-
lations should be enforced until it is felt
the epidemic is under control,
No new cases developed last night or
this forenoon, although the physicians
are watching carefully several cases for
paralysis symptoms. Although
most of the cases are mild, in few in
stances the children are in a critical con-
dition.
