"When every farmer in the South shall eat
bread from his own fields, and meat from his
,wn pastures, and disturbed by no creditor,
md enslaved by no debt, shall sit amid his
Ieeming gardens and orchards, and vine
yards, and diaries, and barnyards, pitching
his crops in his own wisdom and growing
them in independence, making cotton his
clean surplus, and selling it in his own time,
and i'm his chosen market, and not at a mas
ter's bidding his pay in cash and not
in receipted mortgage that discharges his
debt, but does not restore his frcedom-then
shall be the breaking of the fullness of our
day." HENRY w. GRADY.

ball throng at Newheld Park yester- day by Jack McGee as the man who will box Louis Bogash fifteen rounds at the Arena next Thursday night, q waS in the grandstand shouted back: 'I bet he'd ont stay that long:" Evi- dently he is one of the Bridgeport boxing fans who entertainS the opin- ion that BoSash is going to win in quick knockout.
 The Soldier received an enthusi- astic reception when he was escorted on the diamond. How are you Jacob ?' Glad 10 hear that lame wrist is better" were osme of the salutations.
 With the bout advanced to Thurs day night, Bartfield declared today he will be fit to tackle Bogash- Sat urday afternoon was a dizzy period for the Bridgeport A A officials, the boxers and their principals and the members of the Bridgeport Boxing Comm fssion- Alth hoIIgh there were theratS to call off the bouts the con ference concluded harmoniously with the result that the show will come off Thursday.
 It means four more days of artfu- oJrS training for Bogash who Is not fit as a fiddle and eager to enter the ring. The local weTter, however. is not in need of much more heavy work, for the reason he is now down to weight by his strenuous weeks training with Tommy Madden. the Brooklyn midd1eweight.

A printed statement in one of yes terday's local papers to the effect that Joe Smith, manager of Louis Bogash, who is to fight Soldier Bartfield at the State Street Arena, Thursday night, had attempted to hold up'' the Bridgeport A. & A. for an addi- tional S1,500 for the battle to be staged on Memorial Day, was this morning labeled false by Connie Lew is, president Of the Bridgeport A. & A. Go.
 Its ridiculous to the core,'' declar- ed Lewis, 'tand an injustice to Smith and the club. Smith, prior to the conference on Saturday afternoon, when the fight date was shifted ahead, made the remark that he had an offer of $500 in excess of what Bogash is fighting Bartfield for. could he ac- cept an engagement for Decoration Day. Reports that he attempted to play the pirate game here on the club are entirely groundhess," em- pf1aSized Lewis
 A bumper crowd at the show is in dicated by the large advance sale of tickets. Nearly all of the reserved pasteboaTds are sold or reserved, ac- cording to Lewis.

 Pittsburgh. May 23.-An records for championship boxing receipts will fall July ? when Dempsey and Car pentier meet.
 The turnstipes will click off merry million dollar tune.
 The boxers will earn the biggest dividends in the history of the game and Promoters Tex Rickard will real ize a record sun. for himself.
 When one pauses to consider that a nan in the public eye should be worth a fair share of what he can attract to the box office criticism of the financial features of the big fight seems unfair In the face of cond1- tons existing today and the popular liy of the match I do not believe RIckard's guaranee to the fighters is too large.
 Dempsey will receive 3e per cent. for his end. Carpenter viii get 24 the receipts will total we'll above the
 Purses of Old Days.
 In the old days of boxing such purses were never dreamed of. The first big purse ever fought for in this country was offered to Peter Jackson and myself away back in 1891 by the
 
 cisco.
 This match was made after I fought Choynski and when the match maker of the club approached me I demanded a purse of S10.0O0 to be split s8,500 to the winner and S1.50O| 10 the loser. He thought I was crazy Everybody laughed at me. but the club finally agreed.
 I'll never forget that fight for two reasons In the first place Jackson and I fought 61 rounds over a period of four hours. Last but not least I did not get cent for my efforts. When the 61st round ended they de- clared the bout no contest and I was skinned Out of my money. I'm sure that, Jackson got paid, for later he suggested a return match before the club, He wouldn't have done that otherwise.
 Prior to that time any big money carried off by boxers was the result dreamt of a. s10,OO0 purse.
 Sullivan Corbett Purse. John L.. Sullivan and I fought for 8 purse of s25,oOo and s2O.OOO stake money at New Orleans in 1892. In 1897. Fitzsimmons and I drew s22,- V 0Do ht,,t at taEI9h if5 Eity' MdG The gate for York in 1900 was s56,3 $50 and when Jeffries and I fought in San Francis co in 1903 the boxing public turned $6S.Si into the box office III IhoSe udSS @1V.Ooo Was US money. It went also as far as S5O,- 900 would go today. The cost of living was reasonable. The boxer who carted off ten grand was indeed for l tunate so I consider that in many ways I was almost as well paid for several fights as the stars of puEil- | ism today. Beginning tomorrow T will take up with my readers a series of discus sions of the important fights Carpen- tier and Dempsey have had. Within 1 a. short time I will be with the fight CTS again and by that time I expect they will be showing some ething worth | while in training.

 In 31 to q Victory

Atlantic City, N. J., May 23.- Jack DempSey'S cottage was one of the principal attractions of the hundreds of visitors at the resort Sunday. They Swarmed all over from attic to cellar and insisted upon shaking hands with the champion, who to get away from the throng took a long ride in his motor car.
 That was not before he had taken part in a baseball game, playing on the side of the visiting newspaper men against the men employed about his camp. Jack played first base for six innings and then went into the box. The score of 31 to P in favor of the newspaper men was no reflection on the work of the champion as a baseball player.
