The Spanish Fail
to Appreciate the
Fine Art of Boxing

Madrid, May 1.-(By The Associat-
ed Press. )-Spaniards do not under
stand boxing-and do not want to,
judging from some of the comments
in connection with the recent exhibit
ton given by Carpenter in Madrid,
where he reproduced with Lenaers as
his boxing partner his bout against
Battling Levinsky.
The Diario Universal says: when
the great, Incompatible, unique Car
pentier entered the ring and noticed
that there were not more than 200
spectators present, he was unable to
refrain from a gesture of astonish-
ment. Wherever he had exhibited
previously the tickets had been sold
out fortnight beforehand and in
some cases special trains had been
run for the accommodation of fans
The managers on this occasion must
have suffered ruinously, for Carpen-
tiers terms are high.
1.-THE secret of this frost is not far
to seek. Spaniards do not use their
fists. They prefer smacks. Fists hurt
the adversary and, besides, it hurts
| ones hands to hit with them closed.
1--WE are a people of open hands
and our anger shows itself more in
words than in muscles. Should
! Spaniards come to blows, the neces-
sary preliminaries are a long string
of insults for the adversary and two
or three generations of his ancestors.
Then ensue a couple Of smacks, after
which the contestants embrace and
hold each other so as to give time for
the onlookers to separate them"
| The newspaper concludes: while
boxing continues to be a fight with
closed fists it will not catch on with
us: but arrange a match with open
/ hands and then we shall see crowd
gathering to witness it,"
Bay Wood defeated Steve Nolan on
Monday night in the main bout be-
/ fore the Academy A. A.. at Fall Riv-
err Mass. Incidentally 1t was come
back for the veteran Of decade ago.
! Young Smith of this city was bested
! by Young Enos also of Fall River
! Young Westly went to sleep in the
first round against Jack Dillon of
New Bedford and Young Porter ka-
yoed Young Machade> in the fifth.

 Always it had been the dream Of my life and my associate, Mrs. Richard F. Johnston to present Caruso to Bir- mingham in concert-this we had hoped and longed for ever since the All Star Concerts" became reality; wrote to MT. Caruso frequently about it; always I had the most charming letters from him, saying how much he wanted to come to Bir- lningham; always my letters had to go through the long red tape" of the managerial offices-and always the same answer.
 Get a place large enough to &C., commodate 10000 people and then Ca ruso is yours"
 For tens upon tens of thousands of people always have heard the great tenor wherever-whenever sang and so even as late as last December just before his last appearance at the Metropolitan opera-Christmas Eve, in La Juive"=I had letter from Caruso-saying he hoped to give us a concert in Birmingham ''ere long"
 Personality feel the loss of real friend in the death of Enrico Caru so; few women-southern women have dropped into New York and met the great tenor in the informal friendly way that Mrs. kettig and did three years ago-and few women have been lucky enough to have the event turn into a real friendship as we did-and today-with the thous- ands upon top of thousands of others who loved Caruso-some at dis tance-merely from the foot lights others closely and intimately-I lay my little token of love and friend ship upon the altar of his memory way over there in sunny Italy-where all that is mortal of the golden voiced tenor lies.
 I. Some one speaks of filling his place;
 But alas: there will be singers who will sing his roles; there will be sing CTS who must replace" him at the great Metropolitan opera-but none will ever sing as Caruso sang; none will ever thrill with all the iimpid, gorgeous, sensuous, beautiful wealth of tonal fascination that his voice thrilled with-none will ever sing as he sang;
 70 golden voice! You are more than
 song alone
 You are the voice of music aeons

since I met Mir. Caruso three years ago and with whom I had the pleas
 ure of a very sweet and very delight | full friendship.
 The whole story comes to mind so vividly as I sit and write of him now; the scene was like flaming cameo somewhat journalistic in style-but a scene which few journalists have
 ever been able to create because this
 just happened
 It was at "Longue Vue" up on the Hudson-and we'd motored out from
 New York for dinner at this beauti-
 full place; six of us in the party, and
 as we took our places at table we noticed near by Mir. Caruso, Miss Dorothy Park Benjamin (to whom he
 was married three months later-on August 20, 191S). and his secretary, the handsome MT. Bruno Zarito. l recall so vividly how the men of
 our party "teased' me into getting a
 story with Caruso; dared me to in
 troduce myself and all that, guy
 ing'' me into embarrassment about whether I could get an audience with
 the great tenor or not, and all that sort of thing
 Then-dinner over with, and all of
 us strolling out upon the beautiful terrace with the Hudson flowing
 placidly at our feet and MT. Caruso in the role of the love-lorn swain" and Miss Benjamin-strolling out into the remote parts of the flower

1 gardens-and presently appearing again-and of how I took the dare" and introduced myself to the great tenor-and asked about a story, and of his graciousness and kindness and urbanity-and how the men in our party were perfectly "flabber- gast- ed' at the "denouement' of the little "scenario"-oh 1t was all so delight fully informed and happy-and when I said l was from Birmingham. Mir. Caruso beamingfy asked:
 "Ah you know my friend, Giuseppe Moretti, the sculptor?"
 And when l said that I had that pleasure, that was the "open sesame to his affections, his kindness and his heart.
 The day following Mir. Caruso en- tertained Mrs. w. H. Kettig (who was one of the charming members of the dinner party) and myself at the Knickerbocker; the next day the party was repeated and on the third day when he graciously invited us to his apartments at the knickerbocker where we enjoyed his hospitality for more than three hours-well--it was something which comes to few peo delightful hospitality extended by the greatest of all singers of the day to two new found friends.
 As I write these few ines--I can almost hear the golden voice of Ca ruso on that occasion; I can see him sitting at his desk in his library

SN EFORE me is little note, | IN dated the Vanderbilt hotel ~ New York city, May 6. 1921: | It is just a brief note-the very last, although I didn't know it at the time-that l shall ever have from my good friend, Enrico Caruso-the golden voiced tenor, whose beautiful, limpid notes were hushed forever just few hours ago. The letter I refer to is from Bruno Zarito, Carusos secretary, and con tains this sentiment: My dear Mrs. Shipman: Mir. Caruso directs me to convey to you his hearty thanks for the sure you of his genuine appreciation of this kind thought. | MT. Caruso sends you his most cor dial wishes and hopes to see you and your friend, Mrs. Kettig, in New York next fall.
 Very sincerely yours, Bruno Zarito, Secretary.
 The note was in reply to one which I had sent to Mr. Caruso, congratu- lating him upon his recovery and conveying "bon voyage" to him just prior to his sailing for the sunny climes of Italy which he loved so we'll.
 Just one of many letters was this, that l have been the recipient of brother. MT. Harry Robertson, as best man.
 Following the ceremony an infor- nal reception was held, in which MT. and Mrs. Holder were assisted by the members of the bridal party, Mrs. c. D. Robertson. mother of the groom, and Mrs. Fred Mcclure. Mrs Holder and Mrs. Robertson received in hand some dresses of black satin and Mrs. Mcclure was ibecomingly gowned in blue satin.
 White. the chosen color, was car ried out in the ices and cakes and other refreshments. | MT. Robertson and his bride left 1 last, evening for an extended we'd | ding trip totNew York and places on | the Atlantic coast and upon their re- | turn they will be at home with the brides parents on South Thirteenth street.
 The bride has many friends in Bir- mingham, and is of a charming per sonality.
 The groom is a member of one oi | the old families of this city, where he was reared, and is we'll known ano popular in business and sociafcircles M'CAFFERY-HANsE
