after establishing his su-
premacy with the cudgel and single
stick, came to London, set up as q
master of the broadsword, and chal-
lenged all comers.
Figg appears to have been the first
to recognize the money possibilities OF
prize fighting. On a piece of waste
land he put up wooden building, in
imitation of the Roman amphitheater
where contests of all sorts were held
and admission charged. He was q

John L. Sullivan of his day.
A diarist of the day described WV

I'VE went to see this combat, which
was performed on stage in the mid
die of the amphitheater, where, on
the flourishes of trumpets and the
beat of drums, the combatants entered,
stripped to their skirts.
"On a signal from the drum they
drew their swords and Immediately
began the fight, skirmishing for a

ITE HAD, in his turn, an ad-
vantage over the great one in
being able to give him the
Jarnac stroke, by cutting him on his
right ham, which he left in a manner
quite unguarded. So, all things con-
sidered, they were equally matched
Nevertheless, the tall one struck his
antagonist on the wrist. which he
almost cut of. But this did not pre-
vent him from continuing the fight,
after he had been dressed and taken
glass or two of wine to give him
courage.
"A little afterward, making a feint
at the ham, the tall man, stopping
in order to parry it, laid his whole
head open while the little one gave
him stroke which took of a slice
Of his head and almost all his ear.
THE surgeons Immediately dressed
them and bound up their wounds;
which being done, they resumed the
combat, and both being very sensible
of their respective disadvantages,
they therefore were long time with
out giving or receiving a wound,
which was the cause that the little
one, failing to parry so exactly, being
tired with this long battle, received
a stroke on his wounded wrist which,
dividing the sinews, he remained van
quished and the tall conqueror re-
ceived the applause of the spectators.

FISHING AND HUNTING

DVANCE figures show that the

~ stamp. better known as the
duck stamp" has returned
S356,000 up to November 80 to the
Post Office Department for transfer
to the United States Bureau. of
Biological Survey for the purchase
and maintenance OF waterfowl
refugees, according to the American
Game Association.
No one knows how many water
fowl hunters there are in the United
States, but the number of purchases
of the duck stamp will give fair
idea. When the seasons in all Of
the States have closed and all returns
from the sale of the duck stamp are
in, officials of the Government pro-
pose to learn the proportion of water
fowl hunters to upland game hunters.
Guesses, based upon personal observa-
ton by veteran hunters, hold that not
more than one out of seven hunters
hunt migratory waterfowl. Through
this basis it has been estimated gen.
orally that the waterfowl stamp would
return about $1,OOO,OOO a year for
building nesting and resting refugees
for the birds.
An unexpected source of revenue
has been the purchasing Of this
unique stamp by stamp collectors. It
is the first stamp ever issued by the
Post Office for such a purpose. Col
lectors have been buying an appre-
ciable number of them.
Charles S. McIntire, 1862 Ontario
place northwest, reports buying 5000
worth of these stamps for friends in
Chile and India. Benito Lopez of
Santiago, mining engineer, for
warded s100 for stamps. He expects
to distribute them among his friends.

of Cashmir, India, likewise bought
100 stamps to sell as curios in that
far-away land.
