The priz> fight which took place in San Francisco this week in which Robert Fitzsimmons, once known as the “Grand Old Maa of the Ring”, collapsed 1n the thirteenth round, emphasises once again the assertion that a prize fighter once beaten isnever again able to “‘make good”’ in the ring. The truth is that the bus- iness is demoralizing. No man can be a prize fighter without training himself to the most per- fect physical condition, yet there never was a prize fighter that did not, sooner or later, drink to ex- ceess. Whena man has drank to excess he if far from being in perfect physical condition. Once whipped in the ring, the prize fizhter’s periods of excess in- crease in frequaney and his con- stitution is rapidly undermined. Tobe a prize fighter, whether tyro or champion, means to be at the fittest possible condition for a brief time and to end life a complete physical wreck.

London, Dec. 22.—The trial of Hugh ‘Watt, the former member of parlia- ment charged with Inciting hired champ, ended with a verdict of gulity. ‘Watt was sentenced to flve years' _penal servitude. Y ‘The judge in summing up said it Wwas the most extraordinary case of modern times. Improbable as was the ‘whole story he thought it was.equally improbable that any one could concoct and swear to suth.charges. .The ques- tion of the sanity, of Watt had not been raised so thejury had nothing to do but find a verdtet ‘of guilty or not gulity. The judge pointed out that the death of the former Mrs. Watt would place Watt in exactly the position he desired, -as it would - enable him to legalize his marriage to Lady Violet puchamp, which at present was il al becauee Mrs. Watt had declined jhave her divorce made absolute. bers of the department who are criticised becausethey receive the paltry sum of 50 cents for turn- ing out to alarms which prove to be only chimney fires. Itis often too bad that such alarms are turned in, but no one has yet been able to suggest a remedy and it is better that the depart- ment should turn out than a de- fective chimney should result in adisastrous fire. Let Mr. Crit- iciser keep pace with our effii- cient firemen for a few blocks to respond to an alarm wherever it may beand I -will warrant he would not run so again for $5 let alone 50 cents. Inour last report of regis- t ation of attendance at fires, which I presented to the council atits last meeting it is shown that from August 12 this year there have been nine alarms, with an average attendance of 23 men, at a cost of $154.50 for men and $69 for teams. can satisfy his grievance which exists between the department and himself, ; Yours truly J.
