It was not a flght at all in the strictest sense of thé word. We both were very fast and contented ourselves with moving rapidly and 4apping to pile up the points.

A fine fighter he was and one who inspired in me re- spect long before we had entered the ring. Descamps asked and received 1,000 francs for our share of the proceeds in this bout. It was the biggest purse we ever had taken home | with us and both were elated. This victory was one of great mo- ment to me, for just previous to my meeting with Loughrey he fought ahd defeated Henri Piet, who had just beaten me.

I knew that I could but sirmount this Amer- ican obstable the rest probably would be easy. Therefore I prepared for the fight with every resource at my command. One might say that constant thinking of the coming bout might injure my chances because it might make me nervously anxious over the outcome. Not so; I never have been afflicted with this sort of nervousness. I am not remarkably adept at avoiding the usual pitfalls for fighters, but I am constitutionally constructed to op- pose worries of all kinds. A fighter who enters the ring skep- tical of his ability to beat his op- ponent is a half-beaten man. One o the main pillars of my success has been a deeply founded belief in my own ability. Without it T do not be- lieve I could have done what I have accomplished—even though I thad possessed phenomenal boxing ability, greater courage and powers of en- durance. S0 I had no fear of the conse- quence when I set out to study Lough- rey and his methods from every pos- sible point. I was determined to win this bout and I want to impress you with the importance I attached to it It seemed to me the greatest thing that ever had happened in my life.

The Chateau is more than 400 years old anda is one of the most striking and interesting of the famous feudal establishments of ancient France. It was once one of the most magnificent of these great estates and lies in the valley of the Loire close to the town of Blois and has about 15,000 acres, part of which is enclosed by walls extending for 20 miles. The building is about 200 feet square with famous circular towers at the corners and a double spiral staircase leading to the double lantern, which dominates the center tower. It was built about 1526 and for two centuries was a royal residence. Louis XV gave it to Zlarshal Saxe and Na- poleon presented it to Marshal Ber- thier. Eventually it fell into the pos- session of the Duke of Parma. At the beginning of the war it was owned by Prince Elias of Bourbon- Pama and was sequestrated because he was serving in the Austrian army as an attache of the Austrian General Staff. Prince Elias is a brother of Zita, wife of the former Emperor Charles of Austria-Hungary, who Ki-MolDS (Tablets or Granules) For INDIGESTION ‘With or without water; ’ pleasant to take. QUICK RELIEF!

After the war, Prince Elias at- tempted to recover possesson of the estate, but the French courts have Jjust disallowed his claim. This, how- ever, does not settle the question of its ownership, for Prince Sixtus, also Bourbon-Parma brother of Prince Elias, has put in a claim to the own- ership of the Chateau. Prince Sixtus ! does not suffer the disability of Prince Elias, as Sixtus and his brother !Xavier both offered their services to !the French government in the war, {and being refused on the ground that descendants of the royal houses could not be permitted to fight for France, the both enlisted in the Bel- igian army, where they served as | stretcher-bearers under fire.
