The following remini by John n, the well, known ville runner, will prove a memoi st tor of the time he trained Shetucket Steam Fire pany, No. 7, to win the champlonship of the city, Mr. Nolan tells the story as follow: When announcement was made in ly, 1894, of a half-mile race for orwich fire engine companies, to be run in cmber, 14 men to a com- four companies enteres interest was taken in the prep- ions for the race, Each company to pull a carriage of a specified f weight, and the es were to be $250, { %125, $75 and $25 The entries were the Shetuc Greenaville, better known as the ens, the Niagaras of the city, known as the Twos, the Neptunes of the West Side, and tho Willlam M, Will- inms of the Falls, Sevans Were Acknowledged Cham- pions. The Sevens had won a similar rac a few years before and were the s knowledged champions, but on that { occasion they were trained and led by Bd McMahon, who, as well as George Gadie, ere now members of the Twos, and were both anxious to see the Greeneville boys defeated.

Nolan's Name Raised a Storm. ‘When my name appeared in the list of runners forming the teams, there | was a protest at once that 1 had been rung in,” but Murtha and Delaney produced the record book where I had become a member before the race had been announced by the Agricultural society and the protests were not en- rtained. The men were all in fine condition and configent of the re- sult, when an incident occurred on tha ay befors the race that threw the tire camp into consternation. On that day, while passing through Water street, I met Phil Burns, a well known sporting man, and while we were talk- ing Charle: Hazelhurst came along and joined & i Stopping 1o speak to me, Hazelhurst ald was dead wrong to ring you in, y did; but we are going to beat them if they had all the Nolans ]‘.’l the town on their team.” | Suspected of Receiving a Bribe. { As Burns and I laughed at this | remarik, Hazelhurst jeining in, a prom. inen member of the Sevens passing « e opposite side of the street, and on h apparent good once carrfed the news to sceing terms, at Greenevills, where the tale soon spread | that I had been bribed by these two Gity l}hampionshig flnn By Sevens How Nolan Trained the Greeneville Firemen to Beat the West Siders—A Chapter Out of Local History of the Volunteer Fire Companies—Keenan’s Grit Settled It. men to run the Sevens off their feet | and permit (he Neptunes to win the .

CHAMPIONS OF HIS CLASS. Norwich Pugilist, Who Died in Hart- ford, was a Fighter of the Old School. From Hartford on Friday came news | of the death there of Patrick (Paddy) | Fenton of this city, which will be learned with sincere regret by many friends of this Norwich man, who in fs dey was among the _topnotchers of the' lightwelght pugiliste of the world. He belonged to the old school of slgging, knockout boxers, and at this he met the best of his day. Among those who knew him best and were | able to judge of his prowess as a fight- er, Paddy was firmly believed to have the qualities which would have put him at the top of his class, only need- | ing the wise head to manage his af- | fairs in the best way to bring out all that his. physical qualifications entitlad | him- to. | _Most notable of his matches was a 26 round bout with Matty Mathew: then lightweight champion.

Paddy's last match of any consequence was with And: Ennig, | whom he knocked out in two rounds at New London. In a profession that is often accused of crookedness, Paddy had no smirch kin against his name.

It takes the steady nerve, the elastic step, the energetic body to meet modern conditions, and the quick mind grasps the fact that body-and nerves must be properly nourished.
