Norta Prarre, Aug. 30.—To the Sporting Editor of Tur Bee: For a long time of late years in contests (Queensberr rules) tall men of the same weight with stumpy built meu seem to have the ud- vantage, but of late the tide seems to hay turned in favor of the lutter type. Youug Corbett and Alex Greggains were ov thrown by the broad, burly and strong breed of boxers, notwithstanding their advantages in height, length and cleverness. Champion Corbett and Mitchell will repre sent the two different types of build, and should they ever meev time will prove which will be the winner. Dan Creedon, the Australian, although only 5 fect Sig inches in stature, is remarkably big made man at the weight, and Greggains could not contend against his overwhelming strengtn and stamin Harry Ovme, u stinted Hereules of bavel feet 5 inches and a tough picce of stuff, wus successful in his contests with Aaron Joncs and Nat Langham, who were both bis superior in height, reach and scicnee.

The beautiful wood duck and locally bred owds are ulrendy furnishing some sport for impatient gun- ners, but the hunter’s harvest only begins when the little teal, the green wing and the blue wing commence to arrive from their northern haunts, They are due by the 20th of this month in full force.
