"This day is the only day, for, after the excitarent of last night oh, yes, I was excited, though you say I was of phlegan-I have time to think about it all. One, two, three, four punches and I have beaten Joe Beckett. The Prince looks on; everybody sees me win & victory against the English champion, massive, formidable, huge muscles he has, and all Is in his favour, and, at first, I smile and live so happily, and then, as I stand back, with my good Francois muttering, whispering, all on fire, but suffering many cold douches, I become sad.

But, begides this, the war has precipi tated two movements which were already far advanced before it began. One of these is the decay of representative government, of ballot-box democracy. his much-landed system has never been much of a reality. If we read a good history of the political struggles which began on the secession of James I. and went on till within our own memories, we shall see that the Commons were sli the time striving to make themselves in- dependent not only of the Crown, but of the constituencies.

This is what Georges Carpentier said to me, writes B. Bennison in the Daily Telegraph, when I saw him at the Regent Palace Hotel yesterday (Dec. stb). When I met him, Carpentier, who was about to return to Stanmore, was inscribing his name in autograph albums held out to him by many ladies "This," he said, gives me great joy to do, but it is a pleasure that is terrible, for I cannot go through all, that is asked of me
