rous to call it a page to the records of British heavy weight boxing during the last twenty years. Georges Carpentier, once more, was the dealer of the blow, and he deserves our bauble congratu CO.lations for being able to do the obvious thing with such dispatch; but the true explanation, of course, lies in the even more ridiculous ease with which his victima continue to enter the ring des jeribed and acclaimed as champions
Many members of an enormous crowd thought themselves very hardly done by but, after all, they had cheered to defeat worse champions than Beckett, and their uwa lack of the critical faculty has had a good deal to do with the present low standards of British boxing (says the Boxing Correspondent of The Times)..
Personally, I cannot bring myself to write anything very unkind of "Joo Beckett, the man. He has never been a champion boxer and never looked like being one he has merely been a good honest bruiser of a hopelessly out-of-date pattern, slow-footed and slower-witted) quite capable of beating the dozens worse RUSSO-ASIATIC.

If the curtain has to be rung down upon Beckett's career 4s, champion pugilist, let it also be rung down upon a most miserably third- rate appreciation of what boxing, and fighting combined really mean,
Certainly, on this occasion, Beckett had no reason to complain of his reception when, at length, after some rather preliminary contests, he suddenly ap peared in the ring. The cheers werb much the loudest and heartiest, of his checkered career. Nor was Carpentier without honour when be ducked quietly through the ropes less than a minute later.
Beckett's stolid expression ex- panded into a broad smile. Carpentier, 3.K usal, looking almost pale and esthetic by comparison, smiled as sweetly As ever. There followed those testing and rather annoying momeats of pre- paration in the corners, the referee got ir a few words in advance, and then the great fight began!"
HOW CARPENTIER WON. Carpentier kept his distance for a moment-alas! one has to think in mo ments and purse them most carefully and then led with the left. The wa boxers changed hsitions and, then suppose one must say suddenly-Carpen tier feinted very quickly with his left and swung a right to the side of!! Beckett's head. Beckett's face revealed his amazement, and I confess that my own brain tottered with his for a mo ment. Clearly the worst was happening in very nearly the shortest possible time. Beckett's absence of guard was only equalled by his utter want of the ability to think quickly. Not so Carpentier. whose inastery these semi-tragic"
of situations is complete, enough. He was on his man in a flash, and a left and right had a morally beaten man physically beaten as well. Beckett took & short count and, rose unsteadily close to the ropes and near to bis Carpentier dashed in, and the absence! of resistance made him fall over his tottering opponent. The referee, Mr.
