But much of the admiration one could feel for this men in this ring has been destroyed by the bombastic quibbling of these modern shampions.

Still, the loose limbs, the leon eye, the firm mouth, and a confident, almost frank expremion, is not displeasing, and when he expressed the intention of meating Corbett, aa ho did in England some months back, by hook or by crook, there was just that kindle of fire in his eyes for a noment that spoke sincerity, and a certain amount of jealous pride of his standing in the fitis world.
