Oonoeltea Men Who Think They
Are Born Fightora ,
An Old Teacher of the Manly Art Gives a
Vw Instances of the Folly at Sum
Aspirants Who Have En
tared the King.
The leading boxing master in New
York, the teacher in one of the big
athletic clubs, was talking about the
manly art to an interested group pi
young men, says the New York Sun,
One of the funniest things in . life,"
said he, "is the fancy that 6ome men
have about their fightinr abilities.
You've noticed tvtien you attend spar-
ring exhibitions mat, certain enaps
came forward to box who could not
stand three minutes against the worst
plup ever seen. They hwen't the body,
the endurance 6r the art, and yet they
come up as though fighting was a thing
anvbodv could do. 1 ve ooscrvea tins
thing a hundred times in my life, but I
never had it brought so .plainly oetore
me as when, the other night, I went to
down-town theater where a lot of the
best men in the business were exhibit
ing." The professionals were offering
prizes to anyone who would Come on
the stage and last four rounds. The
fellow that came out to meet rulrain.
the man that fought Sullivan, was more
like a wisp of hay than an athlete. Kil
rain looked him over and smiled; then
dabbed him on the face a few times,
and the poor chap did not know where
he-was. He staggered oil ignominiously,
yet he had received no punishment that
any man even ordinarily well con
structed could not have .taken smiling
ly. Now, why did that chup think he
could faee a heavy-weight professional
prize fighter?
"Then two middle-weight amateurs
met each other. One was a lightning
hitter. He was quick, strong and scien
tific. The other was so bad that he
made vou mad. lie was tough, like a
piece 'of dead meat, but thein;flrjit

to make anyone but a fool take C J the
gloves and swear never to put them on
again. In four rounds that conceited
ass was struck fairly in the face no less
than forty times and he never got in
even an accidental blow in return. Yet
he thought he could fight and probably
does so still. Two light-weights came
out next. One struck the other and
knocked him nearly across the stage.
The little fellow got up and was
knocked down again. This action Was
repeated four or five times, and then
the man that was playing the part of
shuttlecock groped away into the wings,
amid howls of derision, lie was another
fallow who had not learned even the
nuliments of boxing. I find it the same
with the fashionable young men that I
teach. Many of them can put up a
pretty good fight, but these are not the
ones that think they can uetc an crea
tion. No; the conceited ones are the
hopeless eases, fellows that never can
learn to fight, who can never be qnick
and "hover last through four three-min
ute rounds the longest day they live.
"A fellow of this sort asked me re
cently if I would not box with him at
an exhibition that the club was going
to have. I looked him over and his as
surance made me a little angry. 1
asked him to step into the sparring-room
and said that if we were going to box
at an exhibition we ought to have a re
hearsal. He put on the gloves and we
faced each other. For the greater part
of a round I did not load for him once,
but allowed him to punch at me. Sev
eral times I put my face forward tc
meet his glove, for there was no force
in it. At last I told him that I was
going to hit him and then 1 did so. It
was not a knock-out blow on the corner
of the jaw, but a straight hit between
the eyes. I think the man rolled clean
out of the room we were in and started
to fall down the stairs in the hall out
side. When he got up he looked about
to see where he was. I told him that
he could not fight, probably never could
learn and advised him to refrain by all
means from ever putting on gloves with
veterans like myself.
I declare, it's the
strangest thing in the world. No one
thinks he can play the violin without
years of practice, yet the first slim Jim
that comes along fancies he can fight."
And the old ring hero sniffed with dis
gust. The art of smashing a man's nose
was as sacred to him as the manipula
tion of the bow was to Paganini.

"Do you see that man?" asked Dc
tective Phillips, of the Fifth Avenui

with a full grayish beard, entered tin

man who sat reading a newspaper
' He's after that paper; just watch him.'
A few moments later the man who wat

"Who is ho?" asked the reporter.
"I don't Know, but he's a gentleinar

The Flarshlp Santa M;irl;i-!Ior She Was
- Built and Equipped I.iteve!t of the
Spanish Government In the
KutorprUe.
The Santa Maria was the largest of
the three vessels in the little fleet of
Columbus. A reproduction of this ves
sel was launched at Carraca, , Spain,
June 20, 1BD2, and her appearance at the
time is shown in the accompanying cut.
This vessel is being built at . the ex
pense of the Spanish government, and
the two smaller vessels of the fleet are
at the same time under construction in.
that country at the expense of our gov
ernment, and under the supervision of
United States oflli'crs, acting in con
junction with the Spanish committee.
The Santa Maria was built at the
arsenal of Carracn, 63 days being taken
for the construction of the vessel,
undor the direction of Engineer Leo-
poldl Puonte, of Wilko. Her length be
tween perpendiculars is liU.OO meters;
length over all. ii.10 meters; ex
treme beam, 9.80 meters. The hull
weighs 127 tons; it hus live decks, and a
mainmast, foremast. :uizzenmast and
bowsprit. The armament consists of
six falconets and two lomburds, the lat
ter being on the main deelc.
It was intended that all three of
these vessels should be completed in
time to take part iu a e lebration in
Spain commemorative of the date of

will sail via tbe St. Lawrence and the
lakes to Chicago vvlw re they will constitute-
a feature of thV exposition.
The Spanish committee having the
matter in charge have made careful ex
aminations of all obtainable data to in
sure that tbo vessels shall be in every
detail which can be definitely deter
mined exact copies of the original Co
lumbus vessels.
In connection with this subject a
Madrid periodical says:
"A great deal of data of very varied
character has boon obtained, but noth
ing that would give the exact details
sought, because, doubtless, the vessels
of. that time varied greatly, not only In
the form of their hulls, but also in their
rigging, as will be seen by an examina
tion of the engravings and paintings of
the fifteenth century, and as there waa
no ship that could bear the genoric
name of 'caravel,' great confusion was
caused when the attempt was made to
state, with a scientific certainty, what
the caravels were."
The word "caravel" comes from the
Italian car a bella; and with this
ethnology it is safe to suppose that the
name waa applied to those vessels on
account of the grace and beauty of their
form, and finally was applied to the
light vessels which went ahead of the
fleets as dispatch boats. Nevertheless,
we think we have very authentic data,
perhaps all that is reliable in the letter
of Juan de la Casa, Columbus' pilot.
From his drawings and the descrip
tions of the days' runs in the
part marked "incidents of Columbus'
log," it is ascertained that these vessels
bad two sets of sails, lateens for sailing

The same lateens serve for this dduble

and hoisting them like yards by means
of top ropes. Instead of having the
points now used for reeling, these sails
had bands of canvas culled bowlines,
which were unlastimeii when it was
necessary to diminish the sails.

A VERACIOUS LAWYER.
fells the World What He Knows Abou,
Copperhead Nnakea.
A veracious lawyer relates his experi '
ence to the Kingston Freeman in thesi
words: "I have had an antipathy to cop
perheads since I was a boy and saw this i
kind of a snake at Marble town. It it
a sneaking, mean snake. There was a
path the men used near the house where
I lived, and the copperheads would lie
along the path in the sun and strike
their poisonous fangs at whoever came
near them. One man was bitten through
the clothing, and his leg swelled as big
as a keg and became blue as indigo.
He narrowly escaped with his life, not
withstanding the fact that most of the
poison was .absorbed by the clothing
and did not reach the wound. Each
year thereafter, at the date whcn.the
man was bitten, his leg would become
spotted and swell and break out just as
though he had been bitten again,"
One of the safeguards used by farm
hands when at work in hay or grain on
ground infested by these reptiles is to
bind twisted bands of hay around their
legs. The snakes jump up and strike
then- fangs in the hay without reaching
the flesh. There is a legend of one
chap in Wawarsing, famous asa mower
with a scythe, to the effect that ho car
ried on his legs three copperheads half
way across a field while mowing. The
snakes in striking at the man became
fastened In the haybnnds and dangled
from his calves, to the terror of bis fel
low workers who saw him. When in
formed of his danger bo said that was
nothing. He was acquainted with the
3nakcs. To prove it, In- Jj.-.t a gallon of
whisky he could show them a dozen
copperheads in less than three minutes.
The bet was taken. Ho drew from his
pocket-a whistle, blew a shrill blast, and
all over the fields the heads of copper
heads could be seen above the grass a
they raised uu their tails to ascertain
the meaning of the unwonted sound.
The bet was paid, nml the man drunk
the whisky and cut and irnthcrcd the
hay alone, for no one el:,o could be
hired to work iu that Held from Hint day.
