BOXING FIASCO Abbotsford "sports" were gre- 'viously disappoijited on Saturday , night. ��������� They, had anticipated a/ battle royal between the two boxing exponents (of the"Fightimg Sailor" and the ' North Vancouver champion, Jack Thompson, but the 'encounter LV-cd out in a most ig- nominous manner. ''The fight was billed for twenty rounds, but before one round was fought", the re- free disqualified Sailor Jack for fouling and awarded" the match to [Thomson. From the outset it was evident that fight-,\was 'meant by .Sailor Jack,.who had as his patrons two"'- well-known Abbotsford resi- dents, and neither contestant'made ! much 'pretense oi a scientific dis- ,, play of boxing. Clinches and wild ��������� swings were, the, order of the fight , as far as it progressed, each man. evidently trying to place a "knock out." Thomson got Jack'oncej over up against the ,1'opes and brought him to the. floor and, in one of the l numerous clinches the sailor made furious upward'jabs with,his right The referee had all his work c.Tr. out to keep the fighters, separated At last all pretence at boxing was discarded and in "a'-rough ,wrest- bout'up aga'nst the ropes both men came,,-to the floor. Here Sailor Jack-lunged' furiously- at his ''opponent and-the rbferee had difficult ty in, dragging him away.'i*^With. his temper at whitie > heat Jack . again dashed at. his opponent, who- niade nd attempt to' rise and "*at ,' last helpers had to rush into the ring and hold the infuriated, sailor " in check. The referee "had no ,option bat to stop the fight and a- ward the "victory to Thomson. The , crowd were indignant at the abrupt termination of the contest and raised their voices in lusty howls for "money back" but in this effort to obtain solace f"nr their wounded feelings they were *l>- 'successful, despite their re33urce V.o��������� closing the doors of exit. After the inevitable pow-wow, during which the fighting Bailor oblgjn������>;- ly intimated his willngness to "take on'' the best man 'in, the room and the crowd were dissatisfied and dis gusted, the clamor by degrees became quieted down and the*, crowd loll for their home. This is the third unsuccessful attempt to hold a boxing match at Abbotsford and many of those present at Saturday's exhibition declared it to be the last time they would lejnd the countenance of their support to such farcical proceedings. Boxing when practised and pursued under proper conditions, and by those in whom the elenientary ruduncnts of 'cportsman^hip a/i'i fair play are implanted, is one of the most manly and scientific forms of sport recognised by athletes the whole world over, but indulged in under such circumstances as prevailed on Saturday night, it" becomes a disgusting ana degrading exhibition of the most vicous animal passions. Certainly nothing can be predicted with more confidence than that a repetition 5f such proceedings will do more to disgust. sportf-nuMi and influence, public opinion against the holding of such meetings than the utmost efforts' of those conscientious peoplo who constitute the anti-box- ii'iig element of the community .The word A'fake" has a nasty ring ,a- ���������bout it, but it was heard with peculiar insistence on Saturday evening. If is up to organizers, as wcH as fighters, to put up a,clean bill of fare when such is pai'd for bv a sport-loving public. H. H.

Few of those old time, pofitieians are here to relate how and. wiiat .took place in the'events previous to Confederation, but the work was nobly done.

We must provide teachers versed in their varied tounges to instruct them in all brands of a liberal education, physical, ' int'electual and moral.

The twentieth century \s indeed Canada's. Now "is a time of crisis, such as wc have never known.

I am trying to impress upon jobbers retailers and consumers i come in contact with that we have an abundant crop of all varieties of fruit, and that it will be to their advantage to handle B. C. fruit for many reasons. * Another point our growers and shippers ought to bear in mind is the fact that although all our fruit might be marketed in the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan, .it will be advisable to market a pfr- -centage of our output in the pr>- of Manitoba, for the purpose of n- t only selling our fruit but* tor lhe advertising of it, and also the possibilities of fruit growing of tho province of B.

Also please glance at England's greatness under a tariff which covered only ten articles, none of which was produced in. England. . When R.'chard Cobden made his heroic fight to abolish the Corn Laws, the accusation was made that. Cobden was not a n echo la r, nor oven a student���������only a bus'nes*' man. Jf breads! tiffs were allowed to enter England free of duty the farmers would be ruinud, sjo said, The orators.

Life is automatic or should be, and Natural Law is at work in the world of cconom'c3 as elsewhere.' David .Ricardo was a successful London business man���������a Jew.

'Three-fourths cf our Congressmen are lawyers; The laws they make are for lawyers. They v'.ew everything from*a sort of shyster standpoint.

We are.moving fast towards the age of the business man. Even the lawyers���������some of them���������are beginning to realize that to conserve business and not'"cSfssolve, disrupt arid disintegrate it is the wise pol- icy. We.need business men at the' head ofthis government, not attorneys for political parties. -Business men! Leaving the general subject of tariff for protection to be settled in these pages at another time, I want to say now that this country- needs no protection from Canada, or Canada from the United States This four thousand mi'.es of guar ded frontier with customs and a-jlt braid all along the route is an insult to the intelligence of the age. The very fact .that the frontier has to be guarded is a proof of the wrongness of the tariff law. Things should flow to where they are needed. Especially does This apply to the people who, are as intimately connected by language, literature and religion, social custom and blood ties as the Yankees and the Canucks. We are one people and to block our friendly, natural, commercial intercourse is an error of lawyers and law makers. Business men know bettor. It was the States that taught Canada how to pass tariff laws.'-We legislated against her, she turned the other, check and then gave us one on.the jaw. '.

It is a question of whether shi* will allow Uncle Sam to' ag"iin chuck her under the chin and say 'I love my Columbia, but oh, you Canada!' Uncle* Sam must stand on the stoop and state h.'s case with hat in hand. My plea is for absolute full ani complete free trade between Can ���������-.da and the United States. I have-heard every argument for and against this proposition. ��������� The only argument against it is' the neutralization of our tariff '. laws through goods being shipped into Canada from foreign countries and 'carricM.across the border. To remedy this Canada and the United State's might agree on the uniform tariff against foreign pro- products; else the free trade could apply exclusively to articles made orproduced in the respective countries. The States and Canada must get together. Common sense of the times demands it. Geography and topography demand it. The good of thepoeple on both sidis requires it. But is is 'a problem to be adjusted by business men not profession office holders nor. politicians who feed fat at the public trough. ��������� Business men three paces io the fore. THE MARKET. ��������� 4 ���������-��������� New Westminster, June 24th-- .The'market today was only average.- However trading .was fairly active. Strawberries and cher- res came in good quantities. It had been feared by* householders generally that the heavy rains of the past week or so would seriously injure these crops, but thes-^ /cars have not proved to be wcli founded. Wherever the growers u.sed straw between the rows of strawberries, they have not been been bothered with the grub that got' busy during the recent rains, ���������.���������neither has the fruit been injured Cherries have by no means escaped tin.' ram. Small globules of water form on the base of the cherry dining continued rains and this split-) the 11Ills globe open, which of course has the effect of rapidly deteriorating the fruit. A large .quantity of cherries have fallen off Llie trees during the past week or two. In spite of these adverse circumstances there will be a fan cherry crop. *���������','. Old potatoes continue plentifu' and cheap. Growers have planter! si considerable quantity to get ridd of them. As the price was low this has been found to be a'good method of disposing of them. New potatoes are now in, they are cheap too The reason for this is that old* potatoes being so plentiful and also being at their best of a fairly, good quality are used in preference to the higher pr'ijed new growth. One can see at a glance the-difference in price���������last year new potato toes brough five cents per lb. while this year they, bring only two cents per* pound. 'Market clerk"MacKenzie had the following to say ;���������.���������.' '"New potatoes were offered' at 2c a pound wholesale, but old ones - being so plentitul and .cheap, they did not find much favor with' the buyers." : "Prices remain at a satifactory standard and the demand such as to create a ready sale for produce offered." "Pork was hot sbplentiful and short of demand Avithprices higher than for many years. "Chickens were, in poor supply and all sold readily." '���������Broilers were in good supply and all sold at prices ranging in accordance to size." Market is being .held this week on Wednesday.
