It is true that the\nbrand of lacrosse furnished by the\nboys does mot compare with the real\narticle, as has been suggested by the\nspectators that come through the\nside gate, but when they get no support and practically all the members of the club are on the line-up of\nthe team it cannot be expected tbat\nthey can furnish a game like Westminster.

All that the Colonist company had to do with the\npamphlet was to print it, and it is\nin no way responsible, directly or\nindirectly, tor anything stated in it.\nThe pamphlet purports on the face\not. It to relate chiefly to the Country\nClubr but our inlormation is that it\nwas purely a private venture ot the\nsolicitor, whose name iB upon thc\ntitle page as compiler. We are told\nthat many people in Ladysmith havo\nassumed tbat the pamphlet was compiled lor this ofiioe and issued by it,\nand not unnaturally some feeling\nhas been aroused because nt tbe\nomission of thc name at that city.\nThe tacts are just as stated. It is\ntrue tbat the words, printed by the\nColonist presses, appear on the title\npage, but this is the usual commercial imprint which printing establishments put upon work done by\nthem. Neither the Colonist nor any\nperson connected with it in any way\nis responsible for the compilation or\npublishing of the pamphlet referred\nto or tor anything olso in regard\nthereto excopt the mechanical work.\"\n, With this number, The Chronicle\nenters upon its second year, and it\ntakes this occasion to thank its patrons for tlio generous support it has\nreceived since Its flrso issue oue year\nago.

Tod\nThe leading article ln the current\nnumber of the Nineteenth Century\nand After is \"written by Sir Charles\nTupper. Its subject is \"Thc Unity\nand Detence ot the Umpire.\" Ot thc\nmany who are discussing thnt question ln these days none has stronger\nclaims upon public attention turned\nto lt than has the venerable Canadian statesman. Nobody has done\nmore for the promotion ol Imperial\nunity and defence than he has,\nIn the concluding part ol this\nNineteenth Century article he dissents Irom the view that Canada has-\nbeen wanting In her duty in the matter of Empire detence. He points\nout that she. has spent millions in\nthe construction ot transcontinental\nrailways which have been declared by\nthe highest British navul and military authorities to be ol vital Importance to the detence ol the Empire. Her opening up ol Rupert's\nLand meant the preparing ot a vast)\nlions ever carried out such great undertakings without assistance. He\n((notes the words ol Karl Grey, .giving Canada the credit for blazing the\nway for the Confederation ol Australia. It was Canada, Sir Charles\nreminds his readers, who led the vari\nin tlio construction ot the Pacitic\ncable, the first link ln a new bond of\nEmpire.- Sir Charles Tupper, modestly refrains from mentioning that he\nhimself was one of the most forceful\nof the personalities by whom these\ngreat works were accomplished. The\npublic man who took a foremost\npart in them is 'by that great publifi\nservice well qualified to write upon\ntho problem of the unification and\nstrengthening of the Empire. His\narticle is singularly free from the assertive or controversial manner that\nis too commonly adopted ln Iho discussion of this subject, There is no\nlack of respect for the views ol others with whom ho is not in agreement, and there is, no emphasizing\nof disagreement. Sir Charles is sincerely desirous of forwarding the\ncause for which he is writing, and\nhe aims to harmonize and combine\nall the forces, along whatever lines\nthey may severally tend to move\nfor the malting of a more perfect Imperial, union. The article is submitted in tho hope that its suggestions\nmay be found useful in the consideration of n defence policy at the coming Imperial Conlerence. Sir Charles\ncites the action ol New IZealand, the\ntwo positions taken by Australia,\ntho resolution of the Canadian\nHouse of Commons, the existence of\ndissatisfaction in Ontario, Manitoba\nand British Columbia because no otter of a Dreadnought to the Imperial\nnavy was made by the Canadian\nGovernment, Lord Miner's view that\nthere Bhould be fresh centres of\nstrength, and Lord Charles Beres-\nford's opinion that th* great dominions should make proposals for\ndefending themselves. After adducing these acts and exuresslons to\nshow thnt diversity ot opinion exists on this question, Sir Charles\nproceeds to show that there is common ground under all these differences. The matter in common is.tbo\nfacilitating ot the means ot steamship communication among the partif\nof thc Empire. He adverts to Lord\nCharles Beresford's view that whut\narc particularly wanted and what\nthe dominions can help to secure,\nuro cruisers capable ot proeectlng\ntheir trade routes. It'these men and\nofficers of dominion navies received\ntheir training in the British service,\nthe dominions could keep afloat effective warders of the trade routes.\nSir Charles also draws attention to\ntho fact tbat the steamships of the\nfast Atlantic fleet provided lor bv\nhis Government were to be built under Admiralty supervision and com-;\nmnnded by officers ot the Royal Navy. He mentions that the British\ngovernment loaned the Cunard Steamship Company \u00C2\u00A32,(00,000 tor the construction of tbe Mauretania and Lu-\nsitanin, running between Britain and\na foreign port. Lastly, he quotes\nIrom tho resolution passed at the\nImperial Conlerence ol 1907 on the\nsubject ol the.All-Red line.\n. Ho believes that this scheme\nI would ufford a means of promoting\ntrade, mail, and personal intercourse, ns well as providing lor the\ndefence of thc Empire. It would, be\nbelieves, provide the fleet ot Royal\nReserve Cruisers, which, in Lord\nCharles Borestord's judgment, Is\nneeded to keep open the trades, routes'\nin time ol war, He considers that\nthis arrangement would servo until\ntho various dominions had developed\nsuch navies ol their own as the conditions might warrant. In Sir\nCharles opinion, it is all Important\nthat tho development ol naval policy throughout the Empire be carried\non without party difference. The\ntono ol his article is in keeping with\nthat view\u00E2\u0080\u0094Vernon News.\ntion.

Cotsworth, the eminent\nEnglish actuary, who was in Grand\nPorks last Saturday in the capacity\nol ono of tbe civil service grading\ncommission, is also a noted geologist, aud somo observations that he\nmade recently nre of moro than ordinary interest to every Canadian.\nMr. Cotsworth advanced the theory\nthat owing to the gradual tilting of\nthe globe liy the great weight o! ice\non the Atlantic hemisphere, thc position of the north pole is shitting,\nand the warm and habitable area ol\nCanada is extending gradually toward the Arctic sea. Mr. Cotsworth\nholds that at one timo tho north\npole passed through the south of -\nGreenland, there being no counterbalance of ice on tho Asiatic side,\nand tlftt it shifted gradually trom\npoint to point with thc formation\nor melting of ice crust on the sur-\nlace ot tho globe. That it was situated about one-third between thc present location and tlie SOth latitude\nabout 5000 years ago he has reason\nto believe from the form and position of tho Egyptian pyramids, which'\nwcre constructed purely for thc pur-\nose of taking easier calculations from/\nthe sun. They were built with a\nslope wli'th was always at one angle,'\nso that from thc shadow of the sun\nit would be an easy matter to calculate the period of tho year, tho\nmonth, the week and even the hour\nof the day. Mr. Cotsworth thinks\nthat there is no surer indication that\nthe pole is still moving than the\ngreat glacier at Glacier, D. C, which\naccording to the investigation of independent men of science, is receding\nat tlie rate oi twenty feet yearly.\nThat Mr. Cotsworth's theory is\nreasonable does not require a scientist to prove. Miners in tho Yukon\nhave dug up the frozen bones of\nmammoths, which could onlv have\nlived thero when the climato was semi-tropical. Great coal beds have\nhave been found in northern countries, beds that could linve been\nformed when tho rank vegetation of\nthe Turkish-hath, atmosphere of the\nthe carboniferous ago nourished In\npre-glacial epoch. The prototype of\nthe great fossils could not have\nnourished iu the stunting cold of Arctic winters. In addition to this tho\npioneers of the prairie provinces will\ntell you that the climate of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta is\nwarmer today that it was thirty or\nforty years ago. Then it was almost impossible to grow wheat that\nwould escape frost in districts wherj\nsummer frosts arc now rarely knownj\nMuch no doubt is due to the cultivation of the land, which renders the\nsoil porous, so that it retains the\nheat of the day, and radiates it\nthrough the night; hut this cannot\naccount for the fact that the basins\nof tbe Poace and Mackenzie rivers,\nthan Arctic wilderness, are now in\nyears ago regarded as little better\nplaces inhabited by settlers who\ngrow hard, red wheat frhm Edmonton 700 miles north, while the farm\ner is driving tho [ur trader from the\nchores of tho Lesser Slave lake.\nNorth of that again indefinitely cattle can be raised, and potatoes and\nvegetables and oats can be grown.\n'this northward movement of tho\ntemperate zone must mean that in\nyears to como Canada will be settled'\nli1)' a white people from the international boundary to the shores ot the\nArctic sea. In tlie far north settlement will bo more and more scat-\nlere.l, as it will require a larger\n.VI;\narea to sustain life in the short\nsummers, but some settlement there\nwill almost surely be, and tho great\nmining wealth of the Mackenzie river, of wh'ft'li we have heard but faint\nreports as yet, will, ns it becomes\ndeveloped, most surely moan the establishment of large camps along the*\ncourse of that great artery. All this\nwill call for thc construction of new\nrailways, because plentiful as the\nwaterways arc in the north, they; can\nonly be used for a portion of each\nyear. Thi3 in turn will menn vast\nexpenditure of capital, so that Canada before this century closes will\nbecome, il it is not now, the greatest field ol investment in the world.\nPrince Rupert nnd Edmonton and\nthc cities of the north will profit by\nthese great new openings, and the1\nsouth will also glean its share of\ntheir wealth. With all this 'in view,\nCanadians mav wofl rejoice that nature herself conspires with the march*\nof events to number their country\namong the great nations that are\nyet to be.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Revelstoke Mail-Herald.\nOdd Origin of\nea\nHow many people imagine that\nthat familiar word \"admiral\" Is\nanything but a thorough KngUsh\n\"word? Probably the last origin any\nwould give is Eastern. Yet its derivation . is simply \"Emir el Bash,\"\nwhich is Arabic for Lord of the Sea.\nThere is hardily a language that\nwe have, not put under contribution\nIor sea terms. The names of the. Various officers of a ship illustrate this\nmost viuidly.\nVCaptain\" comes straight from th-)\nLatin \"caput,\" a head; but \"mate\"\noRcs nothing to any dead language.\nThe word is almost identical' with\ntho Icelandic \"mati,\" which means a\ncompanion or equal. The derivation\nol \"coxswain\" would never be suspected. Coxswain was originally thc\nman who pulled the after oar oi the\ncaptain's,[boat, then known as acock1\nboat. \"Cock boat\" is-a corruption\noi thc word- \"coracle,\" and, as mos5\npeople know, the coracle Is a small\nround boat used for fishing on some\nof the Welsh rivers, such as the Wye\nand Usk. So coxswain comes to us\nfrom the Welsh. Other'languages are\nalso pressed into tho service.\n\"Commodore\" is simply thc Italian \"Commnndatore,\" or commander, and \"naval cadet\" was originally the French \"cahdet,\" which, going a step further back, has the same\norigin a\u00C2\u00BB the word captain. The rcaJ\nson of this apparent anomally is\nthat originally all naval cadets were\nyounger sons of noble families, who\nserved as privates previous to obtaining their commission.\nThere was never such a person as\n. \"Davy Jones,\" though wo frequently\nhear ot his locker. One ought to\ntalk of \"Dully Jonah's locker.\"\n\"Duffy\" iB the West Indian negro\nterm for spirit or ghost, while,\"Jonah\" refers to the prophet of that\nname.\n\"Dog watch\" is another .airtibus\ncase of a term gradually corrupted\n. out of its original form. Originally\nft-was '.'Dodge w,atcn,\" so described\nbecause it lasted only, two instead of\nthe .usual lour hourJS'and thu3 makei)\nit possible that-.the/'same men shall\nnot be on duty ovttfy day during tho\nsame hours. \"Dog watches,\" so\ncalled, nre from i to 6 and 0 to 8 in\nevening.\nSailors call meat \"junk.\" It is\nnot a complimentary term, for junk\nis nautical for a rope's end. Some\n8,000 years ago ropes wero made out\nof bullrushes, for which thc Latin\nword is \"junotts,\"\nNowadays we talk of \"port\" and\n\"larboard\" and \"starboard.\" Starboard has nothing to do with stars,\n\"starboard.\" Originally it was\nIt is really \"steor board,\" Anglo-\nSaxon for \"steer side,\" because in\nold galleys steered by an oar the oar\nwas fixed somewhat to the righthanil\nside ot the stern, and the helmsman\nheld the inboard portion in his right\nhand. As lor \"larboard,\" it is probably a corruption of lower board,\nthe larboard side being originally\nconsidered inferior to tlio other.\n\"Sheet anchor\" is the nnmo given\nto the largest anchor carried by a\nvessel. It is almost ns complete a\ncorruption as \"dog watch.\" '\"Sheet\nI anchor\" Is really \"shote\" anchor, so\nj-callad because it can, trom its great\nweight, be easily shot out Tu case of\nemergency.\nAgain, \"jury mast\" has nothing\ndirectly to do with It law court jury,\nthough both havo come Irom thc\nsame original word, \"jour,\" the\nmeans a mast put up temporarily-\nFrench for day. Juif/ ma3t thus\nfor a day\u00E2\u0080\u0094just as jury in the legal\nterm implies a tribunal summoned\nfor a short period only.\nuilding for\nthe Ages\nTo illustrate the slow and painful\nevolution of social proj-rcss, Olive\nSchrclner, in u recent article, uses\nthe figure of cathedral-building. Sho\nsays;\nyi-Ic who today looks at some great\nGothic cathedral in its final form\nseems to ho looking at that which\nmight have been a dream of some\nsingle soul of genius, who, waking in\ntho morning, found tho dream a\nreality. But in truth ils origin was\nfar otherwise. Ages elapsed from the\ntime thc flrst rough stone was laid\nas a foundation till thc last spire\nand pinnacle wero elapsed, and the\nhand which laid the foundation-\nstone was never tho same as that\nwhich set tho last stone upon the,\ncoping. Generations succooded ono\nanother,, laboring nt gargoyle, roBO-\nwindow '.and shaft, and died, leaving\nthe worir to others^ the first master-\nbuilder who drew up thc first rough\noutlino passed awny and was succeeded by others, and the detallB of\ntho work ns completed bore hut faint\nresemblanco to the work us ho devised it; no man fully understood all\nthat others had done or wcro doing,\nbut each labored in bis place, and\nthe work as completed bad unity; it\nexpressed not tho desire and necessity ot ono mind, but of tho unknown\nhuman spirit. And not less essential\nto the existence of the building was\nthe labor of the humble workman\nwho passed his life in carving gargoyles and shaping a tew roso-win-\ntlows, that that of the loftiest' master-builder who drew the general out.\nlines. And it was heroic; for-the\nmaster-builder who, though it were\nbut vaguely, had some image of what!\nthe whole work would \"bo when the\nlast stone was laid upon tbe copping and the last spire raised, it\nwas eaf/y to labor with devotion and\nzeal\u00E2\u0080\u0094though well ho might .know that\nthe placing ot that laBt stono and\nthe raising of that last spire would\nnot he his, and that thc building in\nits full beauty and strength ho\nshould never sec. But for tho journeyman laborer-who carried on his\nstones, and month by month tolled,\ncarving nt his own ' little gargoyle\nor shaping the traceries in his little,\noriel window, without any vision ot\nwhat the whole would he when completed, it was not so cosy; nevertheless, it waB through the conscientious\nlabors of such alone, through their\nheaps of chipped and spoiled stones,\ntheir half failures and almcfet blind\nsuccesses, that at the last the pile\ncould be reared in its strength and\nbeauty.\"\nCAUGHT IN A STAMPEDE.\nTwo years ago, when the cowboys\noi north-eastern Arizona came together to find out who was the \"bi'Bt\nman\" in various way, James Evans\nwon tlie steer-tying championship by\nroping, throwing and tying a vicious\nsteer in twent>-four seconds. But in\na recent rounl-up thc champion did\na more remarkable thing, hy which,\nsays the KanBas City \"Star,\" he\nsaved his own and another man'B\nlife.\nWhile he and some companions wcre\ncamping for the night on a high table-land, which ended a few riles\naway in an abrupt droy ot twn hoiks'\ndred feet, a storm swept through\nthe mountains. Mado nervous by the\nlightning, the herd of fifteen hundred,\ncattle stampeded in the direction ot\ntho precipice. Evans nnd his men\nmounted hurriedly and, circling to\nlho front of the maddened cattle,\ntried with whoops and revolver shots\nto turn them back.\n- In the dense blackness of the.night\nEvans's hornetmissed his footing and\nwer.t down in a heap, one leg in a\ngopher-hole, 'lho horso ol a cow\nboy named Davis, running close bo-\nhind, stumbled ovcr Evan's horse,\nand Davis, too, camo to the earth\nand lay still, unc6nscious.\nFiity yards away came the herd,\nand, a short tlnBh of lighting showed\nEvans tho situation. Tho Bwlltly\nmoving sea of cattle-, reached one\nhundred yards each way. Unable to\nleaving his. disabled comrade, Evans\ntook the only chance of saving 'both.\nHe emptied his own revolver and\nhis companion's into the center of\ntho herd, cutting a breach in the\nfront of the maSB. Then, throwing\nthe inanimate form of Davis over hii)\nshoulder',' lie awaited his opportunity.\nAs one of the leaders brushed by,\nEvans, with ono movement, put the\nbody of Davis across the shoulders\nof the steer, and mounted, also.\nVainly the animal leaped,,bucked and\nside-jumped. With' his legs wrapped\ntighly around the body of hl3 mount,\nEvans drove his spurs, deep in, .and\nheld himself and Davis in place.\nThe steer, wild with rage, agony\nand Iright, rapidly leftUhe herd in\nthe rear, and, veering to the right\nin a furious gallop, carried his riders' out of danger. Thon Evans\nrolled off the back of his strange rescuer, and a half-hour later, when his\ncowboys turned the herd at. the rim\nof tho canyon, and i-ode back to\nlook 'for the foreman and Davis! they\nfound them, both unconscious.' The\nweary Bteer, with hla sides copered\nwith blood, lay exhausted a short\ndlstanco awny.\nThe outfit ordered a medal for EvJ\nans, and the steer has been,pensioned for life on the best alfalfa in\nthe valley.\nevery detail of the train's progress\nover the line, He will have his own\nassortment of .questions to answer at\nevery stage' of the journey, and he\nwill be expected to maintain the -discipline of the railroad upon trains.\nThat may mean in one instance the\nejectment of' a passenger Who refuses to pay, his fare\u00E2\u0080\u0094and still ho\nmust not involve the road in any\nb|g damage suit\u00E2\u0080\u0094or in another, tho\nsubjugation! of some gang of drunken\nloafers. Tho real wonder of it is\nthat.so many conductors come as\nnear as they do to tho Chesterncldian\nstandards.\u00E2\u0080\u0094From \"The Fellows Out\nUpon the Line,\" bv Edward Hunger-\nford, in The Outing Magazine for\nJuly.\nROYAL MAIDS.\nTHE SPEED OF AUTOMOBILES.\nMany are the plans to curb tho\nautomobile speed maniac by legisl-v\ntion. One ingenious man has suggested that the chauffeur be fined nn.l\nthe automobile imprisoned, for a stated number of days! There may be\nsome sonso in that, ln spite of one's\nfirst thought. Certainly many auto-\nnipbilists have overriden public patience entirely and the situation is\nbecoming unbearable. A ghastly\nnumber of pedestrians havo already\nbeen slain this spring, and the total\nfor the season is sure to run very\nhigh.\n_The \"joy riders\" are thc chief\nsource of the trouble\u00E2\u0080\u0094chauffeurs who\nsteal their employers' machines out\nof hours and adventure forth eager\nto \"burn up the pavements.\" Legislators are passing measures looking\nto a more stringent license system;\nin some states a chauffeur who thus\n\"joy-rides\" may he arrested for lar-\ncency.\nIt is rather gartifying to find that\nthe actual owners of cars themselves\nare seldom so reckless of the rights of\nothers. Indeed, these owners, banded\nIn different automobile associations,\nore doing all they can, by advice and\nactive co-opcratlon, to remedy the\npresent dangerous conditions.\nThe final remedy, of course, lies -In\nImpressing deeply upon the minds of\ntho automobilists a strict system of\nautomobile, ethics. Adherence to good\nsportsmanship in nutomobiling, as in\nOther pastimes, will prove the radical cure,\u00E2\u0080\u0094From tbe View-point, in\nThe Outing Magazine tor June.\nWhen a reigning queen iu to be\nmarried sho must ho the one to\nbroach the subject first to hcr futura\nconsort. The same rule holds good\nwitli regard to all royal ladies who\nmarry commoners,\nThe late. Queen Victoria has told\nhow she managed to \"put the ques-\ntion\"to Prince Albert\u00E2\u0080\u0094how she first\nshowed him Windsor and its beauties\nand the distant landscape and then\nsaid, \"All this may be yours.\" The\nqueen of Holland on a like occasion\nsimply sent a sprig of white heather'\ntogging Prince Henry to look out its\nmeaning in a book of flowers and\ntheir meanings. The Duchess of Argyll took the following means oi pro-\nre sing to the Marquis of Lome; She\nwas about to attend a state ball anj|\njuro it out that she would choose as1\nher partner for the first dance the\nman she intended to honor. She selected the marquis, who subsequently\nbecame her hustoand.\nBut perhaps tho mo'st interesting of\nall ways chosen was that of tho Duchess of Fife. Sho took tho earl, as'\nhe then was, to a drawer and' showed\nhim Its contents. There he saw a\nnumber ol trifles ho had given her at\ndifferent times, including sprigs of\nseveral kinds of flowers, now dead,\nhe had picked Ior .her at various\ntimes. He was much impressed at\ntho sight, nor did it require words\nin her part to make her meaning\nplain.\u00E2\u0080\u0094London Answers.\nCOULD BURNS\nHAVE CONTINUED?\nTHE RAILROAD CONDUCTOR.\nAs a conductor he will probably\nbegin in the iroight service. His caboose will be a travelling oliice, and,\nmore than that, it will carry aU the\ngossip ol the division up and down\nthc line. It may be a homely littio\ncar; but it is just as sure to be a\nhomelike place. From its elevated\noutlook he may command a good\nview of the train away ahead to the\nengine, and he will bo supposed to\nknow all the while that the brake-\nmen are attending to their duties;\nthat the train is in good order, particularly that there are uo hot-\nboxes smoking away and in Imminent danger of setting fire to the\ntrain and Its valuable contents, j\nThere is a deal ol book-keeping to !\nbe accomplished in that travelling of-1\nlice. The conductor will receive the \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\nway-Mils of the Mrs of his train and I\ntheir contents, and he is held rcspon-' j\nslble ior their safe deliveries to their i\ndestination or the junction points\nWere thoy arc to be delivered to\nother lines.\nWhen he comes to the passenger\nservice there will lie still more bookkeeping to confront him, and ho will\nhave to be a man oi good mental attainments to handle all the many,\nmany varieties of local and through\ntickets, mllonge-boci'is, passes and\nother transportation contracts that'\ncome to him, to detect the good\n(rom the bad, to throw out the\ncounterfeits that aro constantly being offered to him. He will havo to\ncarry quite a money account for\ncash affairs, and ho knows that mistakes will have to bo paid out of hio\nown pocket.\nAll thnt is only a phase'\"of his\nbusiness. He is responsible for thc\ncaro and salo conduct of his train,\nequally responsible in the'last respect with the engineer. He also receives and signs for the train orders,\narouse Davis, and never thinking olj and lie, Is required to keep ln mind\nRemember, that a day or two alter\nthe cable informed, us that the negro, Jack Johnson, deposed Tommy\nBurns from the championshlp--of the\nworld there came another cablegram\nirom Burns asserting that Johnson's\n.seconds had induced the police to interfere and that he was strong\nenough to go on. \"Pictures will\nprove,\" cabled Burns, and now that,\nwo have the pictures with us we can\njudge for ourselves whether Burns'\nstatement can be accepted or whether it was but another excuse from a\nloser. Tho pictures certainly do\nprove that Burns was hopelessly outclassed from the 'beginning, physical*\nly,, scientifically, and in every other\nway, barring gameness. Ho had the\ntrue courage of the lighting man, 'and\nit is marvelous to us how he continued to fight despite tho terrific\nbattering he roeolved. The pictures\nshow Burns to have been tho receiver-general of a Duccessivc volley ol\nits-faults that would have hammered\ninto Insensibility a less sturdy man\nlong heforo the fatal fourteenth\nround was reached. But do thoy\nprove he was strong enough to con-\nto the end? Do they refute tho assertion of the polica that tho contest\nhad degenerated into a mere brutal\nassault?\nIt is true that Burns waB on his\nfeet and still lighting aggressively\nwhen the contest waB ended. But a\nminute beiore ho was lying prono in\nthc ring, and it was whilo ho was\nin thiB position that thc police, aa\nthe pictures show, decided it was\ntimo to cry enough. The pictures\nprovo that Burns could have gone\nfurther than the bout terminated,\nbut how long? Could he .have lasted\nIhe full limit oi twenty' rounds, aa\nBurns declares? Before the day ol\nmoving pictures -such a discussion\nwould havo created interminable\nwrangling,-but now that we have an\naceuratd reproduction of tlio contest\nto guide our judgment wo know that\nBurrs' protest is only partly substantial. That he could' havo remained a combatant to thc ond is\nmost uncertain.
