8 THE ARGUS TUESDAY, APRIL 5, 1698. ON THE TIP OF THE TONGUE A grocer on Kuet Main street has ha( card on which was printed "Spanich onions" displayed in front of his place for the few weeks, ami uow POIIH ic warrior has writleu "ant' IB frout of Spanish." Who said A i i showers bring The storm of to-day baa caused those who could draft an audience iu stores or -othf-r congenial meeting places to talk over the famous fight, which occurred atUarson City, last year. The veriscope picture? at the Casino, Monday were immense. Th viewed by a fair-sizt nudience ot men who represented almost every branch of business and professional life. They watched the quivering pictures for more than an hour and evinced the same interest which marked the crowd about the bulletin boards at the newspaper offices on the day of the famous contest when Corbett became er-champiou.

Edison's invention was successful in this in- etance. The pictures rarely failed to reproduce -perfectly every motion of the crowd anil fighters and each scene drew forth murmurs of approval or disapproval from all parte of the house. Each "swipe" on the Fitzsiminons' jaw or a dig in the CortKtt solar plexus caused a gruiit from some enthusiast who pictured himsplf iu a seat near the ringside. When the fourteenth and last round announced the spectators prepared to see the decisive blow which was called i chauce blow by tonic of those at tht ring side, and a foul blow by all of Corbett's friends. To-day, however, only a few think they saw bow it was -at any rate the ''machine" pictured Cor- suddenly falling on one knee in Fitz- corner.and in his efforts to rise lie fell on one elbow.

The referee's arm weut up and down as be called off ten seconds. Corbett pulled himself to the ropes and se out of the reach of the "machine. 5 There was much shaking of Pitzsimmone' hand, when suddenly from the darkness into the blaze of the picture -Corbett rusheo. He went to Fitzsim- -nions and gave him a vicious blow on the jaw, and a free fight of seconds, principals, and everybody else who could hit body, occurred. The "machine" rttw then at its best.

It tliowed the iiwh of men to the ropes, and in a moment all the audience in the Casino could see was a row of backs whose owners were guzing at the struggling maes already in the ring. It wus a thrilling sight to all who saw the pictures, and no one regretted that had attended tbisreproduction if only lor the glimpse at the pertect woiktng of the iliac-bine." Those who remember a letter which appeared iu the New York World soin after the fight from a disappointed "sport" who saw the tiirht and lost his money on Coibett, will appreciate one sentence which wasusedmryplainingthe defeat: "Corbett danced awjiy from Fitz'e lead, shot in his left on the Australian's ear and then looked at the machine nnd smiled. Every time ho landed safely he looked at the machine and smiled. That's hat licked him." And there was something in it. Excursion on Hie Erie to New York.

Every several result is threatened and judged by that which follows. Every one seems to be contradicted by the new; it is only limited by the new." It is with great enterprises as with men, they cease to interest us when we find their limitations. This store's newness of yesterday is threatened and judged by its increased newness of to-day. There are no limitations here, there is always progress. The old ways and methods of doing business have been left behind in the onward march of conducting affairs, The candle, the lamp, the gas of yesterday cast shadows in the path of the electric light of to-day, and so does the character of this store in its many interests and benefits for you outshine its yesterday.
