THE PUGILISTIC ARENA.
Its Occupants Discussed at Length
From an Artistic Point
of View.
A Diversity of Opinion Expressed
by Some Noted Sports
and Professionals.
Some Class It With the World of Art,
While Others Claim It Is
Butchery.
A question involving social ethics has
arisen in this city within the last forty
eight hours. It was brought to public at
tention by a letter sent to Mr. Mulholland,
chief inspector of contract laborers at the
barge office, says the New York Recorder.
The letter was signed M. It. Worrell, and
from its tenor the writer is presumed to be
a woman. The writer wants to know why
Francis Patrick Slavin and Mr. Charles
Mitchell are allowed to come to America to
fight under contract, while an American
woman cannot import a servant.
The question has narrowed itself down
to these few words, "Is a pugilist an ar
tist?" As will readily be seen, these five
words are pregnant with philosophical in
terest. At least, such is the opinion ex
pressed by such men as E. J. Henley, the
actor; Charles Harris, the comedian; Steele
Mackaye, Henry E. Dixey, Billy Edwards,
Frank Stevenson, Paddy Green, bartender
for Steve Brodie, and the inimitable Patsy
Doody, the pride of the Fourth ward.
The four first named gentlemen were
seated around a table in the Hoffman house
art gallery yesterday afternoon just before
the dinner hour. Mr. Henley was looking
into the cool, green depths of a mint julep,
while his right hand tinkled the ice against
the sides of the glass with two old-gold
straws. He is a tall, nervous young man,
whose apparently frail body contains a good
deal of vital force.
"Is a pugilist an artist?" he repeated in a
tone of dreamy introslection. "Decidedly,
yes. A first class, top notch pugilist has
attained a very high artistic altitude. Let
us depart for a moment from the main
question at issue and consider the tout en
semble or proper environment of the puail
istic profession in a fight to a finish. The
half naked men, the glistening bodies, the
perfect machinery of the human f. oame! See
the flashing eyes, the tragic attitudes of
the men! Then look at the spectators.
Mark their eager attention, their shouts of
aporoval when a good blow is delivered.
All this goes to make up a picture such as
artist never put unon sanvas. These are
accessories such as never grace the boards
of a theater. Now, as to the question per
se. A man who can whip every man who
stands before him must be an artist, be
cause he has demonstrated his ability over
some one else. A dog which can whip
every dog brought against him is an artist,
a barber who can cut your hair in a more
artistic manner is an altist. The artistic
idea is, after all, only one of degree, and I
will bet a hundred that Frank P. Slaviu can
whip John L. Sullivan if they ever come to
gether."
"I'll take that bet," said Mr. Harris.
Steele Mackays combated Mr. Henley's
argument. lie wanted lienley to define his
idea of art so that a premise might be es
tablished from which to argue. Mr. Mack
aye claimed that a pugilist was not an art
ist ecausahe creatednothing. T'hepugilist,
he said, was purely an agent of destruction.
ioe used mechanical means to a mechanical
end. 'L'here was nothing of the nature of
inspiration in his work.
"But," said Mr. Ilenley, "did not Mr.
Sallivan create when he introduced the
knock-out blow into pugilism? Where did
he get that blow if he did not conceive it in
his big brain, just as Raphael conceived the
picture of the Madonna? Didn't he shape
that idea out of immaterial and unsubstan
tial thought and then use his big, substan
tial and material fist to place it where it
would do the most good? I guess he did.
Mr. Mackaye, take a little elixir and quick
en your intellect. What'll ye have?"
T'he question was gainine in interest.
The waiters were attracted and stood
around in listless attitudes. While Mr.
Henley lifted a glass of Hoffman House
nectar to his lips Mr. Henry E. Dixey, who
had just returned from Boston, said in his
lazy Mark Twain drawl:
"In my humble opinion the pugilist
ranks with the butcher or the surgeon. If
they are artists he is one. Certainly it
cannot be denied that the pugilist is a deco
rative artist. The mroan who comes out of a
fistic encounter with a bloody nose, two
black eyes and his skull punched into the
shape of a Chinese pagoda must have a high
regard for the artistic ability of his antag
onist. No; pugilism, in my opinion, is
about on a par with suicide and murder. I
enjoy boxing for points, and I make a de
cided distinction between boxing and fight
ing. There isn't anything artistic to me
in the spectacle of a man whose vitality has
been pounded out of him and who is in the
give-my-chewing-gum-to. my-sister condi
tion, and who is urged to 'go for him again,
Billy.' Considering pugilism as an art it is
interesting to see the English genus of the
species in his native land. He wears a tip
pet around his neck and his hat on one side.
He talks from his fifth rib. If a big gun
wants to witness a little mill he sends for
Muggins, and the big gun looks him over
like a buyer would size up a Berkshire hog.
Then he says, 'Mug, me boy, I want you to
meet Sooggins next week. Now, run along
and get yourself in shape.' In America,
the human animal shakes the hands of
aldermen and senators and drinks over the
same bar with them on terms of perfect
equality. These men may be artists, but I
can't see it. Do I squint?"
Mr. Billy Edwards thinks that a pugilist
is an artist, and a progressive one at that.
He calls attention to the progress made in
the art, as he terms it. during the past thir
ty yeats. There was a time, he says, when
endurance was the only thing that counted
in the ring. Now it was a question of a
few blows delivered in the right place.
These places, he said, were the point of the
chin, the carotid artery, the heart and the
stomach. Pugilism was an art, in Billy's
opinion,'which consisted in hitting your op
pinent as often as you could and avoiding
punishment yourself.
"What were your eyes and your hands
given you for," he continued, "if not to
Iroteot you in the manly art of self de
fense? And where does the expression
'manly art' spring from if not in the popu
lar appreciation of pugilism as an art?"
Frank Stevenson, who has acted as a ref
eree in more fights than any man in New
York city, expressed a strong aflirmative
opinion. Mr. Stevenson has both experi
ence and judgment. He ieferced the Jack
McAuliffe-Jem Carney dispute at Itevere
Beach, near Boston. When the disputing
artists had arrived at a critical stage in the
performance Mr. Stevenson's di: irning eye
eaw several lovers of art it the ring-side
elevating bottles and lifting 44-calibres in
an artistic and thieatening manner. lie
very wisely decided that neither artist had
demonstrated his superiority over the other,
and rendtered a quick decision to that ef
feet. As he elegantly expresses It, "I think
I saved my topnot by that decision." Inm
effect Mr. Stevenson's opinion is thatt a
pugilist of the first order is an impression
ist of the highest ability. He produces col
ore of the brightest verinilionr tint, and scat
ters them around with the moat reckless
profur iou. One of Slavin's or r'ullivtn's
smashes prodnces a very striking effect.
It usually.raises lumps, swelled ncut . and in
terferes seriously with nasal cartilage. Hu3
canvas becomes cove ed with blacks, blueo
anud reds, bestowed with lanre and liberal
hands. 'there could be no question of the
proleoiency of a pugilist as an artist.
Mr. Paddy Green, who noets s artistic
compounder of Bowe'r cocktails and Hester
strea t lemonades for Steve Ilrodie, said:
"What is a artiat, anyway?"
"lie's ii man as paints pictures, you silly,"
said a bystander.
"Well," said Paddy, "I never heard that
John L. could paint pictnres. I know be
can break 'em. But 11 bet he can unjoliut
1iavin's nose wid his left while I'm swally
in' a whisky sour."
Mr. Patsy Doody summed up the question
about eas tersely en it could be exprorse I in
tae following words:
"You see, it' ii ke this. To tho F~'rfh
warl a pugilist is ia l:oirr. but in the Man
hattan Athletic club he's an artist."

THE COOK AMALGAMATOR.
THE COOK AMALGAMATOR may take the place of the ordinary mill
tables and operate close up to the batteries, or it works with splendid results on
the tailings from: other amdtlgamatin; devices. It is
CHEAP, DESIRABLE AND EFFICIENT,
and will save ninety-nine .er cent. of all the metals which will amalgamate, no
matter how fine, and the seured quick in the tailings from other amalgamating
apparatus. There are very many plaes ta Montana whoere the Cook Amalgamator
will pay for itself every month.
