NEW YORK, Aug. 14. "It Isn't at atl
strings that crack pugilist are good
cater," said the old' New York
port last week. "Some of the old
time champions knew how to order and
lived on the fat of the land. Tom Hyer,
for Instance, was the Idol of the old
Washington market butchers and could
go as far as he liked.
" 'Here, Tom, is one of the finest five
pound steaks that I've aver rut. I'll send
It across to the restaurant and have It
cooked to a charm for you." said Bob
Bennett, one of Hyer't admirers, year
ago,
" 'It's a grand piece of meat, Bob, but
C'lh have to get somebody to help me con
ume It,' replied the old champion, who
hunted up two broken down sports and

oever eared to eat alone.
"John C. Heenan was a good liver and
always put up at first class hotels. He
rather surprised the sports of England
aith his lavish ways. Ha was also a new
type of a fighting man to them. They
had been used to the low-browed fellows
frith the puglllstlo swagger and rough be
havior. But Heenan wa an American
fighter who wore a silk hat and fine
llothes and who lived like a lord.
"When John Morrlnsey first came down
from Troy ha was a rough and ready
ehap. but he soon got In with the big
(amblers here and learned to eat and live
tike a royal person, for, let me tell you,
the old time gamblers as a class were
kmong the best feeders In town. They

"When Morrlssey ran the big ctubhouse
It Saratoga wltn his partner, Reld, he
rave some swell dinners. We could always
et the beat to eat and drink there, even
ratter than at the big hotels where the
gillllonalres stopped. But Morrlssey, like
nany other men of humble origin, would

"The Most Valuable Book Ever Published
on the Subject of Training for Business"
HE new book just off the press and fresh from the hands of binders "Bread and Butter
Sciences" has stirred the business college world from top to toe. One of the greatest
authorities in this Whole country has emphatically declared it to be "the most valuable
T
book evervpublished on the subject of training for business." An immaculate book of 84 beautifully-illustrated
pages; portraying the highest letter press art; known, bound in white boards,
with an overthrow sheet of super-calendared stock bearing the impressive title "Bread and But
ter Sciences" embossed in pure gold leaf, with a protector sheet of moire tissue covering all.
Typographically speaking, this book is a "dream."
i t '
Within its covers is .gathered what is probably the most comprehensive collection of au
thentic facts and eye-opening information relative to every phase of the subject of taking up a
career as a Stenographer, Bookkeeper, Telegrapher or Civil Service Appointee that you could
possibly ask. From the earnest, impressive, heart-to-heart talk with which the President starts this
book, to the very last page, the whole book will prove of intense, absorbing, gripping interest
to any person earnestly wishing for better things for a greater, brighter, more prosperous future.
No one can possibly read "Bread and Butter Sciences' and not be the better for it. There is in it that which
will surcharge even the sluggish with the electricity of hope and ambition that will put a keener edge on the
determination of the person who has within the seeds of success that will spur on .the discouraged that will energize
the despondent. Here is a book that is not a mere business college catalogue. Here is an inspiring publication that

table In the clubhouse. There were many
prominent politicians there, too, '
" 'Gentlemen, what's your order? asked
fclorrlsey several times without receiving
any definite reply.' "At last an up-state
politician broke loose with this remark;
" 'I'D order, gents. Give u ham and
eggs alt around. Morrlsey and the whole
crowd burst into a hearty laugh at the
piker's order and John then aald:
" 'Well, senator, you can have all the
ham and egg you want, but give me a
big plate of pig's knuckles and nauerkroui
as long aa we are getting down to common
everyday food.' Then the rest of the
party ordered a repast that extended from
soup to nuts.
"Old Jem Mace when he was In business
here with Phil Hargraves in Twenty-third
street near Sixth avenue was a robust
eater. He liked fine, big mutton shops
and luclou steak with good old fie on
the aide. Seeing a young boxer eating
watermelon and pie one day Mace turned
to his partner and exclaimed!
" 'Hi say, PhiL' 'Ow can that blawnUd
chap do hany flghtin' on that stuff, eh?'
Mace was very fond of eating at the old
House of Lords, in Houston street, and
other chop houses that reminded him of
borne. .
"To 'ell, with these fawncy dishes,' he
would say. 'Give me the good hold roast
beef and Yorkshire puddin'. That's the
stuff ter make you folght. me lad.' But
Mace waa always a pretty careful liver
and never drank or ate to excess. Today
he's 78 anj as lively aa a cricket.
"When Joe Coburn was the special pet
of the multi-millionaire. Oeorge Law, he
lived at the top notch. Law thought noth
ing waa too good for his favorite fighter
and often staked Joe to a couple of thous
and plunks at a time. I saw Law and Co
burn many a time dining In the swellest
hotels along old Broadway. It was Law
who gave away $30,000 worth of diamonds
to some sports and pugilists at Saratoga
one day Just as present. It waa no wonder,
therefore, that Coburn became a high liver
with such a liberal friends behind him with
an open Purse, But this eating and drink
ing soon made an old man of Coburn long
before his time.
"Law gave Coburn a couple of saloons,
but they were failure because of the
Cg bur's habit. In hi cups Coburn was
always quarrelsome, and nothing pleased
him more than to wallop a' cop. The
police, however, finally got Coburn and
after beating lilm almost to death they
sent him to Sing Sing for about four
years. Law and all Ms money could not
square it for Coburn, who came out of
prison a physical wreck. I remember he

Address, H. B. DOYLES,
van the year before had won the chant'
plonshlp from Paddy Ryan,
"When Sullivan fought that big horse
market ' bally" 'John Flood on a barge
anchored off Yonker one night In ISM
practically all the New York sport
believed Flood would win. About . an
hour before Flood entered the ring, how
ever, he Insisted on having a big steak In
spite of the protests of his trainer, Johnny
Welch.
" 'I'll not fight unless I get the steak,'
raid Flood. t want to be good and
strong!' So they let him have a couple
of pounds of beef, and when Sullivan
proceeded to punch him In the stomach
In the early part of the battle Flood be
came 111. Flood knew nothing about ring
rules or physical condition and could not
understand the Idea pf fighting on an
empty stomach. Sullivan therefore An
nihilated him in eight fierce rounds.
"Sullivan was on of the greatest feeders
I ever knew. In hi prim It ooald eat
more than any fighter in the world. One
night he went to supper In Brooklyn with
his backer, Charley Johnson, and Jimmy
Dreyfuss. a friend. They each ordered a
doubt porterhouse steak with the fixing.
Johnson waa a very poor eater and got
away with only a small portion of his meat.
Dreyfuss wasn't very hungry either, and
hardly ate a mouthful. Sullivan, however,
quickly devoured his steak, after pouring
a lot of tobasoo sauce on it and then
gobbled up the steaks of his friends. When
be had finished the whole business, Bui
llvan looked over at Johnson and said:
" "Charley, I'm not feeling very well to
night, or I'd order something else!'
" 'I'm very glad indeed, John, you're not
feeling just fit,' replied Johnson. 'If you
wr you'd eat the whole restaurant out!
When did you eat last?'
" 'Oh, I had a fine course supper about
couple of hour ago," said John, blink
ing, 'but there' nothing like a good, solid
teak, Charley, you know!'
"When Jack Cusack kept a chop house
In lower Broadway Sullivan mad It hi
hangout for many years. One of John's
favorite dishes was pigs' head and cabbage.
Frequently I saw the big fellow polish tiff
a double portion of this kind of food, wash
ing It down with a dosen big mugs of heavy
ale. This big eating and drinking knocked
all the fight out of the once great slugger.
"When his bank roll can stand It Jack
MeAullCfe eats at the most expensive
places. When he did London and Pari
som years ago with Big Tim Sullivan be
showed the senator from the Bowery many
thing about good eating. He also taught
Tim a lesson about ordering a high class
meal at Coney Island later.
" Jack, Just entertain these three friends
of mine until I get back. Won't be gout
more than thirty minutes,' aald Big Tim to
McAullffe one afternoon In a restaurant by
tb sea.
" 'Sure I will.' replied the former light
weight champion as he called the waltor.
The senator came back In about an hour
and found McAullffe and his friends In a
merry won Sullivan smiled and said he
was glad they were having such a good
time and when it was all over he asked for
the bill.
" 'It's ISO,' said the waiter without turn
ing a hair. Tim paid over the coin with
an amused expression and then slapped
McAullffe on the back.
"Well, Jack, old boy.' he exclaimed,
'you certainly can order.' Cut where did
you get your millionaire Ideas fromf
" 'From Paddy ths Pig.' responded Jack.
'He knew how to travel ft ret cabin.'
"Another night McAullffe was sitting
oa the porch of a Coney Island hotel with
Tom Sharkey.
" 'It' a queer thing,' aald the sailor,

" 'Lossen up, monl Loosen up! Why

" 'Ah, but that's piking!'- said Jack
Why, I took a lady to a little fish dinner
last night at Manhattan and my bill was

" 'A little fluh dinner for two? Thlrty
slvln dollars and a half? Howly Murt.her!'
cried Sharkey In amaxement. 'Why, yea
must 'a been eatin' gold fish!'
"McAullfle declares even now that Shar
key was one of the cheapest feeder he
evor ran up against. He says that when
he brought the sailor from 'Frisco to show
on the road Sharkey on hi way east re
fused to stop at any kind of a classy hotel
and hunted up some sailors' boarding house,
also that he traveled in second class earn.
" 'I tried hard to make a swell out of
Sharkey,' says MaAuliffe, 'but he was
galted wrong. The beanery for Jjim all the
time.'
"Sharkey, by the way, says that Jack
If he bad the Standard OH riches would

"Charley Mitchell and McAullffe had
many a good time, both here and In Kng-
lund. They were two very warm birds, I
can tell you, whenever they started out for
an evening's lark in London. With Squire
Abingdon, the multi-millionaire, behind
them they enjoyed an unlimited amount of
fine eating and drinking. Another of Mitch
ell's friends wa Lord Cecil, whose father,
Lord 8aJIbury, was the premier. So you
ee that Mitchell dined and wined with Ah
bft, including King Edward when he was
the Prince of Wales.
feier jacHson, the Australian negro
heavyweight, was also a stickler for good
food and always tried to patronize the
sVell restaurect thoae that were willing
to serve him. When Jackson first went to
England he was allowed to eat at the finest
hoti-ls and cafes.
"Eob Fltxslmmons. waa never what I
would call a high-class feeder, CKpeoialiy
if he had to foot the bill. He and Spike
Sullivan are In the same boat They can
cook their own meals, wash dishes, sweep
and make themselves useful about the
kitchen.
"Poor Con Reardon, who waa accidentally
killed while sparring with Fllxulmmons at
Syracuse several years ago, eoudl eat a
leg of mutton without the slightest Incon
venience. Heardon was training a fighter
once down at Coney Island when Paddy
Gorman, the Australian middleweight, told
the proprietor of the hotel that Heardon
could carry more fod in hi stomach than
he could on his back. This so alarmed tho
landlord that he promptly raised the price
of Reardon's board and Con went gunning
for Paddy' scalp.
'There I no fighter In the ring today
more classy In his eating than Young Cor
bett. He learned to cultivate nts tame for
rich food In the lobster palaces on liroaj-

thi first time. For two years he went the
route that gets them all and didn't tuke
a tumble to himself until he was (lone
broke. Later, when Corbelt and McOovern
went on the road together giving boxing
exhibitions, they never at or lived alike.
Corbett always stopped at the best hotels
and lived on the fat of the land, but Mo
Got em was satisfied with huinuie fare and
a cheap room.
"When Jefferies first struck New York
be didn't have much of an Idea about good
eating. I remember one night after he bad

champion to eat in.
' " 'Why "the Tood is All' right. I've tried
It,', exclaimed Jeff, But, the other fellows
put up such a stiff argument that thd
newly made champion consented to be led
Into a better restaurant. Of course 'it' dif
ferent now with Jeff. He has learned some
thing about high life and he can polish off
an expensive meal with the best of them.
"Stanley Ketchel a few years ago was
A waiter In a San Francisco restaurant,
where he learned much about the gas
tronomic art. When he was training up In
Jerome avenue for his recent battle with
Jack O'Brien I sat at the dinner table with
h'im one day and discovered that he was
quite an epicure for a man of his calling,
lie knew what and how to order In good
form and how to eat it. Ketchel Is not1
such a heavy eater as Sullivan and Jef
fries, but puts the food away like a healthy
young man with an open air appetite.
"Jack Skelly, the former featherweight
champion, recently astonished ume of the
natives of Yonktrs by ordering a canva&s
back duck stuffed with chestnuts and with
a lot of fancy stuff on the Bide for lunch.
When Skelly finished the repast his bill
was something more than S10. Pretty good
lunch for a flstle guy, eh?

know at first what things are good to eat
