À.- Summer In Brazil Ail about the farmh4use there grew flowers- and vines & every soôrt Wicb had spread into bbc neighbouring, fields froni some ganden abanidoncd long ago. Whoever had lived there last- and lb turned out tha,.t no oneî -jî the countryside could remem- ber who bbce last tenants wre- had loved flowers and onchards for at one side of the bouses there was the ruini of a fine or- (chard of fruit trees... Fromr the emineace 'f the abandoaed orchard there was one of those tantaliziag distant uicws wbî,hcb always make bill country fasciriating. Far below the Barreiros Farm there lay another valley witb a great mnarsb filling tbe hollow. Be- yond this. . . one could see the tiled -roof of a Great Bouse. Notbing but bbe roof was visible for the rest of the bouse wns cntirely coaceled by tbe buge pinerros wbicb, la full over- whelm the bouse la a froth of pink blossoms. 1 was also ta discover that, Ekie most Brazilian Great Houses, 't was almnost a mirage in itself, filled always with people of al ages, cousins, uncies, aunits, nieces, aephews, grandchildren el! the splendid matriarchal Doni- na Ottilia. A grent friendship was .destined ta spriag Up be-. tween the people of bbe Fazenda Ottilia and the people at Man- bando-Brazil, and there were te lie great visits and goings and comings fromr one fazenda te thec other wbich were la a sense real expeditions, because in Brazil wben anc goes visitiag, one takes al bbc fnmily down te tbe youngcst childrea and soinetimes evea dogs wbich, in Braxil, seemy to be more amnia- ble.,, The season was the end of summer wben bbc Brazilian sky is at bhc most beautiful. lb lsaa very special sky which from tbe tops of bbc ilîls appears langer than the sky elscwhcrc in the world.

John Sawchuck, The Day Chevalier Fought Carpentier Wbe- Georges Carpentier, f a- mous Frencb boxer, was ten be fouglit a big school bully of thir- teen and was gettîng the best of it wbea his opponent's tbree pals joined inl,.Georges was llgbting on fiercely against these over- wbelmng odds wben a mari camne up a3nd dragged. hlm away, de- m-anding: , 'What do you kids tbin yo'teup' to? Do you want te kilI the boy?" 11e asked Georges bis ame, then said: ".My nane's ]Iescamps. 1 run the gynnstic club <at the Maison d ý People. The lads mneet twvice a week, Tuesdays and Fridays. Wby don't you come along 'il '1 teaeh you somnething better than figbting la the street." That, proved te be the most fateful mneeting of Carpentixer's life. For be duly weat to the club at Lens, near tbe smnall mningm town in N. France wbhere be was born, and Descamps be.- came bis manager and friend througbout bis -career.The finger of destiny was already pointing the way. At Lievini, George's father drove a horse and cart for a f ac- tory and in Lens becamre a brew- ery mnaltsteýr, One of a large fa- mily, Georges says of bis child- hood: "We drank, beer at ait meals, ai sort of very light pale aie. 1 was actually weaned on this light beer ..ý. wh'en tbe time camne for mne to go on from milk this beer was put into a feediag botie-and 1 Ithrived on it. At sehool be soon won a re!pu- tation as n serapper against oider bulflies wbo thought he was eaýsy gamne, but qjuickly found that beigiht, weight and br~ute strengtb wee$everyýthing; speed and eaccuracy were mucbý(- more imi- portant. After a timec, Georges no longe«,r watited to be attacked; pick-ing- a lad of suitable size, ho chaJIenied hlm, nnd onily rnr-ely came off second best. Twice a weebý for two year, he attended "Professor" Dus- cams'gy classes ani. learned F-rench -and English boxiag- Wben a Ger-m'In circ.1s ,an-e tc Leas one of the arh t tok D)escamiips tbat in the troup, wa, an PAlgeýrian boy, Ai, good naý Englisbi-style boxïing. "Is h-e?'- said Descam-ps. "Well, I've goi a_ boy biere wbo's not bad at ail.' iA figbht was fixed whicb lastedi only ten seconds, Ali went down for bbe count fromn a series of quick a7bs to, the fnce fromr Georges,. A few days inter Descnmrps ,,nid: "You like boxiag, den't youi?" 11e was Sure be could mnake a champion of the lad, and soon promoted hlmta be is adult class, where he becamie best pu- pil- On leaving scbool, Georges worked' as riveter's mate at a iboilcsSmaker's; lawyer's messen- &er boy; ther) as a collecter for an insurance conlpany, HIe wasn't quite thirtee-n vwben Descamrps put hlmà down for a regiona' tournamnent 'n Bethune against a wmell-buîlt young cor- poral about 'twice bis weigbt. "I wvas more skilful than he was and very much quicker," he says i a vivid autobiography, "Car- pentier by Hîlmself,' translated by Edward Fitzgerald. "Before iong 1 found I could land wbeni- ever and wherever 1 liked. Two or three times hie Jost bis bal- ance trying to avoid my attacks an.d measured his length on the boards." It w-as so much a case of lit- t14 David floorîng Goliath that the auience began to laughand after bis victory a crowd of wveIl-wishers wanted te kaow nis age, Hatig to give it, he r- plied: "'Three years c11ý next Christmas." Thizee mnonths lier, Descamps entered him for the French ama- teur boxing championsbip to be held i'n Paris. H., couldn't afford the fare, so booked on1y ta Arras, then speat the, rest of the jour- ney -dodging out at stops, jum.ip- ing in agnin whea he saw wbere the inspecter was, and at the Gare du Nordi slipping out with a crowd of passengers. Hfe reacbed the semni-final; but wsdefeated by an oldezr ladt who floored hlim witb a painful sw%.inig to the face. "It made me realize," hie says, "that if 1 were ever going te turn boxing inmb -3 profession 1 should bave to flpd waTýys and means to avoid taking blows of that sort." For a time Dcscamips and some of bis best pupils - including Carpentier - toured villages and snall towas giving boxiag1nÏ e-thibitioý , If there wns zno hall tbey diti gymnnastic tricks la cafes, blnncjing, on chairs and tables, then passýed the bat, Later, tbey supplemeated t his with spoof tbought-reading. As thi s racket brought in a lot of money, Descamps proposed that Georges give up bis insr- ance work for fulI-timne boxing. Tbey made an, agreement that wýas neyer signedor i witnessed and neyer disputed by either throughout Carpentier's wýhole career. Only nnce were its terms t.agdwben Descamps suc- gested, after Georg-es' victory over Jiira Sullivan, that bis sbare rbould lhenceforth be oinly twenty tnstead of1hiry per cent, Georges was assisting at Des- lamps' boxing Jlessons at thet Lille Sorin Club whien gi client who happenied to be pass- ing thýrou.ghi came in for a little practice. "He's not very old, is he?," be sld when Descamps nr'eseated Georges. "Youl fmnd he'1l do," said Descamps. H1e can use bis hands." It was Mau- rice Chevalier, the famnous comedian, wbo was fond of box- ing. Later tb.ey becamo ý*fast friends.
