Tl*« “Savate” In Boring.It Is hard to make an Englishman believe that a kick, however delivered, is legitimate fighting. The Frenchman’s point of view is different. Ho thinks that if a man is set upon by two or three ruffians, the person so attacked should be able to defend himself with all the limbs ho has. The uso of the foot therefore has been brought down to a system in France, and I was astonished to tind, on investigating this subject, that many English boxers have a great admiration for the French “savate,” and in each of the boxing schools I visited in Paris I saw several Englishmen being trained to wield the light fantastic toe in a way that would make Miss Lottie Collins shudder.—Robert Barr lu McClure's Magazine.
