It was. in this 'arena that what Is said to be one of the most remarkable spectacles in the history of the sport was staged.

Is There An Electric Flat Iron In Your Home France will be constructed at no re mote date, but there is also talk of a tunnel between England and Ireland. This would restore to a slight extent the geographical union that existed be tween the two countries in one geologi cal' age thousands and thousands of years ago. Great Britain and Ireland were then separated only by a great valley. It is proposed to carry the tunnel from some point on the coast of Lan cashire to the nearest point in Antrim or down on the Irish coast, a subma rine length of 24 miles. One of the great benefits of the tunnel would be that It would shorten the transatlantic journey by at least 48 hours. It would also help the Irish cattle trade and the shipping of perishable goods, especial ly nsh, to English markets. Estimates of the cost of the proposed tunnel vary irom $35,000,000 to$80,000,000.
