FROM QUARTERS Er- TO RING. Movements of the Pugilists Before the Fight. CARSON CITY, Nev., March 17—Dawn of the battle day in Carson City was all that cculd be desired by the several thou- sand people who have traveled many miles to this snowbound state to see the great fight. Late last night the weather was bitterly old, the sky overcast with clouds and light flurri ow fell se eral times, with every Indicction that, d ak would find the prospect for a cold, cloudy day ahead, and haps sever: inches of snow on the gro’ and in such case there would have been great disa pointment in this section of the world, for it had been officially stated that the battle would not occur unless the sun was shin- ing so that the verascupe could be worked but the reputation of Carson weather at ar asserted itself and r 6 o'clock the sun rose over mountains and in a short time the whole valley and white mountains on all sides of it were glistening in bright- ni pe ot a cloud was to be seen anywhere, and while the air was cocl and sharp and there was a cove of white frost on the streets there wa in the temperature, and it could be re: predicted that when the sun was a few hours higher the day would be a perfect No news has been received in town of the training quarters th morning. but with all the s favorable it was known reason to change the been made. astir early, and cro’ ihe hotels and rail- ing trains, from either arly in the that there wa gram ne t began to gather n connection with the fight. center of activity was the Arlington re the sporting men have been bit of congr ting ever since the has been under way in the vicinity of arson City. It was a wise man who rose from his bed early and did a little les work in the direction of the dining room early the day for the sake of getting a breakfast. ‘The hotel dining room is not large, and it will not accommodate many at one time. The first ones to arrive were sure of their but along toward the fag end of the hungry followers of the noble tor thelr breakfast, came out of the t with an empty stomach and were d to rush for the nearest restaurant, the restaurahts of Carson are not many, nor are they on a par with those of larger cities. The late arrivals were not many, however, for the large mafority of the men who have come here to witness the fight were up early, and ate their breakfast In short order after they appear- ed in the office of the hotel. Most.of them zed that a fight at 11 a.m., with two other fights to follow, meant no lanch at noon, and they took no chances on getting & good meal at the opening of the day. By § o'clock this morning the hotel office was crowded to suffocation, and for several blocks down the ‘street groups of men tuod, ail in earnest conversation, and the topic with nearly all of them was the com- parative merits of the two men. Around the hotel office the scene was one of lively bustle. The big blue chart of the ring was lying on the counter, and two men were constantly engaged in selling seats and | making the final arrangements for caring for the crowd which saw the fight. In front of the office stood Dan Stuart, as cool in the climax of his work as he has been in perfecting the work to conclusion, Stuart Disappointed at Attendance. is my one chance to get even, said, “after three years of hard work that | I have been through with all these fighters. It marks the beginning of the end with me, and I rather think that when this thing is | over that I will be out of the fighting busi- ness for good. I am not making any_pre- dictions regarding what Ir may do here- after, but I do not think I wilh undertake any more fights.” : Stuart expresses himself as being. gome- what disappointed at the attendance, which has been smaller than he has heen ‘expect- ; ing, but he viewed the matter in the sto- ical manner in which he takes ail of ;his troubles. aw “There are not more than 8,000 here, are’ there?” he said with a smile. “but it is the WASH P ried INGTON, ie Ox best we can do. There is no use of making any fuss. Carson {s a long ways for lots of the boys to come, and the hard times have made it impossible for many men to spend $200 to come here to see the fight and get home again.” ‘The pool room of Corbett & Coleman, across the street from the Arlington Hotel, was filled with men this morning, who were anxious to put their money on the fight. Outside of the pool room many small bets were made, with Corbett the favorite at odds of 2 to 1. The mass of the sporting men are with Corbett, many because they like him, and many because they dislike Fitzsimmons, and would be pleased to see his head punched into mincemeat. The magnificent form shown by Corbett in his training, and the somewhat erratic manner in which Fitz has gone through his work of preparation, but which, it must be confessed, has left him in as good con- dition as the champion, has also tended to keep down the amount of money which is going in on Fitz. At Corbett's Quarters. Although many of tke members of the camp at Shaw's Springs were up at day- light, not a sound was allowed to disturb the morning silet.ce until about 7 o'clock, when Corbett awoke. The big fighter hur- through his bath and dressed, and secon entered the parlor of the hotel, where his trainers and relatives anxiously await- ed him. A cheery “Good morning, ever: body,” showed his temper to be in sat factory condition. “How do you feel, Jim?” White anxious- ly inquired. ; “Fine as silk, Charley, old boy; never better,” and the champion slapped his groom on the back with a friendly energy which almost upset the stout New Yorker. White led Corbett to a window, where he carefully looked him over, paying particu- iar attention to the appearance of his eyes nd questioning him as to how his lurigs and throat felt. “You couldn't be in better shape,” was the trainer's verdict when the examination was “Your wind is perfect, your eyes clear and you are fit in every way for the fight of your life.” Corbett declared he had had a splendid sleep and was greatly rested and refresh- ed. He took a turn or two on the hotel veranda and then had breakfast. A Final Conference. Before 8 o'clock Brady, Whit and Corbett retired to the latter's bed room for a final conference. White did most of ths talking, prefacing bis instruc- tions with a little oration, in which he pointed out that the “eyes of the world are on Jim," and “the supremacy of America in the prize ring depended on today’s bat- tle between an Englishman-born and an American-born.” White's fina’ instructions consisted al- most entirely of admonitions to keep cool. He time and time again warned his man that angry rushes would insure the vic- tory to Fitz. “You must keep your temper, Jim,” he said, “and not be in too big a hurry to pat that fellow out. Just be cool and careful every ininute you are in front of him. He 1s expecting you to go at him like a bull at a red blanket, and you must fool him. Delaney and Brady followed with talk on similar lines, and to all Corbett prom- ised faithfully to fight carefully and coolly, He was warned particularly to look out for the work at close quarters. The conference closed with mutual ex- pressions of confidence on the result, and a rather solemn handshaking all around. By this time it was well on toward 9 o'clock, and Corbett began his dressing for .the ring. His ring costume *consisted ot his usual white trunks and tight-fitting shoes, he having decided to fight without tights despite the cold climate. For his trip to the arena he added the gray check- Geo, Siler, the Referee. ed sack stit in which he had done his training, and his blue sweater, white and black checked outing cap and gray mixed bath robe completed his carriage costume, the robe being thrown around his should- ers. over. , Delaney Confident to the Last. “It 1s too late to talk now,” Corbett said as he stepped for a moment before leaving his room he time has now come when Fitzsimmons and I can finish our argu- ment without talking. I don’t know how he feels about it, but I am very, good just now. I am going to win the fight, and 1 am going to win it fairly. I have trained faithfully and have been well handled by my trainers. My condition is entirely satis- factory to myself and my friends. Fitz is in good shape, too, I am told, and I am glad he is, for I wish to win this fight strictly on ‘ts merits. 4 don’t want to do any boasting now. I will do my talking after the fight.” “Everybody knows whether the man is in condition or not,” said Charley White, the head trainer, “and you can judge from that whether I am satisfied with my work. When I took hold of Jim I said I would put him down at the ringside in as good shape as any man ever*fought in, and | have kept my promise. As to his winning, of course, I believe he will win. Fitzsim- mons is a great fighter, but Corbett is a greater one, and today he will prove that we have not overestimated his ability.” White expresses my sentiments exactly,” said Billy Delaney. “We are proud of the condit:on in which we have put our man, and we expect a few hcurs hence to be proud of the condition in which he has put Fitzsimmons, for Jim is going to win.” The lumbering, three-seated coach wh: for months has done duty in bringing visitors to the camp had been drawn up befure the hotel veranda, the four horses eager for the start. “AU ready,’ said White, and Corbett ran nimbly down stairs and took his place on the back seat. White, with the collar of hia red sweater turned up to his ears, followed, and Brady, McVey, Delaney and Joe Corbett tok the other seats. Drove to the Arena. It was but a little after 9 o'clock when the long-bearded native who sat in the box yelled out to his horses, and the drive to the arena began. A carriage containing Jeffries, Woods and other attaches of the camp had already started, and a_pro- cession of carriages, carts and mounted men followed the coach on the two-mile drive thrcugh the little city and out to the arena. The Corbett party was rather quiet during the ride. Jim leaned com- fortably back in the corner of his seat, no trace of excitement or uneasiness ap- pearing on his face. “I am glad it will soon be all over,” he remarked once or twice, as he noticed a familiar landmark. He added with a con- fident smile: “When we come back we will have the undisputed championship with us.” Joe Corbett and McVey were the liveliest membeis of the party, but even they were mere quiet than usual. As Corbett was récognized when the coach entered the town he was encouraged by shouts from hig. admirers, and when the arena was } réached the crowds about it cheered loud- ly as the party left the vehicle for the -@ressing room No time was lost in strip- (Continued on Second Page.)

The holiday of the House and Senate gave the members of Congress what they considered an oppor- tunity, which they had not had since the new chief executive was swern in, and they were all prepared to avail themselves of it. It was jocularly remarked that Congress had adjourned to the White House. There was also an unusually large rush of the unofficial from the city and outside. They waited patiently to see the President, after the members of Congress had finished their work with him, They had no idea that a cabinet meeting was in progress, and won- dered why the officials who were in the secretary’s room had not got through and come out. The fact is that not half of the } members of Congress saw the President.

The Mickigan delegation is one that is having a great deal of trouble at this time. It is cracked in several places. The two senators are maintaining the position that they should have the controlling voice in the larger federal appointments in the state, yielding to the representatives, as in the past, control of the postmastership. There Is also some trouble between the old and new members of the delegation in the House and two caucuses have already been held in an attempt to reconcile the dif- ferences. fhe Mlinois delegation are also in a peck The embarrassment grows out of the conflict between the senators and the representatives in the matter of sev- appointments of prominence in Illinois, and it is said that there is con- siderable friction. The southern republicans, it is said, are very widely divided. The President’ has felt himself called upon, it is claimed, to utter some pretty strong language about the southern appointments and to insist that the factions reconcile their differences before bothering him with any more appli- cations. Some of the western siate delegations are struggling along in an endeavor to get tcgether, but there are many matters stiil undecidec. . -o-— NOT STRASSINGER’S DAUGHTER.
