Corbatt was billed to give an exhibition in Reno to-morrow nigit, and the authorities there announced that under the very bill which to perm fight Corbett would have to pay cense for this exhibi- tion. Lawyers said that this was not so, and advised the athletic combination to | £Q on with how without taking out any license. This was what those of the Reno population who are aiming to make trouble wanted. The plan was to throw | the entire matter into court, and work it | urt, where it would 17th of March, the big fight. y was foreseen, and Corbett sim- red that he wouid not appear in It is doubtful now if he will show A til after the a fiasco Reno. anywhere in Nevada previous to his meet- ing with Fitzsimmons, excopt right here | in Carson, where he is safe. | Genial big Dan Stuart, the promoter of the coming fistic carnival, had been living in hopes for several aays that he would be enabled to precede the Corbett-Fitzsim- | mons contest with, among others, a battle between those two famous lightweights— “Kid” Lavizne and Joe Walcott. He re- ceived a dispatch to-day from Sam Fitz- patrick, who is handling Lavigne, that put an end to his desire. In this telegram tzpatrick said his man would positively ot meet Walcott. . This, while disappointing, makes the “Pprdspect all the brighter for o battle be- tween George Green, San Francisco's femous welter-weight, and the winner of the Ryan-Tracy match, which takes place “on the 24th inst. Stvart says Green is one -of the greatest fighters in the world and he would like to find a better man than either Ryan or Tracy for him, Kid | bett had signed an agreement wi Stuart is continuing his efforts to give Peter Maher a match during the carnival, and it is now practically settled that the Irish champion will be pitted with an un- known. Somehow or other, Sharkey does not appear to be in favor with the big Texan. Maher was asked by telegraph if he would meet Sharkey oran “unknown,’” and his reply was that he “would meet Sharkey or anybody in the world.” Tak- inglthe Irishman at;his word,Stuart to-day wired bim to prepare fora collision with the unknown. Who this unknown is is one of Stuart’s secrets, and if ever a man could keep a secret when he wanted to, he is that man. Some idea may be gained as to the amountof business the Carson hotel and saloon men expect to enjoy asthe result of thie coming of the thousands to this city to witness the battles, irom some of the preiiminary orders that have gone ott for eatables and drinkables. As most of the latter will come from: San Francisco, the wholesalers of the California metropolis wi.l have reason to b2 thankful that there is going to be a fight. The Arington Hotel to-day placed orders for $2500 worth of liquors, $1000 worth of cigars, and nearly $3000 worth of general hotsl sup- plies. The Briggs House ordered $1000 worth of drinkables and $1500 worth of groceries. The total order of the Ormsby House, which already carries a tremend- us stock, amounts to §1500. A! Livingston, the saloon man, who is accredited with having suggested to Stnart the ng off the carrying off the cr loon trade. and has ordered extra liquors and 8 TS, is put- ting in an ditional stock, ordered =at $§2000. In foct they are all at it, m antici- pation of the harves: of their lives. The city is overrun with whisky drummers, and all of them are joyous over the bonarza they have struck. Stacks of leiters continue to pour in upon Dan Stuart from all parts of the con- tinent, which the writers demand blocts of choice seats at ““any old price.” In order to dispose of these. as rapidiy as possible, he has set three of his clerks at work on a seating plan for the mammoth pavilion. This will be out by to-morrow or next day and the seats already sold will be checked off and thejtickets forwarded as rapidly as possible. Stuart has, up to date, orders for over 3000 seats, and all in the highest-priced row at that. Corbett’s handball court and ‘“‘rub- down room outat Shaws Springs were | practically completea by sundown this Both are substantial and com- modious structures of white pine. Oaly a fow finishing touches are necessary, and Corbett can make use of them to-morrow night if he <o desires.

Corbett’s ey has long since been evening. ed to Smith the balance of Fitzsim- de bet. To-day Stuart sent to Smith $10,000 as the balance of the $15,000 purse offered for the fight. He putup $§5000 at the time of the signing of the ar- ticles. The $10,000 he sent to-day was divided into five certified checks calling for $2000 each, and are drawn on the First National Bank of New York. “I would have put this money in | Smitn’s hands sooner, but I deemed it wise to wait until practically the last mo- ment in order not to get tangled up with the New York law,’” explained the Dallas sport to-night. ——— FITZSIMMONS' STATEMENT. Says He Is Xoady to Give Interviews to All Who Come. COLORADO SPRINGS, Covro., Feb. 15. —Robert Fitzsimmons arrived in town this morning and gave an exhibition of sparring and bag punching at the Colise- um to-night to a larce audience. The high altitude has not been without its effect upon the Australian’s breathing apparatus. Fitz spent the day in quiet training.

I do not know whether Corbett signed the contract or not; but I suppose that he has. But the agreement simply means that I will sign no interview or give out any signed statements other than to the New York Journal and the an Francisco Examiner. The agreement in no way prevents any one from asking me questions or irom visiting my pros- pective training quarters or taking photo- graphs. No attempt to muzzle the press was made. The boys will be free to come and go as they piease,” and the Austra- lian spoke as though he meant every word he said. *Julian made the arrangement,” con- tinued Fitz, “‘and I signed the agreement. 1f a newspaper reporter is on to his job he can find preity nearly as much news as he wants. THE CALy has always treated me well. It will get as much news as any paper.” The exhibition at the Coliseum closed at 10 o’clock and at 10:45 the party left over the RioGrande for Lezaville and Salit Lake, where Fitz will give his last two tournaments before going into heavy training. - CORBEIT NOT COPYRIGHTED.

Corbett, while en route to h training quarters in Nevada, is the recipient of as many honors as a Presidential candidate, At every little station between San Francisco and_Sacramento, as soon as the train swopped at the depot, crowds thronged around the sleeper and begged for a sight of this great heavy-weight, Corbatt was in excellent humor and grat. ified the curiosity of his admirers at every point. — His reception 'at Buisun was partica- larly flattering. The town band lined up beside his car and played “See, the Con- quering Hero Comes,” and over 200 spec- tators crowded abouta huge bonfire and cheered the S8an Franciscan. Corbett stepped to the platform and warmly thanked bis friends for their loyalty. The crowd cheered again, anvils were fired and the train pulled out.

WICHITA, Kaxs, Feb. 15.—Paddy Sbea, well known throughout the central West as on allaround sporting man, who con- ducts an academy of scientific boxing in this city, is recognized wherever known as an authority on sporting topics. His pre- diction that Corbett will win the coming | fight is notable from the fact that he has [ foretold with aimost unvarying exactness J | the results of all the great fights of recent | Win | years. In an interview to-day he said: “Accidents barred I predict that Cor- bett will win the fight inside of twenty rounds. All these stories about his hav- ing degenerated are told to induce some one torun up against him. Corbett and Fitzsimmons are without doubt the great- est fighters in the world.

There are no feather- | weights quicker than Corbett.

Corbett | will have to get in straight licks to reach Fiiz, and if he should ever be caught off his guard and Fitz getsin one of his swings it will be good-by, Mr. Corbett. Fitz is a great fighter, I concede, but I consider Corbett the best general and the fastest heavy-weightin the world, and I shall be surprised if be does not win this | fight at some round between the fifteenth | and the twentieth. Billy Braay under- | stands it in that way, and that is the rea- | on he offers to bet $1000 that Fitz will | not appear in the ring on the 17:h day of | March. My prediction is that, barring ac- | cidents, Corbett will win this fight.”” Corbett Greeted at Suirun. SUISUN, Car, Feb. 15—An ovation was given champion James J. Corbett when he passed through Suisun this even- ing on his way to Carson. When the train arrived Corbett was greeted with deafen- | ing cheers. The Suisun brass band was | present and a vonfire and a display of fireworks illumined the scene. Many of | the champion’s admirers here were intro- | duced to him by Harry Corbett, who is well known in Smsun, having been on irequent bunting trips to this station. Corbett was greatly pleased with his re- ception. —_—— Fitzcimmons® Monay AIl Posted. NEW YORK, N. Y., Feb. 15.—Al &mith, the stakeholder for the Corbett- Fitzsim- mons fight, was notified to-day by one of the National banks in this city that $5000 had been deposited at the bank and was awaiting hie identification. This is the Australian’s side bet and, with the $250 | appearance money already in Smith’s hands completes Fitzssmmens' end of the money question. Corbett’s $7500 has already been posted.

Jim Corbett put in most of his time yes- terday wishing his friends farewell and packing his trunks preparatory to his de- parture for the mountains of Nevada. Corbett left this City on the 6 p. . train for Carsom, but he may possibly remsin over at Reno. That will depena upon cir- cnmstances. Corbett received a message yesterday from Cook, his advance agent, which states that the psople of Reno, who have interesied themselvés in the pugilist's theatrical ventures, are determined that if Corbett insists uvon giving ag exhibition in Keno he must plank up a coo! thousand or the show will come toan abrapt ter- mination.

But the Irish Champion Puts Up a Very Tame Fight With “Muldoon’s Black Thunderbolt.” BUFFALO, N. Y., Feb. 15. — Peter | Maher, tne Irish champicn pugilist, de- | feated C. C. Smith, “Muldoon’s Black | Thunderbolt,” in six rounds, before the | Empire Athletic Club of this city to-night. Maher had Smith all but out in the second round, but in the succeeding rounds he was very slow and seemed to tire easily. He showed anything but championship form and made a decidedly | unfavorable impression. The house was well filled, a number of Pittsburgers having come from the Smoky City to witness the contest. In Smith’s corner were Charles Marks, George Church and Al Dean. Maher's seconds were Buck Cornelius and Peter Peter appeared to be in fine fettle, his Smith looked like an ebony Apoilo. Peter was cool and confident and the “Thunder- bolt”” displayed all his ivories in expan- sive grins. The men shook hands at 10 o'clock. The fi:ht by rounds follows: Round 1—Maber put two lignt lefts on face, smith landed his left on the chin and right on tho wind. Peter swung a hard leit on the mouth and stagzered Smith with a righton the ear. In the clinch Maher struck Smith twwice. There were loud cries of “foul,” and Smith's seconds rushed iato the ring and dragged their man 10 his cor Round 2—Meaher jibbed his lel on the face twice aud_lollowed with a hard right on the | car. Smith reached Peter's 1ace witn a good left. Peter sent his left to the wind and Smith came back with two in the same place. Maher swung his left on' the ear, knocking e colored wan flat on his face. Smith got up slowly and Peter rained blows on the Leid and wind as Smith lesned over the ropes without aitempting to defend himself. Smith clinched as the bell rang. Round 3—Maher jrdbed his left on_the face aud Smith put s lignt left on the wind, rush- ing Peter to the ropes. Smith rushed again and Peter got away. Smith jabbed his left in the stomach and Maner put his leit on the wind. Maher jabbed his left on the mouth and they clinched. The fourth and fifth rounds were tame, both men appearing to be very tired. Round 6 and last—The men were slow to get together and there were loud hisses from the audience. Peter jabbed Smith lightly on the fice with the left, and_the latter knocked Peter's head back with a left joit on the chin. Peter swung his left on the car, and Smith ‘ducked a savage right swing. Peter jabbed Lis left on the mouth, and left and Tight on tne head. The men ‘Were sparring for wind as the bell rang. Referee Doscher then declared Maher the winner. Maher weighed 178 and Smith 180 pounds. The prelimirary contests were between Laden Camnpbell of Pittsburg and Sammy Brown of this city, wko were to box ten rounds at 128 pounds. Brown was knocked out in the fourtn round. Neither man showed anv skill. ‘The next parr were Jim Plant of Pitts- burg ana Harry Gillmour of Baltimore, who were scheduied 10 go ten rounds.

Largest Flag in the World. A Bulldeg Who Kept a Memento of Burglars Who Were Foiled. The Hawaiian steamer Helene was the observed of ali observers on the Wl!,el’ front yesterday. She was loading at cific-street wharf, and the largest flag in the world floated from her aftermast. It is almost balf as long as the ship, and | when hoisted on the mast there is barely room for it to clear the taffrail. In fact it is 40 feet deep and 80 feet long, and if stretched in the meeting-room of the Merchants' Exchange would take up the When leaving Honoiulu to take com- mand of the Helene, Captain George C. Beckley was presented with an illumi-|{ nated address and a purse. The address | he was more than pleased to receive, but the money he said would go in purcha: ing the finest flag in the world for the pride of the Hawaiian mercantile marine. The flag was seen yesterday floating from the handsome steamer that takes her | name {rom the winsome daughter of W. | G. Irwin oi Honolulu. Captain George C. Beckley is the com- modore of the Wilder steamship line, and is one of the most popular men in the Hawaiian Isiands. His chief officer is Captain Fitzgerald, second officer H. A. Fris and third officer H. D. Beveredge. The chiel engineer is W. A. Johnson, | first assistant Charles Dubam and s:cond assistant Herman Kallstrom. All the officers are in uniform, and the vessel looks more like an ocean iiner than an nterisiand trader. She will take away an unusually heavy cargo, among which will be steel rails, machinery and mules for | the plantations on the island of Hawaii. | Osmer & Co., who keep a saloon and restaurari on tiae corner of Folsom and East streets, discovered the remains of a | tracedy when they opened up for business | yesterday morning. The side eutrance | had teen pried open and the marks of the | jimmy were plainly to be seen in the woodwork. On the floor, playing with the remains of a pair of pantaioons, was the bulldog that generally is kept chained behind the counter by day and is allowed 10 rove at will through the place at night. Not even a glass was disturbed and the supposition is that as soon as the intruder got fairly into the restaurant the dog jumped on him and held on until the burglar and his nether garment parted company. The owner can have the re- mains of the trousers by calling on Osmer & Co. any time before 6 r. M. to-day. Up to that hour the dog will be chained up.

At one time he was a performer in & circus, but when the compaay went to pieces he shipped as cook on an ocean-going vessel. Outside the heads he threw all the pots and pans overboard and reported that there was nothing on board to cook in. The vessel put back and O'Bradley made his escape. Since then he led a precarious life. and finally wound up by dying in the Alms- house. The American ship T. F. Oskes is now long overdue and 45 per cent reinsurance has” been paid on her.
