I guess it was horse and | horse. We will let it go at that, any- | how.” Then he went on to describe the battle. | But little time was lost in measuring dis- | tances and getting acquainted with each | other’s tactics, for both were anxious. The air was raw and cold, and before they were in the ring ten seconds they were at it. It was a fast and furious battle. Fitz- simmons opened the battle with a mur- | derous swing, which, had it landed, would | have settled the battle; but Jim wason | the alert, ducked and came back at Fitz- | simmons with a sharp rap on the nose. A clinch followed, but both escaped from | it without damage. Corbett’s cleverness | and ability to dance out of harm’s way | saved him several times during that round, so dreamed Fitzsimmons, from | zoing down under the piledriver blows that were sent after him. He was like a | shadow so far as locating him was con- | cerned, but Fitzsimmons was persevering | and confident that he would land event- { ually. So the battle waged during four rounds CARSON, Nev., March 7. — Fitzsim- mons has had another dream, and usual has dreamed of victory. Bob con- | fesses to a weakness for beholding visions during the slumbers that precede all of his big battles, and, while he protests that he 18 not superstitious, he holds that none of his nightmares have ever given him | the wrong tip, and will tell you inasort | | acterized his previous appearance on the and the pace was plainly telling on Cor- bett. He did not respond to the call of time with that nimbleness that had char- scratch—and here the dream grows inier- esting. Fitzsimmons saw his opportunity and dashed in to finish matters. He beat | down the champion’s guard, and the| be all day with him, for I know I can hit him and I'll cut him to ribbons as sure as Iam talking to you now.” Corbett gave a remarkable exlibition of endurance this afternoon, and those who witnessed the performance went away fully convinced that if the approaching contest develops into a prolongzed affair the Australian will in no wise be at a dis- advantage. He bezan his work by wrest- ling with his wrist machine. Now, this apparatus is reputed to be capable of tir- ing a verson more than any of the muscie- making devices used by athletes, and any one who has ever ‘‘fooled” with ane of them in a gymnasium knows this fact. Corbett put in twenty-five minutes of steady and vigorous work on the machine, and then, as he was gloving his bands for & bout with the bunching-bsg, gave me a littie dissertation on the effects of wrist practice. ‘When I get through with that ma- chine my arms and hands are apparently worked out, so fatigued are they,” he said. “Anybody else who tackles itthe way I do will be affected in the same way, if not worse. But the funny part of it is that as soon as I begin to thump the bag, which is the next work on the programme, that feeling of fatigue begins to disappear, and the longer 1 punch the suronger I feel until finaily I am in the very finestof fettle for the handball games and boxing bouts that follow the punching-bag exer- cise. *“The wrist machine is a wonderful help to a man in training, for it gives great strengih to the forearms and hands, and they are the most valuable weapons be can have in a_contest, and must bo care- fully prepared so as to lessen the danger of their breaking.” % Jim was now ready for the bag, and at his request I keot time for him. He began with his left hand, varying between hooks, straight-grms, swings and jabs, and asked that he be notified when he had worked five minutes, I purposely neglected to sing out to him when the five minutes were up, and the result was that he con- tinued to pump away with the lefs hand, the ball beating a veritable tattoo as it rattied against the ceiling with lightning- hke rapidity. “What's the time?’ finally asked Cor- bett, but without missing a blow at the bounding bal1. “Eighteen minutes.” Outside of the Cornishman’s dream there was but little in the shape of inter- esting events to be gleaned at Cook’s ranch to-day,and those who went thither and paid the usual admission fee saw only the usual routine. Fitzsimmons has got right down to work of the hardest kind, and it seems to agree with him im- mensely. He revels in it. His cold has nearly disappeared, and aside from the black eye Hickey decorated his counte- nance with the other day he looks mag- nificent. He has gone ‘louney’ over snipe shooting, and is out every morning with his gun and dog. He is a fair shot, t00, and usually brings home quite a mess. News came from Empire to-day to the effect that George Green, who is training for the welter-weight battle with ‘‘Mys- terious” Billy Smith, had a narrow es- cape from being drowned. There is a dammed river in front of Green’s training quarters, and he and his chum, Bob Me- Arthur, frequently venture out upon itin a little skiff for a row. While out for one of their spins to-day McArthur espied a slain duck floating in the water, and dropping one of his oars, reached for it. Green playfully attempted to get it first, and in the scramble the skiff was capsized and bo(h found them- selves floundering in the water. Bob is an expert swimmer and had little difficulty in getting out of danger, but Green found his heavy training ciothes a fearful handicap and could make no prog- ressat all. He finally got hold of the boat, however, and elung to it until assist- ance arrived. He bas suffered no ill effects so far from the experience went on with his training as usual. He isin splen- did shape just now and is certain that he will whip Smith, Dal Hawkins, who is in training with Green for the fight with Martin Flaherty, is also 1n fine fix. J. G. MANSFIELD. SRR ShS e “NEVADA’S DISGRACE.” Cleveland Preacher Assails the Sage- brush Population. = CLEVELAND, Oumio, March 7.—Rev. Levi Gilbert of the First Methodist Church preached a sensational sermon to-nizht on “Nevada's Shame and Disgrace.” He lampooned the State for legalizing prize- fighting, saying amonag other things:} Its action was taken afier the splendid de- THE OLD RESIDENT TELLS OF THE Jff, g ®% 0, W 50 BEAUTLFUL NEVADA CLIMATE Scenes and Incidents Before the Big Fight at Carson | of half-doubtful way that there might be something in these nocturnal prophecies after all. Fitzsimmons’ new dream goes on rec- ord as having visited him last night. This is not the first time the St. Patrick day’s battle has been pictured to him in bis sleep since the signing of the articles. | There was one ahead of this one, which called on him several weeks ago, while he was stillin the East. On that particalar occasion Bob saw Corbett curl up and go to sleep at the end of the seventh round. In describing the vision at the time, he said he saw aring pitched in the open sir, with something like 20,000 people gathered around. He was the first of the two world's cham- pionship aspirants to enter the ring, but was compelled to wait quite a while, the delay being caused by Corbett's refusal to leave his dressing- room. The crowd roared with anger, and threatened the Californian with all sorts of violence if he versisted in remaining in seclusion, and finally Corbett came out; the gloves were produced, and the fight began. As Fitzsimmons says he saw itin the dream the fortunes of both varied during the first six rounds, but the seventh saw Corbett distressed. and cornering the Olympic Club idol he eent a stiff left into his abdominal cavity. This blow caused Corbeit’s head to come forward, and Fitzsimmons in his vision shot in a magnificent upper-cut and put his man to sleep—such an upper-cut, he explained, s wound up Sailor Sharkey in Ban Francisco. It took the Cornishman seven rounds to close the career of Gentleman Jim in that Eastern dream, but Bob must be smoking a better brand of the poppy extract of late, for in last night’s picture of the mill he turned the trick in the fifth round. The mammoth arena in which the ap- | proaching battle is 10 be fought is close to | the road leading to Fitzsimmons’ training quarters, and in consequence he sees it during his tramps into town almost daily. This will account for the perfect picture of the vast inclosure that he saw last night while he snored. Agsin was there a great and surging crowd in attendance, and it was a noisy assemblage at that. Fitzsimmons in tell- ing of the dream this afternoon said that he emerged from his dressing-room en- veloped in his time-honored bath robe, and followed by his seconds armed with buckets, bottles and fans he met with an ovation that fairly shook the place and brougnt echo after echo rolling back from the surrounding snowclad mountains. Then when Corbett appeared there was another roar, another fac-simile earth- quake and a duplication of the echoes. “Totell the truth,” said Fitzsimmons, Bob saw his chance, | | crowd, which had ail slong been noisy, now simply roared, for the end was in sight. “Good boy, Bob!” was what the Cor- nishman heard in his dream. And, as the | noise was dying away, a female voice echoed shrilly with another “Good bov, Bob!” Fitzsimmons knew that voice, for it was Mrs. Fitzsimmons’, and it had the effect of redoubling his energies. The battle was soon over. Corbett, | unable to beat off the attacks, dropped his arms. A hush had come over the | 20,000, but it was broken by a resounding | smash as Fitzsimmons’ right connected with the champion’s jaw, and— | “I'm the champion of the world!” lled Fitzsimmons. “What in thunder is the matter with you, now?” said Trainer Dan Hickey, jumpinz out of his warm bed and discov- ering Filzsimmons standing shivering in the middle of the bedroom and waving his long arms like a marionette. “Hang it all,” said Fitzsimmons, as he rubbed his eyes and looked about to see where he was, *‘I thought the fight was over. but it was oniy another of those con- founded dreams.” | Everyoody laughed uproariously when Bob finished the story of his dream, and the Cornishman joined in the chorus. “Never mind, though,” he said, when he could make himseif heard. *That will | be the story of the battie just as sure as I am standing here.” | I wasout to Corvett’s training quarters late this afternoon and found that the champion had heard about Fitzsimmons’ dream. ““Well,” said Jim, with one of those funny winksof his, “I am satistied to let him have all the enjoyment he can get out oi those nigntmares, for they will furnish about all the pleasure he will get out of this litile engagement. That is about as near as ne will ever get to whip- ping me—in his dreams,"” 1t was then time for Corbett to begin his afternoon training and as we walked over to the handball court together he said : “I'll tetl you, my boy, there is only one story to this fight, or else I am the worst guesserin the world. 1 will repeat now what I have often said before and that is that I consider myself to be in the best physical condition I ever attained throughont my athletic career. If condi- tion is to determine this coming battle I have won already. But that is not the point I am getting at—not the story I re- ierred to. To my mind it is simply a question as to whether or not Fitzsim- | mons can Jand on my jaw that lucky punch which has made him celebrafed. That's all there is to this fight. Idon’t velieve he can land it, but still nobody can tell—he might. If he does not it will FITZ GOES HUNTING “Humph, [ was commencing to think that was rather a long five minutes,’” he said, emphasizing each whack at toe ball Well, that's all right,” he continued, “we will make it twenty minutes,” and he did. Then the right hand was brought into play for ten minntesand this was followed by ‘a rattling finish with _both hands— thirty-five minutes in all. 1 took partic- ular pains to notice the condition of the big fellow at the ciose of this violent ex- ercise so that the readers of the CaLL might be given an idea as to what a man who 1 fit for achampionship battie can do. He was wet and steaming with piration, vut his breathing did not in- dicate in the slightest degree that he had been undergoing any unusual exertion. This was made all the more evident by the fact that no soonar had he left the bag to put on his blankets than he began a con- versation with Trainer Charley White, the theme of which was a com?laint regard- ing the condition of the ball, and his flow of words was in no way ianterrupted by shortness of breath. Then boxing bouts were next in order and he was at his four spurring partners, alternating with them soas to give them a rest, for three-quarters of an hour. And still he had not tired. The Californiau is certainly in shape, so far as his powers of endurance are concerned. Billy Woods, the man who wears the pneumatic face and the padded corset when he boxes with Corbett, has been en- joying a two days’ vacation. When Cor- bett gets at this armored gladiator he slogs unmercifully, and despite tha protection afforded by the pneumatic dévices Billy has been repeatedly floored and put to sleep. Woods got tired oi his job and threatened to go out on a strike. Corbett evidently realized that Billy’s position was no sinecure, and comgrcmised by giving his trainer two days off. A bloomin’ truck horse couldn’t stand the pounding that I get from that big chap,” said Billy to-day. “I'm sore in every part of my body and it was getting to' be torture. Honestiy, [ believe if it wasn’t for the mask I wear I would bave had niy bloomin’ head knocked off. Wait till Fitz cets a few of these cracks and then he will sympathize with me,” word with a | termination of even Texas to exclude prize- fighting by special act of the Legistature. This State, this deserted mining camp, revives the brutality by an cxhibition whica must make the Indians and its Chinamen wonder at Christianity. Corbett is called a gentleman; et he acted like an infuriated animal in his nst fight and his wife was divorced on grounds affectiug his morality. Ho is as dissipated as is John L. Sullivan, who clubs his wife. Such exhibitions promote criminality by feeding the bestial in man. They debauch the public ideal. Such men show pluck, yes; but no beiter than the pulldog or tiger. ‘These is 10 spontaneous courage; they let themseives De battered for $5000. Prize-fighting is often excused a8 no worse than football. 'But bru- tality can b and olten 1s excluded from the latter. Brutality is an essential part of prize- fighting and caiinot be eliminated.

Strange gs it might seem the sporting fraternity observed the Sabbath yesterday to the great disgust of Managers Cook and Clark, who are here representing High ©Chief Dan Stuart in the sale of tickets for the great fistic event to be decided on March 17 in Carson. The sale was so zood on Saturday, when it was begun, that it was expected to be better yester- day, when people had more leisure to call around and do business, but it was not. The disposal of §6000° worth of seating capacity that startea the ball rolling was made up principally of block sales. Charles Asher took $1500 worth for him- self and friends’ who had commissioned him to act for them. Another $1000 worth was taken by Harry Corbett and his part- ner, Burns, who are to run a special Pall- man excursion to and from the fight. The remainder of the §6000 was put up by a f:w special parties and a few individuals. Yesterday, however, there were no block | sales. The tickets that passed over M Gunst’s counter were mostly single and at the $20 rate. The public does not seem to take kindly to |’he box seatsat §40 a throw. Yester- day’s sales amounted to only $890. SHOOTIG F0f CASH WD MEDALS The California Club Hold Forth at Schuetzen Park. D. W. McLaughlin Won the Big Prize at the Shell Mound Range. G. S Schulz snd A.

An Open - to- All Shoot for Cash Prizes on the Man-Target. The picnic season of 1897 was opened yesterday at Sheil Mound Park by a con- cert and pienic. Captain L. Siebe, the proprietor, has had the entire premises renovated and put in perfect order. The early trains took across the bay many hundred pleasure-seekers, and by 3 o’clock the number was increased to 5000 and the opening was a success. From 10 o’clock 1o noon a concert was given, and then after the dinner hour dancing was kept tp until evening. An- other party found pleasure in the bowling- ailey, where they bowled up to 7 o’clock for cash prizes amounting to $100, offered by Captain Siebe. These prizes ranged from $20 to $1. There was but one attraction on ths grounds for the riflemen and that was the rifle range, which was crowded from early in the morning until as Iate as the targets could be seen, for there was a grand pub- lic prize-shoot there, held under the auspices of the Norddeutscher Schuetzen Club, All of the shooting was on the man target, four shots, 80 points the pos- sible. The twenty-five prizes agaregated $225 and ranged from $30 to $1, besides special prizes for best first and last shots and most red flags for the 20-center line. For a time it was supposed that George 8. Schulz was going to be high man with 77 and A. H. Pape second best with 76. Late in the day D. W. McLaughlin got in his work with his new Pope barrel and made 78 out of a possiole 80. He won the first prize of §30, Schulz took the second, $25, and Pape third, $20. The leading prize winners and their scores were as follows: D. W. McLaughlin 78, G. 8. Schulz 77, A. H. NEW 7TO-DAY. SPRING TIME STYLES! This week we open up our new Spring Goods. You want them.

SIR BACHE CUNARD HERE, Owner of a Great Steamship Line and Husband of a California Girl. Bir Bache Cunard of London, one of the owners of the celebrated Cunard line of steamships plying on the Atlantic, ar- rivea here yesterday evening from the East and took apartments at the Palace Hotel. Less than two years ago he married Miss Maud Bourke, the beautiful wagd o Horace Carpentier of ‘Oakland, who had just before that been enzaged to marry since Poniatowski. His wife, however, bas not accompanied him on the present trip, which is one, Sir Bache explains, that is merely for pleasure and without any business significance. Heis a tall man of athletic build and with black hair and mustache. He is 39 years of age. Noteven a valet is travel- ing with kim, although in London he is reputed to keep & magnificent establish- ment and to live in great style. On the journey across the continent he had for traveling companions Joe Redding of this City just returning from New York, and Mr. and Mrs. James, Mr. Reed and Mrs. James Elveston Jr. of Philadel- phia, all of whom went to the Palace. Later in the evening Sir Bache and the other members of the. party were the guests of Mr. Redding at a ainner given by him at the Bohemian Club, from which the party returned to the hotel shortly after midnight. ———— INGLESIDE COURSING.
