The OIympicS have awakened to the
fact that their pugilistic carnival is OF
greater magnitude than they imagined.
They thought they would have every
thing in order in a month; but they
have got through with great diific uIty.
To put their arena in condition for
the fight cost more and took a Longer
time than they expected. The roof and
the galleries had TO be rebuilt; and this
rough work was not completed until
Wednesday. The carpenters are still
engaged in the arena, arranging the
decorations within, and twill be close
Craze to get everything in first-clasS or
der by tomorrow. The electric clock
which was to ring out the seconds, to
call the pugilists TO their rounds, and
announce when one OF them was knocked
ont. could not be completed in time and
the club will have TO depend on the old
style electric gong, which has frequent
" given rise to confusion in the past.
TWO NEWS BUREAUS.

ever. will be fully carried out. The
club has -, 900 tickets yet to dispose OF,

DAYS, two new bureaus have been es-
tablished, where all the information the
Climb possesses about the pugilists, their
locatirn, condition, standing, etc, Is
furnished. The newspaper men have
established a third news bureau OF their
own in the rOtunda OF St. Charles Hotel,
where they congregate in the afternoon
and talk prize ring and nothing else
