THE LAST DAY.
The Big Fight Is the Talk of the
Town Today.

l the Dig ElSnC ls tne idih Va en'
Town Today.
Tomorrow is the day set for the
Dig fight between Corbett and Fitz
immons. This promises to be the
biggest fight in the history Of
Jugilism. Neither man has yet
,een whipped, and both have de.
Gated some mighty good men.
Fitzsimmons will cross the state
line today. Governor Clarke has
lssued orders to arrest him as soon
IS he enters Arkansas. Corbett lie
under arrest, and the Arkansas
governor says he will not let him
60 until he abandons the idea OF
en- ering the ring. While Governor
Cl lrke wants to prevent the fight,
th majority of the people are in
IA yor OF it, and they will therefore
very likely find some means to
pu it OF. Both Corbett and Fitz-
simmons are anxious of meeting
each other, and they say they will
fight as soon as they NEE t, II 1T Is
in the street.
The time set for the men to enter
the ring is IL a. m. of October 81.
It is hardly likely that the fight
will last over twenty rounds, and
in this case the result will be
learned in time for tomorrow's
issue of the LIGHT.
Corbett will enter the ring at
about 1873 pounds and Fitzsimmons
at about 15S pounds.
The only subject discussed in
local sporting circles today is the
big fight, and several bets were
made this morning. Corbett is the
favorite. Hardly anyone will bet
on Fitzsimmons unless odds are
offered, and some even demand
odds of 3 to /. Several bets were
made last night that the fight
would take place at Hot Springs to-
morrow; also, that the fight will
take place publicly.
Even the gentlemen who voted
for the emergency clause are inter-
ested, and it is said that one Of
them is betting on the fight. How
ever, one of them was one of the
first to call on Fitzsimmons on the
middleweight's arrival in San An
tonic yesterday.

cites in extenso that much advantage
would accrue to the Great Northern and
its stockholders If close union OF the
kind contemplated were entered into be-
tween the two roads, mainly through the
aquisftion of a Zine into Manitoba and
connection with Portland Or, a connec-
tion which otherwise would cost in the
neighborhood of $1,000, 900. In reply, Attor-

The elimination or defeat of this
gigantic trust will be watched with the

from the consummation of the deal, but
on general principles it does not seem
