There is quiet after the storm. When
the train from Langtry arrived at the
depot this morning there was q large
crowd to meet 1t and when Fitzsim-
mons appeared on the platform he was
loudly cheered He was quickly driven
up town; as soon as the bank opened
he cashed the checks he won yesterday
In the ring. At noon he issued a card
In reply to Corbetts challenge In which
he told Corbett that he must either
whip Maher of ChoynslS before he
would go In the ring with him. His
idea now Is that he will pay Corbett
back with the same treatment he has
received from Corhett
The newspaper correspondents are
thinning out and a banquet has been
rendered the visiting newspaper men
by the citizens tonight. There was u
difference In the reception rendered
Fitzsimmons and the treatment MINER
received. The latter walked up town
with his trainers and took breakfast
and then disappeared. A large crowd
gathered around the restaurant while
they We're eating but there was no
cheer or kind word for the defeated
pugllist Maher was asked about the
fight and said that he was confident
he had the fight won when he received
the blow on the chin and when he quit
thinking. On the train last night
Fitzsimmons was iollying with every
one, both friend and enemy and was
up bright ana early and was In the best
possible humor. Fltzsimmons will leave
for New York as soon as possible, and

no special program laid out. but thinks
that his fortune Is made. and from this

sion prevails among sporting men
that Fits knock out blow is inylncible
and men that were formerly strong
Corbett men are now OF the opinion
that Fitz Is the man that can handle
him. FitZ says that II he ever gets In
the ring with Corbett he will take
greater chances with him than he did
with Maher He does not think that
one OF Corbett's blows can knock him
out. Maher now has no plans further
than that he will return to Pitts
velopments The blow that knock
ed him out was half arm
hook with the right. The two were
cllnched and Fitg pushed Maher
to the middle OF the ring After a
break away Makers right flew out for
Fita's chin; Fitz guarded with his left.
threw Maher's guard up. and as soon as
Maher's Jaw was unguarded his right
flew out with lightning speed and hit
the vital spot and Maher went down In
a heap, The blow was admired by all
present because II was so quick and
