CARSON n PLACE.
Dan Stuart Arrives and Names
the Ground.

off the train. He was accompanied by
Mr., Wheelock, his agent, and Al Liv-
ingston. Billy Woods and Joe Cyan,
Corbett's private secretary we're also
along and J. R. Rochom, special cor
respondent Of tn. San Francisco
Chronicle.
Stuart had come direct from San
Francisco aud looked a trife tired, as
he had been up until 4 o'clock in the
morning. 1t had been "a merry party
along the read and the press CORES
pondents say that they all had a head
ache. Stuart had painted the car with
champagne and ia fact exhausted the
supply.
He went from the train to the Ar
lington where rooms had teen en-
gagged. and after registering he called
the press reporters together and said:
The fight will be in Carson. You
can wire it to he press"
He then headed for his and
went to bed.
There was a race for the telegraph
office and the news was soon on the
wire, and it sped from mouth to mouth
causing a broad grin Of delight to
wreath the face of Carson,
Coming up on the train Stuart said
that there was talk of a go between
Maher and Sharkey, but he did not
seem to have much of an opinion Of
either men as a drawing card. His
idea was, however. thai a battle be-
tween Levegne and some mar he
might be able to find would be a great
event. Levegne weighs 1877 in the
ring and be regards him as the great
est fighter Of his weight in the world
He is trying to locate some man lea
the same weight who was fit to go
against him. AS yet he knew of no
n who could meet the great pace the
lightweight could set when called on.
The exact location OF the pavilion
morrow. 1t will be large enough to
hold 2S, 0O people and Stuart expects
to fill it. 1t will be nearly square in
form. The Carson & Tahoe Fiume
Company must have had the tip some
time ago or felt pretty certain, as the
yard has been running full handed GA
lumber and dimension timber.
The place Of location will probably
be the race track, as it is near the
track which takes lumber from the
yard and close to where the Pullman's.
would side track.
The north halt OF the track is an
ideal place for such a building where
the ground is as level as a billiard
table for twelve or fifteen acres.
Yesterday the town was invaded by
reporters, artists and kodac sharps,
who were 'shooting' at every conceiv-
able place they could imagine a big
building might be put up.
The plans are on the way and Will
be in Carson this week if they are not
all ready here.
Yesterday the location of training
quarters was still in ebeyance, Cor
belts private secretary insisted on
having the Hot Springs management
put mp the hand-ball court and
Charlie Slingerland was about town
with a subscription paper in the after
noon raising the amount.
He succeeded very easily in secur-
ing it and COrbett will train there and
the court will go up at once.
AS soon as this was known there
was q rush of reporters and kodac
people to the spot and the livery men
began to experience the Immediate
effects of the 7. r, law. They now
keep horses hitched up to buggies
ready to race off anywhere at q
moments notice at the beck and call
of newspaper correspondents who are
after scoops. 1t was known last even
ing that Fred Dangberg had offered
Stuart the old baseball grounds near
the box factory for nothing if he
would build there. Circus exhibits,
baseball games and foot ball matches
have hallOwed the spot to sportsmen,
but as it was only $50 feet each way it
was regarded as rather small and
nothing about Carson seems quite big
enough but the race track. There is
talk Of putting up a Tattersall Hotel
aud making 1t a sporting ~headquart-
ers but any attempt on the part OF the
promoters of the scheme to purchase
a lot on Main street suitable for such
a building is met by a demand for
money enough to pave the ground with
gold. This wretched policy will kill
all the intentions Of the promoters if
it is kept up.
Carson could afford to give these lots
