should cert .inly have been entitled to a
decision on foul"
"And l would have given 1t to you, -
rejsined Siler.
Now" continued the referee, "sup-
posing prepare dissertation on the
Queens berry rules as they stand, in
forming both Corbett aud yourself just
what you are permitted to do in the way
of ln-fghting. After you have studied
it careful y you will each be able to
state your preference when you step in
side of the ring. If you cannot agree
as to what should constitute fair
break, will you then allow me to in
struct you and promise to fight otly
according to instructions?"
Certainly" replied Fitzsimmons.
That's fair. II CorbeH is so wonder
fully clever at short range l can not see
why he objects to in fig hting. Anything
suits me, but don't intend to tip of
my style just now and give him three
weeks to work up Defense"
Siler promised to draw up the lette,
as soon as possible, and when he doe,
the public will get line on how The
great championship battle will b,
fought.
Fitzsimmons then thumped the bag
for few minutes and spared Roeber
Steiner and Hickey alternate rounds
of three minutes each. Between round
he amused himself wrestling with hi
great Dane, Yarum. The COrnishmal
worked out beautifully. HIS exercise:
was not as speedy as Corbett's, but tn
work did not trouble him in the least
and he breathed as regular as an infan
at the end.
The Australians muscles were photo
graphed by an artist, who took simila

"Fitz-immons shows up better thai
Jim above the belt" was the photo
grapher's verdict. His muscles stan
out more prominently. They are bull
ON different lines from Coroett's, but t
one who is not judge, they appear t
be firmer and stronger, though pei
haps less fexible.'

Billy Delaney and Jim Jsffries were
at Corbetts cottage. Joe Corbett and
Woods were given their usual drubbing
by the champion before and after noon
and the punching bag was kept busy for
cOnsidera BILE time.
"Big Jack" McVey's cold still keeps
him abed and now that Jeffreys and De-
laney are here ne will be given chance
to rest up. Delaney Is on the exclusive
list, so far as giving out his plans are
concerned. He is delighted at Cor belts
appearance, aud believes that he will
have an easy task in putting the cham
pion On the weather edge.
John L. Sullivan tells the World he
considers Corbett and Fitzsimmons
pretty evenly matched.
"Both are great fighters" he says,
81 can't Judge between them even
enough to satisfy myself"
He added: "This talk about those
chaps inventing new blows and all
that is bosh. They were all invented
long before Morrissey's day."
The odds in betting is different
throughout the country. In San Fran
cisco the odds are to 10 on Corbett,
who is far the favorite. In Chicago
Corbett is the favorite, but the odds
are to 10 in his favor. In Boston
there is plenty of Fitzsimmons money
with odds to 10, Fitz is favorite in
New Orleans, but his admirers want
odds. In New York the sameIconditions
prevail. With the opinions that are
now expressed on the two fighters
throughout the country Fitzsimmons

simmons has strong wheeling of the
nose, while several others of the par
ties are slightly under the weather.
! Is is now thought that the arena
where the fight is to occur will be COM
pleted before the 18th of March and
space can then be allotted to parties.
It seems now that there will not be
more than two round trip tickets from
Ell Paso to Carson. AT first everyb body
families and visit the rest of the winter,
but that idea has been given out. Two
people from Ell PasO are certain to 60
If the trains run.
The Carson City people think they
can accommodate all the people that
go there, and they will probably try
at the rate of from $40 to 800 per day.
THE WHEEL.
The wheel business is fat as far as
racing goes just now. Reports show
that the riders are all at sea over Sun
day racing and just now are kept jump
ing sideways to keep out of the fight.
Most of the cycling papers of the coun-
try are edited by mem bers of the L. A.
"
staying with the league, and they are
doing everything in their power to dis
aude the western and southern move
ment to secede. However, the matter
is being quietly worked and it may
develop to such an extent that the coup
will come at any time and if the ball is
started rolling there is no telling where
it will stop.
While racing matters are quiet the
dealers are up to their necks in bust
ness, and some of the houses in Ell Paso
cannot supply the demand for wheels
Only yesterday one house in Ell PasC
received several wheels by express and
before noon they were all taken from
the store, and the same dealer still has
demand for wheels that he cannot re.
ceive fast enough to deliver on time
Another peculiar thing about the
wheel business is that prices have got
away down. and wheels that were sold
two years ago for 800 are now selling
for $50, and experts who are unbiased
pronounce the wheel a much better
one than it was two years ago, and il
certaioly is a much prettier one. Many
people still hold to the high priced
wheel, because they have preferences
in makes, but dealers say they sell four
cycle. Another thing about this years
wheel is the color and artistic finish in
enamelipg. Most of the wheels are
black with artistic stripping, but still
many manufacturers hold to the fashy
colors that prevailed last year and en-
amel the wheels in green, marvon or
white, some even epameling the frames
one color and the rims of their wheels
another. This is just simply matter
of taste to suit the purchaser. as there
is no copyright on colors and buyer
can get apy color he wants.
The frame of wheels this year are
modelled on the '96 plan, but several
new and useful inventions have been
added to the cranks and crank hangers
which has always been the weak poin,
in all wheels. Many thought they had
reached perfection in this line two
years ago, but many new and good in.
ventions have been added that brings
this years wheels high up on the plane
of perfection, but still the improvement,
goes on.

Consumption is disease caused by
impurity of the blood, aud the first
thing to be done in Its treatment is to
make the blood pure, rich and whole
some. That is half the battle. The
other half Is the impregnation of the
blood with cleansing, heal ng, invigo-
rating medicines. DIR. PIerce's Golden
Medical Discovery does both. 1t first
puts the whole digestive system into
order, rids 1t of ali impurities, and from
the vantage ground so gained, reaches
out to every fiber of the body and re-
stores all to perfect vigor. 1t cures
many diseases, simply because many
diseases spring from u Set of common
causes The same disorder may lead
to different symptoms in different peo-
pie. What might be only a little in
digestion In one person, may com bine
with a slight cold in another and result,
in consImp tlon. A treatment tn at
tones up the whole system is always
| the safest. A medicine that is good
| for the general health is pretty sure to
| cure ordinary diseases.

Siler and Fitz Confer.

Referee George S,ler visited Fitz-
simmons the other day and discussed
the Australians construction Of the
Queensberry rules. When informed
that Corbett expressed a preference
for a clean breakawsy without hitting
in clinches, Fltzsimmons pondered a
moment and said:
Let Corbett go ahead and practice
all kinds of breaks as 1 am doing.
don't say that want to hit with free
hand during clinches nor do I want it
understood that 1 consider it advsn-
tageous to me that Furnishing in break
always should be allowed.
Il am willing to agree to anything
that's fair, nut don't propose to show
my hand just now. In my previous
battles have always had the worst of
it in this particular. When Maher
and 7 met in Ell PasO we agreed to
break away fair What was the re-
suit?
THE first time we parted he fouled
me. You addressing Siler) warned
him of his promise. but minute later
he knocked the wind out of me with a
punch in the stomach while we were
clinched. Before l had time to protest
my opportunity came and put him out.

As the time draws near for the fight
the opinion is becoming more con-
solidated that the men are equally di-
vided though they fight on somewhat
different lines. Toe general opinion is
that F'itzsjmmons is little the hardest
hitter, but that Corbett is the quicker
of the two, but that it is a toss up as to
VI no is the best on in fighting. Re-
ports say they are both in fine condi-
ton, and each will ng for the fray, and
that they are both training for the
fight of their lives and taking all sorts
of advantages in trying to find out the
vulnerable points OF each other.
1t is plain to be seen by looking over

AUCTION SALES OF WOOL.
They wan HcEin on the English Plan at tho

They wan HcEin on the English Plan Mt the
Wool EXCHANGE In August.
Tho Wool Exchange announced yesterday q
series Of auction sales on the floor Of tho Ex-
change, the FIRST Of which will take place on
Aug. 10. Other sales will follow about two
weeks apart.
The sales will be OF wools consigned to tho
warehouses allied with the Exchange. The woods
are Of various grades In domestic and foreign
unwashed. washed, secured and pulled. The
catalogues are now being prepared by Will
merdlng, Morris & Mitchell, the official auc-
tioneers, and at an early date an announcement
in detail will DO made of the woods to be sold.
Tho floor Of the Exchange hns been declared
open for private trading, and lots of wool con-
signed for private 8 10 will DC bullctined daily.
The auction sales arc to be oh the plan of the
London wool auctions. which have been in
operation for about nifty years, except that in
stead OF various brokers conducting them in
turn. as In London. an official auctioneer will
have charge. His presen,e, however, II 10 said,
will not infringe on the brokers right. The pur.
CHI sing broker will be allowed a commission OF
/ per cent. The Exchange has also adopted q
uniform classification OF woods which. lis pro-
moters think, will he eventually adopted by
Boston and Philadelphia. These now have diff
ferent clnssiications md In consequence the New
York banks have refused 70 make 10 ms on wool
in warehouses. By the New York classification
the element OF shrinkaGe is elm mated and a
safe basis for ad vances is thus formed. Secretary
Lightbourn thinks the new ordero business will
be an improvement Tor all concerned save tho
commission men.
