make up his mind after he got here.
The pugilistic impressario gives as a
reason for the selection of Carson i'm
preference TO Reno that the Carson
people had worked hard for the passage
OF the prize fight bill, while Reno clti-
zens We're opposed to Il. Stuart thinks

them will be Sharkey and Maher. II
these men can come tn an agreement
and will fight for reasonable purse.
