SCENES AROUND TOWN.
CARSON, March 1.-THE center OF
activity this morning was the Airing.
ton hotel, where the sporting men
have been in the habit OF congregating
ever since the fight has been under
way In the vicinity of Carnon City.
Ii was wise man who rose from his
bed early and did little leg work In
in the day for the sake OF getting q
breakfast. The hotel dining room Is
not large, and 1t will not accommodate
many at one time. The first ones to
arrive were sure OF their meal, but
along toward the feg end OF the morn
lug the hungry follower OF the noble
ART OF pugilism who showed up clamor.
ing ior his breakfast came out OF the
argument with an empty stomach
and was forcej to rush for the nearest
restaurant, and the restaurants Of
Carson are not mauy, nor are they on
par with those OF larger cities. The
late arrivals We're not many In mum.
Der, however, for the large majority OF
the men who have come here to witt
ness the hgnt were up early and after
their breakfast In short order after they
appeared In the office OF the hotel.
Most Of them realized that fight
at III q. m. with two other fighla 10
follow meant no lunch ut the noon
hour and they took no chauces on
getting good meal at the opening of
the day. BY s O'CLOCK this morning
the hotel office was ctOwed to sutioca.
| ton and Tor several blocks down the
street groups OF men stood all in earn
est converaatlon and the topic with
nearly all Of them was the compare
tive merits OF the two men.
Around the hotel Of Dan Stuart the
scene was one OF lively hustle. The
big blue chart OF the ring was lying
on the counter and two men were con-
stantly engaged In selling seats and
making arrangements for caring ior
the crowd which Jaw the fight. La
| front OF the office stood Dan Stuart as
cool in the climax Of his work az he
has been In pushing that work to q
conclusion.
"rhis is my chance 10 get even,"
he said. "Atter three years OF hard
work that have been through with
all these fl shters. 1t marks the be-.
ginning OF The end with me and l
rather think that when this thing IL
over l will be out OF the fighting busi-
ness for good. am not making any
hereafter, but 1 do not think that /
will undertake any more figh,s."
Stuart expressed himself as being
somewhat disappointed at the attend
ance, which Ia smaller than he has
been expecting, but he viewed the
matter in the stolcal manner in W hich
he takes oil OF his tr ublts.
"1here are mot more than 600, 900
here, are there?" he ssld with "a emile.
"But 1t ia the best we can do and there
is no use OF making any FUSS. Carson
is u long way for lots of the boys to
come, and the hard times have made
| 1t impossible for lots OF men to spend
$500 to come here to see the fight and
get home again"

"You cDuldH't be In better shape,
Jim," was the trainers verdict when

you are fit In every way for the fight
Of your life."

and refreshed. He took turn or two
on the hotel veranda ana then had
breakfast.
Before s o'clock Brady, White, De-
Lauey and C0rbett retired to the lat.
