ALL LIFE IN CARSON
Strangers Are Beginning to Pour Into
the Pugilistic Camp.
NOT AS MANY AS EXPECTED
A Wrangle Over Picture Receipts
The Zig Fight WIN Be Pulled
OFF as Soon as Possible After
II O'Clock Tomorrow.

Is up against another snag, and il is
one that IL causing him much worry
He has not yet reached n decision on
the matter. and he may not make up
his mind until tomorrow morning.
The snag is i'm the shape of Martin
Julian, who has demanded one-third
OF the receipts that may come 10 Stuart
for exhibiting the photographs of the
fight. At the time OF the signing of
articles Of agreement Julian asked for
share of the money that would ac-
Crue from this source. and he was told
by Stuart that II any bids Were made
for the right to take pictures of the
fight. Julian would be given chance
To be in on the returns. No bids have
been made. however, as Stuart has
been intending To take the photographs
with machine which belongs to him
for the most part,
This afternoon Julian drove into Stu
arts headquarters and told the latter
that he wanted the receipts from the
exhibition of photographs to be divided
into three equal parts, one OF which Is
to go To stuart one to FitzsimmOns
and Julian and the remaining third To
Corbett. Julian said that II his demand
was not granted he would refuse to
fight before the camera. The pictures
are considered by stuart his one chance
of getting back some of the money he
has advanced for lighters In the last
three years and he Is much worried
over the demand made by Julian.
Both of the great pugilists did to-
day tho last work they viii do before
the fight. with the exception of little
road work tomorrow for the purpose
of keeping their wind In good oondi-
tion. Both of them are In the finest
kind Of shape. and as Charley White,
the trainer Of Corhett, expressed II to-
day: III the thing We're entirely a mat
ter of condition. the men would fight
until dark and there would be no de-
cision at ALL
When Corbett arose this morning he
took a little light work In his room
with the dumb bells and then went to
breakfast. After sitting around the
house for n short time he went AT the
wrist machine. hich he worked for "A
short time. and then punched the bag.
but did very little with II. He then
went through several light rounds of
sparring and took some short runs and
walks on the road. During the fore
noon he played three games Of hand
ball with Nealon. the expert from the
Pacific coast. winning them all. In the
afternoon he took short walk and
rested for the balance of the day.
Neither Corbett nor any Of his train
ers will give any idea OF what the
champion Will weigh when he enters
the ring, but II il certain that he Will
weigh over l75 pounds. as he Is about
that weight now. The chances are that
he will tip the scales very close to the
1S0 mark Charley White said this
afternoon that he Is more than pleased
with the result OF his work with Cor
bett. and that IL will he impossible for
the champion ever To get into inner
shape than he IL AT the present time.
HE is in shape To fight for his life
right now" said White. and he Will
I've a little better, II anything. when he
goes into the ring"
Fitzsimmons wound up his work or
preparation to-day and announced that
from now on ne would do very little.
He took short run In the morning,
punched the bag little and boxed with
his trainers. This was all done In the
morning and in the afternoon he did
nothing Fitz. Notwithstanding his
declaration to-day that he would do no
more, Is likely To- do some more to-
morrow. He Is apt to take sudden no.
tions and act accordingly. He. for the
larger part. trains himself. and his
trainers do what he predicts. and Fitz
does not allow them To tell him what
is best for him to do. The STORIES Of the
weight of Fitzsimmons at the ringside
have been very conflicting. but the
probabilities are now that he viii weigh
rot far from 100 pounds. and according
TO the assertions of the men In his
camp he will he rather over than under
that figure He fought Maher the last
time at ljs. and when he put out Dan
Crecdon he weighed l5iia.
Fitz and Corbett narrowly missed
meeting on the road this afternoon
For several days Fitzsimmons has been
in the habit of taking a ride with his
wife in the afternoon and has been
driving through the town. and Tor a
short distance cut toward Shaws
Springs. About half mile north ot the
town there is fork In the road. and
this afternoon about 3 o'clock as Fitz,
with his wife, arrived at the fork Of
the road within few minutes, certain
