after tbs storm and the air balmv.
At the training quarters there ia re-
newed activity and both men improv-
ed the opportunity presented yester-
terday to do some road work.
Corbett took his run over to Empire
and while there called on Hawkins
and Green. Jeffries, his boxing par
tner, took the trip with him. When
Corbett lands In Empire the whole
population turns out to welcome him
with the full force of the Justice of
the Peace and the three hundred other
Inhabitants.
Fitzsimmons took a run into town
and then a spin toward Genoa. When
ever the fighters go they are followed
by a string of reporters in hacks. car
rlsges and some astride Of cayuses of
various grades. When the fighters
take a sprint the horses are taxed to
their utmost to follow aud have to be
urged with Whip and spur. As a re-
suit the livery horses are nearly all on
he verge of cOllapse, and the stable
men are wondering where they will
get new stock to replenisb THEN
stables. A horse after it has been
used a week hy a scoop" reporter, and
they are all that kind, isn't worth
much more than his hide and talIow.
Both Benton aud Ravcraft have sent
for fresh stock SO that next week thew
can give the newspaper fraternity
some fast service for the wind I'D.
LII Corbett and Fitzsimmons takes a
few more long distance road exercises.
they will kill half the livery horses in
the county.
Yesterday Fitzsimmons received an
offer from a Chicago Kelley Cure es-
Enlistment, Offering to cure him of
his drinking habit for nothing, and
pay all his expenses to Chicago and
return. When FItz read the letter
he said that it only showed the effect
OF the sensational reports being spread
over the country. He did not V n

AS the time draws near for the fight
the odds are shortening. Yesterday
some strangers in the city We're Offer
Ing even money on FitzsimmOns and
they seemed to have any amount of it
about them.
All the unfavorahle reports about
the condition Of the men are things Of
the past. Everyone who visits the
training quarters now is sati SIZED that
no two men yer put themselves in
superb condition for a CHAMPION
ship battle. If any reports have gone
out rejecting on their condition, they
nave been put in circulation by
who thought it would influence
betting and the parties who were
handling the principles were not ad-
verse to a little "possum play" with
the other camp. Men who zee Cor |
belts marvellous cleverness leave him |
with the firm conviction that he is a
safe 2 to l bet. but after seeing Fitz- !
simmons they cannot see how Fjtz
can possibly lose.
Ihe matter seems TO have simmered |
TO the condition of the men and
las really became a contest of skill !
IND knowledge OF conditioningon the
%rainers. The %traioer who knows his
best from this Cd will place
lis man in the ring in a position to
WIN for all things being carefully
up no two men eveI faced.
'ach other who were so evenly matched
they are both ready for the ring if
allied on tomorrow and the question
low IS can each man be held in trim
rom this on to be at his best when
he lfh arrives. A razor can be
happened to its best edge with a
number Of strokes but q
more will spoil it. Will there
e a mlscue in the training quarters
etween o and next Wednesday?
he man who makes it will loose the
Sht for his principal.
Yesterday afternoon an APPEAL re-
orter called Oh Mrs. Fitzsimmons
