About 10 o'clock he went at the wrist

twenty-five minutes. He was swathed
in heavy SWEATERS, thick trousers and
wore over his shoes thick pair of high

no chances of falling victim to the pre-

cided to postpone further work until
after lunch. In the afternoon Corbett
did little boxing with Jeffries and
Woods and thumped McVey about for
few rounds, but he was not satisfied
with the days work. He declared, how
ever, that day or two of idleness would
not injure his already good condition.
The champions trainers are not at all
pleased with the prospects. With foot
or more of snow on the ground and
staedy fall during the afternoon and
evening, the chances for outdoor work
are very slim. Corbett met with slight
accident in his work this afternoon.
which for time caused his trainers
some apprehension. He was wrestling
with McVey, and, putting forth his ut

against the wall The effort was too
much for him on the slippery floor, and
Corbett slipped and fell going down in
much the sarSe fashion as a variety act

was up in a minute and continued his
work. although Charley White was for
time fearful that he had received a
sprain of the groin. Corbett kept at his
work fully half an hour after the acci-
dent and showed no evil effects.
Jim passed the afternoon for the most
part reading the papers and his
voluminous correspondence. Ordinarily
Corbett leaves the latter task to Kid
Egan, but having nothing else to do this
afternoon he managed to get a great
deal OF amusement out OF the many let
ters from admirers and cranks from all
over the country.
Charley White, who is usually in a
happy mood, was decidedly glum today.
II hope this thing WON'T last long" said
he. while Jim can get all the indoor
work he needs. had hoped the weather
would continue good, so that he could
put in a lot of hard licks on the road.
But this snow upsets my calculations
in that direction. However Jim will be
ready when the times comes, no matter
how long the bad weather lasts"
Late this afternoon the snow began
and it came down harder than on any
previous occasion. When II SHOWS at
Carson it is not exactly like snow

business and come down to earth in
one solid chunk. During the latter part
of the afternoon and early part of the
evening the snow came down al q rate
that piled it up in the Carson streets at
the rate OF about three inches an hour.
1t was not, however, the sort of snow
that makes good sleighing. but the
soggy. irresolute stuff that creates mud,
discomfort and endless trouble and in
convenience to everybody. Even IL 1t
ceases to snow tonight, it will be several
days before the roads are in anything
like a passable condition.
