CARSON, CAL, Feb. 2.-Nobody could
withstand the temptation to venture out
to-day. and, with the exception OF Dan
Stuart, all invalids from the visiting COL
ony were about town. Stuart yielded to
good appetite this morning and now re-
grets having eaten so much breakfast.
His physician ordered him back to bed
and he is once more on the exclusive list.
George Siler still talks from under his
vest, but his sore throat is not very
troublesome and he is able to attend to
business.
Corbett gave up the entire day to his
wife aud sister, who decorated his quarters
and received the visitors. In the evening
he lin bered up little at handball but did
not attempt any heavy work.
Fitzsimmons changed bis mind about
visiting Carson to-day and shortly before
noon he closed in on the tailboard OF a
bug gy and asked the driver to whip up.
The animal in front was speedy trotter.
but FitZsimmons hung on the entire dis
tance to the city, which was reached in
twelve minutes. Stepping up to punch
ing machine at the end of his trip he sent
the indicator spinning to the 800 pound
mark with straight lett jab. On going
home he took matters easy and eat a
hearty dinner.
Bob complained of a soreness about his
joints which is probably result OF the
cold which he has been nursing ever since
he arrived. The hot springs at the State
penitentiary have done him a world OF
good, and he expects that before the week
is over all lameness will have disappeared.
He began work in the afternoon with the
fourteen-round battle with the punching
bag, going rather carefully, as the bag in
use was the only one in repair. Within q
week the Australian has wrecked half a
dozen OF the strongest balls manufactured,
and Julian has ordered a double supply in
case of emergency.
II like to see Bob useup leather that
way" said Julian to group Of reporters
''It shows that he still has a few punche:

one of those bags. but they last no time
when he once gets going"
You should see the letters we are get

country has sure cure for colds, and the
number of knockout blows which have
been recommended TO us is simply amaz-

though, as they convince him more thor

The wrestling mat was rolled out after
Fitzsimmons had finished with the
punChing-bag, and Roeber stripped fol
action. A crippled finger prevented the
wrestler from appearing at his best, and
Bob rolled him about as he pleased
When the floor was cleared again Hickey
and Steiner were polished off in short
order, and the Cornishman evidently for
got all about his stiff elbow. He cut both
his opponents right and left without any
exertion, and showed greater speed than
he has yet displayed. Those who sar
about the dance hall watching the exer.
else left the building convinced that Fiz-
simmons would give his hackers warm
run for their money.
Over at the Coliseum everything is going
shipshape and seats are already in place
for quite comfortable number.
Martin Flaherty, the feather weight,
who is to meet Dal Hawkins, will be in
