U NOTES.
Trying to Make Carson and Reno
Bid Against Each Other.

house came mp from the West this
morning in the interest Of W. A.
Brady of New York 20 arrange for q
pugilistic carnival to take place dur
ing Fair week Mr.. EiIinghouse
went with Sheriff McInnis this after
noon to look at the old prison walls
with a view of utilizing them as an
arena in which &c hold the carniv.l.
He found them adaoted to the pur-
pose, and a seating capacity can
easily be arranged for 20, 900 people.
He says il he succeeds in making
satisfactory arrangements Mr.. Brady
will pull off n finished fight between
Maher and Sbarkey, for which Mr..
Brady has offered a purse OF $4,000,
and tetween Creedon AMI X d McNoy.
He will also match Tommy Ryan
against the winner of rne Green-Wal-
colt fight. n at takes in San Francisco
August q.
AL Gumphill OF England and
George Dixon are amoug The possible
attractions.
Dan Sullivan and Jimmy Barry
are also on Mr.. Brady's card for the
week of sport. Kid Lavigne and
some tood crackajack 10 his class
will undoubtedly be among the attrac-
tons.
Last, but by mears least, another
fight between Robert FijZsimmOns
- CL. 49, o~-~s
bilities. At all events Mr.. Brady, who
hopes to get up another go between
the worlds champion and ex-cham-
pion to set lie the dispute as to whether
FitzsimmoDs struck a foul blow on
that memorable 18th of March.
Mr.. Brady has already offered big
inducements to Fitzsimmons and Jim
to come together again. They are
considered Mr.. Brady's proposition.
Corbett is understood to be only too
anxious 70 try the rnd-hpaded cham
pion again. and FttZ is ''thiuking.'
Every fight will be to a finish and
most attractive weeks pugilistic car
nivai ever ;ut on in this or ANY other
State. He will make Reno bid against
Carson. and says the successful one
will have to make arrangements for
entertaining 10000 people for one
week,
Reno is very much excited over the
proposition and Mr., ELlinghouse will
nr0ho h u Ep Nr mara n n dow or tu-n
than he does today. Mr. Ellinghouse
goes to Carson in the morning to pay
his respects to Governor Sadler.
AS near as could be understood from
talking with Mr., Ellinghouse, Carson
is very much elatrd at the prospect of
a weeks fistic sport taking place in
that city. but it by no means certain
that Carson will be selected. Mr.
Ellinghouse had a talk with General
Powning in San Francisco and the
two are working together with the
view OF pulling off the fight in Reno
during the State Fair
E~LLINGHOUsR ARRIVES.
Manager El%linghouse, Pacific
Coast agent for William Brady, ar
rived here yesterday and went down
to the ace track with Al Living,t n
He was much pleased with the arena
and especially the race track, which
be saw at a glance was vastly super
ior to the Reno track.
) In an interview with the APPEAL he
said:
Mr.. Brady is figuring to pull off
the biggest athletic carnival of mod
ern times. There will be horse racin g
and glove contests and the purses will
aggregate about S35, 900 all together.
1t will last a week and bring at least
10000 people to Nevada. He expects
to have Maher and Sharkey, Mccoy
and Creedon, Tommy Ryan against
the winner of the Green-Wolcott fight,
Kid Lavigne and Jack Everhardt and
lastly. for the closing attraction, AL
Greenfield, the English champion
weller weight, and George Dixon.
He is also endeavoring to match
> Corbett and Fitzsimmons, and he
feels partly certain Of success. He ia
Offering them some big inducements
and I feel quite confident that they
will come together and if they sign
: for the match it will probably be in
the Carson arena, as Corbett is apx,
ious to have a chance to retrieve 10
8 the anne place he lost his laurels. /
cannot cay yet whether the carnival
8 will take place in Carson or Reno. II
will depend on the rates the V. & T.
offers. Reno has made some very
handsome inducements, but l cannot
say which Mr., Brady will select, II
Fitz and Corbett meet it will probably
be in Carson.
