WHAT DAN STUART SAYS.

clans that the boxers were in good
health and physically prepared for the
contest in which they were 10 engage.
Mr. Stuart said he received a message
from Corbett saying that he would start
at once from Chicago to Kansas City
and engage in preliminary light training.
He also read a telegram from Martin
-ff,1f, No. han &c
are in perfect condition and that FitZ-

the present, light training.
Mr. Stuart said he would start within
the next three days for Nevada. and as

TWO DAYS PROGRAM.
San Francisco. Jan. 30.-William Ken
yon Wheelock, the partner Of Fight-Pro-
moter Dan Stuart. is here, fresh from
the scene of his triumph in Nevada.
Wheelock said yesterday that he was
thoroughly satisfied with all that had
transpired at Carson, and that Corbett
and Fitzsimmons would meet in the
ring in that state beyond the shadow of
a doubt. He said decisively that neither
Stuart nor himself had given the slight
est intimation as 10 what particular
place in Nevada would be selected for
the fight.
"Of course, all the towns up that way
are bringing pressure 10 bear, but
whole lot of things will need to be con-
sidered in locating the arena. Every one
can rest assured that no decision will be
reached In that direction until Mr..
Stuart puts in an appearance. l expect
he will be along inside Of a week. and
then the matter Of ring site viii be
taken up"
WheeIock said that in all probability
there would be one other contest in add
ton TO the Corbett-Fitzsimmon
match.
1--WE will very likely have a two-days'
program" he said Mr.. Stuart is anx-
ious 20 get some one 10 go against Peter
Maher, and if Goddard were in this
country now, he would undoubtedly be
given the chance. We thought of
Sharkey, and it might be that an effor;
will be made 10 induce the sailor 70 meet
Maher We heard that Sharkey Is not
locking for fight. but as II has been
frequently said that he bars nobody, /
hardly see how he can refuse a chance
OF this kind. Anyhow. IL ne does not
think well of i, We Will find some one
else.
The contest between Corbett and |
Ftzsimmons will take place by day
light" said Wheelock. THE intention s. /
TO have it between noon and 3 O'Clock in I
the afternoon. George Siler OF Chicago |
will be the referee, the principals having |
selected him al the time the match wss 1
arranged.
