His short, quick, right and left jabs
for the head and stomach, were made
with marvellous rapidity, and with
great force. Again and again he rap
ped Steiner and Hickey in the hard
est kind of manner, convincing those
two gentlemen. If nobody else, that he
is no novice in the art of fighting at
close range.
The red-haired pugiIist did not seem
to be much cast down because of the
fact as alleged by Martin Julian, that
he would be greatly handicapped by
SilerS rulings when he met Corbett in
the ring. He capered about the gym
nasium, laughing and apparently in the
most excellent spirits, and on every
occasion when he jabbed Hickey or
Steiner, 1t seemed to afford him the
greatest possible delight.
In the afternoon Fitzsimmons took
another short ride on his wheel, and
wrestled with Roeber. This was all
of the exercise taken by Fitzsimmons
during the day He is near the fine
edge necessary to put him in the best
possible condition. and he and his
trainers are working very carefully to
avoid drawing his condition too fine
The probability is at present that Fitz-
simmons will fight not very far from
the middleweight limit
Notwithstanding the fact that but
five days remain before the champion
ship battle, Corbett continued today
his vigorous training. He started in
with a ten-mile run over the rough
mountain roads, accompanied by JEFF
fries and a Splinter or two, and follow
ed by a good-sized escort of mounted
newspaper men. For almost the entire
distance he kept up his swinging dog
trot, and emerged from his rub down
at the finish as fresh as a three-year-
old broncho. A few hours rest and by
no means light luncheon, put him in
shape for the hard work of the after
noon. He began it as usual, with a
half-hour of wrist exercise, and follow
ed 1t up with vicious punching of the
bag in a chilly bath shed. Five games
of handball with his brother Joe as a
partner was the next number on the
programme, and the champion more
fortunate than yesterday, was put in
excellent humor by winning three of
the five games.
He then took on Mcvey for a three
minute wrestling bout and left the
big fellow badly Winded and somewhat
bruised by the vigOr Of the exercise.
Without q moments intermiSsiOn, JEFF
fries was given three minutes of hot
sparring, and Joe Corbett followed
with a similar amount Of the same
work. Billy Woods was then taken into
the arena for practice IN the styles
of fighting which the agreement
reached at the conference between
Julian and Brady is likely to make
one of the features of the fight. Cor
bett demonstrated his ability to make
1t very interesting for his opponent in
this sort of work, and Woods punish
ment, despite his pneumatic armor, was
unusually severe. Zach of the men
was given four rounds, Corbett taking
no rest between times

the days work, expressed his entire
satisfaction in the champions ability
to best FitZsimmOns in close fighting.
The fevor Of battle has begun to pre-
vail in all sections, and in Nevada,
and particularly in Carson City. The
small boys talk INCREASINGLY of it; their
elders discuss it on the street corners
and in the soloons and the members
Of the legislature, which is still in ses-
sion. do much talking on the hitting
ability of Fitzsimmons and Corbett,
and they also use much valuable time
in discussing out at the state house,
right and left hooks, short arm jabS
and straight leads. Some 800 convicts
are confined in the penitentiary here,
and many of them being engaged in
outdoor work, have several times seen
Corbett pass the place on his daily run
and nearly every day they see Bob
FitZsimmons with his aggressively red
hair and his startlingly blue sweater,
go past on his way to and from the
city. They have caught the prevailing
spirit, and are showing themselves
sporty to the best Of their rations
of tabacco, their half-holidays and
privilege which the rules Of the insti
tuition will allow them to stake on the
result Of the battle on the 18th.
This mornings train brought only
the usual number of people, who nave
reached here every day this week, less
than dozen. No specials are expected
in before Monday night or Tuesday
morning, and the largest number will
not come before Wednesday morning.
1t is not known definitely how many
seats have been Sold but the telegraph
and the letter orders are received in
every mail, and it is blieved from pres
ent indications that 1000 people will
witness the fght-not as many as had
been anticipated by Stuart, but enough
to pay the stake money and large
part, if not all of the expenses.
Corbett's trainers decided today that
the champion should begin the taper
ing off, process tomorrow. The change
will be a relief to the big fighter and
none the less so to McVey, Jeffries and
Woods, who have been punched and
hammered to the limit of endurance.
The three big boxers who have given
Corbett the greater part Of his glove
practice have had decidedly interest
ing time stopping the blows of their
employer, and none Of them was at all
backward in expressing his satisfac-
ton at the announcement that the
days Of bumps and bruises are almost
over.

Birmingham, Sept. 10.-There is really very little to say today about the wheat market from a news standpoint. Ad- vices from other side were rather scarce, about tn. only thing of interest re- ceived being a report that it was quite certain the French import duty would be somewhat reduced. Foreign mar kets were firm, Liverpool, Paris argd Antwerp showing an advance of from s to 11a csnts per bushel. The trading here was largely on the scalping order. The bull crowd seemed to be somewhat at saa, supporting the market on the weak places and selling on hard spots. Initial trades Ware at slight advance over yesterday but after there was an advance of Is cents, half of which was lost, prices during the last hour hold ing steady The days clearances mod crate large, showing nearly S00,000 bush els wheat and flour and reports from seaboard indicated continued accept ances for export Primary receipts, however, are showing gradual in crease and the probabilities are thsTe will be a good-slzed increase In the vis- ible Monday, perhaps, as large as year ago when the increase amounted to l. 1O7,0 bushs1s. Chicago and Duluth together are expected to increase about 1,200, 600. The fact that December wheat sold today within A cents of the dollar mark, thereby almost fully recovering ths 12-cent reaction from high price last month indicates very bullish un- dertone and an advance based more largely on supply and demand as the of n been accompanied with any excitement.
