FINE Wealth BR FOR THE FIGHT.
| CARSON, March III a. m.--The
dawn OF battle day IN Carson City
was all that could be desired by the
several tboutand people who have
Travelled many miles to this snow
bound valley to see the COTbett- FL q.
simmons fight. Late last night the
weather was bitterly cold, the SKY was
overcast with clouds and light nurries
of enOw fell several timee with every
Indication that DAY break would find
the prospeots for cold, cloudy day
ahead aud perhaps several Inches OF
snow on the ground, and in such case
there would have been great disap-
pointment in this section OF the word,
for 1t had been tflloially stated that
the battle would not occur, unltes the
sun was shining 81 that the vitnsc0pe

season OF the year inserted Itself

No news has been received In tow n
from either OF the training quarters
this early in the morning, but wi h all
the weather conditions favorable, Vt
WINS known that there was no reaion
TO change the pro ram which bad

asiir early and the crowus began to

gossip In connection with the fight,

Three special trnins which came IN
this morning, brought the last Of the
visitors. They were made up OF TWEEN.
ty.two sleepers from San Francisco,
but the last stctioa had four day
coaches, In which were lew people
from the East, those who reached
Reno last night. The large delegation
OF miners expected from Virginia City
did not come though the mines are
well represented. The arrivals this
morning were about 500. making the
total Of strangeFs In iowa between
three and four thousand. The demand
for tickets TO the fight was very good

crowded, The demand was 30 brisk
indeed, that the price OF the cheapest
seats was doubled. The last few rows
on the outer edge OF the arena had
been set aside for people willing to pay
only 3 for admission. When 1t was
discovered that these seats were selling
well, better than the $40 seats Just In
front OF them, there being little differ
epce between the two in desirabllity,
all were placed ut $40 each. The Ia.

with the sale.
Tne impression has gotten abroad
among the townspeople that when

unsolu seRts on hand (the arena will
accommodate over IL, 0o0) he VIII be
willing to Ill some ut least OF the outer
rows seats by accepting 81 or So for
them. The Indications now are that
there will be n larger number present
than Stuart has boen hoping for since
last Friday. The main street il iull OF
people waiting to see the principals
