New York, Feb 15.-The World says:
Despite the distance and the diff
Guilty and the cost of getting to Car
son, it now looks as if the biggest
crowd that ever gathered to see a
prize fight will assemble at Nevada's
capital The World has received a
careful estimate from the largest
cities in the United States as to the
number that will leave each city They
show that 1896 persons will probably
go to the fight This does not include
the detached groups that will go from
smaller cities, nor the crowd tnat VIII
pour into Carson from the small towns
of Nevada and from the mining camps
of the adjoining states.
This crowd represents an expenditure
of many thousands of dollars. For eX-
ample, the 200 from New York City
will spend at the lowest possible es-
innate $275 each, or a total of $4,000.
In addition to this. the 211 who will
go from Baltimore, Boston. Buffalo,
Philadelphia, Newark and Washington,
who will be under the same expense
as the. New Workers., will spend sos

will be spent on this fight can be
formed by putting the crowd at 10000.
which is a low estimate, and making
the average expenditure 800, which is
very low. At these figures 100000 will
be expended.
The estimated crowd from each of
the large cities is:

land, so; Dallas, so; Columbus. 35;

IN THE SOUTH.
Fitzsimmons Is a Very Strong Fa-
yorite There

New York. Feb IA special to the
Herald from Atlanta. Ga, says:
Through this section Fitzsimmons is
a stronger favorite than he was some
time ago for his fight with Corbett. 1t
is true that there is but little FitZ-
simmons money in sight at even. but
there is plenty with anything like a
fair bet is suggested. The odds here
are regulated by the condition of Fitz-
simmons hand. If it We're known that
he had entirely recovered from the eff
fects of the pounding he gave Sharkey
there would be more ready money.
Some of the bets already made are
$500 to $1,000 that Fitzsimmons whips
Corbett in Is rounds; $3.50 to $500 that
Fitzsimmons wins the fight; $500 to
LOCO that Fitzsimmons win win in ten
rounds, and $3.50 to $1,000 that Fitzsim-
mons will win in five rounds.

AN ENGLISH WREATH.
Bimetallists Order Flowers For General
Walkers Funeral.

London, Jan. 8.-The Bimetallic league
has cabled to one Of its members, Mr..
Forbes, who is now in Boston, request
ing him to send a wreath and to attend
the funeral Of General Francis A.
Walker.
An editorial in The Times on the
death Of General Walker says: His
death will be regretted in Great Britain
almost as much as in America. He was
one Of the fairest and most reasonable
advocates of bimetallism.
After eulogizing the deceased econo-
siderable length, The Times continues
With all respect ii is improbable that
had he lived he could have done much
to further the avowed object of Senator
Wolcott's visit.
Senator Wolcott will be, welcomed
here. For several reasons Mr.. NICK in
ley could not have chosen a more ac-
ceptable envoy. But public opinion in
England is more hostile than before to
bimetallism. Nothing can be hoped
from the visit except as a political move
and a salve TO the silverites. The fail
ure of his mission certain. No pub
lie man, whatever his theoretical views.
would think the present an opportune
moment to move the question, and this
opinion will subsist at all events as long
as bimetallism appears to be dropped or
revived according to the exigencies OF
American domestic politics.

negro. who had approached on hearing
