CARSON CITY, New, Feb. 2S.-Work
was continued as usual on Dan Stuarts
big amphitheater today. In fact. very
few residents seemed inclined to OBJ
serve the Sabbath. 1t was sort Of holi-
day in Carson. more people were seen
on the streets than usual, and many
stores, all the saloons and gaming houses
were open for business as on other days
Of the week.
Bob Fitzsimmons did no work at all
today. He spent good part Of the morn
ing writing letters to friends in Stuarts $
headquarters and then drove to the race
track to get look at the superstructure
Of the arena in which he hopes to defeat
Jim Corbett. Accompanied by Julian.
Fitzsimmons drove back to quarters for
dinner. but they returned to town early
In the afternoon. and remained until
sundown.
Julian announced that his man took no
exercise on account of the funeral OF
Mrs. Julian in New York city
There was such big crowd at Cor
belts place that the services Of three
barkeepers were required to satisfy the
demands for liquid refreshments. Dur
ing the morning show. the hand ball
court. or at least the part which is usually
set apart for sightseers. was uncomfor-
tably crowded. and the champion de-
cided to station one of his men at the
door with instructions not to allow more
than twenty persons In the court at one
time.
A hammer thrower from the Pacific
coast, who has been eager for several
days to put on the gloves with Corbett,
was accommodated. His first lesson was
decidedly interesting to the spectators,
but the athlete In question will. In all
probability stick to his own particular
branch Of athletics In the future.
Dan Stuart gave out the following
statement today: while much has been
said for and against the admission of
ladies to the amphitehater.I have studied
the matter In all its phases and have
been in consultation with my attorneys
and many eminent men on the subject.
After mature and careful consideration
have decided to admit ladies under
proper escort. To that end / have set
aside section frop which the ladies can
view the contest with all privacy and
comfort possible. Special care will be
taken to protect them. The arena will
be policed sufficiently strong to guaran-
tee absolute immunity from molestation
to everyone who attends. Those intend
ing to witness the contests can rest
assured that this will be accomplished
with as much comfort and security as
10 accorded patrons of play houses. Rigid
efforts will be made to exclude anything
bordering on rowdyism. In carrying out
these efforts / will have the full support
of the state. counts and municipal au-
thorities. I am operating under the laws
of the state of Nevada. I have been
offered and have availed myself of every
protection accorded under these laws.
The contests will be brought off in an
orderly and decorous manner. l have
every reason in the world to believe that
these contests will be creditable to the
calling now under an embargo of mis-
and hpocrisy In Amer
