San Francisco, March %. Mrs. Fitz-
simmons intention to prevent her hus
band from again risking his hard
earned reputation at all hazards, has
caused Corbett and Brady to be a lit
tie shy about broaching their pet sub
ject when the lady is within hearing
takes care never to be far away. They
were within hailing distance Of the
New Zealander last night at the Bald
win Cafe, but made no overtures to
a nearer approach.
While Corbett, accompanied by Col.
Burnes, his brothers. Joe and Harry
and Brady, were at lunch, Fitzsim-
mons and his wife entered the room
and took seats at an adjoining table.
The historic ability of both principals
to the late Carson fight stood them in
good stead on this occasion. and
though each was terribly conscious of
the presence of the other he acted in
such a way as to seem blissfully ig-
norant. Bob talked to his wife in a
loud tone about the baby's health while
Jim conversed eloquently with Col.
Burns, concerning the Nevada weather
and it's effects upon the appetite.
Mrs. Fitzsimmons soon gave her hus-
band the signal and they swept by
the Corbett party, broadcloth and
silk glistening like banners Of victory
in the bright sun. A few hours after
Fitzsimmons left for Sacramento to
give an exhibition and for another
twenty-four hours Corbett's proposed
verbal challenge will have to lie dor
mant and gather fresh eloquence.
Brady explained after dinner that
he did not want to have Jim talk to
Fitzsimmons when there was a crowd
around or to have them progress in
anything like a scene. And then
again, he said, Fitzsimmons' wife Yves
with him and he wanted to have a
quiet talk with him when he was alone.

New York, March 23.-All the mani
fold resources of the Olympia were
concentrated in the Music hall last
night, when the regular spring season
was inaugurated with superb pro-
duction of Mr.. Oscar Hammerstein's
new musical burlesque, Mrs. Radley
Barton's Ball in Greater New York"
In the opinion Of competent critics the
production equals in splendor any
thing of the kind ever seen in this
city. The services Of nearly one hun
bred people were employed; there was
an especially painted scenic environ
ment and the costumes were beauti-
full, rich and costly.
The burlesque is more than a sim
pie travesty Of an important social
function. The scheme of production
has been elaborated upon and 1t now
partakes more OF the nature of trop-
ical review OF people and events,
