BE is q short man and had a hard
tine getting through the drifts.
Corbett put on a pair Of goggles yes
terday and took a sleigh ride. He
was the target for the small boys and
was Gnow-balled numerically. He
wore his big sweater and with his cap

the fun.
The Western Union Co. proposes to
have a lead piEe cinch on the fight.
1t is said they will run but a single
wire into the Pavilion and during the
fight they will furnish the exclusive
news by rounds to probably 100000
pool rooms, bar % and hotels in
the United States. The report OF the
fight by rounds, that is, round one
going out before round two is fought,
will be under their exclusive control
and the charge will be 500 apiece for
these bulletins. Figure it out and if
0 0,0t8 bulletins are taken it will
amount to a couple of million dollars
all paid cash % the nail in advance.
1t was rumored last evening that
the Mackay Postal line would string
a wire from Fresno over to Carson
and compete for this business, but as
the snow in the Sierra mountains is
twenty feet deep, it is lot probable
that they will try and lay a new line
at this season Of the year, and the
big plum will all go to the Western
Union. This OF curse will not pre-
vent the press correspondents from
filing reports as fast they please at
the regular office OF the company,
about half a mile from the fight,
which will be fitted up ready to
handle q million words if necessary.
The fighters must be in the ring
ready for battle by il o'clock a.. ~,
and the fight comes off in the day
time to enable the kaleidoscope people
to take pictures Of the battle. A
Frenchman who claims to be able
to photograph in colors has applied to
Stuart for permission to take the
fight and bas offered a large sum. He
claims to have a machine which does
all sorts Of unheard of things and
backs his request by offering to de-
post a fat check for the privilege Of
being on hand.
The press correspondents are
arranging to lease race horses to
cover the half mile between the fight
and the telegraph office. If this idea
is carried out, the horses at the track
and the jockies will be lie demand as
couriers on the afternoon of the 18th.
Stuart heard last evening that a
man was on his way here with a ba-
loon which be would anchor near the
pavilion with a big rope and from the
upper levels Of the air, take in the
whole fight. he will have a photo
apparatus and expects to sell his
pictures as the only views Of a prize
fight ever taken from an elevation Of
