STANDING OF THE POLO CLUBS.
HOW TO SEE THE FIGHT AT HOME.

Undoubtedly, there are great many
men in Providence who would like To take
trip 20 far off Nevada in order to wit
ness the coming contest on next Wedncs-
day, March IL, between Corbett and FitZ-
simmons for the much disputed title of
champion of the world -
Many who can afford to take this trip,
cannot spare the time from their business,
as It would rrcuu fourteen days absence
from home. Taking all of this into con-
sideration u well known sporting man.
In Boston, in conjunction with Captain
Bill DAILY, made arrangements with
Manager William A. Brady before he
started for Nevada, to have the fight re-
ported by telegraph by special operators.
direct to Providence, where wire has
been run into Infantry Hall Every detail
OF the big fight, every blow, almost every
breath of the participants will be reported
almost simultaneously with the action.
The Western Union Telegraph Company
have agreed TO furnish the most EXPERT
operators i'm Providence To receive the
news, which will be announced by II we'll
known and favorite talker, directly
It Is received, so that the auditor can 90 to
Infantry Hall, sit down and by paying
close attention 10 the reports as they
come, can see every move that is being
made in the ring at Carson just as well as
II they were sitting in front seat at the
ring side. The seats are now on sale at
William Wings, College Place.

for in this immense plant 20 an almost
indefinite extent, SO that, beside moving
the vast number of ears of the twin
cities street railways and intcrurban sys-
tenn, there will be great force and energy
10 spare for a large number of manufac-
turing establishments. Mofe than 1000
horsepower will be- developed 10y the plant
provided for in tho contract The Thirty
first street power station in Minneapolis
will b. dismantled, but the one in st.
Paul and the one at Third avenue in
Minneapolis will be kept in order in case
of accident at the great water power
station provided for I'm the new plan.
When the plan is complete, as provided in
the contract, by next July there will be
only one larger plant Of that character i'm
the United States, perhaps in the world,
especially where the force is developed by
water power and that is the one at
Niagara Falls. In many respects the one
at St. Anthony's will be as wonderful,
important and interesting as the one at
Niagara. The plant itself will he the
finest I'm the country, and in that respect
will not be exccllcd even by Niagara, al
though there may be "A greater force of
water there at command at most times
than here. About 5000 horse power will
be sent over the lines 20 st. Paul while
about 1000 will be retained at Minneapolis
for use i'm manufactures. The entire en-
terprisc Is marvellous in conception, and
will be still more marvellous in execution.
