falling to keep a signed agreement
whereby Vendig and Stuart were to
snare the expenses, profits or losses of
bringing Corbett and Fitzsimmons to-
gether for fight in a prize ring. Ven
dig claims that the agreement was
signed in June, 1895, and that Stuart
had violated the contract
Reviewing the case, Vendig said that
Stuart promised that the counsel fees
would be $1,000 and the rent Of the
arena $1,000. He says he told Stuart
to go ahead, but after reaching Texas
Stuart wrote him saying that the cost
would be very much more. In reply
to this Vendig wrote Stuart to go
ahead and draw on him whenever he
needed money 1t is now a matter of
history that the bout was prohibited
in Texas. owing to the action of the
legislature, and after a fruitless at
tempt to bring it off in Arkansas,
Stuart presented an itemized bill to
Vendig for expenses amounting to
$2O,522.4 and an additional bill of
81, 3OO
When Stuart and Vendig parted at
Little Rock, Ark, in the autumn Of
1895, Vendig says that Stuart prom
ised to follow Fitzsimmons to Aus
tralia, and that he told Stuart to go
ahead and that he would be with him
in anything that he should do. A
month later Vendig received a tele-
gram from Stuart from Houston, Tex.
saying that he had offered 500, 900 as a.
purse for Corbett and Fitzsimmons to
fight anywhere. This proposition, Ven
dig says, he notified Stuart that he
was willing to abide by. Stuart came
on to New York early in December
with articles signed by Fitzsimmons
to fight Corbett. When they were pre-
sented to Corbett he refused to sign
them but said that he would fight
the winner Of the Fitzsimmons- Maher
battle.
Maher signed the articles for $4,000
purse, and after Stuart had gotten
Fitzsimmons signature he wired Ven
dig that he had to give Fitzsimmons
81 900 for doing so. The arrangements
were all perfected for the bout at Ell
Paso, but when it was found impossi-
BILE to bring the fight off there, Ven
dig says Stuart and he agreed to bring
it off in Langley. Stuart said that they

CARSON, New, Feb. 19.-The sun
came out today but the weather was
cold. Work on Corbett's training quar-
ters at Shaw's Springs. is progressing
rapidly and he will probably go there
tomorrow. Today Corbett put in some
time at the opera house boxing and
wrestling. He said he felt no ill-effects
so far as a result of exercising in the
rarif1ed atmosphere at this elevation.
Work has not yet been completed on
the amphitheater. but there will be
plenty of time before March II, as the
eulnce Is to be merely a temporary one
ana large force Of men can rush it
UP IN a few days. 1t was stated today
That there will be 1900 seats in the
building and that the fight can be seen
frcm any one of them. Now that Cor
hett is here and has been sized up
more or less favorably, the arrival Of
his rival Bob Fitzsimmons, is anxious
~ awaited. The New Zealander will
probably not tarry long in Carson, as
his establishment at Cooks ranch will
1 be already for him by the time he ar
I1ves here.
So far Corbett seems to be the favor

come here month ahead of time. and

doubtedly have plenty of admirers in
his train.
Gov. Sadler and a number of other
state officials watched Corbett at his
work In the opera house this after

on the executive. and he was not

changing that they might get little
rest Jim would run and prance about
that he might not get a moment of
doing nothing in which to get wind.
Il seems that Corbett Is acclimated so
far as he or his trainers can see A
lot of newspaper men arrived here to-
day, and the telegraph Office here is
nearly swamped tonight as the storm
has prevented the bringing in Of the
new wires.
Julian was down to Cooks ranch
again today to put the finishing
touches on the place Fitzsimmons is
to occupy, and reports everything there
in good shape and already for Bob,
who is expected to arrive tomorrow.
Corbett was shown an Associated
Press dispatch from New York in
which PEARSON" Davies and Al Smith
were quoted as being of the opinion
that Corbett was wrong in framing
any special conditions as to the in
depreciation of rules under which the
men were to fight, such as hitting with
one arm free, fighting each other loose,
etc He called George Siler, the
referee, off to one side, away from the
gaping and craning crowd, and denied
that he was attempting any innovation
in the fighting game.

they both agreed to bring off the fight
SO as to show the public that they
meant business, and that they would
easily recoup their losses by bringing
Corbett and Fitzsimmons together
later on
One hundred and ten people paid to
see the fight at Langtry and when
Stuart and Vendig compared notes
they found that they had lost $4,000
on the speculation. This showed a to-
tai loss under the articles of agree
ment Of nearly $4,000, half Of which
Vendfg paid. Stuart, with Vendigs
consent, travelled all over Mexico to
secure battle grounds for the Corbett-
F4tzsimmons contest After the prin-
c1pals had signed articles for the COM
ing fight Stuart went ahead to make
arrangements.
Vendig claims that Stuart failed to
correspond with him, and later on the

secretary, called on Vendig for funds

the latter was hunting, for a place to
pull off the fight, Vendig claims that
he received letters from him of his

Stuart produced papers which showed
that it would take $4,000 to secure the
bringing off of the, contest. Vendig
says he told Stuart when appraised
Of this enormous expense that he could
not stand for more than rs per cent Of
it, and that Stuart said he could not
afford more than that's himself. From
that time Vendig asserts that Stuart
made several engagements to meet him
but broke them all. -.
A few days ago Yendig received a
telegram from Stuart, dated Carson
City, which said that Stuart was will

on the event, but nothing more Ven
dig then felt that he was being fro

lawyers. Mr.. Hummel declined to dis
cuss the matter this afternoon, fur
ther than to say that he was perfectly
satisfied that Vendig's interests would
be successfully protected.

Money Backing the New ZeIander
Goes Begging in New York

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-Previous to
the Hot Springs affair Corbett was a
to 1 favorite over Fitzsimmons, and
Corbett cash went begging at those
odds. For the present engagement
there has been some change of front
by the betting fraternity. Joe" Ven
dig, who has previously taken the Cor
bett end of the argument now con-
cedes that Fitzsimmons is a decided
factor in the game. Speaking on the
subject, Vendig says:
'The odds hav eshifted in favor of
F4tZsimmons. For some time past the
figures have ruled at 10 to Z, but they
have now jumped to 10 to 81a. 1 know
a man who stands ready to wager S.
500 to $4,000 that FitZsimmons will
win, and he finds difficulty in securing
takers. 1 believe he has made one bet
of $3.50 against $1,000, but the bulk of
his money still lies idle.
LAS for myself, I will lay to and
permit any one to choose his man.
The cause of the change in the betting
I ascribe entirely to the meeting of
Corbett and Fitzsimmons with Sharkey

having made a distinct impression on
