Corbett- Fitzsimmons Fight.
There is only one Veriscope reproduc-

of for West Virginia, but the manage
ment of Wheeling Park is negotiating
with the Veriscope Company for the
exclusive right to exhibit here. and as
soon as arrangements are completed a
definite announcement will be made.
But no right has yet been granted for
this State, or any portion of 1t, and a
