The crew OF the British steamer
Oxus, which arrived in New York
Thursday, though at sea at the time,
received by cable the news by rounds
of the Corbett- Fitzsimmons fight at
Carson, March IL. The Oxus at the
time was engaged in repairing the cable
in the Gulf OF Mexico, between Gal
weston and Tampico. Everybody on
the Oxus, from the captain down to
cabin boy, was deeply interested in the
controversy at Carson City. They
couldn't sail to land to get the news,
and they couldn't bear The suspense Of
waiting several days to learn of the
outcome, but one thing they could do
and they did it. They picked up the
cable and got the report of the fight
round by round. just as quick and in
Just as much comfort as was enjoyed
By New Workers. 10 their clubs. The
cable was picked up early in the fore
noon OF the day of the fight, and as
soon as the men entered the ring every
body on board knocked off work aud
gathered around the. operator, who
called off the report by rounds as thes
came up out of the yasty deep.
