Denies That FitZsimmOns Has Been
Drunk.
The good weather of yesterday
brought Dan Stuart out of bis hole
again to enjoy the sunshine. The
main trouble with him when he is
sick is the amount of room he occu-
pies. He is a good deal too big for a
man and not quite big enough for a
horse
His cousin is also here and bears a
family resemblance, being frequently
mistaken for Stuart on The street.
The repor. in San Francisco claim
ing that Fitz was on a big drunk in
town caused a good deal of discussion
today.
The report had no truth in it what
YER and is unjust, not only to FitZ-
simmons, but the Other correspond
ents who are here to give reliable
news and trying their best to do it.
FitZsimmons has not been under the
influence Of liquor since his arrival
here and has been training regularly.
He has beep in town daily and always
perfectly sober.
Nearly all the seats and the ring
are up a i 1t presents a most impos-
ing appearance. The diameter is 300
feet and the last seat will be lees than
$50 feet from the edge Of the ring.
The structure will be done in about a
week and will contain $50, 900 feet of
lumber. There are four entrances
which lead the visitors to the seats
which costs 800 and upwards. They
80 into the building on the ground
floor. There are also four double
stairways that go up on the outside
and lead to the SO and S. seats. Thus
there are eight entrances which will
enable the great building to be filled
or emptied very rapidly.
There will be fifty guards on duty
on the day Of the fight, two on the
ground outside Of each section and
two upstairs with one captain for
each crew upstairs and down. The
rough boards Of the ring are down,
out the final covering will aot be put
down until twenty-four hours before
the fight
A broad board walk will lead from
the race track entrance to the pavilion
and then branch into two walks lead
ing around the amphitheatre. When
tho %r-. wan Oh fo ho~l- - 49, r;n-
a week from mex Wednesday it will
have cost Stuart and Wheelock
SIS, coo.
The statement in Yesterdays San
Francisco Chronicle that Fitzsim-
mons was drunk was thus replied to
by Dan Stuart yesterday.
TO THE PRESS.
Carson City, New, March 4-The
publication of an article SEN from
this city in a certain San Francisco
newspaper, and retailed over the
country from that point to some news
papers in other parts OF the United
States yesterday, affecting to deal
with the illness Of one and the un-
bridled dissipation Of another of the
principals to the coming contest be-
tween James j. Corbett and Robert
Fitzsimmons calls for some sort of
statement from me. To begin with
the story vas built upon a foundation
Of Intentional and malicious falset
hood. There was not the slightes
fundamental fact to the yarn. 1t
was not dignifed by the most remote
scintella Of truth. Mr.. Corbett has
been in continuous good health aver
since he arrived. Mr.. Fitzsimmons
naturally of an abstemious bent, has
not touched a drop Of liquor other
than the ordinary pugilist in active
training with a slight cold now aud
then takes If there is any one thing
o gratifying than another to me, it
is the zeal, sincerity and res~oluteness
displayed by the men under contract
to me to engage in a battle for the
championship Of the world here on
the 18th Of this month. The sole an
noyance caused by the publication
lies In the fact that I should be called
upon publicly to denounce as false
and unprOvoked a story printed in a
presumably great and veracious news
paper, with nothing but the insipid
vaporings of ar irresponsible reporter
to vouch for it. Very respectfully,
DAN A. STUART.
