s1n CfiS Looking over the great, pic
turesque audience last night at the New
Nationa. TheaUer, which was fun OF
color, animation and artificial breezes,
DHe could not help thin king that the
social world had been watching with
eagerneEs Tor last nights chance to 70
to a prize fight
The great fight. which set all the world
Reog and which kept it talking long
after tie end OF the battle, S now on, il
must be remembered, every night From
/ POO to 500 Washingtonans are talk
ing this morning about the splendid re-
production there OF tile fourteen rounds,
and especially of the intensely graphic
finisl, wherein CorbcUt went down and
lost the battle.
Tire great audience CT last evening was
remarkable for two principal things. First,
TIE very large percentage OF ladies in the
asSemMage, anc, second the sympathy il
had for all the fine and dramatic points
II the program, asst can fairly hc called.
Tie number Of ladies who assisted aC
these shadows of the ring showed very
plainly how many of that sex would 20
10 a prize fight If II We're considered Just
the thing.
There can be no doubt at all, however,
tLat Dan II. Stuart veriscope presenta-
tion OF the fight is just the thing. 1t gave
20 the delighted crowd everything about
the fight except what was said and /: ie
sound Cf the heroic blows That, il sey-
eral respects, made the show something
entirely agreeable to people VINO scream
Al p knOCkCown blow or faint IL the sight

Under Mr.. Stuart's management the
Eeriscupe Company has made great prog
ress IN presenting long-distance pictures
free OF the Quiver which is so famAia ?
in most idnetoscopic art productions. There
were involved in the series of scenes last
night about If6 600 individual pictures.
Stuart, who is represented here hy Mr..
Warren Da viS, a clever gentleman, who has
the ant and its possibilities al his fingers
Gnd tongues ends, lad so perfected the
process that oil March It last at Carson
City ne could use a film equivalent tc a
Continuous exposure of 600 feet. Up
70 THAI time a 20Ofoot continuous ex
pOsJre was about tie ma aNiusum. BY the
perfected arrangement the pictures show
whatever occurred from the second that
time was called 10 the going into the arena
Of the contestants, the round the retiring
C. corners, the treatment, etc. I'LL they
stepped out again for tie fight Such
unique and marvellous performance is now
being given by Stuart from Hawaii TO san
Francisco east around the world.
A great many people in the audience,
or rather among the spectators, were
puzzled al the flicker OF the features at
times This is ineyitables although Mt
70
absolutely Quiescent presentIneut may
be possible. The audience possibly did
hot know that, when the pictures are
produced on small scale, the inequalities
Of the taking and reproduction are a
very limited guam tity. But when. as
last night, with things life size prac-
ucally, tie slight Inequalities are visible
Oh the greater scale. There was not IN
this, however, a consideration to mar
tie enjoyment of the exhibition
There is no need for the audience to
read up or otherwise recall the story Of
the fight. II is told In the pictures and
again by the prOmpter, who explains from
thc wings the features Of the great fight,
tells you the notable people in the shad-
oWgraph audience, the names OF the sports
in the foreground, the newspaper men and,
IN fact, everything one could desire 10
know. In fact, an exhibition so complete
IL detail is seldom seen anywhere, TO say
nothing about its novelty.
The art Of the vcriscope, it need not
be said, rs similar IN essential 10 the kineto-
scope, the cinematographe and kindred dis
cOveries. The pictures last night We're as
big as the stage,
As 1t was a new thing, and as the
fight il still an interesting subject, the
opening scene was awaited with great
interest The first picture showed the
great Is 000-packed arena, and the gen
tlcuen at So apiece with the standing
roUm Ingalls was pointed out, MIS-. Bob
FizsiHmcns and John L. Sullivan. The
Eaine OF thisex-chnmpion was greeted with
applause. Cor.,ett and Fitzsimmons were
walking up and down, C0rbett making much
use OF his eternal smile. They Looked like
Cordelier monks. Then Dr.. Lee came on the
ground 70 examine the gloves, for which
he charged 500, then Jack McFey Nul
doom, The referee, Billy Madden, Billy White.
Martin Julian anl all the others in turn.
Corliett did his little dance to test the
Tosin on the floor.
Then Corbett and Fitzsimmons faced
the camera which brought them face to
face with The audience. Corbett was
easily the favorite, even in the tragic
ending of the famous fourteenth round
Corhett was cheered when he stripped
fo- the fray There was also q Fitz-
simmons contingent which cheered wheu
Fitzsinm0ns refused TO shake hands.
When the fight began the crowd in the
New Rational TheaUer was a marked
CONTRAST with the crowd in the Carson
City amphitheater. In the latter place
they We're silent. Ia Washington they
whoopcd il Up Tor either favoute as the
fight progressed. But all the same it
was q very orderly audience.
The continual clinching and apparent
waste e time il the nrst round moved
hunters of people to shout at the star
actors, Break away, therei'' This amt
no clrcusl' ''Good. Bit him. etc, just
as happens in a free and easy round the
rCnes. The action il the pictures was 50
natural that the people who had anything
70 say said IL TO the ghostly actors with
TIE sa re zeSJ IS Ii they We're a Carson City.
The audience was visIbly worked up
Oyer the hot numbers of the sixth round,
iD whict Corbeut did his best aud most ag-
RressiYe fighting. IL the fifth the an
nounoement 10y Billy Delaney that Corbett
had drawn first blood was vociferouly
cheeTed. Thisyras Smallmatter. however.
20 tine JOY Of the Corhett people when In
the sixth their favorite knocked the kan
garoo TO his knees.
The other rounds as intimated, were
all graphically portra yed and explained
