The evening times., 1897-03-15

Carson, New, March 15.-The weather
| indications were rather uncertain yester-
day, but as both men have as good asscom-
| pleted their heavy outdoor work, the
prospect of a furry OF snow did not raise
any great CONSERVATION at either Shaw
| Springs or Cooks Ranch. Corbett started
In at light work In the morning and played
| some vigorous games OF handball with Jim
Nealson, the veteran San Francisco expert.
Jim was, as usual, eager for work, but his
trainers kept the big fellow under as much
restraint in that direction as possible.
Several of the new arrivals watched Cor
bett at work and were chuck full of adj
Iniration at his appearance, speed, and en-
durance. One veteran who had seen Cor
bett fight all his battles, said:
Il don't see where any man in the ring
today has the science to hit Corbett. He
is in hundred per cent better shape than
when he met Sharkey; I'm fact, he is not
the same man. That sickIy pallor which
he had when he met the sailor has all dis
appeared and has been replaced by a
healthy color, which speaks volumes for
Jim's condition. | have never seen him as
fast ON his feet as he is totiay, and his
hi5tingpowers haveimproved wonderfully"
FitZsimmons, as usual, was at work early,
and Roeber, Hickey and Stelzner were put
through II course OF athletic sprouts Of
aestheticism. In the sparring bouts Bob put
ia some good work in clinches, aud on the
breakaways his short-arm Jabs and hooks
were by no means gentle, and the trial
horses had bellows To mend before halt
was called.
Visitors to Cooks ranch were not sur
prised TO find Fitzsimmons in tie best of
condition, as the champion is generally
in consistent form, but to one or two who
know him well, the Australian appeared
just a tTifle fine. However, the cessa-
tion of heavy road work win no doubt give
him an opportunity TO fill out.
The sports are not filing into town with
as much celebrity as would he expected
or desired, and so far Dan Stuart has had
official advices OF only one excmsio train,
but at least three more are known TO be
en- route, two from the East and one from
the West
The pool rooms opened yesterday morn
ing, and the prevailing odds were 6 TO
10 on Corbett, but there was no Fitz-
simmons money in sight. Opinion seems
TO differ as to the pecuniary situation In
tie Australian camp. On one hand. it is
thought that Julian is playing FOX" and |
laying low for a longer price, while on the |
other, there are plenty who say, and with |
some degree of plausibility. that the "long |
green is scarce at Cooks ranch.

CoStliest OF Furs.

While the fashion in most furs chang
es year by year, sable invariably holds
it's own, and the possessor of rich
garment Of this material can well feel
the pride that comes from owning
something not commonly worn. The
demand for sable has never been so ex-
tensive here as in Europe, and very
few understand the difference between
the relative value Of the American and
Russian furs. At the court Of Russia
every member must have his sable furs
for state occasions and it is estimated
that this equipment must cost each
one not far from $4,000. In Germany
the maids Of honor are compelled to
have their garments trimmed with sa-
BILE tails and clippings. while in the
court dresses Of several other European
nations the sable figures in various
ways.
