Carson, New, March 2.-Nobody could
Withstand the temptation to venture
out today and. with the exception of
Dan Stuart. all invalids from the visit
ing colony were about town.
Stuart yielded to a good appetite this
morning. and now regrets having
eaten so much. His physician ordered
him back TO bed and he is once more
on the exclusive list George Siler still
talks from under his vest. but his
sore throat is not very troublesome and
he is able to attend to business.
Corbett gave up the entire day to his
wife and sister, who decorated his
quarters and received the visitors. In
the evening, he limbered up little at
handball, but did not attempt any
heavy work.
Fitzsimmons changed his mind about
visiting Carson today, and shortly be-
of buggy and asked the driver to
whip up. The animal in front was a
speedy trotter, but Fitzsimmons hung
on the entire distance to the city,
which was reached in II minutes. Step
ping up to punching machine at the
end of his trip. he sent the Indicator
spinning uD to the S00-pound mark
with a straight jab. Going home. he
took matters easy and ate a hearty
dinner.
Bob complained of a soreness about
his joints, which is probably a result
of the cold which he has been nursing
ever since he arrived. The hot springs
at the state penitentiary have done
him a world of good and he expects
that before the week is over all lame
ness will have disappeared. He began
work in the afternoon with a 14-round
battle with the punching bag. going
rather carefully, as the bag in use was
the only one in repair. Within week
the Australian has wrecked half
dozen of the strongest bags manufac-
tured. and Julian has ordered double
supply in case of emergency
Il like to see Bob use up leather that
way" said Julian to group of re-
porters: lit shows that he STILL has a.
few punches left in him. Il takes a
hard blow to rip one of those bags. but
they last no time when he once gets
going.
You should see the letters we are
getting" he continued. Every crank
in the country has a sure cure for
colds. and the number of Knockout
blows which have been recommended
to us is simply amazing. The letters
are very cheering to Bob, though, as
than ever that the American public is
behind him in this fight and that a
winner is appreciated more than
talker.'
The wrestling mat was rolled out
after Fitzsimmons had finished with
the punching bag, and Roeber stripped
for action. crippled finger prevented
the wrestler from appearing at his
best. and Bob rolled him about as he
pleased When the floor was cleared
again. Hickey and Steiner were pol
ished off in short order and the Cor
apparently forgot all about
his stiff elbow. He put both his op-
ponents right and left without any
exertion and showed greater speed
than he has yet displayed. Those who
sat behind the dancehall. watching the
exercise. left the building convinced
that Fitzsimmons would give his back
ers a warm run for their money.
Over at the coliseum everything is
going shipshape. and seats are already
in place for quite a comfortable num-
Der.
Mrs. Corbett and the champion's sis
ter concluded tonight to remain over
another dav.
Mysterious" Billy Smith dropped
from the eastern train tonight and
wandered up to Dan Stuart's head
quarters He is only u pounds over
weight. but in condition. Smith was
not over pleased with the training
quarters secured for him in Carson.

small village IA miles to the south
