mometer at daybreak stood at de-
grees below, the coolest weather known
in Carson for several years. The sun
came up bright and warm, however,
and the mercury rose to 20 above at
noon. The snow is melting rapidly
today and prospects are good for con"
tinued bright weather.
Bob FitZSimmons commenced work
today with a four-round bout with
Hickey and a half hours work with
Roeber on the wrestling mat. He fin
ished the mornings routine with bag
punching for twenty-five minutes. He
showed no fatigue from the work
After his rundown, Fitzsimmon3
summed himself for an hour, declaring
that he was in splendid condition. He
does not expect to do any road work
until the strip Of ground a mile in
length, now being cleared of snow,
is in good shape. He is also waiting
Julians return from San Francisco
with stores
Jim COrbett carried out his routine
work, putting in more than an hour at
hand ball with his brother Joe, and
then took on Woods until the latter
was exhausted. Aside from a slightly
flushed face, Jim showed no effects
He stated that he expected big JEFF
freys UP from San Francisco soon to
help out Woods, who has more than he
can attend to in standing before Cor
bett. George Green is also expected
here and will train at Corbett's camp
He has fought under the ring title Of
Young Corbett."
Secretary Wheelock said today that
negotiations are going on with two or
three good men in the East to meet
George Green. but as yet there is
nothing definite to give out Wheel
ock said: II have received letters from
all over the United States urging the
management to allow ladies to witness
the big fight. We have not, as yet
passed on the question, but presume
Stuart will call a meeting of those in
terested in a few days to decide the
matter. Personally, I see no objection
The fight will be conducted under
protection of the law, and the strictest
order will be maintained. 1 see no
reason why women may not as we'll
attend the fight as the theater or a.
football game. Numerous orders for
seats are arriving. No seats will be as
signed until the plans of the arena
are completed. The money received
for tickets will be duly credited to the
sender and the applicant be given
preference over all subsequent orders'
Ground was broken today at the race
track, and lumber is being dumped on
the site. Carpenters will be put to

Martin Julian left for San Francisco
on the Western express last evening.
He will be back Wednesday. When
asked the purpose Of his trip, he said
he was going to buy a stock of pro-
visions, and also make arrangements
for the hire Of Mechanics pavilion for
the night of March 49, ION that date"
he went on, Robert F'itzsimmons
champion pugilist of the world will
appear there before the public Of San
francisco and give an exhibition after
beating the head off Mr. Corbett"
Ernest Roeber is as confident as Ju-
liam, and Hickey is full of roseate
dreams concerning the result of the
event that is to transpire on the 18th
of March. The wrestler said yester-
day: MY wrestling with Bob is hard
earnest work throughout. When he
throws me it is on the level, not 4
gift. A few days ago at Denver. for
the first time since we have been to-
gether, FftZsimmOns scored a game.
L purposeIy gave him an opening, and.
to my surprise, despite all my efforts
to prevent him, he threw me in a fair
and square manner, and pinned me to
the floor for three minutes When you
consider that L weigh PIT pounds, and
F1tzsimmons only 1853, you can appre-
ciate the excellence of the performance.
FftzsimmOns is stronger and more
clever than he ever was before and
don't see how he can lose with Cor
bett. think the fight will be all over
inside of ten rounds. Fitzsimmons con-
cedes that Corbett is clever, but our
man is by far the hardest hitter. He
can afford to take two or three Of
Corbett's blows to land one Of his own,
and, every time he gets one in, want
to tell you that it will take thirty
pounds off him. My reason for this
