The contractors at work on the arena
have made an addition to their force
and at the conclusion of today's labor
nearly half of the superstructure was
| completed. The field, which only a few
days ago was covered with snow, has
been transformed into a carpenter shop
of remarkable size It is confidently
expected that the great arena, seating
1900 persons, will be completed within
a week.
Dan Stuart's clerks have been busy
today opening kilograms from all
parts of the country. All sorts of in
formation concerning the seats and the
cost is asked by the senders. 1t is
stated by one of Stuart's men that or
ders up to this afternoon for seats
amounted to considerably more than
10000. Stuart is not yet sufficiently re-
covered to leave his apartments, and it
Is likely his physicians will insist upon
his remaining indoors at least a week.
his clerks, however, are keeping him
well in touch with everything that is
going on.
Jim Corbett went through his reg
ular morning and afternoon perform
ances, but acting upon the advice of
his trainers, Delaney and White, he
abbreviated both periods of work. He
said, however, that he was only giving
the Delaney White suggestion a fair
chance and If he is not pleased with
the change after a few days it was
his intention to do just as much work
as he pleased.
At Fitzsirnmoos' quarters there were
no startling developments. The cold.
from the effects of which Fitzsimmons
has been suffering for several days,
has almost entirely disappeared, and
he was in excellent spirits today over
the prospects of outdoor work in the
near future
During the morning Fiizsimmons de-
cided to run into town for his mail.

ton that he abandoned this after

his quarters when the afternoon work

! Shaw's Springs. After a lengthy in
terview Corbett announced that White
and DELANEY would have absolute
charge of his training; dictate his
method of fighting and be chief advis-

and consequently knows something of
