One of the remarkable features sen-
nected with the veriscope pictures ON
the Corbett-Fitzsimmo glove con-
test, which tooksplace at Carson City
Nevada, March II. is the great INTEREST,"
taken in the exhibitions by women.
From the very first production at the
Academy of Music in New York of
these pictures, the ladies were strongly
in evidence at every exhibition. Dur-(
ing the long run of the veriscope inn
Boston at the Boston Theatre, the pic
lures became the fad Of the hour with
society in general and the fair sex in
particular. At the evening exhibit
tions, box and theatre parties in full
evening dress were the rage. The rea-
son for the great interest shown by
the women in these pictures is UNI

the opportunity Of witnessing a clean
scientific contest between the two fore

ing subjected to the necessity OF see
ing the men actually suffer These
pictures have been secured by the
management of the Wheeling Park and
will be seen here all next week.

favor. The engagement continues two
days, next Sunday and Monday. On

The great Russian meIo-drama, I'm
the Name OF the Gar" was given its
first production TO a Wheeling audience
at the Grand Opera House last night,
and made a splendid impression. The
applause was deafening at times, and
the company received curtain call at
the close Of each act. The drama is
one Of thrilling interest, but II is de-
void Of the blood and thunder clap
trap. Two tons OF scenery are used in
the production. The story is Of Rus
