Carson, New. Feb. 19-The sun took
few snap shots at Carson this morn
ing, and strangers were enabled to get
their bearings, but the exposures were
not long enough to reduce the height
of the snow drifts to any extent. To-
ward evening, the sky clouded over
and the barometer, after few spas
modic tremors, steadied at fair.
Visitors crowded the sidewalks all
the morning and talked over the pros
poets for clear day on March IL. All
were in good humor Corbett was ap-
parently the happiest man in town.
After smoking the pipe of peace with
Julian last night, he retired early and,
TO use Billy Woods expression, he was
faster than San Francisco flea this
morning" In the presence of a select
few, the champion worked for 49 min
utes on the stage of the opera house.
Those who watched him during the
week observed that his speed had in
creased palpably and that his bellows
were working more easily. One of the
most interested observers at this even
ing's workout was Governor Sadler,
who expressed aStoniShment at Cor
belts wonderful speed.
The champions training quarters are
ready for occupancy and the entire
Corbett party will move to Shaw S
Springs in the morning.
Behind a quieter horse than the ami
mai which ran away with him last
evening, and compelled him to walk
two miles in the snow three feet deep,
Julian drove out to Cooks ranch He
reports that Fits quarters will be in
shape tomorrow.
Director General Stuart is consider
ably better today. In response TO the
resolution of Representative Rebo in
the Missouri legislature, Stuart wired
that gentleman this evening, tender
ing him a box for the use of the JEFF
ferson City delegation and extending a
cordial welcome to the committee. The
sporting fraternity is delighted at the
prospect of a revival of athletics in
Missouri, and the Carson politicians are
naturally elated over having set the
pace for their eastern brethren.

eight representatives of eastern news
papers and a large number is expected

ters in the hall. leased by the Western

Stuart requesting him to reserve seats
for visitors from distant points con-
tinue to arrive daily. Regarding the
messages, Mr.. Wheelock said this even
ing: TT is impossible for us to make
any reservations. Where cash accom-

time tie message reaches Carson. This

fusion. All will be treated alike"
