Carson City, New, March 17.-Dawn OF

that could be desired by the several thou
sand people who had Travelled many
miles 10 this bound valley to see
the great tt-Fitzsimnons fight.
Late last night the weather was bitterly
EoId, the sky was overcast with clouds
and light f1urries of snow fell several
times, with every indication that day
break would find the prospect for a cold,
cloudy day ahead, and perhaps several
inches of snow on the ground. and n
Euch case there. would have been great
disappointment in this section of the
word. for Il had been officially stated
that the battle would not occur unless the
BUN was shining SO that the verascope
rould be worked at the ringside, but the
reputation of Carson at this season of the
Ssar asserted itself and a little after 6
o'clock the sun rose over the snow-cov-

whole valley and white mountains on all

moderation in the temperature and It
could be predicted that when the sun
was a few hours high it would be a per-

No rews had been received in town
from either OF the training quarters thus
early in the morning. but with the
weather conditions favorable, it was
xnown that there was no reason 10
chaSEe the program which had been
made. The town was astir early, and
crowds began TO gather about the hotels
and railway station. waiting for the in
Ginning trains, and all were eager for any
piece OF news or gossip in connection
with the fight.
AT 1850 o'clock the weather was clear,

the entertainment.

the proper credentials. No mercy was

justice, however, Il must be sad that
there was very little trouble in get

ushers, for the most part. knew their bust

handling the crowd than there would have
been IN a metropolitan theater of much
smaller size.
Under the seats at the west end of the
arena was small shed about ten by fif-
teen feet, which was set apart for the
use Of FEtzs.mmons as dressing room.
The dressing room of Corbett was situated
at the south end OF the arena. The pas
sages by which the men entered the ring
were at right angles to each other. The
dressing rooms were so located in order
that there would be no possibility OF the
men or their trainers coming in contact
and causing trouble.
