Veriscope Reproduction OF the
- Great Battle Seen by a
, -.g
Large Audience.

The largest audience that has heen IN
the Gross opera house for some t'me'
was present Tuesday night to see
Dan A. Stuart's veriscope repro
ductio of the pugilistic battle ne
tween Corbett and Fitzsimmons Tor
the worlds heavyweight cham
puinship, fought ut Carson "tS'
New, last spring.
Although there were quite d num-
Der OF ladies present, a great mai 'r-
jty of the audience were of the op-
Dosite sex, as was, Of course, expect
ed. A number VI ladies cam" to the
door, and being unable to see but a
few of their sex present, they came
to conclusion that it was perhaps
not the proper place for them and
they returned home.
A member of the vcriscope COM
PAW came to the front of the stage
as the entertainment was about to
begin and explained that owing to
there being srch great NUMBER ~
pictures in the fight, it would he nee
cessary to divide the performance
into six acts. as the resl would be
too long if all the pictures OF the
fight were ON one reel. He remained
on the stage and called the attention
of the audience to all the interesting
events of the fight, from the prelin'.
inaries tn the time G'rbett rushed
at Fitzsimmons after he had been de.
cla1eI Defeated.
While the Fitzsimmons adherents
in the audience claimed that the YER
- iscopc pictures of the fight demon
strate the superiority OF their favor
ite over his opponent. and OF course
the victory gives them the nest ol
argument, there were many
present who had heretofore doubted
the ability of FitzsimM Ons to defeat
Corbett, and all OF them now Claim
that the veriscope pictures convinced
them more than ever that II there
was duOIuCI ASuS O"U"~~A ~~'>
men the result would be in Corbett't
favor. They ascribe Corbett's defca'
to overconfidehce aud to his desire t.
pose in the early part Of the fight
when he should have whipped Fitz
simmons before the camera.
Excepting the unstcadiness OF thu
pictures as they appeared on the can
vass, caused by the viabrations y
the machine as the reel was turned
the entire exhibition was satisfact
DRY and the audience was wei
we'll pleased. The unsteadness o
the pictures made it difficult tt
watch them, as it was quite sever
strain upon the eyes. and Tor TIL
reason the exhibition being divided
into six acts was much better thar
ifit had been continuous from star
to finish.

Arthur Spiess has returned from

scows grounded on an invisible bar and
the entire lot of swine was lost over
board.
