BIG FIGHTS SCHEDULED.


haSt ueSudy morning.
Dan is looking better than when
we last sa w him and looks several
pounds heavier, which he denies,
and is az jolly as ever. Mr.. Stuart
will remain here a week or so and
will probably make some interesting
announcements before leaving us
again.
ayes, am still engaged in the bust
ness of bringing ambitious boxers
together, and l think 1 have some
splendid drawing cards on the string
tor Carson.
1.-The regulations imposed by the
law in other states, while admitting
of so-called contests, seem to promote
the flakes" rather than the legiti-
mate sport and those who like clean
methods are not at all satisfied with
the contests pulled off in New York
and elsewhere. Chicago isno better,
so far as / can see"
There is just one point upon which
Mr.. Stuart is reticent, and that is
who will do the fighting here.
at would not be policy for me,
perhaps to give too many names at
Just this time, tor | am not the only
man in the field who would like to,
bring some of the big ones together,
but Jetfries, barring some unforeseen
accident will certainly make another
trip to Carson, and l will furnish
him with an opponent that will be
worthy of him and one that will
make a contest, and will bring few
people here to see them"
"Fitzsimmons."
Mr.. Stuart didn't deny it, but re-
ma rked that should Rhulin make
good she wing against Jetfries,
match between Jeff and Fitz would
be hummer.
pictures again? Well, you know
the picture business has been about
done to death. That however is an
after consideration. Then there is
another matter that will interest the
sporting public. McGovern, is one
of the champions who probably has
as many admirers as any other man
in his business. might induce him
to make Carson a visit
81 guess that with Jeffries and Nc
Govern on the string, with probably
better railroad rates and with the
experience of previous occasion we
can bring crowd of people to Car
son that will be much larger than
the last one"
"You have been quoted, Mr.. Stuart,
as having said, in Denver, that you
this State?"
"Well, to illustrate Just how much
truth there is in that, it is fact that
not even the brakeman saw me in
| Denver. The story is not true. There
was time when l might have been
glad to have been interested in lot
terry concern in this or any other
State, as business venture, but that
| time is past. Uncle Sam has made
postal regulations that are SO strict
that lottery company cannot use
the mails. may not be posted on
this proposition but if someone were
to present me with a lottery located
in Nevada, at the present time, l
would think that l had a white ele-
plant upon my hands. However,
my opinion about something l am
not interested in is of little conse-
quence. 1t is simply out of my line
Ny business here is connected en-
tirely with the events of which l
have given you an outline, and I'M
less something unforeseen happens,
they will surely take place in Car
son this year"
Mr.. Stuart would like to bring off
these fights the latter part of May or
the first of June, preferably about
the 25th of the former month.
1t may be of interest to know that
the grounds tor another and greater
arena have already been selected
and that Mr.. Stewart holds the pa
pers that place him in possession of
them, for his use whenever he wants
them, so it will be seen that he is not
losing much valuable time in max
ing arrangements at this end,
All who remember the great tinan-
l. %
Stewards management gave Carson
and the business men of the COM
munitY will hail his apDearance on
