WAR GAME COST HALF MILLION.
War Officials Think It Worth the
Money.

Washington. y. G. October S--Ott,
cial figures have not been 2iveen out
as to the exact cost OF the Bull Run
maneuvrpS by the war department,
but it is understood that they will ap
.oxmate 100000. but the general
feeling is that the benefit done to the
troops. both regular and volunteer,
will fully Justify the expenditure. Th"
railroads are better equipped by the
experience to handle troops, and the
, quartermaster's department has had
many important lessons in the matter
Of transportation Methods Of sup
plying the troops with food by the
commissarv department are improved
and the troops themselves are better
for the experience in the field. The
entire maneuvers passed without Sc
rious accident of any kind, and the
lesson in the war game will be made
a basis for many changes in the style
@? tactics and methods of handling
troops made necessary by the use OF
in proved arms. changed uniform,
and general conditions which have
changed since the troops Of this coun-
try were last in the field in actual ser
vice. Taken as whole the officials
of the war department are pleased
with the result and the annual ma
neuyers will doubtless become an i'm
nortant feature in the training of the
! American soldier.

FRECKLED FIGHTER HAS
BEGUN ACTIVE TRAINING
Fitzsimmons Will Have No Trouble in Getting
Down to the Required 1866 Pounds by July
6-WiIi Do Most Work on the Road.
BY ROBERT

A rolling cloud Of dust moved swiftly down the Boulevard yesterday
toward Coney Island. " swept past the white towers of Dreamland.
swung out again over. the Causeway, and circled toward Bensonhurst,
where it stopped, settled and disclosed to view Robert Fitzsimmons.
Bob is training this time. Fol. two II three months past the
feckled fighter has been threatening to begin work. Once or twice he
went out to look at the road over which he perspningy pants when
training for battle; but there his effort ceased.
FtE is to make 1875 pounds two hours before the battle. This will
be a weight that he al come down to easily by July 6. In Boston
a short time ago Fitzsimmons scaled 1874, and he wa not doing hard
work at the time.
Bob will do the greater part of his work OF the road. He gets up
early. calls his coachman, and has one of the family cobs harnessed.
Then Mrs. FIz takes the lines. Bob drops a few yards behind, and strides
along easily, following the rig The route is over some Of the country
roads near Bensonhurst, down the Boulevard to Coney, and home again.
Yesterday and the day before Fz wanted to climb into the rig on the
homeward trip But Mrs. Fz is a good trainer. She refused to let
him ride, and made him go back afoot. In a day or so more Bob will
70 leading the horse a few lengths, and won't want to ride home.
AFTER his III yesterday Fiz turned carpenter and made some shelves.
Then he wrestled with his donkey, Mcclellan, and a little later went in
lunch. The donkey has been trained by Ftz to chase him around
the lot and bite at his heels. Now and then FHz turns and cnnches, and
ing with all his hoos.
18Th The fight with oprien will take place in the open air, like the.
battle at Carson In which F'tzsimmons won the championship.
Fuzsfmmons Will do his boxing out OF doors, in his back yard, to
himself to working in the sunlight.
When reminded OF the fact that he wa about to nee a very clever
