GOLDFIELD, New. Aug. 31.-The
sale of seats for the Gang Nelson
prize fight shows that an immense
crowd will witness the Labor day bat
tie. From San Francisco, Los Ange-
les. Denver, Salt Lake, and from Chi
cago and other distant points dele
cations of the sporting fraternity will
be on hand to see the lightweights
contest for the championship.
CAM is impatient for the fight to
begin, as he declares me wants to show
the public what he can do at a weight
which suits him. All the reports from
the GAM camp are to the effect that
he is in splendid shape. He himself
says he is in just as good trina as he
was when he met Joe Wollcott at
San Francisco, when he stood the
PUSHES of Walcott, and landed at will
on the Barbados demon.
Reports from the Nelson camp say
the Dane is as fit as fiddle and is
as confident as CAM. He is said to
have bet large bunch of ready money
on himself and to have advised his
friends to take the short end.

ODD WATER WHEELS.

The people of Syria and TitliS make
their streams do things that Ameri-
cans do not seem to have learned the
secret Of perSuaaing the water courses
Vt this country to perform.
At TitiiS the natives have learned
how to utilize the power of the cur
rent Of the river Kur without building
dams. What they have accomplished
possibly might be done by an Ameri-
can farmer living on the banks Of a
rapidly moving stream and desiring
a small, cheap power. The Cancasians
build floats on the surface of the riv-
er. Into them are set water wheels.
The whole affair is fastened to the
bank in such a way that it will rise
and fall with any change in the level
of the surface of the river. SO that the
power is about constant all the time.
