Through the bleacher section
wire fences have been run, marking
off the zones of financial standing
First behind the chairs come rows
of seats held at $40, $25 and $50
each. Then come the SIS seats,
the $40 rows in great number
Behind these highest seats a
broad walk surrounds the arena. 1t

placed that the flow of the crowd
will be well distributed. There is.
no central point of egress at which
crowding thousands may aim, en-
HANGING the common danger to all
crowds of panic and stampede.
Beneath the bleachers are the
quarters of the fighters, the dress
ing rooms in which they will don,
or rather expose, their fighting
toys. The two camps are separated
by the width of the arena, and a
short aisle, kept clear of the traf-
fic will be reserved for each man
and his followers when they make
their progress to the battle ground.

several others, providing for in all
100 newspaper men.
From this level around the ring
the sections deviate outward and
upward like spokes of wagon
wheel. There are eight of these
wedge-shaped sections, and each
row of seats is five inches higher
than the one in front, the last row
rising thirty five feet from the
ground level. The seats do not
run one behind the other, but al
ternate, so that the man behind
looks down on the ring between
the heads of the two directly in
front of him. By this arrangement
the ring will be flanked by slop,
ing wall of faces and staring eyes
circling the fighters on all sides
to a height of thirty feet. There
will be no space lines between
them, just solid wall of faces
glazing down at the white square.
Between the press seats and the
bleachers there is a gentle slope
upon which approximately 500,

ing forward until it was too late
even to protest.
The pressure upon the governor
had not been RENTED for a mo-
ment. He declared that he did not
believe the state law would justi-
fly intervention, however, and with
this statement from man known
to be opposed to prize fighting, the
promoters were content. They did
not fear that the authorities would
step in, and carried their prepar-
atoms forward without further con-.
sideration of the opposition.
Great was the CONSERVATION,
therefore, whe Governor Gillett,
when the actual erection of the
arena had been begun, and every
thing was considered settled. an
nounced that he regarded the con-
test as a prize fight and not a
boxing contest and that he, in ac-
cordance with the laws of Califor-
mia would not permit it to be
held. There was a talk OF a con-
test in the courts, bat it was seen
that this would be too long drawn
| out to admit of decision in time

making it decidedly plain that he
meant what he said, and would go
to all lengths to stop the affair,
the promoters gave up, and picked
the state of Nevada as their one
sure stronghold.
