Official Statement of
Receipts at the Fight

Reno, New, July 6.-Tex Richard
last night gave out an Official state
nlent of receipts and attendance at the
big fight 1t shows The total gate re-
ceipts reached the enormous sum of
$270.775. The raid admissions were
1870.
II addition to those who Paid to
see the fight Richard says there were
7G0 complimentary tickets given to
the press and others. He estimates
the number that slipped in at various
places around the arena, breaking
holes in the boarding or climbing up
TO the rim of the big structure, at l.
500. All told the attendance is given
at 5000.
There were sold 1.259 seats at $50;
$50 at $40; ga at $50; 1906 at $25;
1857 at 500; 1,70G at SIS, and $3.50
at SO.
The purse. with the bonuses given
the two fighters. amounted to S121,-
coo, and Richard figured that his ex-
perience at San Francisco cost him
about $4,000. and the arena and other
expenses here about $4,000. Thus
he and his partner. Gleason, will have
a profit of about 100000, besides
their moving picture money
