The total cost of the arena reached s250.000. although the original esti- mate was S110,000.
 Grading on Boyle's thirty acres alone cost s40.000, for it was neces- sary to fill in great area of marsh land. Lumber cost s95.000.
 Two million board feet of lumber have been used in the arena. This is enough to fill 133 freight cars enough to lay board walk from New York almost to Pittsburg.
 Nearly Half Mile Around
 The circumference of the arena is is 2,016 feet, each octagonal section being 252 feet wide at the outer edge. It's nearly a half mile around it.
 "Ringside" seats and box seats will be folding chairs. with backs All other seats, including everything costing $40 or less, are of the circus seat type-planks inches thick and 91t inches across. The seating spaces are marked by a thin painted line. Each seating space is 1612 inches wide.

BENTON HARBOR, Mich, July 1.-Sailor Freedman of Chicago, challenger for Benny Leonard s lightweight title in their fight here Monday. today went through a work out that left little doubt among the spectators that he will give Leonard one of the toughest fights of the latter.s career. The youthful fighter. barely 9. made no defense, while his boxing mates swung on his jaw, jabbed at his stomach and pounded his head Freedman only laughed.

 There are IS entrances to the arena and two additional emergency exits. Four of the entrances are for the ringside ticket holders.
 The arena is on a sufficient incline to give everybody a view of the arena The first 100 feet from the arena the pitch is 12 inches to every 10 feet; in the second 100 feet 20 inches to every 10 feet. and in the last 100 feet the pitch is "A inches to every 10 feet.

Although many names were men toned as a possible referee, there was never any doubt in the minds or those who hold the political power in New Jersey but that Harry Ertle of New Jersey would be the third man in the ring. Rickard, Dempsey, or Carpenter had nothing whatever to say in the choice of referee.
 However, ErtIe was worthy of the job. He is an excellent and eXper- fenced referee. He has been officiat- irg in and about New Jersey for sev- eraI years and has been the third man in the ring with every champion of

 Safety Precautions
 Safety precautions have been taken by Rickard and the authorities of Jersey City. A high pressure water main, including mile of pipe. has been laid and there are IT fire plugs inside the arena. Just before the crowd is admitted the flooring of the

Once in their seats the men and the women, too, immediately prepared to make themselves comfortable. Many. remembering the scorching almost unbearable heat at Toledo-with Wa ter at 50 cents glass-brought bot ties of water with them, and all had food in some forn1--candy, fruit or sandwiches and the smarter among them did not forget the lemons with which to quench their thirst when the water supply became exhausted.

A change for the better in the all- around public attitude toward the big bout has come since Rickard. after severing relations with Charles B. Cochran and William A. Brady, an- rounced that the $500,000 purse had been eliminated.
 So now both Dempsey and Carpen- tier have more at stake. The winner will get 36 per cent of the gross re- ceipts. the loser 24 per cent.
 If the gate is 100000 that means S360, 900 for the winner and $240,000 for the loser. The arenas cost of $100,000 will boost the total fight cost to sI00,000. Besides that there will be huge amounts to be paid for up- keep of the arena, attendants wages, pf

 Rickard has paid this premium for two months protection; he can coll lect s100,00o If either fighter breaks a finger or a leg. gets sick or in any way is prevented from appearing in the ring July ?. If either dies, Rick ard is out of luck. for it's strictly ar accident insurance policy.
 Another item will be a s25,oo0 purse for a firstclass preliminary to the big bout Rickard denies 1t will be Benny Leonard and Freddie Welsh.
 The New Jersey boxing law permits F rounds. with no decision.
 Which makes it a tougher job for Carpenter than for Dempsey.
 Had you thought of this: That to win the worlds heavyweight cham pionship Carpenter must knock Dempsey out; but to retain his title Dempsey will not be compelled to knock out Carpenter?
 Tickets cost from s5 to $50. On this basis. the total receipts easily topped the million dollar mark.
 That was more than twice the re- ceipts at the Dempsey Willard fight in Toledo. which fell something short of a half million.
 We're in better location here" says Tex "A few minutes ride in the Hudson Tubes will take you from New York to either Groves-st. or Summit -av. station. Thirty Acres is about half way between these two tube stations. "One reason I picked this site, right in New York's back yard, was the fact that three railroads run near. There is track space for 240 Pullman cars So ever if the hotels are full, people from out of town can live in the Pullmans."
