As to the outcome of the right nt Carson Citj , there are two opinions, and they are as widelj divergent as the two poles upon which the earth revolves. A great number, perhaps a majority, can bee no winner but Corbett, while there is a host or others who pin their faith and their coin to Fitsimmoiib As bald, these opinions are in a great degree born of favoritism for the re spective principals, and are not tlie result of a cool, calm, and dispassionate summing up or the abilities or both men.

Of the right at Carson -Macon" talks as follows His vfews, it is harellj necet sarj to state, are entitled to all the weight and respect of a seer and philoso pher. He sajs "Once upon a time there was an old lady who fell ill After awhile she be gau to convalesce, and in replj- to the daily inquiries made bv her neighbors as to the state of her health, the invariable replj was that 'she felt a little better this morning.' Among the inquirers was a crabbed old bachelor, who, after a couple w eeks of asking after the condition of her health, said, l ain't going to ask after her anj more. Anybody who has been getting better for a fortnight ought to be in robust health by this time.' I thought of this the other day, after read ing bulletins for two weeks about Jim Corbett ami Bib Fitzaimmons training. According to all accounts, thej started in 'feeling prettj well, thank jou,' and thej've been getting better everj- daj". They ought to be as f;ue as riddles by tlns time. "I have no doubt that both areinasgood condition as it has been possible for them to get under the circumstances, but it must be admitted that the circumstances have been anything but favorable Ihej have both been weather bound in about as God forak( n and unde-irablea place as acivih ized being can exist in CarMMt City is not an ideal place of residence under the iaost favorable climatic conditions. In mid winter, buried In snow, ice and sluh, it is simply an Icelander's sheol It is the only place, though, that Dan Stuart c mid pull the fight off into advantage.and so it has to be put up with, in accordance with the maxim w Inch -avs, 'What can't be cured must be endured ' I hope its climatic n elitionsmaj improve soon, but vve.iil know th.it most old time almanacs prognosticate for St Patrick's Daj ' About tlustime look out for storms' ihej generallj manife-t themselves, too, in the most unpleasant nianui r.

Then with a fair field and no faxors, we shall have no aftermaths in the waj of complaints about 'not btlng in condition, to account for the defeated man's discomfiture. I firmlj believe that if Corbett goes into the ring as gcod J.r.d as fit as lie was when he faced Charlcy Mitchell he will take the conceit out cf Lanky Bob in short meter, but I don't want to hear anj reports to the effectthat 'I don't feel right, but couldn't say uo be fore the fight. The man who deceies his friends about his condition In this c on test will ha,e precious few of them when it is o-ver. "To those who know anjtlung about the art of boxing it is amusing to read of the 'new blows' that each man is preparing for use on tlie other John L. Sullivan was right when he said that there were no al solutcly new blows, and that those in ue now had been used by all the big fighters of the ring since the days of Tom Spring and Jim Ward, who were the fathers of thc'niodern style of boxing In their days 'swings' and 'hooks' were deprecated, be cause their use was likely to break a man's fists, which were then unprotected while fighting. Now they are employed so ad vantageously because the men's hands are enveloped in padded gloves, which protect them in a great measure from the effects of contacts with an opponent's skull anil facial bones That is oil there is to the 'new blows.' "Jim Corbett fights more like an old timer, like Jem Mace, than those who follow the slugging stjle of John L. Su'livan, and that is in, the way he uses his feet and legs His footwork Is superb He can get in to an opponent or awaj- from him, or side-step to cither side of him with greater celerity and certamtj than any h-,ht or bantamweight I know of. It was the ability to use his feet and legs that enabled him to so baffle Peter Jack son's efforts, and made Jolin'L. Sullivan s tenlble right hand swings laughably puer ile Fitzslmmons is not overlj good on his legs As the boys say, 'He walks all over hissclf' In a very awkward waj- In this respect Corbett ought to have a ,jrent advantage over him.
