Veriscope Exhibition Draws Tepid Crowd at Opera House
The mid sized audience critiqued Corbett and Fitzsimmons veriscope show with many feeling they did not get their money’s worth. The display, like prior machines, fell short of magniscope and vitiscope results, while the long seven mile film of the Carson City fight dragged the presentation. The critic lampoons the announcer’s grammar as well. The San tone Express notes cotton market signs of steadier year end, with port receipts down and rising consumption. Nearby deer, given by Henry Turner, roam Seward’s yard after fencing improvised to deter their jump.
