Maori, came OF this evening in Madi-
eon square Garden, and resulted in

pie had assembled in the garden.
About ITO policemen preserved order in
the garden, and many more officers
were outside. People focked to the
building ~ early a. 6 o'clock, two
hours before the opening Of the doors,
in order that they might secure q good
position 70 see the match. No seating
room could be had in the building al

premium. A platform was erected in
the middle Of the building, and on this
was the ring, twenty-four feet in length
and breadth. The receipts of the affair
are thought 10 b about $4,000, Of
which the Maori gets 10 per cent.
SULLIVAN THE yAvoRrrx.
The general opinion vss that Sullivan
would come Of victsrious in the match,
though some thought Glade would give
him more trouble than any of his pre-
vious antagonists. Bets were made
early In thu evening of five to one in
Sullivan's favor, and three TO one that
he would knock Slade out in two rounds.
All classes Of society were represented.
Soon after 8 O'Clock the sport began.
There were number of sparring con-
tests between men famous with tho
gloves, yet these excited little interest,
and seemed not TO command much at
tention. At length the master of cere-
monies announced amid cheers and
yells that the event Of the evening-the
match between Sullivan and Slade-was
in order. The Boston Boy was the frst

Slade soon followed Sullivan. He was
much heavier looking man than Sulli-
van, but his movements we're more awk-
ward, compared with those of the Bos-
ton champion. The Maori wore white
shirt, white tights and black CATERS,
with low white socks. They took seats
in opposite corners. number of
sporting friends and hackers crowded
around Sullivan, while Jem Mace was
at the back Of Slade. Jack Davis was
named time keeper, and Barney Aaron
referee. The announcement was made
that there was to be no wrestling, and
the contestants must obey at once when
the referee told them to break. Time
was called and the men approached and
shook hands. Beth had removed their
undershirts. Sullivan's flesh looked
hard and firm. and he appeared in good
condition. Slads looked larger than
Sullivan, and heavier, but his flesh had
soft appearance. SHADES face wore
an anxious appearance, while Sullivan's
had oontented look. After cautious
