New YORK, Aug. 6.-The boxing match
| between John L. Sullivan, of Boston, and
Herbert A. Slade, the Maori, came off this
evening in Madison Square Garden, and
resulted in Slade's being knocked out" in
the third round. Between 10000 and
10000 people had assembled in the gar
den. About ITO policemen preserved
order therein, and many more
officers were on the outside. People
fiocked to the building as early as 6
O'clock, two hours before the opening of
the doors, in order that they might secure
good positions to see the match. No seat
ing room could be had in the building
at 8 o'clock and standing room too was at
premium.
A platform was erected in the middle Of
the building, and on this was ring twen-
tyfour feet in length and breadth. The
receipts of the affair are thought to be
about $4,000 OF which Maori was to get
40 wer cents
The general opinion at the garden was
that Sullivan would come off victor in the
match though some thonght Slade would
give him more trouble than his previous
antagonists. Bets were made early in the
evening--fve to one in Sullivan's
favor and three to one that
he would knock the Maori
out in two rounds. All classes of society
were represented.
Soon after 8 o'clock the sport began.
There were number of sparring contests
between men famous with gloves, yet
these excited little interest and seemed not
to command much attention. At IL the
master of ceremonies 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 first to make his appearance through a
lane opened in the crowd with some diff
Guilty by the police. He mounted
the platform and stepped be-
tween the ropes, which. were
considerably higher than in former match
es in theIgarden. Sullivan was attired in
a white undershirt, flesh colored tights,
white stockings and black CATERS. Slade
soon followed Sullivan. He was a much
heavier looking man than Sullivan but
his movements were more awkward, COM
pared with those of the Boston champion.
The Maori wore white undershirt, white
tights and black CATERS with low white
socks.
They took seats in opposite corners, and
number of sporting friends and hackers
clustered around, while the Maori 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 that the cons
testants must obey at once when the ref
erree told them to break.
Iol &l,o-
ed and shook hands. Both had removed
their undershirts. Sullivan's flesh looked
hard and firm and he appeared in good
condition. Slade looked larger than Sui
livan and heavier, but his flesh had a soft
appearance, while Sullivan's had a con-
tented look. After cautious -sparring of
| few seconds, Sullivan delivered the first
blow squarely on Slade's countenance fol-
lowing it by another on the neck driving
him into his corner. A storm of cheers
greeted this performance of Sullivan. The
men SOON were at close quarters and rapid
exchanges took place. Break was called
by the referee and they then spared for
the opening, which Sullivan obtained, and
he drove the Maori, finally knocking him
-wn.
Springing up the two again clinched, but
the Maori soon had enough, running to the
ropes, Sullivan assisting in the movement
by heavy blow on the back of the head
and neck, when well-directed blow sent
the Maori between the ropes and Oft the
platform head first.
The Maori soon regained the platform,
and the three minutes had expired. While
sparring Slade appeared winded and Sulli-
Van all right.
In the second round Sullivan beat Slade
all around the ring, knocking him
down twice, Joe Goss shouting
to Sullivan "Hit him in the belly John,
give it to him in the belly John.'' Slade
had ''Bellows to mend" and Sullivan was in
| fine form.
In the third round Sullivan led off with
terrific right hand square in the face
which staggered Slade. The two clinched,
but Sullivan breaking away again, ratified
away upon his antagonist whose replies
were weak.
Maori was finally sent sprawling upon
the platform. When he lifted his head
blood was pouring from his nostrlls
and he appeared dazed and unconscious of
his surroundings. Sullivan stood over
him. Inspector Thome and Capt. Williams
then rushed on the platform to stop the
fight. Slade made their interference un-
necessary. He had enough" He was
helped to his corner and his gloves were
removed. Sullivan discerded his gloves
and shook hands with Slade. The cham
pion was loudly cheered.
The two men then went to their quarters
and were soon dressed and left the garden
followed by the thousands of people who
witnessed the battle.
