New YORK, Aug. THE boxing match
between John L. Sullivan and Herbert a.
Slade, which came off last evening at Mad
ison Square Garden, and in which the
Maori was knocked ont in three rounds,
continues to be the principal topic Of con-
versation among down-towners. In the
leading sporting circles the opinion is gen.
eral that slade disappointed Jem Mace and
that he scarcely made the fight his size
and training warranted his friends to e1-
pect. An old prize fighter and trainer
gives the following particulars OF the
fight: What Sullivan lacked in size
weight was made up in perfect form. 1t
appeared as il Slade had not had enough
work, or exercise OF the proper kind, for
his outline when stripped did not look
compact and solid, or fit TO endure heavy
punishment. The men came from their
corners and SPARED cautiously for a few
moments, Sullivan inclining to be agrees
i've. Suddenly he planted his left square
in the Maori's face, which staggered him.
Quick as a flash the Boston Boy followed
him up and drove his right below his OPP
ponent's left ear on the neck, knocking
him against the ropes near his corner.
Slade, however, recovered, and they came
to close quarters. No wrestling being al
lowed. the referee called for them to break
apart, which both instantly obeyed. A
little preliminary sparring followed, in
which Sullivan pressed the Maori, and
finally got an opening and sent him down
on the boards by a terrific blow, but Slade
sprang up quite lively, when they sgain
clinched. After being separated Slade, for
some reason, rushed for the ropes, and re-
ceiyed several severe blows on the back OF
the neck, and a final one which sent him
clean through the ropes and head first off
the platform. By the time he regained
the platform the three minutes were up.
This round made it apparent TO all that
Slade was already q whipped man, and it
was only q question as to how much pun
ishment he could stand before he was
knocked ont. Sullivan had scarcely drawn
q long breath I'D had forced the fighting.
which showed he was in splendid condi-
ton. From the outset Of the second
round Slade was on the defensive. Sulli-
van pressed him half around the ring
and then knocked him down. After get
ting up Sullivan pressed him again, but
Slade appeared to have been woke up and
stood off his antagonist until the three
minutes had nearly expired, when he was
knocked down again by a terrific right
hand blow and the round ended. Slade
appeared to be all broke up and pumped
ont, but he came to the scratch for the
third round; yet they had no sooner
squared off than Sullivan gave him a ter
rife blow in the face with his right. Slade
was dazed, but he rushed in and attempt
ed to clinch with his adversary. he, how
ever, was received by a succession Of half
arm blows, and finally q Highlander sent
the Maori to the floor for the last time.
He fell like a bullock, and the police, see-
ing the blood gush from his nostrils, an
nounced that the fight must end. But
Slade signifed that he had enough and
was taken TO his corner.
