: SAN .FRANc1sco, Jan. 9.-Jem Mace and
his protege,. Slade,, appeared in a boxing
match at the. MetropoIitan Temple lasl
evening. Slsde, when stripped showed
up finely. He is well proportioned through.
out, heavily muscled in the. arms and
shoulders, with powerful loins and good
legs. In sparring he showed himself very
active on his feet, and quick, accurate
hitter. Mace seemed to have little, if any,
advantage over him in skill In fact,
Slade got in more blows than his opponent.
There was no heavy smuggling. Mace made
a speech, saying he had retired from the
ring, but would meet Sullivan or any other
man with gloves.

badly damaged, and house mile and a
