police station, where he ald McAuliffe were
arraigned and bound over in e2 600 10 keep
the peace, each to appear to- morrow.
In Court the Police Inspector. justifying
the arrests, said the match was to be gen.
uine prize fight He produced copy of
the articles, and said the gloves, as exhib-
tied in the window of sporting paper,
were smaller than ordinary gloves and
were thinner around the knuckles.
The Secretary of the Ormsnde Club said
they were ordinary boxing gloves, and the
contest was to be strictly in accordance
with Queensberry rules No breach of law
was intended. He added that the police
had been melted to make the arrests by
jealous enemies Of the club.
The Inspector denied that the police had
been melted.
The magistrate directed the police TO
produce the gloves before finally deciding
as to the iIlegality of the fight He added
that if, in the meantime, the prisoners
should venture to proceed with the fight,
he would deal with them severely.
The suddenness of the arrests prevented
the defense from Obtaining counsel. To-
morrow the legal question will be argued.
At meeting of the Ormande Club to-
night it was decided that if an adverse
decision was rendered the match would be
decided Oh the Continent.
Richard K Fox, Of New York, in an in
terview, denounced the arrest of Slavin
and McAuliffe as an outrage. He said it
was not proposed to have prize fight, but
only limited round contest with ordinary
gloves, and there was no reason why the
police should interfere. Both men were in
splendid condition and anxious to have a
fair contest, and the police had no reason
to anticipate breach of the peace. The
fight was nothing but what often occurs
openly in England and America.
Temple proprietor of the Ormande Club,
said he believed the management of the
Pelican Club was at the bottom of the mat
ter. If the fight had been arranged by the
fashionable West End Club the police
would not have interfered, in his opin-
ion. The Pelicans were jealous, and he
had expected all along that they would try
to stop the fight. He did not believe there
was anything ''snide' about the two fight
ers, who were both anxious to see which
was the better man.
THE NEWS IN NEW YORK.
New YORK. September 22d-Great ex-
element is caused here among the sporting
men by the news of the arrest of Slavin
and McAuliffe. There was, according to
sporting papers, more money wagered on
the result than upon any preceding fstic
match. No match has attracted such atten.
ton since the Sullivan Kilrain affair. Certain
evening papers here printed half column
account of McAuliffe's career in connection
with the news.
is sLAvIN AFRAID?
New York. September 22l.-A speci al
cable to the Police Gazette says that many
rumors are being circulated about tonight.
Billy Madden, McAullffe's trainer, claims
that Slavin is afraid of the American, and
beliyes he did not want to meet him. a
well-known American says the arrest of
McAuliffe is due to the fact that Slavin has
trained OFF, and those who backed him had
the American arrested to save their money.
Crichton Temple, of the Ormande Club,
attributed McAuliffe's arrest to the fact
that the Prince of Wales was going to at
tend the fight.
At meeting of the Pelican Club to-day
Lord Lonsdsle and Richard K. Fox of
New York decided that rather than see the
match fall through they would, if the au-
thorities prevent it, put up between them
the same purse offered by the Ormonde
Club, and bring the fight off on the conti-
nent.
