the Australian champion, and Joe Nc
Auliffe, the American heavyweight
pugilist, took place at the Ormonde
club at o'clock this morning. At $50
the men were awakened, and were thor
oughly sponged down and rubbed by
their trainers, and each received stim-
ulant i'll the form of an egg flip. At
about o'clock the two principals en-
tered the ring, followed by their sec
ondS. On the call of time both men adj
yanced at once to the center of the
ring. After short preliminary sparring
Slayln led Off rather low with his
right. This was returned by one from
McAuliffe with the left. which missed
its mark. The American quickly fol-
lowed it up with good one from the
left, then the right was busy, and in
some exchanges which followed Nc
Auliffe had decidedly the better
of it. When they broke away
McAuliffe landed powerful blow on
his opponents chest with his right, but
Slavin promptly related, whereupon
McAullffe came to the ground. After
McAuliffe came to the ground in the
first round there was tremendous
cheering in the Australian corner.
Upon McAuliffe rising the two got to-
gether and McAuliffe landed terrific
blow on Slavin's face. The American
was at once keen on the face of his man
and twice with the right hit him
Tremendous BLOWS
time not being called until McAuliffe
left off with decided advantage. In
the second round McAuliffe began
with his right on Slavin's face, then
quickly got away to escape
determined rush by Slavin. Right
around the ring the Australia
chased his man. who now began to cut
sorry figure, and when they got close
enough Slavin was twice the more
strenuous in dealing punishment with
his right. After the. men closed
the American broke away. having
a lot the worse of the deal.
On resuming the fight Slavin
saw his chance. Awaiting himself of it
very quickly he went in to finish his al
ready beaten man, and he soou knocked
McAuliffe down with clean blow. and
after waiting for his return recon-
menced most vigorously. 1t was
now all over with the Mis-
sion boy, as he only rose to
receive terrific punishment. and going
down again as soft as possible. Finally,
his seconds seeing that further per-
severance would be worse than use
less, intimated that Slavin had
most effectualy defeated McAuliffe.
The announcement occasioned
scene of the widest enthusi-
asm. The fight was for $1,000
and the Police Gazette championship
belt. The fight lasted six and three
quarters minutes. McAulitfe's face
showed marks of severe punishment.
In order to bring the contest within
the limits of the law gloves of six
ounces instead of four ounces were
used, and the number of rounds was
reduced from thirty to fifteen. The
hour of the fight was kept a secret
i'm order to avoid a mob crowd
ing the accesses to the Ormonde
club, the main door of which was
guarded with the greatest vigilance.
Slavin, accompanied by Lewis, his man.
ager, and Start, his trainer, arrived at
the club house at 6 O'Clock last evening
and went TO bed. McAuliffe, at
tended by his trainer, Billy Mad
den, and his manager, Richard
K. Fox, came later, and took a shorter
rest than his opponent. AT o'clock in
the morning the sporting celebrities
began to assemble at the scene of the
fight. Among the most noted
of those present were Lord Mar
Gus Beresford, Count Kinskick,
Hon. M. Greville, Pony Moore,
Moore, Charles Mitchell! and Charles
Archer. AT o'clock the doors of the
gymnasium were opened and the ring
ropes were speedily surrounded. The
fighters appeared at 4:30 O'Clock and
were loudly cheered. Both appeared to
be in fine condition. McAuliffe was
the first to enter the ring. He had for
his seconds Jack Burke and Billy Mad
den. Slayln was attended by Jem Car
ney and NJ. Mccarthy. When the ref
erees took their positions and time was
