the American heavy weight pugilist,
took place at the Ormonde Club at s
o. clock this morning.
At3:30 o'clock the men were awak-
ened by their trainers and thoroughly
sponged down and rubbed by them, and
each received stimuIaut in the form of
an egg-ilip.
At about 5 o'clock the two principals
entered the ring, followed by their
seconds.
On the call of time both men advanced
at onco to the center of the ring. After
short preliminary sparring Slavin led
oil rather low with his right This was
returned by McAulilIe with his left,
which missed its mark. The Australian
quickly followed 1t up with good ono
from the left. Then the right was busy,
and in some exchanges which followed
McAuliiie had decidedly tho better of it.
When they broke away McAuliho
landed q powerful blow on his oppon-
ents chest with his right. but Slavin
promptly retaIiated wherou4on Nc
Aultle came to the ground.
The second round ended In another
drop for McAuliiie, resulting in Slavin
being declared winner.
After McAulitie came to the ground In
the first round there was tremendous
cheering in the Australian corner. Upon
McAulife's rising the two got together
and McAulifle landed terrible blow on
Slayin's face. The American then
landed once on the face of his man, and
twice with his right hit him tremendous
blows, time not being called until Nc
Aulne left oil, with decided ad-
vantage.
In the second round McAulitIe landed
with his right on Slavin's face, and
then quickly got away to escape a de-
termined rush by Slavin. Right around
the ring the Australian chased his man,
who now began to cut sorry figure,
and when they got close enough Slavin
was twice more strenuous In dealing
punishment with his right. After the
men closed the American broke away,
having lot the worst of the deal.
on resuming the fight Slavin saw
his chance. Awaiting himself OF
1t very quickly, lie went in to
finish his already beaten man, and he
soon knocked McAuliiie down with u
clean blow, and after waiting for his re-
turn recommended most vigorously. 1t
was now all over with the Amer rican
boy, as he only rose to receive terrific
punishment and went down again as
soft as possible.
Finally his seconds, seeing that further
perseverance would be worse than use
less, intimated that Slavin had most ef-
iectually defeated McAuliife. The an
nouncement occasioned n scene of the
widest enthusiasm. The fight was for
