LONDON, Sept. 23.--The flasco with re-
gard TO the McAuliffe-Slavin fight seems
10 be the result Of an ingenious scheme on
the part OF +. Crichton Temple, smanag-
ing director Of the Ormonde club, to make
little money. It is probable, however,
owing to the efforts of Richard X. Fox.
that the fight will come of in any event.
Fox said last night that he would give
R5Oc, and that Lord Lonsdale would IN all
probability offer the same amount to have
the match come Off in France or Belgium
with bare knuckles Ia case Police Justice
Partridge refuses to allow the affair at the
Ormonde club.
In case Lonsdale refuses to put up half
the stakes" !" said Fox, II will offer the en-
tire Al 900. This match has got to be
fought and am sure McAuliffe WIN win.'
Temples Little scheme.
Temples scheme seems to be this. He
has sold 200 tickets to the fight at prices
varying from Rs0 to RiO, but all persons
who have bought tickets have been COM
pelled to become members of the club.
The price Of subscription to the club Is
three guineas. Temple will refund the
purchase money to all ticket holders, but
he will retain three guineas from each one
as membership subscription, SO that the
Ormonde club will be in about 81, 900 on
thesscheme and will also have the 21, 900 1t
offered to the contestants
siavIn blamed at First
The warrants for the arrest Of MoAuliffe
and Slavin were issued on Saturday with
Temples knowledge, he having been in
communication with Inspector Chisholm
all the time the men were training.
Temple said nothing about ii, but con-
unned 10 sell tickets and accept member
ship subscriptions until the arrest of Nc
Auliffe and Slavin was published Il was
az first thought by English sporting men
yesterday afternoon that Slayin and his
hackers had conniyed at the arrest aud
stoppage ofsthe fight as 1t was known he
had conviyal time with lot OF friends
at bis training quarters in Dovercourt
Sunday night. The story Of Temples
relations with the police has put differ
ent aspect on the case.
The Arrests.
McAuliffe was arrested in his lodgings
in York road In the afternoon, and Slaviu
at the Liverpool station upon his arrival
from Doyercourt
They were both taken to the Lambeth
police court, followed by tremendous
crowd. The crush was SO great at the doors
Of the court that McAuliffe was separated
from, the officers who had him In charge.
and WAS put out Of the building by police
men who did not know who be was. Both
men are very angry over the matter. and
blame Temple entirely for the police inter
ference. it is possible that Justice Part
ridge may allow the fight to 20 on, in which
case the Ormonde club will be made 10 full
I'll its contract. The men were to have
fought with The Police Gazette standard
gloves, weighing two ounces, in twenty
foot ring, McAuliffe Mt 210 pounds and
Slayin at 1877 pounds.
Both men have given bonds at R200O
each TO appear in court this afternoon for
examination on the charge OF conspiring to

ceived at The Police Gazette office.
LONDON, Sept 23.-At meeting. at the
