NEW YORK. September 27.-The follow
ing particulars of the prize fight in London
this morning are CLEANED from various
sources. In the first round the men ad-
vanced 10 the centre of the ring, directly
time was called. After brief preliminary
sparring during which no damage was
done, Slavin luuged out with his right rath-
er low, which McAuliffe returned with his
left but missed the blow. He quickly re-
piled and planted his left effectively, fol-
lowing the stroke with his right. An eX-
change of blows followed McAuliffe hay
ing decidedly the best of il. When the
men broke away Slavin caught a heavy
blow from McAulitfe's right on the chest
This reused him and he promptly re
taliated, the exchange ending with Nc
Auliffe coming to the ground When
McAuliffe fell il was in Slavins
quarters and the crowd cheered loudly
On rising the men got together, and Nc
Aulitfe landed a terrific blow on Slavin's
face, and followed with several lunges in
the same direction. McAuliffe landed two
more tremendous right handlers on Slavin's
face and when time was called the latter
had the advantage in every way.
Round TwO-McAultfe opened with his
right on Slavin's face, ana then quickly got
away 70 avoid the ugly rush Slayin made
for him. and the latter chased him all
around the ring. Thus early in the en-
counter McAuliffe began 10 show signs Of
a collapse and cut sorry figure. When
they got to close quarters again Slavin
gave a terrific amount of punishment with
his right hand McAuliffee tried TO
avoid the blows by closing in, but still he
had a long way the worst of the deal when
he broke away. After hesitating an instant
Slavin saw that his opponent was dis
tressed for wind, and he jumped in TO give
him the coup dc grace, and with powerful
blow on the head, he knocked McAulitfe 10
10 the ground. McAuhffe rose only TO re
ceive further punishment He was
beaten man and was unable 10 keep out Of
reach of Slavin's blows, which rained fast
and hard. and were remarkably well timed
The beaten man now had all Of the fight
knocked out of him, and was afraid TO face
the punishment. He went down again as
softly as possible. The seconds, seeing IL
was useless to prolong the battle, threw up
the sponge and Slavin was declared the
winner, amid a tremendous amount
of cheering The result staggered
McAuliffes friends for they were conf
dent that he would win. Slavins pRrti-
sans were equally confident though they
never expected that he would win such a
brilliant triumph as the beating of his op-
poneut in so short a time.
The betting cat Tattersalrs before the
fight was in favor of McAuhffe IL was
expected that the American would do the
knocking out if any was done, and that
Slayin's chances We're good if he succeeded
In staving for six rounds The surprise is
great that McAuliffe went out at the hands
of the Australian.
