Il am net directing any challenge to Ne
Aultfe," he answered, My desire is to
meet Corbett or Sayin. and | am ready at a
moments notice to sign articles to fight
either of these at any club for reasonable
purse. l 90 not expect to enter the ring
with Corbett again. as he has almost ac-
knowledged that l am his superior, conse-
quently my only hope for a fight is when
Slavin arrives in this country.
sullivan will not be ready to meet SIa-
win for year The latter is looking for an
Immediate engagement, and l shall promise
him the first opportunity Of adding golden
eagles to his sack. provided he can whip me
in a contest to finish. If he is still in the
ring l cannot see why lie can object to a
meeting with me. l am ready to meet all
corners. but my preference is COrbett and
Slavin.'

BIG JOE BACK.
AlLSl Ri dDScuC5 VI bhO NthlA b4G COO
McAulife put in an appearance yesterday
on the streets in company with number of
friends, who were plying him with all kinds
OF questions.
McAuliffe is the same big-hearted fellow
he was prior to his departure for England.
He has grown stout. and weighs close on
to 240 pounds. Speaking OF his night with
Slayin, he said that when the match was
made he was sauguine of achieving a VIC
tory, but unfortunately the hard-hitting
Australian turned the tables on hi M when
he lad the contest almCSt within his grasp.
Il lad Slaviu almost whipped TO stand
STILL" said Joe, when he happened TO catch
me on the point Of the jaw with right
hand swing.
The body blow which 1t was said had
done me gave me very little concern.
Slavin punches hard. and there IS not man
| in the business to-day who can take the
same amount of punishment and stand up
! to his Cruel.
WILL BE NO PICNIC.
''Some people think that Sullivan will
| have 4 picnic when he faces Frank, but II
| they ever meet in the ring you eau take my
| word for it that Sullivan Will get hit harder
| than he ever was in his life"
Speaking of CoTbett, McAulIffe said that
! the people of New urk look upon him as
| being the clevereSt man in the ring, but as
! far as lighting IS concerned. they would not
! back him to whip Slayin, Sullivan or any
/ pugilist Of note who is capable OF hitting
| nard.
! 1t is possible that match between Cor
| bett and Charley Mitchell will be arranged
! when the latter again returns to New York.
! McAuiffe would not say anything con-
! corning his match with Cardiff, excepting
| that he will try his very utmost to win and
! prove TO the sporting fraternity Of this city
| that he can yet fight little bit He will go
| into training Immediately, and Will be
| looked after by Con kOrdan.
SULLIVAN AND sLAyIS.
a writer for the Philadelphia Times,
/ speaking of pugilists and pugilism makes
! the following references TO Sullivan aud
/ Slavin: Those who know Sullivan best
| say that he will meyer reduce to a reason
! able lighting weight. Those who would
have the public believe that they know more
about sullivan and his intentions than he
does himself loudly maintain that he is to-
! day as good man, physically. as he ever
was, and that he will train down to his
| proper hshtIng weight and annihilate the
man from the land of the kangaroo in few
| rounds. Putting prejudIceS on one side, the
| records OF the lnen are about equal.
Sullivan can lay claim to any number OF
| knOckouts with the gloves, but large ma
| jorty of the men he has LAID low had little
| or no claim TO be called pugilisis, while out
! of the three battles he has fought with men
the subsequent performance of two, kirain
| and Ryan, showed them to be nothing more
than second-raters. while in his dispute with
! the third, Mitchell, lie was unable to dc
more than make draw of it.
| with regard to Slavin, while one may be
| lndlsposed 10 attach much Importance ID
| his numerous victories in Australia, it mus
be admitted that his unbeaten record since
he left his native land is point worthy OF
consideration in any attempt TO weigh I'll
his chances with Sullivan.
CoNSIsTE Mt AT LEAST.
EtSmjth and Kilroln NAV ha
the sort of men On the defeat Of whom {
pugllist should found a claim TO rank in the
highest class. Nevertheless as SlAvin had
Smith whipped almost from the start, an
as he disposed of Kilrain, who had drawn a
pr0tracted battle with the Englishman, in
short order. the Australians form is at leas
| consistent.
at may also be well to remember thai
Sullivan, trained by Muldoon more thor
oughly and conscientiously than he had
ever been prepared before, took a long anC
weary while TO defeat Kilrain who, it i!
notorious, was only half fitted for the battle
by Mitchell. But when Jake met Slayin ht
was handled by the very man to whom, a!
many people believe, Sullivan owes hi
victory at Richburg. Yet Slayin defeated
than John earned the verdict in the South
wEIGHT-THRowING.
