Yes; I am ready to post forfeit of $500 or
$1,000 at once"
Pony Moore and Mitchell were in Slavins
company at the time, and the former pulled
out big wad of bank notes and wanted to
put up the money on the spot.
Mitchell, however, took the proposition very
cOoly. and declared in a cOntemptuOus tone
that Sullivan was only buffer and wanted 10
make the match in order 10 advertise himself
on his Australian starring tour. for which he
starts from San Francisco next Thursday.
Frank" he added, turning to Slavin, I'm
usually with you, but if you make this match
I'm not"
The Australian champion seemed to be i'm
pressed by Mitchells words, for he finally
said that although he had engaged his pas
sage for England on Saturdays steamer, he
would remain here and make the match,
agreeing to any terms that might he named,
if Sullivan would foregO his trip 70 Australia.
That is the way matters stood early this
morning.
Sullivan is under contract TO 90 TO Aus
tralia and cannot break his engagement. lie

into training for the fight. Sayin can 60
back to England with his friends, and he has
already promised to return 10 this country
three months from now. 50 that there IS be-
lieved to be no obstacle in the way of arran9-
ing meeting. If the fight comes oil the
stakes will be the heaviest that have ever
been put up in pugilistic encounter.
