"NEw YORK. December "a. 1891"
Mitchell, the three Slavin brothers, Fred Gal
laher, their friend and representative; James
j. Corbett, Arthur Lumley and Prof. Mike
Donovan and a host Of sporting men met at
the office of a sporting paper on Centre street,
according to appointment. at O'Clock yester-
day afternoon for the purpose Of stopping all
talk by agreeing to meet and settle which was
the better man of the two.
SULLIVAN AND sLAvIN. s.--H
The party then dispersed and Slavin and
Mitchell met Arthur I. Lunley, representing
Charley johnson, John L. SuIlivan's hacker.
Slaviu talked business from the start He and
Lumiey agreed to meet next Tuesday ut noon,
to sign articles to fight to finish for $4,000
side before the club Offering the largest purse.
Each man will put up ~, so forfeit
The stipulation made between Slavin and
Sullivans representatives was that the men
! should fight within fifteen weeks after SaIli-
vans theatrical contracts expire. which will
bring the fight into September. II WAS agreed
that ii Peter Jackson should whip Sisvin in
their coming fight in London then sullivan
would not meet Slavin. Charley Mitchell acted
az spokesman for Slavin and objected to allow
ing SO much money baing tied up. Arthur
Lumley offered to pay Slavin interest ON the
money until September. 1t is said that Rich
ard h. Fox will put mp Siavin's forfeit next
Tuesday. SO far Us can be learned no direct
authorization has been received by Sulhvans
Representatives TO make the match, but Sulli-
van has said he would meet Slavin whom his
engagements permitted and his hacker, Charley
johnson, has taken him at his word.
Mitchell referred to sullivan as the greatest
fighter in the world and said that Slavin merely
wanted to test the question OF superiority.

Grandpa Wyman swallowed hard.

jacks look of utter wonder almost
made grandpa forget himself, and ask
the child what on earth he was staring
at, but he checked the impulse in time,
and the next moment Jacks hearty, re-
lieved: "oh, thank you, grandpa

nursery door, he overheard a few re-

thankful he had made the resolves for
the new year, and had kept them, too.

grandpa so ashamed of himself that he
