 NEW ORLEANs, Sept 9.-The outcome of the Skely-Dixon battle was what ninety five of every hundred persons who knew both men expected, and already the effect Of the fight which it is claimed is very unfortunate for the Olympic club Is quite apparent. Said a prominent resident of this city:
 This w,ll be the last time that cOlored man will be pitted against a white man at the Olympic Club, that I can assure you I hat is one reason why admire Sullivan. because he wont fight negro.

 l NEW ORLEANS, Kept. 9,-Many peo- pie observed the livid appearance of Jack McAuliffe as he saw Sullivan de- feated. He had given Dick Roche his check for S1S,250, all of which he re- quested Roche to play on Sullivan for him. He also borrowed 5500O, which he put up against S2300. The loss of the fight meant ruin to him, according to what he thought. He was greatly relieved, however, when he discovered that Roche had used his judgment and had only bet S400 or S500 on Sullivan. The biggest loser of the day was J. Kelley, of New York, the ex-base ball umpire, who backed Sullivan to the amount of S21.000 He says he will have to commence life all over again. If there was ever a crestfal en crowd of sporting people + was the Manhattan Club COZ tingent of New York. They came here full of enthusiasm for Sullivan and staked their money on the issue There was considerable talk last night of a serious nature regarding the stake money on the Sullivan end of the string. It was said by some very prominent sporting men that while Charley Johnson and Jim Wakely got credit for being the back CTS of Sullivan there is good grounds for the belief that neither one of them had a dollar up in the stakes, but that the whole S10,O00 had been put up by Percy Rockwell who has since died and there was possibility of the estate suing the stake holder to recover the money. 'ParsOn" Davies who won large amount of money on Corbett will issue cha, llenge in few days in behalf of Peter Jackson to fight Jim Corbett for a stake such as he will then name, or that can be agreed upon, and the largest purse off cred.
