New ORLEANS. March 3.-General satisfac-
ton Is expressed on all sides at the fight last
night. as being admirably managed 1t has
added to the prestige OF tho Olympic Club. and
will probably result in number OF good
matches being mndo. Nearly all the pugilists
were delighted with tho arrangements and
anxious to make engagements with the Olym-
pics. Tho large attendance present ut tine
fight was far above the average in respect
ability seen at the prize ring. Gen. Nelson A.
Miles OF the United States army was among
the many prominent strangers who saw and
enjoyed the battle.
Most OF tho spectators last night wero for
| Fitzsmmons. but 1t was quite evident that
they were determined that the best man
should win. Charley Mitchell declared that
he had always been unwilling to tight
down hero claiming that there was
some prejudice against him: but said
he was now certain that no could get fair
and square justice and was willing to have
a match before the Olympic Club. Slavin also
said that he would gladly ilt.ht before the club.
| He would do nothing. however. until after his
match with Jackson. Slavin further said that
| he and Mitchell were in conference with tho
| officials Of tho olympic CLUB regarding
match between Sullivan and Mitchell for
$4,000 side and rs large purse rs the club
would offer. to take place in October.
