effort to keep on equal terms with Jack
son, but received several more singing
left-handed blows on the mouth and
eye. jackson was shooting his right
with great effect, and had the best oi
tne exchanges when the two men were
ordered to their corners.
Tenth round-Slavin came up very
game, but weaker than he looked.
After few exchanges Jackson landed 9
swinging right-handed blow on Slavin's
throat, sending him against the ropes.
Before Slavin could recover jackson was
on him with both hands. Slavin be-
came dazed from the effects of the terri
bic punishment. The negro fought him
all around the ring and succeeded in
knocking him out in the first two min
utes of the round.
JACKSON DECLARED THE WINNER.
Jackson was declared the victor amid
terrific cheering.
Jackson tipped the scales at 1913
pounds, and Slavin at 1856.
Jackson's seconds were "Parson"
Davies, Joe Choyinski and Jem Young.
Slavin's seconds were his brother Jack,
Tom Williams and Tom Burrows.
Mr.. Angle was referee. All the ar
rangements of the fight were admirable.
and the contest was one of the fairest
seen in long time.
sLAvIN NO MATCH FOR THE NEGRO.
Slavin, knowing the man he had to
deal with, soon abandoned his running
tactics in favor of cautious sparring.
When it came to out-fphting, Slavin
was no match for Jackson, who displayed
wonderful science, yet Slavin's sudden
collapse in the tenth round was an utter
surprise to majority of the spectators,
who thought Jackson could win only by
points.
An innovation was having the ring
twenty feet in diameter, instead OF
twenty-four.
Among the solid bets recorded are one
OF G15OO to G2OO on Elavin, made at the
Victoria club, and of a200 to a1O0, also
on Slavin, at the Criterion club.
sLAvN BADLY USED UP.
At the close of the fight, Slavin, as he
lay helpless and disfgursd, appeared
almost dead. He presented q woful
appearance, and plainly showed the
effects OF his terrible punishment. His
eyes were tightly closed, his face badly
swollen and discolored, and his body
covered with blood.
Jackson, too, lost some blood and bore
marks of the terrible encounter in
which he had been engaged, but he was
in comparatively fresh condition when
was officially declared s'out," and jack

negro walked away without any assist

the struggle much longer. He appeared
mot greatly the worse for the encounter.
AN ARIsTocRATIc AssEMBLAGE.
It is not too much to say that no other
match ever excited an equal amount of
interest, although little actual money
was wagered until the night OF the con-
test. There were present dukes and
earls, and marquises, and baronets, and
mortified aristocrats in .profusion.
Dol. North, Buffalo Bill and Artist Fur
Miss were noticed among the crowd.

names should be mentioned.
THE AUSTRALIANS PLUCK.
The sports in attendance upon the
fight, while applauding Jackson's mag
nanimity in not finishing his opponent
earlier, think he would have been more
had he done 90. jackson is
not savage fighter, and when in the
tenth round. though blinded and dazed,
Slavin pluckily declined to lie
down and admit his defeat,
but held up his CORY head to receive
blow after blow, Jackson in helpless,
dogged manner, stopped and looked
as much as to say: "Have not /
done enough? ?" His adherents encour-
aged him to continue his blows,
and again they were rained upon the
almost defenseless man before him.
Slsvin swayed feebly. stood up again,
but finally in response to a terrific
blow, sank in heap on the floor.
