JACKSON AND sLAYIN.

! Peter jackson does not put much faith
| in the report that Siavin had sent word TO
! England that his fight with him in June
must be called Off Slavin, 1t IS sald IS max
ing arrangements with his friends IN New
| York with q view of fighting Sullivan as
soon as the latter is ready to meet him.
Mitchell is, Of course, conducting things for
his prOtege in manner which he believes
Will create the greatest amount Of talk and
cheap advertising.
Sir Charles is well aware of Sullivan's
intentions and it would be news to him if
told taat the champion of Ameri' a would
not think of fighting any one for
at least year to come. Slavin also knows
that lie must wait year or more
before he Will have AL opportunity
of signing articles with the big fellow and
II is extremely doubtful if he will even
then have chance OF stepping into the
ring with the American.
The white champion Of Australia would
get an extremely chilly reception on his re-
turn to England if he should, at this hour,
conclude not 10 fight the colored champion
of the AnlipOdes according to the agree
ment he had signed. His hackers in Aus
tralia would lose faith in him Immediately
and the upShot would be that his friends
and supporters in England could be counted
on his finger enus.
Jackson has not received any word from
the London Club concerning SaVin's al
fact the whole thing looks. as previously
stated, like little scheme OF Sir Charles 10
keep his name before the public.

The California Club did not lose any time
yesterday morning in sending word to
Slayin. when the announcement came that
he would not fight Jackson, that It wcGlG
give a $4,000 purse for the mill, which is
$1,000 more than Sfavin could get in Lon

give the Londoners the g0-by ana accept
the California Clubs offer lt is safe to say
that the match Will come off at the New
Wlgwam, and that the two clubs-the Pa
cific and CalifOrnia-will Join hands in the
venture. In other words, there will be a
consolidation, and a division OF the proceeds
