LONDON, May 3O.-The National clul
was crowded to suffocation tonight will
spectators anxious to witness the Slavin
jackson fight. The entrance became q
much obstructed by the crowd that th'
owner of the building refused to ALLOW
more to enter without ticket. TIVE
hundred policemen kept order in tht
club house, where the surging mass as
sembled with the expectation of being
admitted. Lord Lonsdale opened thu
proceedings with speech, and the fighl
began. After the first round it was evi
dent that Slavin had no chance against
the bigger man, yet he always came uI
pluckily. In the tenth round elavir
was knocked helpless against the ropes
being in terrible condition from the
fearful punishment he received.
LORD LoNsDALE's SPEECH.
Lord Lonsdale's epeech of introduc-
ton was long, and was received with
impatience. Considering the public
comments on prizs-6ghting, he begged
the press to avoid using any objections
BILE word in the reports, and to describe
the contest as really boxing match nm
der the recognized rules.
THE TALENT DISAPPOINTED.
Presently . loud shout announced the
entrance Of the combatants. Slavin's
expression was one of dogged confidence,
while Jackson's was that of q man who
did not quite know. Both men looked
in the pink of condition. In the opin-
ion OF the majority. there WAS only
one man in it, and that was Slavin.
They are now left to ponder over
the fact that it ia one thing to
possess hit such as Elavin's but quite
another thing to get 1t home. More
than once. Jackson's supporters felt
apprehensive, while Slavin's adherents
always expected great punch from
their favorite, which never came. In
fact Slavin did not shine as boxer. In
the meantime Jackson's blows looked
playful, but they. hurt. He countered
we'll and took all the sting out of Sla-
full part Of it was Slavin,s stamina. Il
~ A HANDSOME FINISH. N
The remark was often made that Jack
son was no finisher, yet he gradually
wore his opponent down, and when it
came to finish he gave Slavin one of
the handsomest settlers ever witnessed,
to the finest match on record.
Despite the fact that jackson is q
negro, the victory is extremely well re-
ceived. jackson invariably nailed his
opponent as the latter came on, thus
securing blow Of double impact. The
frequent viBitations on the nose and
mouth nearly choked Slavin, the blood
that tyicAlsd down his throat troubling
him greatly,
xHt FIGHT IN DETAIL.
It waa 7:l0 when jackson and Slavin
made their appearance in the ring to
begin the fight. The usual prelimina-
ries occupied only . few minutes.
In the drst ro0nd Jackson led off
with q light tap on Slavin's body. Pro-
longed sparring then ensusd. Slavin
did not force the fighting at the great
rate expected. Jackson, though he did
not hit with much force, kept his long
left arm constantly in Slavin's face.
Twice Slavin clinched, and was ordered
by the referee to break away. He then
tried to land his right ON jackson, but
the latter jnmped away, and the round
ended very evenly.

called Slavin made savage rush at his
antagonist, as though he intended to
annihilate him, but Jackeon's long left
arm was always in Slavin's face. Three
times Elavin rushed to close quarters
with the same futile result. Jackson
then took the initiative, aed drove his
left and right in quick succession on
Slavin's body. Slavin appeared to be
firing as the round closed.
Third round-The round opened
amidst intense excitement. Jackson
kept prodding Slavin in the mouth and
eye, and the latter organ began to show
signs of closing. Slavin kept bearing
in, but try as he would always failed to
land his dangerous right on his antag-
oniet. In the last minute of the round
q splendid rally occurred, when Slavin
hit harder and jackson struck more fire.
