roade a speeh admonishing the assemblage to remnin perfectly quiet and declaring tl the first man who interferea with the ai rangements of the club comforts of his neighbor would be unceremoniovsly put out. He was cheered to the echo. Immediately after this speech Prof. John Duffy, who acted as reforee, entered the arens, followed ciosely by Captain Willilam Barrett, who was a8 usual in charge of the contest. Myer and McAuliffe weighed in at a quarter 10 %, 1he former a ¢ vounds and Me- Auliffe at 137%{. Captain Barrett arranged the scales tpon which the gloves were welghed, una finding them according to law ~—full five ounces—nodded his consent to the pross represontatives that the gloves would do. Tho gloves were of & pea-green color, Iaced with red, woolen tape. They were thrown in the cénter of the ring by the cap- tain to wait the pioking up by the seconds of the men. Sixty-five hundred people wers said to be present, and even that number failed to fill the mammoth arena, whose empty seats the rainy weacher was held accountable for. Prof. Duffy announced that Jim Colville of Boston would act as timekeeper for Me- Auliffe, while George R. Clark of Chicago did liko service for Myer. Rubs M. Frank acted as official timekeeper. . Mue First Into the Ring, Jack McAuliffe was the first to enter tho ring, which he did at 9:15. Myer came & mo- ment later. Both men received groat ova- tions, Knowledge of the fact that the pugl- listic grudge of long standing was about to be settled awakened tremendous applause. ‘The men were calied to the center of the ring by Refereo Dufty, who, together with Cap- ain Barrett, instructed the men as to how they should avide by the Queensberry rules and the Olympiu club ruies as to breaking away. Joe Choynski and Professor Robert- #0n were McAuliffe's seconds, while Jim Nel- son beld Lis bottle. Id Myer, Alf Kennedv and John Eckert seconded Myer, while Alf Kennedy held the bottle. At 0:20 everything was in readiness for the battle to beg'n, and both men sat in their cornors eyeing each other closely. 8 mon were ordered 1o shako bands at 9:25 and the gong for the first round was sounded. The men jumped to the center of the ring, MeAuliffo looking pale and Myer rosy. Mac led for the stomach, slipped and feil. On re- gaining lis feet Myer landed s lignt lefvand Jack smilea. Both men were extremely cau- tlous, though McAuliffe was the ag- gressor. ‘ne latter stepped in and de- liverod & neat left-nander on the nose and got awsy without a return, Myer was forced to s steke, buv danced out of harm’s way; came up aghin and took part in a clineh In the midale of the ring. Every move by tho men was beartily cheered, and Myer missing a left hand lead, fell it on his opponeut and was clincbed. It was a protty round and the men were seat to their cornors, not.a bit the worse for it. Myer Gotting the Worst of 1t. Second Round—McAuliffe landed a heavy right-hander und Myer clinched, delivering & heavy rignt hiwseli. There was warm work in the center of the ring, with Myer on the defense. MoAulifie feinted with his left, landed his right and was cross-coun- tered. ‘Ihe men cliuched, and upon break- ing away Myer landed a right-handed kid- ney punch, ~ McAuliffe noxt landed his 1oft on the nose, McAuliffe knocked Myer down With & heavy right upon the eye, and upon getliog up the men clinched, though Myer was groggy from the heavy right on the cheek. Just as the round ended Myer was nearly floored with a_heavy richt and left on the face, McAuliffe luoked a 10to 1 shot at this stage of the game, for he was fighung a fast and furious battle. Round Three—McAuliffo landed right and Myer clinched around the hip. Myer re- ceived a heavy left hand swing on tho head and came ncar falling, McAuliffe nexi landed & heavy left on Myer's nose, and in & clinch Myer hit bis oppounent sevoral times. Both mén were now weak from their tre- mendous exertions, though McA uliffe seemed the stronger of thetwo. The latier landed soveral ieft-handed stomach punches and Myer clinched a' »r recelving a right on the juw. Myer wus seeminely very weal, though his wonderful recuperativo powers enabled him to make a reasonabie defense. ‘This was McAuliffe's round, and Myer sat in his corner for his minute’s rest. He was plainly in distress. Still Bad for Strentor, Round Four—McAuliffe landed iight on head and missed same on his opponent by clever duck. McAuliffe nearly fell from a right on the head, but never toucned the gruulnt Both mean were eager to fight and oth landed light blows on head and stomach. MecAuliffe slipped to the ground and was accidentally hit by Myer. Me- Auliffe missed a vicious left-hand swing for the stomuch, though be narrowly escaped right and left for his head a moment later, Myer was knocked down near his corner with & boavy right on the foreheud and stag- gered from a left swing. The fighting so far is something terrific. Nothing like it hus ever before been seen in the Olympic ring. Round Five—McAuliffe landed heavily on the stomach, and Myer nearly fell, The men mixed matters aud Mac clinched about the body. The latter landed right-hand stomach punch ana escaped Myer 1n return, Myer barely got out of the way of a left lead for the stomach, and in‘'a clinch both men landed right und left and McAuliffo running in, landed heavy right on the face, The men had to be parted at the end of this round. Round Six—MecAuliffe boxed Myer toward the latter's corner, but missed-a left lead for the stomach, McAuhffe lanaed heavy left on face, but received the same compiiment in return. Both men extremely cautious in countering. ‘Lhey landed stomach blows and exchauged blows for the head. Mc Auliffe missea u left lead, but caught Myer coming 1n with his right, after missing a left leaa for the stomach ana ducking. Myer Improved a Little, Round Seven—McAuliffe landed his usual left punch on the nose, though be missed the same hand for the stomach later. Myer aimed & vicious right band, but it went into the air. Myer next stopped . heavy right ‘with nis head and clinched to avoid punish- ment, In countering he landed right and left on McAuliffe’'s head; a clinch followed. Myer followed McAuliffe close.y, tha former landing a light Jeft upper-hand ' cut just as the gong sounded. Tho westerner’s chunces were considered to bo better, Neither was much hurt, however, though soveral heayy * blows had been recorded, mostly to the Wiliamsburger's credit, Round Eight—This round was begun with a hug, though Myer appeared to w t0 be the ageressar, for he landed & heavy punch on the head and repeated tho blow with his right. A great deal of clinching was dono n this round. First blood was cinimed and allowed for McAuhffe, the ruby coming from , Myer's right cye. Ho was brave, however, . #nd MoAuliffe was half knocked down and bals fell from a clinch, The men were des- " perately ungry now, and a fearful slugeing maten 100k place. ' Both men were very weak ard Myer's step was unsteady going to his corner for his minute's rest, Billy Was Already Finished, Round Nive—Another hug opened the round, but the men broke away fairly. Great cooluess characterized the contest. M Auliffe was still the aggressor. Mac ‘na rowly missed the right on the pointof the Jaw and nearly knocked Myor down with a right-hana swing. Myer fell from exhaus- tion and could scarcely rise. Myer fell on the ropes and fell from right and lefu haoders on the hand, The westerner looked beaten now and nearly fell from one of his misses. Ho was very tired ana went to his corner. ‘This round favored McAuliffe, ~ though Myer's friends still piuned their faith on bis recuperative powers, ound Ten—McAuliffe commenced his ngnnnlu ‘work, which told 80 much 1n the other rounds, and Myer appeared 1o be rat- tled. MeAuliffe was not throwing any hances away, however, aud clinched to ayoid the right. Myer was waiting for bis « famous right hand jolt and got 1t in with ter- ritlo force, though McAuliffes did not fall. MeAuliffe received a heavy right on the side ‘and Myer got double the compliment. The Cimter was very weak and MeAunffe was willing to rest himself. Tho men clinched « and were it that posilon when the rouno W.

Me- Auliffe walkea jauntily to his coraer whilo the westerier seemed slow. No stimulants were ®ffered the Williamsburger, though Myer was rubbed and red with lemou. o Chunge Noted. Round Thirteen—M8Auliffe landed the left hand in the face and Mryer clinched. The former walked around nhis opvonent eing him closely, and Myer ked away. McAuliffo attempted to lund a torrific right on the head, but was stopped by Myer's forearm, McAuliffe stole in and landed a heavy left on the nose, and dropped his hands and walked away, though 1n a rally later both men lunded blows on the hei Myer gotting the best of the exchango, When the gong sounded, both men eyed each other Round Fourteen—Myer responded to tho call of time looking much better. Mc- Auliffe landed a heavy swing on the jaw, which nearly turned ita recipient around. MecAuiiffe forcea Myer to the ropes, deliver- Ing b'ows on the head iu tho break-away. Myer pushed his left on his opponont's nose. Terrific blows were landed, followed by a neat bit of poxing, McAuliffe attempted to feint with his loft for the stomach. Myer would not bite, however, and the round ended with honors easy. Knocked Oat and Made Up. Roun® Fifteon—The opening of this round was characterized by several awkward at- tempts on the partof both men, and the audi- ence cheered when Myer was kuocked down, with a heayy right. McAuliffe knocked him down again as he got up, this time ho lay helpless on the ropes uutil he wus counted out, It was a heayy right hand swing that did the trick, and MeAuliffe was borne triumph- antly on his seconds’ shoulders to his corner, The Williamsburger was mude the recip- iontof a_hearty npplause notwithstanding the fact that New Orleans was known 1s & Myor city. The Williamsourger’s secoads opened champagne in bis coruer while Myer was offerea & glass of the wino by his con- querer, which was accepted and a hearty handshake wound up the greatest battle recorded 1n the lightweight ciass since the days of Billy Edwards, Barney Aaron and Sam Collier—these good old timers of tho days gone by. Myer Knew He Was Whipped. Any close observer of men, any student of human impulse, saw at tne outset that in his heart Myer did not expect to defeat his op- ponent. ~ T'nere was in his stolid face no glint. of bard resolve. Ho was thero bacause the match was made; because be had been trained for the encounter; because others, 1f not himself, belioved that there was a chance for him to sucoeea, The two men are scarcely to be compared as to scientifie form. One shambled, the otber trod firmly. One slouched loosely s he squared away, tne other was alert, springy, confident. The offensive throuzhout the battle was assumed by McAuliffo. Myer, to be sure, lod occasionully, He could not always stand and wait, giving his foe bis own tme for rest. When, in the second round, MeAuliffe knocked his man down twice there came into Myer's face an expression born in his hope- less heart at the outset. When, in tho eighth round, McAuliffe caught Myer on the right cheek and the blood trickled down his face there came into the ayes of Myer a look like that dumb animals give those whom they acknowledge their masters, Ho would fight, ob, yes, but then win was notin Myer’s nearby bistory, and be knew it. Game he was, no one will 'deny that, but his rallies were generally short and his wobbling anatomy had in it no power to stay or stop his opponent. The taunting smile on McAubffe's face was met by Myer with an oxpression of pitiful willingness to endure as long as he could. He had no steel in his muscles, ‘There was no vicious spriog i his arms. 1t was the spectaclo of a sleek, force- ful racer matched for a race of sneed and en- durance with a patient heavy-hocked horse from the farm vard. When He Was Finished, ‘When in the fifteenth and last round Mc- Auliffo slatied his fists on Myer’s stomach, tace aud neck, the willing fellow he struck sankto bis knees, reeled backward, recov- cred and lurched forward as though to rise, It was impossible. The dumb belplessness of the second attempt was wore noticeable. He rell back upon the ropes, balanced, swerved and fell, Meanwhilo, as though made of steel springs, McAuliffe stood with arms ready 10 strikke down again his foe should he wet to his feet. But the ten secouds passed, and the shouts of victory broke forth, Myey Iny defeated, but no more surely de- feated than when ho entered the riag.” I'ne difference was that exhanstion and bruises had been added to defeat that lay in his heart when time was first called. Myer is not of the class to meet McAuliffe, and the result of the fight is the demonstration of this fact. After drinking champagne in their corner McAuliffe and party pushed their way through 1he mass of spectators to McAuliffe’s room. Where more wine was opened and Mc- Auliffe treated his intimate friends. Me- Auliffe was in a carriage when the Asso ated Press representative saw him. He did not seem much exhausted by his hard batile, but was in the merriest of moods. Mac Makes a Littlo Talk. No, I am not hurt,”” he said. “Myer has improved a heap since our fight at North Judson. There he was green. Now heis a fighter. He gave me u hard and desperate battle, but by avoiding his right and e fully judging distance, 1 puiled through.

LOOKING OVER THE BANTAMS Points and Powers of Dixon and Skelly Oare- fully Weighed and Oompared. GRISWOLD THINKS DIXON WILL WIN There May be a surprise In Store, but the Prepondorance of Evidence Favors the Colored Champlo t- ties of the Men, Orysric Cron Roows, New Onteass, L., Sept. 5, —|Special Telegram to Tue Bge.|— There is much interest manifest among the sports horo 1n the bantam argument between Dixon and Skelly tomorrow night. While Dixon is a hot favorite, the masses are not unprepared for a surprise, which 1 doubt will ever come, (George Dixon, the Haligonian, is the true and unadulterated champion in his class, feather weight, of both continents, he has conquered the best rien of America, Europo and Australia. Ho'is a born fighter and takes toitlike a duck does to water. He holds himself ever ready to meet any man of his woight who fs able to secure sufficient buck- ing to justify the venture, His record, al- though interspersed with numerous draws, is a brilliant one. The weight at which he und Skelly are to fight 1s 118 pounds, weigh in at 3 in the after- noon. This is said to be a trifle high for the sadale-colored Bostonian, while it is Jack’s highest and best form. Yet Dixon is very elastic in the matter of weights, and I look GEORGE DIXON, for him to do great work at 118. He was at 117§ when he whaled Fred Johnson, while Cal McCarthy went down before him when he scaled four and one-half pounds less. What Dixen Has Done. Succinetly listed Dixon's record includes the following: Defeated Young Johnson, three rounds; defeated Sam Cohen, nine rounds;: defeated Jim Mack; defeated Bar- ney Finnigan, seven rounds; defeated Fred Morris, four rounds; defeated Paddy Kelly, fifteen rounds; defeated Jim Brackett, five rounds; defeated Bitly James, three rounds; defeated ugene Hornbacker, two rounds; defeated Johuny Murphy, forty rounds; de- feated Cal MeCarthy, tiventy-three rounds; defeated Abe Willis, Australian champion, flve rounds; beat Jack Hamilton, eigh rounds; beat Charley Parton, six rounds; beat Nunc Wallace, English champion, ten rounds; draw with Tom Doughorty, ten rounds: draw with Hank Breman, ten rounds; draw with Haok Breman, nine rounds] draw with Hank Breman, ffteen rounds; draw with Hank Breman, twonty- seven rounds; draw with Cal McCartoy, seventy rounds. Dixon’s last battle was before the Coney Island Athletic club, when ho easily whipped Fred Johnson, one of England’s best littte big wen. Dixon a Favorite at the Post. While 1piok Dixon fora winner, Iam free to say that I think the ex-amateur will give him a stiff fight. George has had a vast deal more actual ring experience than the Brooklyn boy, and seldom overlooks & point offering the shightost vantage. He haos o left that is a honey- Montgomery sure. No one yet has been able 10 impede its progress, and an op- ponent, while looking out for this must needs be, too, upon the keenest guard for his right, tor wiienever the left shoots out like a stained piston, you may be sure that the right is going to follow straight across, and woe bo unto the jaw with which it comes in contact. But after duly acknowledging all of the colored boy’s wondrous powers, 1 have concluded since my mingling with the know- 1ug ones here, that Skelly is by far the clev- erest man Dixon has ever run up against. He is talier, has a longer reach and is overy whit as scientific and clever, shifty, ambi- dextrous and game to the core. Dixon's long ring experience will probably be found a winning offset for Skelly’s superior alti- tude aud length of limb. Skelly Wants to Get Married. This will be Skellv’s first professional fight, but as an amateur he has had & rattling and varied exporienco. He has given away pounds and pounds in weight, and vet has been invariably successful. He 1s but 21, and barring bis wasp-like waist, makes @ fine physical specimen, strippad His arms are abnormally long, bis fists large and knotty, and his legs stanch and steady. He wil! assuredly make a good showing, as two potent incentives will urge aud spur him on to superhoman effort. These are love and a big pot of gold. If he conquers the black Loy he will pocket something like 18,000, then marry the fair young girl he loves. It is a current revort here that young Jack has long been seriously contemplating @ trip upon the sea of marital bliss. But there nas been one hindrance—impecuni- osity, a circumstance that has kept many an- other good man in single harness. Long and impatiently he has awaited an opportunity 10 raiso the dust that would justify him in JACK SKLLLY suming the respousibilitios of the head d froot of housebold. He hails tomor- row night as the golden hour. With the 18,000 ducats he is confident of winuing to- morrow night he will bie himself back to the nome of his falr-haired {namorats, buckle up, and forsake the squared circlo forever. He Wil fight for Dear Life, Skelly 18 no izuoramus, but a quick. witted, shrewd follow. He fully appre ciates e severity of the job he has cut out for Rim- solf, but will go about it llke he would umportant business trausaction, @nd Lo estly believes be will win, “Watch close,' he sald to Morrison and wyself lasteveuing, “'and seo mo stop George UESDAY.

Skelly will have the advantage of four or five pounds to night, as he builds up guickly, and in the interval botween weigh- ing in aud shying his eastor he will take on fully four and a half or five pounds, which uts him at his very strongest and best orm.

SANDY GRISWOLD, TINENT QU SOME P RIES, Points on Sullivan's Shupe and Their Influ- ence on His Power. New Onieass, La., Sept. 5.—The state- ment is printed here this morning that Sulli vanhas no abnormal development of fatabout the ahdomen. While this statement is un- doubtedly the expression of an houest opin- ion, it s an error of opinion and a misstate- ment of fact. There is, to be sure, no longer a Jelly like looseness of flesn about the abdominal wrogion. That has been worked, sweated and rubbed down, but the cleau hound-like outline of muscles is not apparent. A broad abdom- inal belt is buckled closely about the cham- pion when he is at ease, snd is removed when he strips for his showers and for his rubbiogs. When he sits upon a chair and hfts one knee to the other iu the act of pulung on a sock, there are visible unquestionable folds of abdominal tissue which have not succumbed to rubbing or exercise. The fact is not surprising. These welts of adipose tissue are the accom- puniment of added aud growing years, There is almost an ubsence of waist. “That region above the hips and below the ribs will gan with age or ensy living. Sullivan is veurs old, and he bas lived easily during fecent years. That such is the case is evidenced 1n Suilivan’s graying bair, the lines of his face and in the stubborn “as cumulation about the waist line and the ab- dominal region, : Pnil Casey, his trainer, hus, it is true, re- duced to the minimum possible by training these lleshy features; but to say thav th champlon bas no abdominal fuliness s not a wholly truthful statement and is hikely to mislead those who chooso to consider these features of a man’s condition, when mukiog up their estimates of his chauces in a buttle ton finish, - The question fually presents itself in about this form: What 1s Sultivan’s Condition? Is o man of recent corpulonce, who has, by training, reduced it -much and all that is possiblo % Muel of bis ' in perfect vhical condition for dnpel:uw and cxtended efforts!

Sul ivas)s hackers afirm that thelr man was never in hatter shape. There are other veterans who sav thats man well traioed way foel ja fine as he ever did, but the question wheihge & man feels as good at 84 as ho did at abyns: nol be relauvely so efficiont is another matter. ‘Those who guestion Lhus are in the minor- ity, however. ‘They are the reasoners who seek to reach the conclusions by judgment sud not as the result of a preference. There is o feeling shared by, many here that 1f Corbett moets Sullivan squarely through twelve or fifteen rounds, or even if o eseupes the champion for that length of time, the alfforenca fu ages and the presumed differeuce in condition will operate 1o Cor- bewt's favor, On tho other usnd, Sullivan’s followers foel that even if there is & relative difference between Sullivap and Corbett in wze and training, Sullivan sull has all the power, as he has the purposs, Lo simply de- molish the tall western mun before points of age or teatning have tine to combine 1o his bebalf. A deteriination has not yet boen reached by the Sullivan o 84 1o whether Poil Casey will be Sullivan o the ring during his battle. I dou’t koow ye t whetber I shall ack or 1892 not,” said Casoy this morning. *“I have ‘ never done 8o, and I would profer that othors Who know more of such matters than I do should back Jobn in this fight.” “You will doubtless bo relieved when it is over!” was sugrostod, **You may be cortain that I will,” was the answer, and Casey added: *I ncver before trained a pugilist, and vou muy rest woil assured that I never will again. John has worked hard and well, but I do not wish vgain to train & man for & big battle,” Has the Weather Any influence? The atmospnere today is Intensely sultry, the southeast broezes serving only to sat the closo airin motion. The wise men of the turf are discassing the relative wisdom of Suilivan's timo of gotting on the bat- tle ground and that of Coroett and bis party. Iv is urged that Sulli- van left A braciog atmosphere at At the north to como by a tedious journay to iho southern latitude four days beforo his contest. The enervating influence of the change, say somo of the wise men, cannot 1ail to have prejudicial” effect. Corvett, it 1s pointed out, wiil urrive here with his svstem charged with northern ozone, practically stepping from his training quarters into the ring. On the other hand it is held that warm weather hore is training for Sullivan, that it agrees with bim and that he likes it. "This view hns the support of the Suilivan backers and trainers, Corbett, it is further held by the Sullivan adherents, will arrive here just long enough before the fight to feel the encrvation of this climate without hav- ing time to square his system to tho change. His day of rest in the mountains on the way is, by tho samo authorities, regarded of little value. They hold that the faticue of tho long journey ‘may nov be overcome iu this wav, within the day 1n which Corbett may rest before tho fight. After dinner avd asnooze Sullivan was driven again to the gymnasium, where he was for the secoud time today put through bis practices, He took a warming-up over the race track and thon took his other regu- lar exercise. After his shower and rubbing he lounged avout the club house for a time and was then driven back to the St. Charle: The evening was spent with Phil Casey, Sullivan remaining up somewhat later than usual to get some information of the Me- Auliffe Myer fight. It was determined be- fore leaving New York that Sullivan should attend none of the fights save his own, ° Wakely, Johnson and otuers of the Sulllvan party were present at the fight, WANTED 10 ARREST CORE North Carolina Ofclals Tried to Nip the Pugliist for Sabbath Desecration. Spartansnure, N. C., Sept. b5, —Thereis | a very old saying about compliments between the governors of North and South Carolina, but when James J. Corbett and his purty took their hasty flight througn these states today they did not have time to pass compli- ments with eithor of these distinguishea wentlemen. The fact is, the Californian | came very near getting into serious trouble in North Carolina. Corbatt Imd over Sundav at Charlotte and took ad- | vautage of the fine weather to ride sevoral miles in the country. Corbett ran back for exercise and the st mile or two was within the city limits, In addition to this he punched the bag and went | through other exercises in th> car. Aftor | miduizht Corbett was suadenly warned that the solicitor general, who is a lawver and preacher both, was preparing to have Cor- bett arrested on the charge of dese- crating the Sabbath. Tmmediately the wholo | party was summoned from the various hotels and at 2 o'clock this morning loft on tho southbound Washington train. Corbett left his own car, which was attached to the train, and sought refuge in an ordinary berth of another sleeper, whilo a friend stowed bimself away in Corbett’s quarters, on the special train prepared to be arrested for the pugilist. All the movements were made so suadenly, how. ever, that, the authorities were taken by sur- priseé and no trounle was expericnced. Passed Through Georgia, ATLANTA, Ga.,, Sept. 5.--The Corbett special training car, containing Corbett and his friends, was picked up by the Washing- ton southwestern vestibulod limited, which passed through Spartanburg at 11:45 a. m. At every station a large crowd assembled to geta glimpse of Corbett. It was learned today that James J. Corbett will serve a no- tice on the Olympic club of New Or- leans that unless Mr. Sullivan goes into the ring and fights according to Marquis of Queensberry rules there will ve no figns. That is to say, Sullivan will have to show bare flesh from ' his navel up. Cor. bett and his freuds claim that in il Sulii- van’s previous fights he had his stomach bandaged up with heavy plasters from half an inch to an inch thick and they protected his stomach and took unfair aavantage of his opponent. Corbett and party will reach New Or- leans about 7 o'clock 1n the mornine. Cor- bett 1s 1u the pest of condition and says ho is feelng like a 3-year-old.
