SECOND lDny Of the T0urmamemt-A
Fine Athletic Exhibition.
The wrestling begun on Saturday at TIL
Skating Rink was resumed Sunday after
noon. The day was cool and quiet, and
large crowd was in attendance, many be
ing on hand from Ruby Hill. The Unior
Guard band was present, and added mucf
to the interest of the exhibition by it's fins
music.
To complete the first round, left unfn'
ished from the day before, James Bucket
and James Waters were the first called
into the ring. They are both unusually
large and powerful men. but the former
had much the advantage over his antag.
onist in age and activity. They struggled
some % or 80 minutes without a fall, and
punished" each other roughly, the can
vas jacket leaving blood lines on their
necks, backs and arms, over which they
were stretched and drawn with all the
strength of the contestants. They were
called apart by the judges for = breathing
spell. After q short rest they came to-
gether again. The second tussle was brief,
ending with the fall OF Waters.
While these two wrestlers were of, Will
liam Giles and Thomas Lawry were called
to the sawdust. The latter was thrown.
The next match was won by Carwithan
over Williams.
The contest which followed ended for
John Waters over Robert Rawlings, the
latter claiming foul play on the part Of the
former, and thereby giving up the wrestle,
as the sticklers did not sustain the charge.
James Ticket and Thomas Williams
took the ring next. Hardly any one
thought that this match would end a. it
did-that is, with the giant Ticket fiat on
his back. but this Is the way 1t did end in
just about a minute. Williams is not
large. but he is firmly put up and a very
pretty wrestler.
The last match Of the first round ended
in victory for w. Williams, Dick Hooking
declining to put o the jacket.
The second round, which was to have
been opened by q match between James
Bucket aud Tom Williamr, began differ
ontly, as one of the two factions into
which the wrestlers and their friends we're
divided (the Ruby Hill and the New Town
factions) thought it was q put up job for
Williams, the much smaller man OF the
two, 'to give his back" to his friend Buck
EFT. The Others said there wa nothing in
it. There was some confusion, but at last
quiet was restored. These men were
shelved as q compromise, and VIM. Giles
and Thos. Manuel were called out. Man
uel did not respond and Giles continued
among the reserves.
Thos. Williams came into the ring then
with John Waters, whom, notwithstand-
ing his superior size and strength, he laid
out on the sawdust very shortly and with
out much effort.
This contest left four men standing"
who were TO compete for the prizes; for
the third and fourth, Giles and Williams,
and for the first and second, Bucket and
Harvey.
Williams laid Giles out, after q slight
tussle, thus getting the third prize and
Giles the fourth.
The last match on the programme was
between Bucket and Harvey. From the
first 1t could be seen that the struggle was
unequal. Though Harvey is a powerful
man with shoulders and chest, nearly as
big as those of q quarter horse, he lacked
the activity and skill that everybody could
see at once in his powerful, splepdidly-
built antagonist. There was but little
furnishing, such as had been expected.
There was hardly time for it. In a minute
or two Bucket arose from above his ad-
versary to claim the first prize of the
tournament and Harvey came from under
to demand the second.
The wrestling was q novelty and o treat
to the Eureka public. many of whom had
never seen wrestling in Cornish style
before. The exhibition was we'll conducted
and passed of very agreeably.
