" Ills WINS wv
Fake.
The wrestling match at the Grand
Opera last night between II. Bernau
and J. w. Turner for purse of $500
and door receipts, IS per cent to go to
the winner and 25 per cent to the
loser, was won by the latter, he
gaining three falls to Bernau's one.
The first bout lasted just II minutes
and 6 seconds. The men went on the
mat at sos p m. Some "stranglers"
and Nelson's" were used in the bout
though the first part was slow and
cautious. Turner at last got q
waist hold and threw Bernau to
the floor with force enough to
kill the average man, but the wiry
professor saved himself, and finally
got to his feet again. Now things be-
came interesting. Both men strained
and tugged, until at last Bernau got
a leg hold and threw Turner on the
mat, nearly deciding the bout. Tur-
ner got out from beneath and COM
menced working for his favorite hold,
the leg ard wrist, which he finally

over on his side, nearly win
ming, but Bernau pivoted and
got away. Hard and rapid work
was done by these men in the latter
part of the bout, and at last Turner
was caught by q half Nelson and
brought on his back, but pivoting he
got away and getting good hold
threw Bernau over, gaining flying
fall. This ended the first bout.
The second fall was Bernau's, won
in 10 minutes and 5 seconds. Nelson's
and strangers and some fine leg work
M srked this round. The men worked
hard. Turner at last procured his ia
vorite hold but could not work it as
the sweat made each man as slippery
as an eel. Bernau succeeded
in getting Turner astride of
his back, and bucking like a
bronco landed him on one shoulder,
nearly gaming the fall. The Pro-
fesor at last got Turner on his back
but the latter made his renowned
bridge which the German could not
break. So lifting Turner's head
from the floor, Bernau suddenly
dropped il on the floor with such
force as to be heard all over the
house. Turner pivoted and got up
his eyes seemed to shoot sparks. He
commenced rushing the bout lifting
aud throwing the Professor 10 the
floor with great force several times.
They wrapped and coiled about one
another like two snakes. Bernau
finally got Turner on his back and
won the fall. Turner and some of
his friends claimed it to be unfair,
but the referee was not partial.
The third fall was commenced
carefully and at the latter part hard
work was done. Turner got double
Nelson on Bernau and doubled him
up like a jack knife. To get this hold
he straddled the professors back,
giving him his favOrite, but, as he
tried to buck, Turner got double Mel
son. Though he did not win by this
hold, it weakened his adversary a
considerable. Bernau at last gained
his feet, only to be stood on his head;
when with a twist, Turner gained
the bout by flying fall. winning it
in 8 minutes and SO seconds.
Now came the fourth, and which
proved the last bout. Both men knew
that they must work tor 1t. Leg work
Nelson's, strangers, and all other
holds we're used. Turner would do
his great lift and spinnln work, but it
proved Intellectual. He also threw
Bernau hard by using cross bullock,
and during the latter part Turner got
four double Nelson's on the professor
in succession, weakening him greatly.
and when Turner would use one of
the Nelson's he would cause the Ger
man to snort like q bull trying to
catch his breath. At last Turner
threw his man in 26 minutes all d %
seconds.
There were many Kisses and cries
of fake, but those who could see the
men work are satisfied that is was on
the square"
