Tournament.

The second evenings wrestling contes:
at Odd Fellows Hall drew another large
crowd. Acton and JOhansen, "the frightful
PrussiaD. we're the first brace of gladiat0rs
to appear before the lights. Acton, as
usual, looked confident Of winning the
bout. and his opponent made but feeble
effort to throw the great wrestler. After a
few cat-like moves Acton mad Johansen in
chancery, and 'the frightful Prussian,"
realizing that the game was too difficult
for him to play against with any reason
able chance of success, allowed his
mighty anatomy TO be rolled over until
both of his shoulders touched the carpet.
Time of fall, u minutes.
Dan Mcleod, who stands the only
chance OF the remaining competitors to
win the first prize from Acton, was the
next athlete to enter upon the mating.
His opponent was Alto. the big Indian,
who made such good impression upon
the audience on the first evening of the
tournament The Indian, who is a most
powerfully built fellow, gave the clever

when Mcleod bv spinning on his head
got away from adaDgerOusTposition. The
Indian grew confident, and catching Nc
Leod by the foot he tried 10 roll the crack
wrestler over. but Mcleod could not see il
in that light, and as quick as a flash he
turned on Alto and. securing a hammer
lock, down went the Indian like a sack of
oatmeal. a defeated man. 1t took Nc
Leod, with his great knowledge of wrest-
ling, IL minutes and Il seconds to defeat a
genuine native son.
White, who was pretty well tired out
after his hard struggle with Mcleod on
the first night of the tournament, faced
TrajanOvich, a splendid-looking specimen
OF the athlete, but very poor wrestler.
White played like cat with mouse
around his antagonist until he saw a good
opening for hold, and in an instant he
had the representative of Sweden on his
back with both shoulders touching the car
Ell. The event of the evening, which Gre
ated any amount OF laughter. was the final
bout between Big Neck Bakulich, the ter
rble anchor-man. and Spider Casey. a
representative Of great family of local
spOrtsmen. Bakulich tipped the scales at
235 pounds. whereas Casey scaled but 40
pounds.
When they stood facing each other.
Casey looked up at his opponent with a
plying expression. as much as TO say:
Nick. old boy, don't squeeze ME to death
II L happen 10 run within grabbing dis
lance OF those hammer-iOck hands of
yours" Bakulich woe a determined
look. and 1t appeared as If il was all day
with the Spider when ihe heavyweight

painful ordeal of being crushed into mince
meat
Bakuich, who without exception is the
most ungainly man that has ever put foot
on carpet, grew desperate when he found

but the referee, who was nearest TO the
wrestlers. decided differently. and in
second the Spider wriggled out of bad
place and had Bakulieh on all fours. The
big fellow remained on the defensive for
long time, but when cautioned by the
referee that he must wrestle or give up the
match he made a few fruitless attempts to
grab Casey by the leg. The latter was
unable to get his heavy opponent on his
back, although he partly succeeded In the

told the referee that he had had enough of
the game. and the bout was given to little
Casey, who we'll deserved the award.
Ihls evening the great struggle will re-
suit when Acton and Mcleod will shake.
As neither man has been defeated so far
they must meet twice TO decide which man
