 WRESTLING.

The Bruckton Enterprise thus de- scribes the match between Kelley and Parker. short account of which was published in yesterdays Democrat:
 The men were on their feet for three minutes before they sought the mat and Parker was on top as they struck. He promptly began work on kelly's neck, and the fashion i'll which he twisted that necessary member of the Waterbury mans anatomy was calcu- lated to worry Kelly and those who loved him. Then he played for kelly's leg and compressed hlm into most uncomfortable bunch. His next gentle reminder was to use his own on hei- Tvs features, and the Waterbury mans sluirming showed that ne didn't en- joy that massage treatment. Then Parker bent kelly's neck till the latter showed symptoms of choking, and he made a tremendous effort, twisted about. and with a head spin threw himself over Parkers body and was temporarily out of danger He got great cheer for that bit of acrobauc work.
 Parker grabbed his man before he could get entirely clear, and there was a wicked smile on his face as he start ed again to toy with his victim. He fairly tossed Kelly to the edge of the mat, then jumping for him drew him back again. He started to try ham merlock, but Kelly broke that. Then the local strong man bent the Water bury mans head down again, and with his arm worked powerfully on the back of the head and neck. Kelly could stand no more of it. and he made furious effort, and shaking off the Little Demon" he once more bounded to his feet. When next they went down Kelly was on top, and the Kellyites cheered loudly. Then Par
 ker smiled again, and turned the cheers to exclamations of sorrow by dragging himself over the mat and hauling Kelly all over the place With him. It was so ridiculously easy that there was a roar of laughter. Then, with q quick whirl. he broke Kelly's hold, was once more on top, and an instant later had a scissors hold on Kelly. He held it for q moment. laughed and released the Waterburian.
 A storm of hisses broke out. Those who hissed evidently were like the Roman spectators of the battle in the arena-they wanted no mercy; they wanted action. Parker, sitting beside his man, made a little speech.
 "You wanted head spins,'' he said. "You're getting them. If you want d quick fall I'll give it to you-1'u turn him in a minute.'
 That brought out burst of ap- plause, and Parker went to work again. He kept his word and made it q quick fall. He had Kelly tied up in q moment. his head being held by Parker's legs. while the little giant had an arm hold. and turning his man, who fought gallantly and bridged des- perately. by main strength he put him over his shoulders and then bore him down on both shoulders for q fall. Timer E. A. Thayer gave the time of | the fall as 19 minutes.
 Parker pulled on his bath robe and sal quietly in his chair, chatting with his friends, while Kelly went to his dressing room for a fifteen minutes rest and rub-down. He looked pretty tired. But when the fifteen minutes | were ended he came back smiling and jaunty, ready for more punishment l and resolved to die game.
 | Parker worked easily and allowed | Kelly several chances, but alWayS
 broke away before he was in any dan ger. and laughed to show how easy it all was. When about four minutes
 had elapsed Parker got to work in earnest, and with a half Nelson lie got | his man. turned him. and lying over | him bore him to the mat and held him | there till the referee was abundantly
 satisfied that Kelly was down. Time, | minutes
