 Auditorium is Creating Interest.
 The people of Waterbury like good clean sports of all kinds and they have never failed to patronizei such sports whenever they were assured that. they were on the level and that is the reason that the contests tomorrow evening will attract a big house. When some weeks ago Prof NJ. J. Dwyer made the statement that he would throw John E. Kelly of this. city four times in one hour, or forfeit S50.00, many thought it was a big bluff and that the professor was trying to boom his physical culture class. That it was not bluff is now clearly evident as he has two classes at work and does not have to depend on the wrestling game to boom his work. This wrestling contest was made be- cause the professor learned some time ago that John F. Kelly was anxious to meet him while in Hartford in handf- cap match Dwyer took his time about coming to Waterbury, but when he did get here he at once issued his challenge and deposited his forfeit in the Democrat office Kelly had noth- ing to lose but he had all to gain if lie remained for the hour without. being thrown four times. Kelly barred the double Nelson and the strangle holds. and after some hesitation Dwyer ac- cepted the changes.
 There were some who said that Kel- 1y would not accept the offer under any conditions, but those people were talking through their hats Kelly is q strong young fellow and has had con- siderable experience and science in the wrestling game. He has been up against some of the best wreStlers in the country, notably Harvey Parker, and he has always proven himself a game wrestler. He will prove that again when he faces Dwyer on Thurs day night and while there is not much Kelly money in sight just now there may be plenty of it on the night of the match. If Kelly is thrown the four times in one hour Dwyer will remember that he has been in a wrestling match. There will be no child's play in the affair, and once the men shake hands there will be something doing until a fall is secured. There is not so much difference in the weights of the two l1ACh SllAcIs DNl eI WUi MIGSllG ttE lDC pounds and Kelly will tip the scales at LA pounds. For that reason there are q few who would not be surprised to see Kelly turn the tables on the pro- lessor and secure a fall himself Al any rate there will be hot time for the hour of wrestling.
 The preliminary to this match will also be an interesting one, and it will bring together two young fellows who have been throwing looks at each other for months Roach has been in the game a little longer than Mccarthy and he has always maintained that Me Carthy was afraid to face him on the mat. Since Mccarthy has been under the instruction of Dwyer he has inn proved one hundred percent and his friends in Brooklyn will have a barrel that they desire to open on the night of the contest. On the other hand, Roach's friends say that Mccarthy will have to improve more than one hundred per cent because Roach will prove that Mccarthy is but a novice i'll the game and his shoulders will be put to the mat in short order for two straight falls. It will be a warm tour-. nament and there will be plenty of fun for everybody tomorrow night.
