 Prof M. J. Dwyer was around prlghI and early this morning and he had just a few words to say about John F. Aei- Tvs statement in last nights Demo crat. He was surprised to think thaS after such an offer was made to him that Kelly would stipulate about cer- tain holds that should be eliminated from the match. Still he does not care to take any too much advantage. or Kelly, as he is a lighter man. and ne will consent to dropping out the stran- gle hold. He will not, however, con- sent to drop the double Nelson, and he is surprised again to think that Kelly should ask for it. Prof Dwyer does not care to have much talk over the aINHdH tlAu~ lo 0A-,p all wrestling talk unless Kelly accepts at once. In order to show that he means business and that he can throw Kelly four times in one hour, he de- posited this morning with the Demo crat sporting editor S25 as forfeit. The balance of the $50 will go up when Kelly accepts the offer. He will make a further inducement to Kelly. If the latter wins one fall during the hour the match will end right there and he will get his $50. As it stands now the offer is that Prof Dwyer agrees to throw Kelly four times in one hours with only the strangle hold barred, and if Kelly gets one fall in the hour he wins the $50. and if he is not thrown four times in the hour Kelly gets the $50. Prof Dwyer says he wants no more talk or controversy over the matter unless the above propo- sition is accepted.
 Wrestling with all it's objectionable, features had an exciting inning at Miners Bowery theater last night. Leo Pardello, the Italian champion, and George Bothner, instructor of the Knickerbocker A. O., figured in q lively bout of fifteen minutes under catch as-catch-can rules. The fact that Par dello undertook to throw Bothner in the above time drew a crowd which packed the theater to the doors. Both ner not only stayed, but put up an ex- hibition which stamped him as an ex- ceptionally clever wrestler. Al Wat son was referee and he had lot of trouble lodging the contestants, who fioundered all over the stage. For the first i've minutes Pardella was unable to get BOthner down. When he did so he could not move him around. BOthner's quickness in getting away from PardelIo's grasp angered the Itai- ian and at the eleventh minute he be gan to rough it.
 He made a mad rush at Bothner and jostled him toward the scenery and to the back of the stage. Tn one of his rushes Pardello landed a left jolt or BOthner's head and the Knickerbocker lad retaliated in kind. Great excite ment prevailed and at this juncture it seemed as if the affair would revert into a slugging match. Once Bothner got q firm neck hold on Pardello and the referee construed it as a Strangle hold and forced BOthner to let go. At the finish BOthner was in better shape than Pardello, who was putting. As BOthner stayed, the referee had no other alternative but to declare him the winner. BOthner got S25 for his work. Previous to this bout Charlie Lode and Frank Idone wrestled ten minute draw, catch-aS-catch-can style. Carl Schmidt was the referee.
 A fair sized crowd witnessed some lively wrestling bouts at Manhattan Lyceum. 66 and 6S East Fourth street, last night. The stellar event was be- tween Charles Beck of Brooklyn and Jack Quinn of Cleveland. The condl. tiOnS were catch-aS-catch-can. Beck threw his rival twice in succession. The first fall was made in minutes and 8 seconds and the next in min utes and 45 seconds. There were three preliminary bouts. Joe Hennessy and Harry Sanderson first came together. HennesSy threw his man twice, once in minutes and once ill 10 minutes. The style was catch-as-catch-can. Gus Laroe and Harry Harris followed in Graeco-ROman bout. Laroe downed Harris with ease, each fall being made in 4 minutes exactly The final pre- liminary was exciting, although the principals, "Pug" Wilson and Kid Fo- ley, did not know very much about the game. Wilson was the winner.
 The charge having been made that Ernest Roeber was afraid to meet Nachad, the latest Turkish wrestler to arrive, the German athlete says: "When Nouroulah failed to down me in the time specified, although he had 150 pounds the best of it in weight, I said he would be the last Turk would wrestle. The newest arrival, Nachad, comes heralded with big reputation, and calls me a coward. I am not a coward as the American public know. but have met and defeated every Turk at Graeco-Roman wrestling that came to this country. I am now attending to my cafe on Sixth avenue and mak- ing money, and do not see why should wrestle every noble young Turk that comes to this country. But to show Nachad I am not afraid of him will bet him $500 he does not down me twice in one hour and half at Graeco- Roman style of wrestling. If he fails I win. Here is chance for this wealthy Turk to show how good he is. If accepted, this will be the last match that will engage in."
