London, May 29.-A characteristic superstition among the peasantry of Connemara is being connected by the credulous with the mishaps of the challenger for the Americas cup.

One of the best wrestling matches ever held in New Jersey was wit messed by 1000 persons at the Audi torium in Newark last night. The principals were Harvey Parker, the little demon,'' lightweight champion of Brockton, and Prof NJ. J. Dwyer, a heavyweight of Grand Rapids. Owing to Dwyer having disposed of Leo Par dello, Dennis Gallagher, and being vic torious over Parker, the betting was even. The conditions were the best two falls out of three at catch-as-catch- can. The men came together at 9:22 o'clock, and for one hour the Brockton man had his man down, but was un- able to roll him over on his back.

UPHELD HIS REPUTATIoN.

Dave Sullivan, who caused the row at the Marvin Hart-Dan Creedon fight in Louisville a few days. ago, has a reputation for getting into altercations at affairs of this kind. In the fight the other night he insisted upon douching Creedon with water when. the latter was about to be knocked out. This angered one of Hart's sec onds, and before the Celt knew what happened he collided F with a right swing that made him wobble. Then followed the free fight that will cause a cessation of boxing in Louisville for some time. Dave Sullivan, while act ing as second for his brother in New York two years ago, also got into an altercation, but he made the mistake of kicking a policeman. The latter was not a ring artist, but had won medals for club swinging as. Sullivan admitted after examining his anatomy the next day.
