The Contest of the Two Giants, Perrie and Atlas To-morrow.

Both Men in the Pink of Condition
 More Than One Hundred Sports are
 Coming Up from Bridgeport7T Betting on the Match is Even and Will Be To-morrow-Prof Dwyer Is
 Preparing Himself for the Un-
 known.
 At the Jacques Auditorium to-mor- row afternoon will take place the much talked of match between Gideon Perrle of Boston and Prof Atlas of Bridge port Each man has trained faithfully for the game and each has an equal number of admirers. There are some people in this city who dislike to see anyone promote good, clean sports un- less they can get finger in the pie.
 Some of these people may be connect ed with sports themselves and for that
 reason for the past few days they. have been throwing out insinuatiOns about the former matches in this city and about the one tomorrow. To all those people the principals say come down tomorrow afternoon and bring along some of the money that you have been boasting about and you will find ready takers for any amount. To roast one sport in order to boom an- other is not good policy and may act as boomerang. Prof Dwyer expects 1 to remain i'll Waterbury for some
 weeks yet and he may say few things to some of the knockers o-lnor- TOW, and if they are possessed of the | long green and are willing to wager It they will be accommodated. There will be something doing down at the contests tomorrow afternoon besides the wrestling and perhaps few of
 the people who know it. all will be ready to back up some of the state ments that they have been making for the past few days.
 r However, let us talk of the matches 1 tomorrow, for the best people in this city and people who have patroniZed sports for years have purchased tick
 cts for that match tomorrow, and ! there promises now to be as big q I crowd present as there was ats the Parker and Dwyer match. The prices l of admission alone are enticiig, for you can get seat for 9, 50 or 70 iicents. The two principals who Will i face each other In the mixed style of wrestling are two of the biggest men in the wrestling arena and each has beaten the best men i'll this country. Atlas to win must throw Perrie in the Graeco-Roman style and in quick time. It is almost conceded that he will win the Graeco-Roman style, but Perrie does not concede him that fall by any means. If he does win it will be after bitter struggle, and Perrie belieN es | @l 4oIl .,t1if 1ratsi in hn cateh-as-catch-c style. Whoever is the luckiest in the toss of the coin will have the choice of the first style, and on that will depend in a great measure the result of the match. 1t will be a battle royal and lovers of good wrest- ling will see one of the greatest fights that was ever put up between two giants.
 In the preliminary it is whispered Dwyer will meet his master. Atlas had more in view when he made the match with Perrie than the mere purse of $200. He is said to have inyeigled Dwyer into the agreement to meet his unknown and then to have sent for q man who can defeat the best men in the country. Dwyer does not fear him whoever he is, and if ringer is put against him he vel demonstrate that he is not afraid of any man in this country. That preliminary should be q better match even than the big af- fair, and everyone is anxious to see the wonder that Atlas will bring from Bridgeport. Dwyer will wager any. part of $500 that he will defeat him if he is not Tom Jenkins, and if he is not a professional he will throw him twice in thirty minutes. This will probably be the best wrestling tournament that has ever taken place in this city, and the matches will start at 3:30 In the afternoon.
 An attempt will be made by Parson
 Davies to revive the wrestling game
 at New Orleans this winter, Davies Is now on his way to this country
 from Europe. He will. try to bring together Harvey Parker and Professor iSehoenfeldt. Schoenfeldt has entire
 ly recovered from his recent illness and
 is now in good shape.
 George Bothner, the lightweight crack, says: During the past two
 months number. of aspiring wrestlers
 have challenged me and have done ev-.
 erything to convince the public that lueg AcduL DuslneSS, Dul so 1dfss uOl one has posted a forfeit or otherwise showed me that he was in earnest. Max Luttbeg, through his manager, Fred Burns, has challenged me often of late, but thus far he has not put up
 any forfeit. If he does this and will
 come to my weight there is no reason
 why We should not come together"
