He will Give the Naugatuck wrestler

a Chance At His Own Terms.
 John D. Kelly would like to get on just one more match before he re- tires from the wrestling field. He has now secured good position in the Scovill factory and he expects to stick to it and give up the wrestling game. He wants to leave the field with a clean record and with the Knowledge that he was not afraid to tackle the best men in the business. He looked for Bothner first. but owing to the conditions demanded by each side that match fell through. He then went af- ter the Swede Swanson. for he had heard that the former New Britain wrestler was not satisfied that Kelly was a better man than himself. He even agreed to wrestle in the Swede's own style. He received no answer from that quarter and now he Is out after Mayser again and he makes the following proposition. He will wrestle Mayser in this city and will agree to let Mayser weigh ton if he wishes. He will wrestle him the mixed style of wrestling. Catch-as-catch-can and Graeco- Roman. He will wrestle him for $50 side and will meet at any time and arrange terms. After the last match Mayser claimed that he was not in condition and that he was weak because he had to train down too fine to get to weight. He said, or is alleged to have saidy that Kelly could not throw him at catch weights. Kelly said this morning that he was willing to concede him every thing now to get on a match. He says there is not money enough in the wrestling game to make living at 1t and he will retire after he has proven to his friends in this city that he is as capa- ble a wrestler as he alleges himself to he.
 Next Tuesday night William Watson will make the effort to throw Reagan, Butler and Burbank three times in an number of falls, or take two falls from Watson, he loses; and ''the Harvey Parker stable' think they can just about settle the bigger fellow. It is said by a friend of Roeber Reagan's that the latter is so confident of the outcome that he thinks the other two of the trinity needn't go on at all; he'll finish Watson alone. As for Butler, he's going in to work offensive tac- tics, 'tis said, in the effort to turn Wat son ands Burbank is sitting up nights thinking of tricks. 1t will be q great event.
