 It will be interesting to the lovers of wrestling in this city who have never seen the Cornish style. to attend the match next Thursday night at the Auditorium. This style is similar in many respects to collar and elbow, but in the Cornish canvas jackets are used and in some other respects the style is q little different. It is one of the most scientific methods and is used more in the copper countries in the west than in any place else. It was in that country that M. J. Dwyer first learn ed the rudiments of wrestling, and it was there that he won the champion ship for the Cornish style of wrestling
 Frank Gehle is also a western man and he is versed in all the styles chos- en. He says that he weighs about 1S5 pounds and on the night of the match will wrestle at about ITO. This will give him at least 10 pounds ad- vantage over Dwyer. He is also much
 taller than the professor. Gehle looks to be giant in the neck and shoul- ders, and on the night that the articles wye signed he was asked by Dwyer what his neck measured. He replied that he never had measured it and did not know One of Gehle's ears has also seen some pretty hard usage and he was asked about that by Dwyer, and his reply to this was that he had received that playing baseball. DWy- CT answered abck that he must have turned his back to the ball to secure such an ear, and Gehle replied that there would be no turning of backs on Thursday night unless it was Dwyers $ when it was going to the mat.
 Such were the compliments that were passing between the two as the articles were being drawn up. Gehle admits now that he was sent from the west to catch Dwyer, and that Harvey Parker was instrumental in sending him on here. He would have pre- ferred, however, to have caught Dwy- CT in a straight match either Graeco- Roman or catch-as-catch-can. He laughs at the idea of Dwyer being champion at the Cornish style of wreS- ting and says that he will prove to him that if the match was made straight Cornish that he is Dwyer's master. Dwyer in the meantime is putting in some steady practice and he will be ready, as he always has been, when time is called on Thursday night He says if he is beaten it will be his first real defeat in this city, and he knows he is up against q good man although there is some mystery connected with him. He says also that his friends will not be ashamed of his work when the night arrives.
 A lot of interest is being taken in the international match between Tom Jen- kins of Cleveland and Jim Parr of England. which is slated to be held at Buffalo tonight. Parr is the champion of his class in England. The style of the match is catch-as-catch-can, best two out of three falls to score.
 George Bothner has trained in a novel manner for his match with Charley Leonhardt of Newark at Maennerchor hall, POS East Fifty sixth street, tonight. At the Knick- erbocker A. c. Bothner wrestles with from fifteen to twenty men every day. Every morning Bothner takes a swim in the East river and after his dip he receives a rub down. He says that this is great tonic. Leonhardt will undertake to throw Bothner twice in one hour at catch-as-catch-can style.
 Jack Carkeek, who has done some excellent work in England, says that he will visit America next June. Car keek writes: My engagements at the music halls will be at an end next June and I will positively be at leisure then to do as like. have planned to return to the United States, as I am desirous of visiting my folks in Wis consin. When I reach America I will consider any reasonable proposal for a match. In the meantime the offer of $50 to anybody whom I fail to throw in fifteen minutes is still open and if either Jenkins. Parker or any of the others wants a chance I will grant it to him, if they come to England.''

 Wonders will never cease! Another Terrible Turk" has been discovered 1n the West This time the Oriental wrestler's name is Wouradoulah. and up to Saturday he was heralded as world beater. In his training it was said that Wouradoulah consumed if teen pounds of steak each day. six gal Ions of water, fifteen boxes of cigar cites and uprooted dozen telegranh poles just to strengthen his grip. But when he ran up against a plain. orfIi- nary everyday wrestler named Farm CT Burns in Omaha last Saturday night the Turk looked as if he had been training on egg shells and milk. Wouradoulah agreed to throw Burns inside of fifteen minutes. Burns siren uously objected, with the result that he rolled the Turk around the ring and Wrenched his neck until the Oriental l. 1-~T-l
