 It may be a fact that Professor M. J. Dwyer will have another wrestling match in this city before he leaves, the state of Connecticut Letters have been sent to, Farmer Burns, who challenged him the other night, and also to Tom Jenkins, who was matched with Dwyer in place of Wittmer, but who decided to take a rest for awhile. Dwyer would prefer Jenkins, for he is the acknowledged champion catch as catch can wrestler of the world. Jenkins must handicap Dwyer three falls in one hour in order to make the match. If he cannot get Jenkins he will try to arrange it so that Farmer Burns will wrestle catch as catch can and Cornish style. Burns is a Cornish wrestler and such a match would be interesting.

There is no record of a man named Parr being cham pion English wrestler He is credit ed with having thrown Bulldog Clay ton on a certain date in England, but there are any in this country who believe that Parr is no other than Bulldog Clayton himself. If he Is he will make it interesting for Jenkins when they meet.

 George V. Tuohey, manager of Char lie Wittmer of Cincinnati. says Witt mer will be in New York ready to make a match with John Fleming under Graeco-Roman rules, to a finish, with. all holds allowed, for whatever side bet Fleming cares to make, and Witt mer further guarantees a good sized purse if the contest is decided at Cin- cinnati.
