Chance on Friday Night.
 Tomorrow night on the Concordia
 hall stage two young. Wrestlers will l face each other in a catcn-as-catch-c
 wrestling match for the 125-pound
 championship of the world Jack
 Roach of this city and Jack Harvey of Brooklyn IN. I :, will be the contestants, and probably never in the history of
 wrestling have two men ' faced each other with more confidence Each has everything to gain to win, as the purse of $200, which is in the hands of the l sporting editor of the Democrat, and the entire gate receipts, besides the l championship, will go to the winner. l The loser gets nothing. Never have two men trained so faithfully for a match, and professional trainers from l New York and Boston have been in the secret camps of the Wrestlers for the past three days. The hall is small and l it was the wish of both men to wrestle in room for just the $100 side. They were prevailed on to get a small hall l so that their friends could see the match. They would not hire a large hall and all they care about is to cover expenses and let the winner 9take the side bet. There has never been a squarer match pulled off in this city. The friends of each a4e packing their man for all kinds of money and ill all probabability when the boys face each other tomorrow night there will be at least 1000 up on the match. 1here are many going to Thomaston to-mOr- row for the firemen's parade, and they will be in plenty time co see the match when they return at night time, for it will not start until 9 o'clock. The gen eral admission will be 30 cents and re- served seats 75 cents. They. are on sale now by the stakeholder, and if you want a seat you should secure it right away. sf8

Parker had for an opponent Leo PardellO, the Italian champion, who made things in- teresting for John Fleming on Monday night Pardello went on for the covet- ed $50 which Parker offers to anyone he cannot throw inside of fifteen min- utes. Pardello was in fine shape and went at Parker as though there was no love lost between them. Parker tried
 
 Pardello was as. Slippery as an eel. At the time limit Pardello was still up and doing. The decision was in favor of PardelIo. The style was catch-as- catch-can. In the afternoon Parker met local man named Bill Brown un- der catch-as-catch-can rules. Brown came to grief in exactly one minute.
 New York, Sept 10.-There were strenuous times at Miners Bowery lne- ater last night when oohn Piening, the Butcher Boy essayed to throw Duly Edwards of Harlem in fifteen minutes. Edwards had the sympathy of the crowd with him, and every time he was having the better of it the audi ence cheered and urged hlm on. This did not avail him anything, for at the end of the fourteen minutes he was thrown with half Nelson. Edwards thought that the fall was not fair one and wanted another chance, and is to go on again on Friday night. At the matinee aeorge Horlefn of this city met Fleming. It took Fleming six min utes to convince Horlein that he was no match for the champion.
