 The referee for the match between Prof Dwyer of this city and Frank Gehle of Chicago will be selected to- morrow. At the present writing it IS impossible to say who will act in that capacity. Neither man has signified that he has a choice, and each wants man who will give him fair deal on the mat. In all probability there will not be much dispute on this point, for each man has been consulting with the other and each has also consulted with friends and it is possible that they are ready to-day to name their man.
 As the night approaches for the match the interest is becoming more manifest, for it is now generally be- lieved that Dwyer has undertaken one of the biggest tasks he has yet run up against. Gehle brought along with him his own money and he has a bunch of it that would make banker enyious. He dropped quietly into the city without any announcement and at once stated his business. To show how eager he was to clinch match he did not hesitate minute when Dwyer stated the terms on which he would meet the Herman Hercules 7 The only point that he did object to was the one in which Dwyer wanted ~ ich cfx 10 h tried. This point was finally settled by each agreeing to let the referee toss coin for first choice. Gehle has been photographed since coming to the city and his pictures show wonderful de velopment. At the Brooklyn Athletic club, where he is practicing daily, he has made many friends, and his work on the mat has given the boys in that end of the city the impression that Dwyer has met his match. Gehle pos sesses the same characteristic as Dwyer in the chest expansion. He has that feature down to perfection and can break holds just as easy as can Dwyer. He is as well developed in the chest and possibly surpasses Dwyer in the strength of the neck and shoulders. Dwyer has the advantage of Gehle in the legs, and that is where Dwyer will have the chance to win the Cornish style and have good lighting chance in the catch-as-catch- can style. Gehle is full of confidence that he has the match cinched and proposes to prove to Dwyer that he is his master at any style.
 Dwyer says he did not enter this contest with his eyes closed. He be- Ieves that he knows Gehle, and he thinks he is the same chap who met Rooney, the Chicago "gripman." He is just as confident that he will be de- clared the winner of this match as he was of the others in which he has par ticipated. There will be but a differ ence of ten pounds between the two. and DWyer says there are but few men in this country he cannot throw at that weight in the Cornish and catch as-catch-can style of wrestling. He will make it fight from the first 10 the last and he believes that Gehle will be sent back west defeated man.
 lie may take q hand at the Graeco Roman game himself, too. and if Gehle will not weigh over 165 pounds as he says, then the western man has no advantage over him at that style. He will be there at the finish and he says he will be on top too.
 The preliminary will be a warm ar gunent between Jack Harvey of New Haven, better known as the Brooklyn strong boy" and Danny Mccarthy of the Brooklyn Athletic club. It will be two Brooklyn strong boys" for the Waterbury lad has some strength. and he has just as much science as has Harvey This should be a corking good bout. Harvey will probably weigh about 125 pounds. Tickets went on sale to-day at Harrington's cigar store, ana 1t is expected that there will De record-breaking attendance.
 Herman Wolf, the ex-champion am aleuf wrestler, has again assumed the management III of Harvey Parker. MT Wolf will back Parker to wrestle any man Tn the world under 150 pounds.

The second bout was catch-as-catch-can, which Lundin won ln two and half minutes. This gave him the choice of the next and decid- ing bout, and he made it catch-as- catch-can, and in four minutes he had ms man pinned to the mat.
