THE SPORTING NEWS.
WRESTLING
THE BEST EVER
That Was the Comment of the Sporting Public When Kelly
 and Kehoe Were Matched.

Enthusiasm was rampant OF '.the hill" over in Brooklyn and out east last night when the announcement was made in the Democrat that John F. Kelly and Kid Kehoe were matched to meet down ill the Simonsville Athletic club rooms on February 22. That's the match for me- was the expression heard from every enthusiast on good wrestling. There is no bluff about the betting that Will be done on that match, either. Last night the sporting writer was instructed to make q bet of S100 on John F. Kelly. This amount will not be bet in piecemeai. but will be put np in bulk. Any of the packers of Kid Kehoe who want the money can find out where the bet can be made by applying to the writer. .It is the real goods, too, and not con federate bills. Kelly is training as he never trained before. He is more en- thusiastic over this match than he was over his first meeting with Henry heating years ago. He expects to realize his ambition to once more lay claim to the championship title. He will have to face welterweights now, however, and if he defeats Kehoe he will be matched to meet the best man in the country.
 kehOe is working out in great shape. He says that Kelly will remember that he has been in a real wrestling match before he gets through with him. Every dollar of Kelly money will be covered. so kehoe and his friends say. and that S10O offered today will be covered before night. He will give Kelly about eight pounds in weight, but at that he says he will surely beat him. There is no man in the country to-day of his weight who can put his shoulders down and he will demon strate that fact very thoroughly when he gets after Kelly. There is q report that Kehoe threw Jack Roach three falls very quickly while he was train ing for his match with Kelly q couple of weeks ago. If this is true t will, make Kellys task hard one. The local boy has heard that report, but it does not phase him a little bit. He will be there and on top. so he says when the bell rings for the ending of the mill.

MADDEN AND. O,CoNNELL.

w. r. Madden of South Manchester and Edward O'Connell of New Haven have agreed to accept the offer of Dennis J. Lucey of the Nonpareil Ath- letic club to pull off their wrestling match in the auditorium in New Brit. ain. The wrestlers were to meet in Mir Lucey's office last night. c. $. Me Hale. Madden's manager, was there, but o'Connell did not appear. Mir Hayes, his representative, had prev iously seen Mir Lacey and said that the clubs terms were acceptable to him. The club will give the wrestlers fifty per cent. of the gross receipts and the winner of the match will take this. The club is to name the referee. No agreement bas been made upon the time. O'Connell was willing to have the match oD the 14tb of this month but Mir McHale said last night that he would hold out for the limit of time so that his man could get all the strength he could. But for his recent illness. he said. he would be ready at any time but Dow he wants all the time he can get.

expensive to support, Assessor Hopewell
II Darnellle has addressed an open
letter 10 the District Commissioners de-
Tending the present system Of tax as

record with you, and if, in your discre-
ton, it is deemed wise to forward the
same to Congress for information and

THE assessors office has been cora

the number OF employees therein, The
