WRESTLING
Sport is Getting a Great Revival in Waterbury and Good Matches
 Are Coming.

Another wrestling match has been arranged that has all the earmarks of being corkcr. Manager Bill Davis, representing Harry Shackley of Waterville and Manager II. W. Curtiss representing an Unknown met in the Democrat office last even- ing and completed all the arrange ments for match between their two boys. The money was posted and the articles of agreement as given be- low were signed. It looks to be a pretty good match, because one Of the wrestlers is known only to hls manager and Is taking on the other man at a big handicap in weight. Both were so confident last evening that each would have the victor on the mat on the night of the match, that it is more than likely much money will change hands on the re- suit. The following are the articles of agreement:

BICYCLE RIDERS
 AHEAD OF RECORD
Furious Pedaling and Acci-
 dents In Six Day Race.
BEDELL AND LOGAN HURT


 Has Ever Been Done Before-Four
 Other Teams Within Lap of the
 Leaders-Moran Makes a Sensational
 Sprint of Twenty seven Minutes.
 New York, Dec. S.-Furious riding, which resulted in the esta blishment of new records and two serious accidents, ma rk ed the first twenty four hours of the six day bicycle race at Madison Scuare Garden.
 From the start the contest was a succession of sprints for mile after mile until the riders are far ahead of the old records
 Two teams dropped out of the con test because of accidents. Menus Be dell was caught in a pocket and be- fore he could extricate himself one of the contestants came up from behind and, catching his pedal, sent the rider sprawing on the track. He was car ried to his dressing room, where 1t was found he had broken his right shoul- der bone He was taken to the Poly clinic hospital
 Two hours later Patrick Logan dur ing a desperate mixup was thrown heavily. He was carried off uncon- sclous, bleeding from the head and mouth, and was also removed to the hospital, where his case was pro- nounced serious.
 The Italian French team, Brocco and L.abrousse, retired from the race to- day. This leaves twelve teams in the race.
 Eight teams were tied for the lead, with four other teams one lap behind and two others far ip the rear. Eddie Ruprecht and Matt Downey, the team mates of the diSa bed riders. were off, cially declared out of the race, being unable to secure riding partners.
 The score at the end of the twenty sixth hour was as follows:
 Rutt and Stol. Fogler and Lawson, Moran and Mcfarland, Palmer and Walker. Dupre and Georget, Vanoni and Anderson, Mitten and Collins, Hill and Demara, 552 miles 4 laps,
 Walthour and Root, Wiley and Gal win, Devonovitch and Drobach and Faber and La Fourcade, 552 miles 3 laps.
 Former record, 547 miles laps.
 Throughout the day excitement was at the fever point. Applause rang out continuously, and all attempts at any thing faster than the average speed had the crowd on it's feet.
 If Walthour or Root went at it in an attempt 10 make up their lost lap the rooters encouraged them on with fran. tic wells But the encouragement avail cd little, for Rutt or his partner. Stol, always on the lookout for lap gathers, were at their rear tires in tiffy.
 The most sensational sprint came when Moran began determined effort to steal lap. For twenty y-seven min utes he flew around the track at the speed of an express train. Before he slowed up he had lapped one of the riders twelve times, another seven and four of the other contestants lap each
