Athletic Events.
The first thing on the programme fol
the afternoon was good wrestling
match between Bill Collins of Central
Village and Abe the News1ooy of New
London 1t was the best two out of
three falls to a finish and the only
hold barred was the strange. l.. n
,Dondero was the referee.
Right off the reel Collins forced the
match and got his heavy and sluggish
opponent into some very bad holes
from which he eXtricated himself with
brute strength only. The first fall was
/ obtained by Collins after twenty min
utes of very strenuous work in a strug-
gle on a head scissors and ar7nlock.
The crowd enjoyed the match.
The second fall was similar to the
first but if anything the contestants
worked even harder than ever and
gave ar excela emit exhibition. The sec
ond and final fall went to Collins in
fourteen minutes on a bar and ham,
merlock hold thus giving Collins the
match ana purse amid good round of
applause.
The Races.
The horse racing was a bit more in
/ teresting in some respects than We'd
nesday and fairly well contested, al
though the first heat of the second race
a very raw start and two of the horses
given a rather rank show. The first
attempt at scoring for this race was
! almost an even thing for all six horses
+ responding and would have been by
far more fair than any of the others.
The 2.13 trot or pace was the first
race called and out of a field of eleven
entries but four horses, Kid Wilkes,
Paukapaug, Gawking Boy and Lizzie
Simms responded 10 the call. The first
| heat was pretty close between Kid
Wilkes and Paukapaug. the former
winning the heat, with the latter sec
ond, Gawking Boy third and Lizzie
| Simms fourth. Kid Wilkes took the
two succeeding heats with Lizzie
Simms second in both and Pauka paug
and Gawking Boy third and fourth re-
spectively The time for the three
heats was 2.17 IA, three straight. The
money was divided the way the horses
| finished in the final heat.
For the second race. the 2.35 trot or
pace. stake, six horses competed out
of an entry list of thirteen. The first
heat was exceedingly close and many
of the spectators are of the opinion
| that d F. Whittaker's AIcycle, who
was declared second, won the first heat
over Molly J. by a couple of noses
and this being the case the race might
have resulted quite differently.
The horses starting in this race were
Alcycle. Oliver Direct, Friend Direct
Molly J., Linda Lee and George Dew
ey. Molly ]. won in straight heats
with AIcycle second in the first and
second heats and fourth in the third
Oliver Direct, fifth in the first and
third in the other two; Linda Lee
third in the first and sixth and sec
ond in the second and third respec-
/ lively: George Dewey fourth in the
first. fifth in the second and sixth
in the third heat. The money was di-
vi6ed as follows: Molly J., first: AL
| cycle second. Linda Lee third, and Oil
