 The afternoon attractions began shortly after l o'clock with the wfes- tling bout between Jack McGrath of Worcester, formerly of Norwich, and George Sundakeff, the Russian Bear. The men were fit and went at their work with much display of energy and were soon perspiring prefusely ia the hot sun Sundakeff took the offensive at the word and a number of times it looked as if he had the Irish Giant in hole, but McGrath after 15 1-2 mix utes slipped over a head scissors and an arnlock and brought the Russian to the floor. Sundakoff tired rapidly ip the second go and McGrath pinned him on a barhold in 13 minutes and 20 seconds. In this part of the match McGrath got off the mat, backed to the edge of the platform, lost his bal ance and had to jump off into the track. But he clanbered back on to the stage and went at his opponent more vigorously than ever. The fine points of wrestling that were shown were appreciated by large crowd and there was 1nuch applause.
