GO
IS ON TONIGHT
Men In Fittest Trim; Long Match
Anticipated; Frank Is In
Better Shape Today.

Guessing on the outcome of the
Du Cray-Jordan wrestling match to-
night is rife today, and it is hard to
PICK the winner. On form Jordan
should win. When the men met be-
fore Duke was down to 1853 pounds
and was i'll. He lasted the first
bout but little more than an hour
and was easily beaten. The next go
went two and half hours to a draw
with Frank doing all the aggressive
work. The next one was not quite
so long and ended in another defeat
for the local champion.
Du Cray is 100 per cent better
today than he was in the first match
and has lost no strength by making
weight. Jordan on the other hand
is fit as a man could we'll be and is
determined to lose no matches until
he gets try at Yokel. where he
claims to be sure of getting the
worlds title again.
Viewed from any angle the match
Ishould be one of the best ever seen
here and credit should be given the
promoters for their enterprise in
bringing the grapples together
Late this afternoon Chris Jordan
received a letter from his home in
Cleveland, o.. stating that his moth
er died Jordan was broken up over
the news as he had made plans to
visit her within short time He
had not visited her in IA years.
He also received the articles of
agreement to meet Wilfred Barrette,
middleweight of Detroit. whom Yo-
kel has refused to wrestle and who
claims the middleweight champion
ship. Jordan hopes to beat him on
March 21 and then go after Yokel

Demonstration of Whittall Russ by
 Porteous & Mitchell Go.

The Porteous & Mitchell Co. of this city is conducting an unique experi- ment in front of its store on Main street. This store has been appoint ed exclusive distributors for Norwich and vicinity for the celebrated Amer fcan-made Whfttall rugs, the factory being in Worcester, Mass. This is what Is termed the sidewalk test" :" Today they will place on the sidewalk in front of the store a perfectly new Whittall Anglo-Persian wilton rug. Ordinarily a rug is not designed for outdoor service as it's colors are con- sidered perishable. but rain or shine this run will stay out on the side walk over. The reason for this un- usual demonstration is a desire on the part of the makers to prove be- yond question that Whittall rugs are durable under extreme conditions and that the colors are absolutely fast. They hope that 1t will rain so that mud may be tracked upon this rug and ground into 1t. The Anglo-Per- sian grade was chosen because of all the Whittal1 fabrics this Is the most finely woven in the softest colors and yet durability has not been sacrificed for beauty.
 { After the rug has been on the side walk for seven days, during the exist ing weather conditions, whatever they may be, it will be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the window where ev- eryone will be invited to examine it clasely and thus see how well it has withstood such abuse. Then it will be sold to the highest bidder. The bids must be sealed when sent in and anyone may bid for the rug.
