The huge amphitheatre, capable OF
seating over five thousand people, is
in the early stages of construction,
and will be ready in plenty of time
for the event. It will be erected in
the enclosure formed by the race

will be the biggest structure of its
kind ever attempted in the city. 1t
will be an octagonal affair, being d.
vided into eight sections completely
surrounding the mat on which the
wrestlers will work, and while it's
seating capacity IS something enor-
nous it will be none too large if the
weather and other conditions are IA
vorable for the occasion.
The ministers and priests of the
county and the surrounding com
munities have b.en issued a special
invitation to be present on this occa-
sion. There is :ot1 ., brutal and
degrading about the wrestling game,
as Is the case with prize fighting, but
on the contrary it is clean athletic
sport and one when all may witness
with propriety. Special arrang ements
are being made for the accommcda
tiOn OF ladies at the match, and II Is
hoped and expected that they will be
present ID hundreds The manage
ment assures all that the best OF ord.
er will be maintained and tat la.
dies will have nothing to fear in be-
ing present. I As for the wrestlers

tanned needs apply only to the sprink-
ling of thoughtless boys which Ia
sometimes present at these gather

for their government.
The match is being held under the
auspices of the Carroll county fair
association. and your attendance is
solicited as means to boosting the
fair and making it the biggest sue.
cess in its career. Reserved seats
are now on sale at Tyndale's drug
store in Carroll. and while they are
going rapidly there are many excel
lent seats left, owing to the FORUM
ate arrangement of the amphitheatre.
Three good preliminaries have been
arranged, the first to start at four
O'Clock sharp. All of the prelimin.
aries will be fol- period OF fifteen
minutes, or one fall, and it, is there.
. by hoped to start the big, match just
about five o'clock iniathe afternoon.
The first of the preliminaries will be
between Tacke Of Breda and Shep-
Eparfl of Carroll, the second between
Meal of Lanesboro and Mccoy of
Carroll, and the third between Stangl
Of Halbur and O'Connor Of Carroll.
While the first two. are expected to
;be fast, the third preliminary will be
watched with great deal OF inter-
est by local fans, as both O'Connor
and Stangl are coming forward rap
idly in the wrestling game and one of
them may yet become contender
for the belt. T.. 81"
Meanwhile. the people of Carroll
and the surrounding communities
are waiting for Friday to come, so
that they may get a glimpse OF the
contender and begin forming their
opinion concerning the outcome of
the match. While Caddock is an Iowa
man and the contender halls from
Wyoming, there is a secret hope in
some quarters that Eklund will carry
off the honors, and strong belief
everywhere that he will give Cad.
dock the best run for his money that
any champion has had in long time.
