Park: w York, owner of Major Delmar, $20,000 for the great gelding, but Mr. Parks declined the offer. Fifty thou- sand dollars is about the price placed on the second fastest trotter In the world.

Ofunroe's opponent was Harvey Parker, a light-weight, and for an hour Parker simply toyed with the big man from the mines. The conditions of the match were catch-as-catch-can, and Munroe's con- tract called for him to throw Parker twice in an hour. Instead, Parker won the Grst fall with a hammer-lock in twenty-nine minutes. In the second bout Munroe was severely punished every second of the time, and his shoul- ders were within a half-inch of the floor when time was called, Before the men entered the ring there was @ long delay, as Munroe insisted upon seeing the color of the money be- fore he went on. In wel@ht Munroe had fifty pounds the advantage of Parker, but the latter had the science, and with the exception of the first flye minutes Munroe was on the defensive. Hig great strength enabled ‘him to break many dangerous holds, but as fast as he could wriggle out of one he was locked in another. At no time during the contest was Parkerdn danger of being thrown.
