WRESTLING AT GISBORNE.
Per Press Association. GISBORNE, Aug. 19. The match between Tom Alley anrl Sam Burmister was interesting while it lasted, but it ended disappointingly. Toward the end of the second round Alley gained a fall with a crucifix and Burmister evened up with a fall in the fourth round by means of a body press. Early in the fifth roupd Burmister carried his opponent and dumped him over the ropes and -was warned. Immediately afterwards, however, he repeated the performance and was disqualified. Alley appeared anxious to resume, but was prevented by an injury to a shin.
