j.p«r united press association..' DUaSedin, November 18. The second contest between D. C Rosa and Harry Duun, for a prize of £50, took place last night, and furnished the most vigorous wrestliug ever witnessed in Dunedin. Dunn won the toss, choosing the American side hold. After 40 minutes he gained a fall. Ross selected •' catch-who-catch-can" wrestling, and this style continued for upwards of an hour, both men being severely distressed. It looked as if it were a question of physical endurance when Ross obtained a leg hold, throwing Duun on his shoulder. In the " collar and elbow" the struggle continued for nearly an hour, when no fall being secured, and it being nearly midnight, it was explained as obviously impossible to bring the match to a conclusion that night. The men decided to commence again next week.
