Notes:
This is the opening day of the tournament which finished on April 24, 1906.
If a wrestler suffers two defeats or goes to the time-limit on three occasions he is eliminated. [Not stated, but it appears two draws and a loss also resulted in elimination]
The entrants were paraded to open the show.
Perrilli disputed the referees decision and the judges agreed with him [If the result was changed though, it is not said.]
