WRESTLING AT HAIGH PARK.

About three o'clock on Tuesday, the races having con-
cluded, the wrestling was commenced. This game, though
an ancient British sport, has been for many years neglected
in this quarter of the United Kingdom, and the attempt to
revive it here has been welcomed by thousands. There
were no private equipages on the ground, but a number of
sporting gentlemen attended. Two umpires and a referee
having been chosen, the rules for regulating the play were
read. They consisted of seven articles, and were as follow :
1. Each man, on mounting the stage, is to take hold of
the other by the collar, after which they may shift their
hold to any other part of the jacket they please. Any
person catching hold of another below the waistband shall
not be allowed the fall, should he throw his opponent ; and
he will be prevented from playing for the prizes, should he
persist in doing it. Each man is to wear a fair shoe, and
padding, if be chooses.
2. To constitute a double player (that is, those entitled
to play for the prizes), two men must be thrown ; or one
man must be threwn, and two others contended with for
eight minutes each.
3. Two tryers shall be chosen on the ground—one of
Yorkshire, and one of Devonshire ; and they two shall
choose a third person as a referee in disputed points, and
his decision shah be conclusive.
4. No two meu from one county shall be matched
against each other whilst a man from any other county
remains a standard.

5. The last man throwing his hat on the stage shall be
entitled to keep the stage, and shall wait for an opponent
there five minutes ; and if no person shall appear to oppose
him during that time, he shall be at liberty to withdraw
and return again at pleasure.
6. Every double player shall receive one sovereign,
except those who win prizes.
7. The prizes to be awarded are as follow :—To the best
man, 50/. ; to the second ditto, 20/. ; to the third ditto,
15/. ; to the fourth ditto, 101. ; to the fifth ditto, 7!. ; to
the sixth ditto, Si.
Pyle, a Devonshire man, first threw his hat into the
ring, and his example was followed by Butler, a Notting-
hamshire man. The latter showed himself to be a strong
and an active man, and withstood all the efforts of Pyle for
the limited time (eight minutes). Me was then opposed
by Burnett, another Devonshire man, and was equally suc-
cessful in resisting him ; after which he withdrew ; but
Le must on Wednesday throw one man to entitle him to
play for the prises on Thursday.
Several other matches followed ; but as most of them
