that it would be impossible for

excused
'What are his reasons asked his
honor, without raising his eyes
from the paper he was reading.
Gle says he is deaf replied the

Wrestling.
Hatch for $1,000 and the Championship OF
America.

Wrestling contests which OF late years
have not been in vogue are being rsviv'
cd. Ono took place in Brighton, Mass
last week between Homer Lane oil New
York and Larry Dolan of Brighton Tor
$1,000 side and the championship OF
America. About 800 were present COM
posed of sporting men from most oil inc
principal cities in tho United States, who
were on hand eager to witness the match.
The contestants took their positions ana
tho referee stated that the men had 10 wres'
tie square hold" best two in three, lar
back fall. (What constitutes lall Is Tor
two shoulders and one hip or one hip aud
two shoulders to touch the floor at the
same time.) The contestants then iaeed
each other and were introduced to the
audience. All being ready the referee
called "time" and the match commenced.
First Inning. As the men faced each
other intense excitement prevailed
among the spectators. Lanes lett hand
grasped Dolan's right shoulder and his
right rested Oh Dolan's left elbow. Do
lan's right hand grasped Lanes Ieit
shoulder, and his left rested on Lanes
right arm. Dolan wrestled on tho de-
fensive, while Lane moved nimbly on
his pedals, tapping Dolan first on his
right and then on his left leg. Lane went
for an "inside hook" which Dolan neat
ly evaded. Lane quickly changed his
tactics, caught an inside lock on Dolan's
lett leg. which the latter broke. Another
rally ensued and Lane fastened q lock on
Dolan's lett leg. which the latter slipped
and tried to catch "grape vine lock" on
Lane when the latter fell on his lace.
Lane was quickly ON his feet, and with
clock. work movement fastened 'cross-
toe lock- on Dolan. The latter wrig-
gled and twisted to cyade or break
il, but Lane held on, and drawing Dolan
towards him threw him on his back amid
loud shouts and intense enthusiasm. The
referee than announced that Mr.. Lane
had won the first fall. Time thirteen
minutes.
Second Inning. This was sharp. short.
and decisive. The men made good play
for few seconds, when Dolan tried to
get Twist and twitch" lock on Lane.
which the latter evaded, and making n
lightning like spring, caught firm cross
toe lock on Dolan and threw bin heavily
on his back. This decided the match. as
tie referee declared Lane ,he winner OF
tie fail.
The contest lasted eighteen minutes
and Lane won the match, which decided
the $1,000 and the championship OF
America.
Dolan's friends were surprised at their
champions easy defeat, and they los!
heavily. rs speculation has been brisk
for the past three weeks. Lane bore his
honors meekly. and McFynn stated that
hs would match him to wrestle any man
in America, and give twenty-five pounds
weight. tor from $1,000 TO $25O0.

cordance with the natural fitness OF things.
The great city papers are issued from
rapid presses in thousands OF copies
Their daily contents arc gathered by hun
dreds of hards. Their circulation is im'
mense, and income correspondingly large.
They employ force TO supervise every
department, thus sub.dividing the labor
into many classes-news, reportorlal, ma
rine, local, general. commercial, literary
and political-superyised by manager
. whose tact and acuteness are constantly
exerted to prepare just such a journal as
will satisfy the demands of the age
Such paper must be beyond the limits
Of competition by any weekly paper In
these particular spheres.
While in the departments mentioned
the country newspaper cannot hope to
compete, and may wisely retire from the
contest, there is a field where it can win
both influence and fortune. 1t cannot
hope to please its patrons with re-hash
of news from Washington or Europe,
which they A-ad q week before in the city
daily. On the contrary, it will only dis.
gust them by seeing that space occupied,
which could SO much better bo filed with
something else.
What is that something else which is
so appropriate to the country paper? 1t
is local news. 1t should be crammed
with local news. Every nook and corner
in which the paper circulates should be
represented. In this respect the country
newspaper should be represented. Ev-
cry item OF intelligence. every bit OF in
formation. however small, is read and
treasured by its patrons. Their selfes.

aided. The benefit they receive is recip-
rocated on the publisher. Things that
bave been, or will, or ought to be done
in every town and district, however triv-
ial they may appear, should find place.
The aggregate fills up the paper with
matter of much more interest than Sc
lections from any extraneous sources
could be made.
On this question the Boston Record
succinctly states the case as follows:
"Momentous events are so rare in the
country that the people make great ac-
count OF small ones; and paper which
supplies u full and agreeable account OF
these is sure of liberal success. This
record cannot be too full the 'unconsid-
cred rifles that make up the sum of ru-
raj life look large in type, and people

sary to add good judgment must preside
over the work Of gathering items, and
that cars should be taken to avoid scam
dll and gross personalities. These are
points which every editor must adjust for
himself. But they need not hinder him
ia the effort to make his paper not only
welcome, but absolutely necessary TO all
who have an interest in affairs within its
sphere. DEMOsTHgNEs said that the

COulltrN NelUspapers.

With the improvements in the methods
of transmitting information, the dislinc-
ton between the daily and the weekly,
the city and country newspaper. has be-
come more sharply defined. The tele-
graph has made u revolution in many
things, but in none greater than in jour-
nalism.
The weekly paper is now compelled to
seek other means OF making itself attract
i've. Accordingly, those published in The
large cities resort to light literature or are
ol technical character OF the special
advocate OF some branch of culture, pro-
iession or morals. Their contents are
made up Of matter calculated to interest
on other topics than that of news. This
is wise in them, rs competition with the
daily paper, which uses the telegraph to
an unlimited extent, and publishes regu-
larly every morning the happenings OF
the day before in all quarters OF the globe,
is impossible. Accordingly, we find that
the most successful weekly papers are
those which pay not attention whatever
to news, rs such.
Time was when the people were satis'
lied with weekly record Of intelligence.
They are so no longer In those days,
people looked to thoir newspapers as to a
guide on political and commercial affairs.
This field, too, as well rs that of supply.

The change came about gradually, but
it is none the less complete. 1t is in ac-
