Brilliant Success.

1t is permitted to few men or CON-
panies to achieve acknowledged superi.
ority in any important position or bust
ness. The present generation has wit
messed s~tuPendous rivalry in several
branches Of industry. and notably the
Sewing Machine business. Amid a
multitude of competitors, steadily and
surely the Wheeler 4 Wilson Company
held their way from the beginning, upon
fixed and honorable principles. Long
since, their leading position in America
was established. Abroad, at London,
In 1862, they Won the highest preni-
I; at Paris, in 1867, they distanced
eighty-t~O competitors, and were award

kitchen.
As my leg was very long it reached q
shelf which was occupied with dishes,
pans, coffee-pots, etc, and turning il
over down it went with a tremendous
crash.
The girls had not vet retired, and ]

The girls put her of as best they

On waking up and looking around I
saw Johns eyes rs big as my fist, while
the sun was beaming in at h window.
What to do now we couldn't tell. for

prayers in the kitchen.
John looked out of thu window and
said We could get down over the porch

Champion Wrestling. Match.

The San Francisco papers give
full accounts of the wrestling-m match
between Mclaughlin, of Detroit, and
Whalen, of California, for $1,000 and
the championship, which was recently
contested in the Golden City in the
presence of an immense and excited
audience. The call says
The rival athletes have met, and Cali
~fornis's champion went down before the
superior prowees Of the man from the
East, or, Us he is facetiously termed,
1.-THE Foreigner"
The agreement set forth that the
match was TO be for 81, 900 a side, collar
and elbow grips, falls best two in three,
the contestants to wear short coats,
light costume, and canvas shoes. The
men were then introduced, and the dis
parity in size became at nce apparent.
Mclaughlin looked q very giant in his
white tights, beneath which the mus
cles played at every movement. Be-
side the gigantic frame of "The For
eigner' "Corduroy's" form seemed al
most like that of a tall, slim boy. The
two men were greeted with terrific
shouts, which we're continued for some
time.
The noise having subsidized, the men
stepped forward, and after the pre-
liminary hand-shaking the grip was
taken, and the struggle commenced at
precisely 9 o'clock. WEalen evidently
perceived the great advantage of weight
possessed by his opponent, and stood
upon the defensive, endeavoring to
draw ont "The Foreigners" tactics.
The latter pressed CORDUROY" with sp-
parently too great display and surplus
movement, making frequent feints that
seemed entirely unnecessary. Whalen
remained perfectly cool, and 1t
seemed as though the contest would
become p~rotracted, when. quick a. .
flash, Mclaughlin lifted Whalen clear
OF tie floor and threw him fair upon his
back ct the rear Of the stage, and then,
without changing his hold, lifted the
fallen Corduroy" upon his feet with
but little effort. The fall Wa from
right 70 left, perfectly clear and fair,
and accomplished in four minutes and q
hall.
At 9:12 O'Clock the men again stood

that Corduroy" seemed determined 70

Mclaughlin drove him clear back to The
