the St. Charles Theatre, was q wrestling
match between two men called Greco
Roman wrestlers. The men were stripes
| to the waist, and the object Of each was t
nut the other on his back. They were well
shaped and muscular men, and tugged q
each other in all positions, struggling sid
by side, on hands and knees, or rolling
about on the floor testing strength like ia
human cattle. This pastime may hav
| amused the rude Greeks and Romans il
| DAYS when battles were won by strength
but it is scarcely enticing now. 1t is n

art of self.defense." It develops the mus
cles of men; yes, so would saving wood; AMI
| in that occupation strength would find
better utility.
