THE WRESTLING MATcH.-Muldoon and
Rigal gave an exhibition of Greco. Roman
wrestling at the Metropolitan Theater last
evening. There was present a very good au-
dience. It was certainly representative
one. If any dame imagines that her "hub-
by" was at the lodge or engaged in pro-
fessionaI vocations last evening, let her disa-
buse herself of that fond belief. But, for the
matter of that, there was no reason why the
dame should not have been present. It was
an athletic exhibition, probably much like
those her predecessors of ancient Greece and
Rome viewed with delight from the stony seats
of the old amphitheaters. Nominally it was
o wrestling match of q series Of three for a
purse. Probably, however, it was an sth-
letic exhibition for division Of the "gste
money Muldoon is a man of massive
build-a modern Hercdles. Rigal is com-
pact but abbreviated body skillful and as
wiry as could be desired but no match for
his Celtic competitor. There were but two
rounds. In both Mudoon won by throwing
his antagonist and forcing both shoulders to
the floor, which constitutes the test of vic.
tory. The men were not allowed to "trip,
but were required TO grasp each other about
the body above the waist, or by the wrists or
arms. Muldoon won the first fall in sixteen
and half minutes, and the second in eight.
at the conclusion of the match F" Muldoon
addressed the audience in very neat and
modest speech, that gave evidence of intelli-
gence of no mean order He offered to wrestle
with any of the auditors, and guaranteed
60 show them how it was DONE and yet to
handle them " like baby" But there were
no citizens present ambitious to show up the
meagerness of their muscle beside the
splendid proportions of the athlete. Then he
gave the spectators little lecture He
claimed that all the chief muscles Of the
body can be trained to do ONES bidding
Hard muscle is not an essential, nor is it
an evidence OF proper training. Nature gives
Us muscular development for use. 1t is cur
duty TO put it TO use. This anyone can do
by practice snd patience. As sn example,
the athlete stood erect, and showed how ct
viii he could move the muscles Of the breast,
and tho abdomen, and those Of the upper and
the forearm, etc. Tnen be bowed himself
out, and the wrestling match was over.
