CORNISH WRESTLING.



Good style.
There was some delay in starting the
wrestling tournament at the Rink yester-
day, and the first match was not made
until 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The sport
was not fully started, but will be in full
blast to-day from 10 o'clock A. NJ, and will
be kept up without stop until 7:30 O'Clock
this evening. The wrestling yesterday,
though not generally engaged in by the
best man, was spirited and enjoyed hugely
by quite q crowd. There was failure yester-
day to complete the first round, owing to
the fact that some OF. the best wrestlers who
had entered the list could not be present as
they were on shift in the mines and
could not have but one days leave OF
absence, which they have reserved for to-
day. All who attend to-day will see the
cream Of the tournament and be treated
to q fine display Of science. 1t is expect
ed that the Union Guard Band will be in
attendance and add to the spirit OF the
occasion by their splendid music. The
Judges appointed yesterday and who will
act to-day also are William uren, Joseph

to match tho wrestlers and arrange

A False Impression Prevailing In
she East Corrected.
In the New York Mining Record Of the
30th ultimo we find the following article:
PHILADELPHIA, June 20, 1851 have
recently heard that the Albion mine is on
the point Of being sold by the Sheriff.
II this is really the case, does not then
the collection OF an assessment Of 80 cents
as late as last April amount TO almost q
swindling operation, and 10 there no re-
dress against it. ALBION STocKHoLDER.
We agree with Stakeholder as to the
aspect Of this matter, and indeed we think
the stockholders here in the East would
make . good investment to subscribe the
proper funds to probe the Robinson man.
agement Of this property to the bottom. 1t
would be done in England and . strict
accountability exacted.
1t is proper that the facts in the case
should be accurately stated. They are
these:
AT the time the last assessment was
levied Selby & Co., smelling and lead
company, the principal creditors Of the
Albion Company, agreed to advance SUM-
cient funds to pay off the miners and labor
ers, who held liens against the mine to
the amount Of $45. 600, which they did
advance in cash. They were also willing
to postpone the payment Of their own
claim, amounting to S120. 900, a. we'll az
that Of Prescott, Scott & Co., foundrymen,
amounting to 500, 900 more, in order TO
give the mine q chance to work itself out
Of its financial embarrassment by allowing
it to run and to be developed. 1t was
then considered by the Trustees Of the
Albion that il an assessment Of so cents
per share, amounting to 5000. could be
collected 1t would put the mine in such q
financial condition as to relieve ii Of its
pressing necessities. and enable it to carry
on the work Of development. 1t was
with this view that the 50-cent assessment
was levied. The stockholders, however,
refused to pay the assessment, which
brought into the treasury Of the company
112, 900 shares of the delinquent stock.
But neither the Trustees of the Albion nor
the creditors are responsible for that. 1t
is true that the mine has been advertised
for sale for q claim of 81, 800 by a party
holding an execution, but this claim was
settled on the LIST Of July, and the execu-
ton withdrawn. There is no expectation
here that the mine will be sold at all, but
we rave it from the best authority that it
will not only not be sold, but that it is the
intention Of the present management
to push the Developments Of the mine with
the utmost vigor, and that it is not an ex-
aggeration to assert that the Albion mine
will probably be entirely out OF debt with
in the course OF the present year. 1t may
be safely predicted also that within a few
months the condition Of the mine itself
will be better than ever before.

EMhCA0 SVhs hnIDSCOahUDos
The New York Daily Stock Report con-
tains the following remarkable article:
The Eureka papers say that the Eureka
Con. Ia some $70,0 DOG in debt, and will
therefore be obliged to assess again imme-
diately after the coming assessment sale,
July 16. 1t is not unlikely though that
people who buy and hold on to the stock
at present prices will make an excellent
Investment.
We are not aware that any Eureka paper
has made any such statement with regard
TO the finances OF the Eureka Con-; the
SENTINEL certainly has never made any
such statement. A representative Of this
paper took the above extract from the Re-
port over to Mr.. Read, Superintendent OF
the Eureka Cor. mine, and asked him what
the indebtedness Of the company is. He
said it does not come within the sphere Of
his duties to know anything about the
finances Of the company. He says he has
not seen the June statement yet, but he
thinks the company il about square"
and that il there be any debt at all it 10
certainly nothing like $4,000. We are
glad to find the Report agreeing with US
As to the value OF tho mine.

BILL NYEs BOXING,
As Illustrated by Personal Expo.
riemce In the Manly Art.

The boxing glove is a large. fat mitten
with an abnormal thumb and a string at
the wrist with which you tie it on, 80 that
when you feed it to your adversary he
cannot swallow it and choke himself. I
had never seen any boxing gloves before,
but my brother said they were soft and
wouldn't hurt anybody. So we took off
some Of our raiment and put them on.
Then we shook hands. That was to show
that we we're friendly, and would not STAY
each other. Ny brother is q good deal
younger thar l am, and 80 / warned him
not to get excited and come for me with
anything that looked like wild and ungov-
ernable fury, because 1 might, in the heat
Of debate, pile his jaw up on his forehead
and fill his ear full Of sort thumb. He
said that was all right and he would try to
be cool and collected. Then we put our
right toes close together, and / told him
to be on his guard. At that moment I
dealt him a terrific blow, aimed at his
nose, but through q clerical error Of mine
it went over his shoulder and spent itself
in the wall Of his room, shattering a small
hollywood bracket, for which l paid him
So rs afterward. I did not wish to buy
the bracket, because I had two at home,
but he was arbitrary about it, and / bought
it. We then took another athletic posture,
and in two minutes the air was full Of
poulticed thumb and buckskin mitten.
/ soon detected q chance to put one in
where my brother could smell Of it, but /
never knew just where it struck, for at
that moment l ran against something with
the pit OF my stomach that made me throw
up the sponge along with some other
things.
My brother then proposed that we take
of the gloves, but / thought / had not
sufficiently punished him, and that another
round would complete the conquest, which
was then almost within my grasp. took
a bismuth powder and squared myself; but
in warding off a left-hander, / forgot all
about my adversary's right. and ran my
| nose into the middle Of his boxing glove.
Fearing that l had injured him, l retreat
ed rapidly on my elbows II shoulder
| blades to the corner of the room, thus Civ
| ing ample time to recover. By this means
my younger brothers features were saved,
and are to-day as symmetrical as my own.
I can still cough up pieces of boxing
gloves, and when / close my ewes / can see
calcium lights and blue phosphorescent
CLEANS across the horizon; but l am thor
| oughly convinced that there is no physical
| exercise which yields the same amour Of
health and elastic vigor to the puncher that
the manly art does. To the punchee, also.
it affords q large wad Of glad surprise and
nose bleed, which cannot be hurtful to
those who banker for the pleasing nervous
shock, the spinal jar and the pyrotechnic
conclusion. This is why / shall continue
| the exercise after I have practiced with a
| mule or cowcatcher two or three weeks,
| and feel o little more confidence in myself.

A Gratifytnx Announcement.

Hon. George W. Baker, Of the firm Of
Baker 4 Wines, who have had the settling
up OF the accounts against the Albion
Mining Company, informs us that matters
have been brought TO q satisfactory ad-
justment, and that all things being now
of the ore which has accumulated in the
mine from the workings OF the company
and Of tributers will begin to be shipped
to the Eureka Con. furnaces for reduction
tomorrow. We understand that the trib-
uters alone have several hundred tons
ready for shipment. II is very gratifying
for us TO DO able to state that the mine 10
practically owned by the Nevada Bank, q
very wealthy and business-like corpora
ton, whose intention it is to develop the
mine thoroughly and without delay, with
the expectation that the mine itself will
pay off all it's Indebtedness from the pro-
ceeds Of the ore extracted. This is about
the gist OF the case as we get II from Mr..
Baker, who is very ~sanguine that the fu-
