that came near To being wrecked OF the
Irish coast in the terrible storm of April She
reached this city for the first time since the
trouble. Capt Kennedy, her commander, your
correspondent found on the ship, telling the
story to a score of assembled friends. The
captain is a seaman Of forty two years exper-
ience. He said:

that stout, well built vessel puts out to sea
and IL never heard of again. In my expeii-
ence have encountered bad storms, but never

WICHITA AS A WHOLESALE POINT

The advantages Of this city as q whole

there is scarcely day tbs. there is not

High rents seem to drive of good many,
but the matter of 500 OF $500 more or less
a yea is nothing if the location is good.
Parties contemplating entering int"
wholessling should not look so much TO the
size of the city as to the extent Of territory
tributary to it.
1t must he borne in mind that this is
only an infant city and has merely made
a start in wholessling, but any one ia

great advantages she possesses ms q whole

there are but one or two houses in each

oREco-RoMAN WRESTLING MATCH.

One of the most exciting contests Of
scientific wrestling, under the reco-Romsr
rules, between the French champion, Pro,
fessor Andre Christol, and Professor vii
| Willie, came off on tie boards before al
enthusiastic and excited audience last night
1t was exciting from the first, and it is be-
lieved large amount of money changed
| hands on the occasion. Apparently, the
contestants were evenly matched and bets
were mostly in favor of Christol, whose
broad-chested, heavily musced body and
low statue was "A contrast to the tall, straig bit
frame of Willie. But the contest showed
that the victory was a mere accident as each
adversary WAS equal TO the highest art in the
contest. At ore time it seemed that Willie
would gain the advantage, as his science
and strength WAS quite wonderful. Several
times he threw his adversary's heels four
feet in the air. As it was, the first and last
falls were declared in favor of Christol, and
only one fall for Willie.
After the ref, rec was chosen, the con-
testsnts appeared upon the stage eliciting
applause from full house, and the contest
commenced:
First round-Lasted eight minutes and
twenty seconds, resulting after an exciting
contest during which science and strength
worthy of Roman gladiators was exhibited.
This round resulted in victory for Chris
tol, which was nobly contested and hardly
won.
Second round-During which time was
called twice and during which Willie made
some wonderful throws. Some little dis
pute arose on the question of the fall which
was decided by the referee, whose decision
WAS for Willie. The time was four minutes.
Third round-Was more exciting
than the former as it was
to decide the contest. In a dispute
that arose on question the referee an
noun ced that the contest was on its merits
and that no amount of money could buy a
decision, which allsyed the spprehensicns OF
the house. After superhuman displays OF
science, strength and nerve, the last and de-
cisive fall was declared in favor of Christol,
and the house greeted the announcement
with applause. Thu. round was three min
utes and forty seconds. The whole contest
marked the utmost decorum and fairness,
and the referee who was chosen and reluc,-
antiy consented TO serve, by his decision
gave entire satisfaction and showed the pub
lie that such sports can be fairly
decided in Wichita, and that sell outs for
the benefit of a few to gull the public don't

In reporting this contest it is not under

kind. though the Greco-Roman wrestling is
