| All these events were open to all corners.
In 1874 Rose won twenty-five events in
different cities and towns in England and
Scotland. In 1888 he had a knee dislocated,
which has since prevented his wrestling.
He thinks that he has now fully recovered,
and will meet any lightweight in America.
The events mentioned in the foregoing
record are only the leading contests in
which prizes were given.
The match arranged between Col. Me
Laughlin and Adon Butler will prove al
interesting diversion, and should draw well.
1t occurs in the Leland rink on Wednes-
day. The difference in weight between
the two athletes to be pitted against each
other on the carpet comprises an unusually
amusing feature. Mclaughlin will wrestle
at over 240 pounds. while Butler will strip
at only $50 pounds. While the gallant
! colonel is the worlds champion at collar
and-elbow style, he will find Butler will not
lie down at mere command.
