review of the industrial growth of the South,

AN EXCITING CONTEST.
Catch-as Catch-Can Wrestling Between the
japanese Champion and Wisconsin Man.

CHICAGO, JAN 2S.--An exciting contest, with
incidents bordering on the sensational. was wit
messed tonight by large audience at the Cen
trail Music Hall, in the wrestling match between
Matsada Sorokatchi, the Japanese athlethe, and
Evan Lewis of Madison. The terms were $3.50
and rs per cent of the gate receipts, best three
in five falls, catch as-catch-can. Frank Cover
the pugilist, acted as referee. Sorokatchi was
hardly match for Lewis in point Of strength
but as to quickness and agility there could be
no choice, and in skill the Jap was trife the
superior man. The first fall was won by Lewis
in exactly % minutes. There had been a couple
of minutes preliminary skirmish, in which Soro-
katchi appeared to decided advantage. With a
rush. Lewis secured a hold on his opponents
legs and lifting him high in air, threw him
squarely on his back.
In the second bout, Lewis got terrific neck
hold on the Jap, and was choking him with a
death-like grip, when the referee interfered. A
moment later Sorokatchi, with a sudden jerk,
pitched Lewis head foremost off the stage. The
Jap profusely apologized, and Lewis and he
shook hands.
Again they grasped each other. Quick as
fash the form of Sorokatchi went straight over
the footlights and sprawing below on the re-
porters chairs. The referee. without hesitation,
declared this action by Lewis willful, and gave
