THE CHARGE that kegs OF beer we're
carried Into the police quarters on Sat.
urdsy night and drank by the OH ,ers
after the meeting at the Iusiitute Hall,
should be strictly Investigated by the
Mayor, and II proven untrue the fast
should be made known. Bat II, on the
other hand, II should be found that
these charges are initiated, the
Mayor should lose no ums In making
an example of the man or men who
were concerned In this outrage. Mayor
Rhoads will soon retire from the offi 70
which he has held, and with the excsp-
uon OF few mistakes, faithfully par-
formed Its duties during The pas, thrss

intended for the opponent to catch hold
of, l think; at least he generally does,
and otherwise there would be no sense
in having them so strong. This band
and small pieces of cloth around the
waist and loins form the wrestling
costume. These wrestling matches
have something of religious charac-
ter to them, as both sides before COM
mencing go through certain cere-
mony, as if imploring the aid of their
patron saint, and then throw little
rice into the ring, which is about six
teen or twenty feet around, and is
marked out by a circle of raised dirt.
Each contestant has a referee, then
there is always an umpire, who, to
Judge from tho richness of his COS
tune and the airs he gives himself, is
the most important parsonage of them
all.
The wrestlers themselves are very
amusing in the amount of style they
put on. Always before beginning
they go through certain motions sup
posed to timber the muscles and joints.
Yet the wrestling, to any one brought
up as we have been to matches taking
the nerve, wind, endurance and muscles
of the contestants, appear a perfect
farce In the first place, any kind of
a throw counts, provided only the
man touches the ground; second, if
you push or back man outside of the
ring it counts the same as fall !;
thirdly, if in the space of minute
and half the wrestlers fail to throw
one another, or to push one or the
other out of the ring, then the umpire
stops them, first noticing carefully the
hold each one has. Then they go to
their corners and rest, and drink of
water is brought to them, with which
they rinse out their mouths.
After waiting a few seconds the UNI
pire calls them into the middle of the
ring, and sees that each have exactly
the same hold that they did before
having been separated. This goes on
until one has been thrown or pushed
out of the ring which may take from
twenty minutes to half an hour, dur
ing which time the crowd is in the
widest state of excitement. l wonder
what they would think could they see
one of our GRECO Roman matches.
which, if moro brutal in the way of
hurting one another is certainly much
more interesting and exciting to
watch, and demands more agility and
strength. The place where these
matches take place is generally sur
rounded by wooden gallery holding
many persons, and having seats for
more underneath. This is made of
wood, not nailed together, but simply
bound together with straw, yet it
seems to hold perfectly.-Samuel 4.
