4 Sport Which Ia Comparatively Dead
Ia This CITY.
Scme attempts have been made recently
to resurrect wrestling from the state of
"iDuocuOus desuetude" into which it has
fallen since the great iascOs of few years
ago at the Pavilion. The sporting public
of this city has become disguised with the
sport aud it is doubtful whether if two of
the most skillful wTestlers in the country
were TO give an exhibition there would be
more than a c0rpOrais guard to witness the
contest.
One of the biggest fakes perpetrated on a
SpOrt-l0ging public took place recently at a
ball on Turk street. The takers did not
realize 4 cent out OF it, simply because the
people have no desire to see any further
wrestling matches unless they take place in
the gymnasium of the Olympic Club. or in a
similar Institution where only honestly con-
tested athletic featS are tolerated.
The object If he professional wrestler
nowadays is 10 receive good gate" and

A Paragraph Abont the People Who Live

In 1918 Sir John Ross discovered an iso-
lated race Of human beings, numbering
about 200 souls, living on the inhospitable
shores Of North Greenland. To this COM
munlty he gave the romantic name of Arc
tic HighlanderS," q name which, unfOrtu-
nately. is misleading, for they are littoral
people, and cannot inhabit the arctic high
land. as it is an everlasting icecap, and,
moreover. they will not even visit it, for
this inland Ice Is TO them region of terror

spirits.
At the present day they number, as near
as can be estimated, about the same as when
the knowledge of them came to the civilized
tory, but live on the narrow strip of noun
famous coast, which is left bare during the
summer months, by the retreat OF the win

from other human beings, did they live on
some small oceanic island. Practically they
do live on an island, for they are surrounded
by water; by great expanses of solid

with its sea face of sixty miles; they
