There was probably one very mad
storekeeper on Randall street last
night, and one horse got a much larger
meal than usual. The owner OF a store
left several bales OF hay on the sidewalk,
ana one OF them pretty close to the
gutter. In nearby shed was q horse not
too tightly tied, and he managed to find
the hay. The animal was one of the lank
kind that. like some men, no matter how
much they eat continue TO look ill fed,
and the way he chewed the hay showed
he was hearty eater. His first act was
to throw the hay from the sidewalk to
the street, and then he began his work,
and there was some work about getting
at the hay, for it was tightly bound.
Some boys came along and helped the
horse little, but the looks of the bale
sometime afterward showed its weight
had decreased. The worst of the affair
was the horse belonged to the owner of
the hay, and he will have to grin and
bear his loss.

JAPANESE WRESTLING.

Description of a Homeric Struggle in an
UnrOofed Arena.
These wrestling contests take place
in huge amphitheater, much like
large circus, sheltered by bamboo
framework covered with mating to
keep out the people who do not pay to
go in. The top is unroofed. Tiers of
boxes of primitive description line
the side, being reached by ladders
from the front. A ring of rice bags
inclose the sanded arena, some dozen
feet in diameter, in which the COM
batants meet. The center is occupied
by the umpire, a person of much dis
tinction, dressed in an old brocade cos
tune, picturesque enough to Europeans
and reminiscent of feudal times Four
judges are also in attendance in case
the umpire's decision should be dis
puted. The umpire stretches out his
fan and shouts something in a strident
voice. At his behest the first couple
of combatants appear The dress is
scarcely conventional according to
occidental ideas. Indeed, there is
practically no dress at all. Beyond
strip round the loins, absolutely moth
ing is worn. They stride into the ring
amid the plaudits of thousands, take a
draught Of water from bucket in the
corner, sprinkle themselves with the
fluid, and are ready for the encounter.
Two mighty men are they, with limbs
and trunks that would not disgrace
Samson. Mountains of muscle some,
others mountains of fat. Good humor
CLEANS in their faces. They slap their
thighs. and stamp their legs like
FESTIVE horses, and then crouch ready
for the spring, like beasts of prey.
The umpire gives the signal to com.
mence, and they bourd into each
others embrace. Perhaps the feint is
parried, SO that we have it all over
again. 1t is Homeric moment as the
champions struggle and sway this way
and that, until, with a final effort one
is thrown to the ground, In one in.

over the rice bags by a why opponent.

The women are all right, in spite OF

like plunger in a saw-mill when she
is eating soup. Neither does she sound
like the air pump on locomotive when
she is drinking tea. Let us put in the
peg right here and give the men
chance to catch up. The boys in the
country haven't got fair play during
the past few years.
