closure, and list of the matches is posted out
side The approaches to the incIosure are deco
rated with multitudes Of futtering flags Of many
colors and thronged by variegated and always
merry crowd.
When the afternoon matches are about 10
begin the wrestlers. who are divided into two
groups, known. respectively. as the East and
the West, file in from the dressing rooms and
take their seats outside of the ring on opposite
sides. At each pillar of the ring is seated a re-
tired wrestler, one Of the toshiyori. who act as
referees. in case their advice or opinion is de-
manded by the umpire.
The yobtdashi. crier. comes forward into
the ring, carrying a fan, and calls out the
names of the two wrestlers who are about to
contend. He is followed by the umpire. whose
rank corresponds with that Of the wrestIers
The wrestlers are divided into three classes and
there are umpires Of three grades, those Of the
lowest rank being barefOOted, those of the sec
ond rank wearing "tabi," or digitated socks

Of age and who are known as toshiyori They
about eighty in number and are divided into
two clasSes-t those known bUkata and those
who are not. To become a bukata Il retired
wrestler must pay 30 yen. or about so. The
bukata share the profits and sustain the losses
attached to the annual matches, which are held
during ten fine days in January and in May,
Those toshiyor who are not bukata are de-
pendent upon the earnings of their pupils in
the matches which are held outside of Toxic
during the rest Of the year.
To become a wrestler a man must enter the
service of toshiyori as pupil apprentice. He
practically receives little o. no instruction from
his master and gains honor and place by in
discriminate struggles with his fellow pupils.
When the pupil has wrestIed himself into the
position Of a recognized wrestler he is permitted

the wrestling at these u.a..nes is genuine in

At EXON. in Toxic. the annual matches are
held in a large rectangular tent, about two
hundred feet square. The ring, which is in the
centre of this tent is elevated about three feet
above the general level It is covered with
roof, supported by four posts. which slightly
inclined inward, the roof being smaller in size
than the ring, which is twelve feet in diameter

groups OF geisha or dancing girls in their gay

the Emperor and court. such as exists in the
theatres and permanent circus buildings in
Europe. If the Emperor wishes to see wrestling
it takes place in the palace.
The best wrestling occurs in the afternoon
after O'Clock. The price of admission is 10

FRUIT FOR THE FAIR.
state Commissioner Is Busy With Big
and Beautiful Specimens.

state horticultural Commissioner
\. Won Holderbeke is up 10 his eyes
in business these days collecting and
preserving samples OF fruits Tor the
ST Louis fair. says the Tacoma Ledg-
er Earl, cherries and straw berries
will soon be over. and must be caught
now or not for another year will an
other opportunity occur. He was
found at work yesterday and among
the sDecimens being preserved are
strawberries from the W. Bailey patch
in tha Sixth addition, and Tacoma
cherries and rhubarb. A single stalk
of the rnubarb measures over two
feet six inches in length, and Is more
than six inches in circumference. A
single twig Of cherries less than four
teen inches long bears eighty-five ripe
specimens.
The next week will see delivered a
lot of extra large jars especially made
for Washington fruits. Until then
it is necessary TO cut large stems Of
rhubarb in two. as well as to divide
single items of fruit, as cherries, where
the chief communication is the wealth
of cherries on a single stem.
An oddly of the process Of preser-
walton is the perfection Of it. To
make room for some OF the newer
specimens. some Of the jars had TO be
emptied which had been doing service
in the exhibition room. A jar of fine
apples was turned out, and when the
apples were laid open with a knife
they were found to be perfectly sound
as the day they were put up.
In the process OF preservation, for
maIdehyde is used. The tendency Of
the drug TO extract the color of fruits
is counterbalanced by the addition Of
elycerine, as it is desired that these
specimens shall be even better pre-
served than these which have attract

DUFFY WANTS AUTOMOBILE
TO Pace Him IN his Attempt TO Lower
The 100 Yard Mark.

New York, Oct. 26-Ever since the fast
trotters and PAGERS succeeded In reducing
the worlds records with the aid of a
wind shield the question has been asked
what advantage similar pace would be TO
Arthur j. DuIiey, the worlds champion
snrlnter
Duney has run 100 yards in S-5 sec
onds worlds record for the distance,
without the aid OF pace, What he could
accomplish should he try the distance
behind an automobile with wind shield
Is a matter for conjecture.
In bicycle racing pace has been all I'M
pOrtant In establishing worlds marks.
Without Il a bicycle rider has not done
q mile better than / :5S 20. Behind a mo-
torcycle, with 10 inches OF protection, a
mile has been ridden In l.0s.
That the wind shield would make II
easier for the sprintcr there can be no
doubt He would not have TO breast the
resistance Of the wind and could his legs
ny fast enough TO do 100 yards In less
than g3i seconds, Duftey's record he
would be carried along at record pace,
The shield would aid the runner mate
rally, II would AFFORD him much greater
protection than that offered by the horse
or the oyclist. And with an experienced
chauffeur the automobile could be rated
AT whatever pace the runner desired.
Duffey Is sanguine that he can reduce
his present mark, and when he goes
against the record at St. Louis next
spring he will in all probability be aided
by paocmaker.
Some Of his sangulne friends predict a
