WRESTLING IN SCOTLAND.
Athletic Sport on the Famous Field at
Grasnere.

GraSmere.
The sports field at Grasmere lies at
the foot of a characteristic ridge OF
fells, very narrow at the top and as
steep nearly as the side of a house.
AS you sit in the grandstand this
ridge rises up in front of you.
On the bare, precipitous slopes of Il
the guides race is run. On the YER
dant lawn on which the grandstand
is placed the wrestling matches are
held and those spectators who are not
in the stand make a ring around the
lawn. There are coaches and car
riages, too, all around, on which peo-
pie sit and watch and have picnic
luncheons, and it all looks rather like
Lords cricket ground reduced in size.
In Cumberland wrestling the fall is
won directly man is thrown to the
ground. There is no need to pin the
shoulders down as in Graeco-Roman
wrestling. Here at Grasmere all Is
ended Just when the Graeco-Roman
catch-as-catch-canner would be get
ting to the serious work. Were 1t not
so the Grasmere sports would last all
the year round. AS 1t was, several
matches went on at the same time.
Many of the men had their tights
embroidered with wonderful flowers
or designs in silk or wool-the work
of their women folk, who were now

Frantic Struggle for Life.

Then came a frantic struggle for
life. She struck the boy in the face
and tried to choke him. His weight
and her heavy clothing bore them far
under the surface. When they rose
again she put forth all her strength
to drag their weight nearer the shore,
where the shadows would give her a
foothold. Her efforts were successful
and thus she brought the boy to land,
and together they fell on the beach,
exhausted.

Mrs. Frederick G.. Ware has just

has made in the nine years that she
has lived near the canal at Ansonia,

girls, three women and two men from
drowning. Her latest rescue, and one
of the most difficult, was that Of Mrs
Charles Cahill, who fell into the canal
where the water is IL feet deep. Mrs.
Ware leaped in after her, fully
dressed, and after hard struggle in
the presence of several men, who
were too frightened to give aid,
brought the unconscious woman to
shore

If not surpassed, by the achievement
of little Mary Edick, age IL, grand
daughter of United States Commits
sioner Shields, in saving the life of
her playmate, Tommy Williams, age
ten. 1t was in the Hudson river, off
Grand View. Tommy had swan out
into the river a long distance-much
longer than he had ever attempted
before - and then discovered, out
there all alone, that his strength was
failing. That discovery brought panic,
and, with a scream for help, he sank.
At first Mary, watching his pranks
from the shore, thought he was still
playing. When he rose to the sur
face only the back of his head showed,
and again he disappeared. Instantly
Mary dived from the pier and swan
with all her strength toward the rip
pies. AS Tommy came up she seized
him by the hair. Holding him at
arms length and swimming, sailor
fashion," with the other hand, she
made for the shore, crying for help.
Mr.. Edick heard her calls and helped
her at the shore to take the uncon-
scious boy from the water and to re-
store him to life.
