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

From the London Standard
The sports field at Grasmere lies at the
foot of a characteristic ridge of fe.ls, very
narrow at the top and steep nearly as
the side of house. AS you sit in the grand
stand this ridge rises up in front of you
On the bare. precipitous slopes Of it the
guides race Is run On the verdant lawn
on which the grand stand is paced the
wrestling matches are held and those spec
tators who are not in the stand make a
ring amound the lawn. There are coaches
and carriages. too, all around, on which
people sit and watch and have picnic lunch
cons. and it all looks rather like Lords crick-
eft ground reduced in size.
In Cumberland wrestling the fall is won
directly d 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 Grae-
cO-Roman catch-aS-catch-canner would be
getting to the serious work. Were it not
so the Grasmere sports would last all the
year round. AS it was, several matches
went on at the same time.
Many of the men had their tights en-
broidered with wonderful flowers or de-
signs in silk wool-the work of their
women folk, who were now straining to get
a glimpse of how the charm worked from
the swaying ranks of people around the
ground.
Boys wrestled: men with White hair, who
had gained in experience what they mad lest
in elasticity, wrestled. The boys seemed to
be young Orlandos tremendously trying a
fall with the Charlses of the profession, and
who knows that there was not some Rosa
lind who saw 1t all dimly through the crowd
and was ready to say afterward, Sir, you
have wrestled well and overcome more than
your enemies"

HOMELY BEYOND DOUBT
COST $4,000 TO MARRY OFF A
GIRL.

ROCK ISLAND, ILL.,. October 13.-That the
late Father Thomas Mackin said he hao
given $50 900 to c. A. Plamondon of Chicago
TO marry his present WIFE who Is niece OF
the priest. was the statement made by Mrs
Mary Crummie. wife of nephew or Mack
in. on the stand in the circuit court here
yesterday.
Mrs. Crummie was witness In contest
which has been brought by number OF
the disinherited heirs to break the priest
will, which disposed of an estate valued at
500 600. She Is not a party to the case, sbut
her children are.
Attorney NJ NJ Sturgeon. for the con-
testants, asked her If she recollecsed any
conversation with Father Mackin at Ger
tain period some years ago. Her reply
was:
why, he said in her presence referring to
Mrs. Grace Mackin. one of the benehciafles
of the wiiD that l was not afraid to work.
nor was I afraid to marry poor man. but
that he had to Guy men for his two nieces,
and that he gave Plamondon over SoO.OU.
Father Mackin made his money in bust
ness in early life, and while he was con-
nected with the church his estate grew.
AT the time the will was drawn, the near
est surviving relative was Mrs. Catherine
McArdle. sister, who died since the pres
ent case has been on trial, due. 1t is claimed,
to over excitement.
Among the other relatives are Mrs. Pla-
mondon of Chicago, and Mrs. Thomas IL.
Dolly of this city. nieces, and Mrs Grace
Mackin. widow of a nephew. and for a
number of years the housekeeper for the
priest. The three nieces were near the old
man in his last days. and to them he left
his estate Mrs. Plamondon being willed
about third. and the greater portion of
the remainder going to the others. The will
was drawn while the testator was on his
deathbed a year ago. The contest was be-
gun on the ground that the priest was of
unsound mind in his last days. and that
influence was exerted to prevent him from
recognizing other relatives.
Charles A. Plamondon said at his resi-
dence last night that Mrs. Plamondon' S
right to the legacy in Father Mackin's will
was unQuestioned. that the property really
belonged to Mrs. PlamondOn's father. and
that the priest held 1t in trust for her
under an unusual ante-nuptial agreement
made by her father.

PURE FOOD REGULATIONS.
Some of the Rules Not Approved by
All the Secretaries


Differences that may prove serious have
developed In respect to the adoption of the
pure food regulations. The commission, con-
tural Department. DR.. S. N. D. North of the
Department of Commerce and Labor and
James L. Gerry of the Treasury Depart
ment formulated the proposed regulations
under which the pure food and drug act Is
to be administered. They reached a unani-
nous conclusion recently after many weeks
OF investigation, discussion and considera-
ton. AS finally agreed upon by the COM
mission. the regulations were in the nature
of a compromise on many points.
The commission submitted the regulations
to Secretaries Wilson. Shaw and Metcalf
by whom. before they become effective, they
have to be approved. 1t Is known that some
Of the regulations do not meet the entire
approval of all Of the secretaries, and 1t
probably will be necessary to modify them
before unanimous agreement is reached.
Under the regulations as they stand
now, 1t would not be legal. for instance. to
label any brand of wine manufactured in
this country as champagne, although 1T
might be as pure any wine ever manu-
featured. No American made cheese could
bear the name "Neufchatel,' although it is
claimed by American makers that that is a
distinctive name OF cheese made in many
places in the world Under the regulations
American made champagne would be called
american wine," champagne type" or
champagne blend" The cheese might be
called "cheese, Neufchatel style"
Mr. Gerry went yesterday to Martinsburg
w Va. where he will meet Secretary Shaw
and submit the regulations to him. They
have not been approved yet by either Sec
rotary Wilson Secretary Metcalf. al
though both of those officials have examined
them. It is not unlikely that the three sec
retaries may have a meeting in the near
futur to determine what action they Will
take. It is regarded as essential that what
ever action he taken shall be unanimous.
