quick succession. a Japanese fencing
contest was also held, and the queer
way the Japanese have of holding the
well-known American sport is highly
amusing. The two participants were
logged up in heavy steel masks, and
pads from head to foot, and they used
big clubs for swords. At the call Of
time the two waded into it, heaving the
clubs down on each others head, Jab-
bing each other in the face, and In
general making a point to see who
could hit the hardest blows and in the
greatest variety of places. The two
dubbed each other in hot style for
about five minutes, and then went
through the characteristic Japanese
friendship movement and disappeared
from the stage.

A feature which was very noticeable
was the fact that no beer was sold on
