Mr., Phillips the part of Balthazar in
Romeo and Juliet On the first
night Balthazar managed the first line
of his part, and then forgot the rest.
Romeo, in the person OF Mr.. Benson,
had to go to his assistance and speak
the rest of the part for him, while
Balthazar exhibited an agony of
speechless grief.

American Wins From Achmed
With a Grip on His
Sore Toe.
BOTH WREsTLERs GAM E.
Took Washington Boy an Hour

Strong for Third.

Joseph Turner, of Washington. who
claims title as the champion middle
weight wrestler of America, last night
won the wrestling bout in the City
Auditorium from Carrie Achmed a
turkish wrestler, who holds the title
IN several foreign countries. The
match was the cleanest, fastest and
best exhibition of It's kind ever seen
In Richmond, and the sameness of the
Turk. who lost chiefly on account of
sore toe, attracted the attention of the
big crowd.
1t took Turner an hour and three
minutes TO win the first fall which
was accomplished by a full leg nelson
on the head and a toe hold. Although
apparently suffering greatly from his
injured foot .Achmed fought bravely
to prevent his shoulders being put to

Achmed won the second fall in ten
minutes and ten seconds with u leg

worked furiously to win the second /
