Curious Contests In Which They Dis

Wrestling seems to be an interna
tiOnal sport, but one of the most curl
Gus styles to be seen is probably that
Of the Swiss. There is generally an
immense meeting Of the wrestlers
every year. called the ''swingerfest,"
meaning literally the festival Of
swinging" and to this festival come
the mountain men from all parts OF
Switzerland.
1t takes place in an immense arena.
generally four or six couples wrestling
at the same time. with stands around
for the audience. The men who are
wrestling each wear a pair Of short
knickers. very loosely worn. and made
of some stout material. with leather
belt at the top to strap 1t on round the
waist. over their costume. and the idea
Is to catch their opponents by these
knickers and throw them. Both shoul-
ders must touch the ground. and the
men are not allowed to hold their op-
ponents except by the knickers.
OF course 1t Is mainly a question of
brute strength. and on nearly all o.
casIons the mountain men prove the
better of the townsmen. Very often a
man will throw his opponent clean
over his shoulder through the air. and
when one considers that this must be
done only by gripping a piece Of sail
cloth or such like material In either
hand. at the height Of a mans loins
