Wrestling Match

The largest crowd ever gath
cred at a like function in this
city attended the wrestling
match at the Harrison theatre
last evening, between Peter
Fromm, of Harlan, and Harold
Culavin, of this city. The
house was packed with the fol-
lowers of the sport and a good
many bets were made in favor
of Culavin, who went down to
defeat. The first fall was
made in II minutes with a half
Nelson and a bar hold and the
second fall was made in IL
minutes with the same holds.
Harold stated this morning,
chat Fromm was too much for
him and that he had done the
best that he could. Fromm
had a little the best of it on &C.
count of weighing more than
Culavin and as several of them
said, his arms were so much
longer that he could keep Cula-
vim from getting any hold
whatever. The match, though
very short, was one of the
cleanest and best ever seen in
this city. Over $4,000 was
taken in at the door, of which
the winner took sixty per cent.
The preliminary boxing ex-
hibition between two local boys
was very good and helped to
make the evenings pleasures
for the audience.

lamps to outline the building.
The wire used in this connect

miles. Aside from the effect,
which was certainly remarkable
beautiful, the actual work in
volved in wiring the tall spires
of the cathedrrl was notable for
the fact that it had to be push
