Much sport was Occasioned at the
ringside in Exhibition Building Friday
evening in the wrestling bout between
Iron Man Abbott and Peter Sturgis,
the latter claiming the welter- weight
championship of the world, on win
ner-take-al basis. 5ott has had n
great number of admiftrs in SkOwhe-
gan because of his previous notable
successes in the ring and his appear
ance this time with professional
ELECTED great interest. II was the
best two out of three and Sturgis won
two with Abbott on top in the second
bout. Considerable argument and
some feeling resulted ut the end OF
the final bout over the position of the
final fall, Abbott's shoulders resting
on, the mat with his legs sprawled out
on the floor of he ring. The weight
of the men was us for Abbott and
152 for Sturgis, but the professional
instinct of Sturgis made up for the
excess in Abbott's weight. Preced-
ing the main bout Kid Bosworth of
Calais and Putnam OF Fort Halifax put
up n good wrestling stunt and Pope
Leo and Christofl. two local fellows,
put on boxing match which gave the
crowd a good time altho the encounter
was far from being serious one.

VEGETABLE CROP NOW
NEARLY AS BIG AS SILVER

Denver.-The production of vegeta-
bles for market and for seed has de-
veloped rapidly in Colorado during the
last cade, until the annual value Of
vegetables and vegetable seed grown In
the state is now nearly as great us the
annual value of the silver output.
The leading vegetable crops are can
talOupes, cabbage, cucumbers, toma-
toes, lettuce. celery, onions, beans and
sweet corn. In the production of can
taloupes Colorado ranks second among
the states, being surpassed only by
California. Cantaloupes are raised
here both for market and for seed, this
state producing larger proportion of
the annual seed output of the United
Statt than any other. Reports OF
county assessors to the State Immigra-
tion Department show that approx
mately 1900 acres of cnntaIOupes were
grown In the state this year, of which
about 1000 acres were grown for seed.
