WRESTLING.

The wrestling contest between Bob Scott and Alec. Bain at the Opora House next Thursday nin;ht promises to draw a full house , . O'he Wellington amateur championship is to be decided on the same occasion, and Joe Ga.rdinor will meet Aubrey Sarah. •■.Asi.h'pMulf of the> wrestling bout decided at the Oxford Sfusic Hall tno other evening, when Charles Stone,-tho American, stood off Andro Chorpillod, the h«fiTr-wois;ht champion of for flfteon minutts. th«.riien nnd their friends' mot at 'Tho Sportsman" offlco next dny to discuss the terms of a match which was practically inevitable. Stone had. had money down with the paper ever since the young Swiss gained his brilliant victory v at the' Alhambra over the burly Frenchman, li»\iwnt Lβ Beaucarois, and thourti challcmK«d last week, by Maurice Deriaz, the Swiss felt bound, under the circumstances, to give the American the first chance. Cherpillod has no_ idea of backius out of anythinE Hi which Deriaz is concerned; but his supporters, talcing into consideration the fact ■ that Stone was first In the field, deem it ■ only right and proper that the American should.have-tho call. There was some discussion about the rules and the holds to bo barred.' Stone for a time stood out for all jn, saving the strangle hold. Hβ argued that <yverythinß else was allowed in the States, and that he had no idea of eliminating the toe hold and ■ other looks always considered fair in the .country he had just recently fleffc. CherpUlod,' who speaks little or no .English, left everything to his friends',' and finally it was decided to bar only the strangle hold and tho double nelson, though tho hammerlock will not be allowed with the bar. Haying got thus far, the division of the purse cropped up. Stone could not understand why,' if the winner took the wholfe of the stakes, he should not have the piirso or-receipts iii full. ' Eventually ', it was agreed that this should be divided 70 per cent.' and 30. ■ The place of wrestling • was to be agreed to on Monday, March 14, one week before the date of.the match.
