A BLUEJACKET'S EXPERIENCE.
THE GENTLE SUASION' OF JIUJITSU. (By Telegraph.—Special Correspondents Christchurch, May 11.. A bluejacket who atlended the Opera. House on Tuesday night accepted a -ESO challenge from two jiu-jitsu experts performing there, and submitted himself to tho gentle suasion of the Japanese methods. A grip was taken of one of his arms, and pressure applied, but the man made no sign of pain. Tho pressure was continued, until the operator, realising that tho man must be in agony, let go his hold. The blueiackcit got up, but swayed about, and fell down in a faint, and it was ascertained that his forearm was severely strained. Ho was given every attention, and yesterday was reported to be much hotter. In consequence of this incident •the management decided not to allow further challenges to be made, and at tho close'of the exhibition last night iho patrons were- simply invited to test the efficacy of the grips for themselves. Having ju=t been regaled with n recital of almost the whole calendar of bone-breaking resulting from the application of the crips, nobody cared to accept tho invitation, taking it for granted t.hnt tho grips would have the value claimed.
