WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIP.

{To the Editor.) Sib,— Be a letter from Mr R. J. Scott of Janaary 13th, where he says he arranged a match with me, to take place in the Drill Hall at .a quarter-past eleven o'clock, I must say it is false because I did not see him till two o'clock in the afternoon, and as for me wanting the hall, why I never heard the hall mentioned till Scott spoke of it to me at two o'clock in the afternoon as I preferred the grass all along. About Scott claiming the championship he will have to wrestle me first. And about this would be champion Scott talking about wrestling for £2O aside, why the above stake money would not pay for training expenses. Now, I hereby deposit £lO ('en pounds) to-day to wrestle Scott from £SO to £IOO aside and will wait anxiously for a reply through your paper, Now Scott come on and put your money up, and don't have so much ta k. You are anxious to know if I mean business. You will see by this that I do mean business, I will meet you at the Stab Office any day you mention to draw articles and sign as I will *-"jfc ready to wrestle you at Patrick's tim. fl I thiuk it very funny after me travelling j* around the world and holding the championship for years to be dictated to by a man that ha 3 scarcely been over the bar, HabetDdhk [Too sum of £lO as a first deposit has been left at the Stab Office by Mr Dunn.
