WRESTLING MATCH.
[PBBBS ASSOCIATION TBLEGBAM.j DUNEDIN, June 25. There was a full house at the Princess Theatre last night to witness the wrestling match between Professor Miller and Blade of Timarn. Oa first coming together a good deal of time was occupied in getting a hold, Miller having to make all the play. While gripping his opponent, by the shoulders, Miller threw him without any tripping by sheer strength. Blade was taken by surprise, but the fall was a very pretty one. The second time Miller feinted, es though attempting to trip hie antagonist, and Slade back heeled him very neatly. The third fall was secured by Miller, who throw Slade (who is a big powerful man) clean over his head. The fourth bout occupied least time of any. Miller cross-buttocfced his man, and thus secured the necessary three falls. The stakes were £25 a side.
