WRESTLING.
HACKENSCHMIDT'S DEFEAT. Received April 8, 8 a.m. LONDON, April 7.
The "Daily Chronicle's" Chicago correspondent states that spectators at the wrestling ma*ch between Gotch and Hackenschmidt consider that Gotch's methods were somewhat foul, but the opinion is universal that HacKenachmidt was overmatched. TV bout, cateh-as-catch-can, lasted two hours, Gotch finally throwing his opponent heavily. Though the referee disallowed the fall, Hackenschmidt refused to continue, thus forfeiting the wrestling championship of the world.
