Spirit of the people le reflected in their love tor it. It is unlike the national eports of Muerte% the English or the Scotch, and is as tnueli older than baseball, cricket roast golf as Japan is older than the matt:ries where these sporte flourish. The record a the empire goes back to the perky,' twenty years before the birtli of Christ, when a great national mate!' ‘Vas held. This was in the year that Caesar's neptieiv assumed the linper- lei crown ot Route. It was twenty- seven years D. C. that Nomino-Sukune contended with Melva, in the palace At Nara and threw this boaelful wrestler with much Agee that he cited on the spot. Kelaya prided lam - self on lite great strength, am] ekilla and the victor was crowned by the Emperor and covered with bonore. After 111.9 death Sukune WW1 deified and to this day is worshipped as the patron of Japanese wrestlers. The new order of things under which japan hoe attempted, with sueh surprising suecess, to adapt herself to the western ideas has de- prived the wrestler of some of his glory anti importance, but be etill continueto be a person of great interest and consideration ia the cammunielee !Mienhe may dwell. Boys look up to him with awe and Nerteratton, wail° bashful maidens divide their struggling affections be tween Wm and the evev-ismular actor. The ota folk see In litin ono of the representatives of another order of things now rapidly disap- pearing -the ''good old Vilma" the "golden age," for which every an- cient worthy in every land and clime las sighed since this wicked world fleet started on its downward °mese.

Outsele the ring he le easily recognized by Iiis Enormonsietai tire- -enormous as compared with that of his average countryman -his extra- ordinary girth, bis waddling gait and the assumption of superiority over Jan fellotv beings with rehires his physical proportions seem to inspire him. The European dress craze -which in the early '030's and for many years thereafter appeared to have seized upon all classes and sexes has left the wrestler untouched. To tbisday he is the(one maa who may be said, alone among Japanese of distinction, to leave consistently clung to the national costume. He even goes 90 far as to retain his cue and a pe- culiar build of clogs not worn now- adays by any ono else. Like other sports, wrestling has had tte ups and downs in the popular eeteem. The popularity which wrestling arijoye at the present day Is traced to matches that were held In! 1881 on the we/talon of the Em- peror's visit to the ex-daimyo ot Satsuma. Under the Tokugawa dynairty-that is to say, during the. period of "the great peace" - The National Sport of Japan. `Kk wrestlere enJoyeel Special erten- eget/ because their art was still MI - tailored of military importance Dad thei" services were likely at any mo - meat to lei requirad by the State.

Every large town has Its Wrestling ring. The no in Tokio is. a fair sam- ple, of most. Imagine a frame building about 180 feet loug by 150 feet wale, covered by a mama root, In- side, on. the four sides, are tiers of seats and boxes witch command a view of the ring. In the centre le the ring itself, formed a,s a rule by heap - Jag hardened earth about 80 lochee high lu a perfect circle of 20 feet In alameter. The whole suggests, ex.. eept as to size, the Circus ring or a pia on an enlarged scale. The wbole is surmounted, but so as not te ol etruct the view or the audience, by a, dale supported by four pillar. At oppoeito pillars are pails of water for the wrestlers to drink from be- fore or during a bout. On the rade of the pails are a basket of salt and a buridie of paper slips, the for- mer To Purify the Body for the coutest, which, it is said, may possibly end in death, and the lat- ter to wipe the thee. Nearby Is little shrine dedicated to Nornino- aukune, the guardian deity of the wrestlers, beiore which offerings of rice end water are made every morn - leg while the matchee • last. The water ie Afterward sprinkled to purify the ring. Wrestlers come upon tho ring from opposite sides, sup- posed to be the east arid west, an- eording to the side to which they belong. The umpire stands on the north side of the ring and faces south. There are no "bleachers" to dis- pute tile decisions of the umpire. So great is the confidence of the public lin hie official integrity that his de; crew are rarely, if ever, questioned. There is an elaborate school of tigory and practice through which he has to go to qualLfy himself for the ale- ; charge of his duties. He decides when lib() time has aaalved to separate the Istruggling wrestlers, and it is part or his duties to set them again in ! the same position as when he parted them. 1 To be declared the victor of a "meet' a wrestler has not only to be prepared to wrestle successfully with every coiner, up to a certain number every day, but he has also to keep the same pace going while the contests are in progress -two week% as a rule.

At this juncture a score of men and women appeared in single file and each volunteered to furnish bail for Mr. Rooney. The sergeant se- lected Mr. Rooney's employer.
