These medals are of beautiful design and each is set with a tine large diamond. 1 The recipients declared then aiid there that they valued them more highly than they did the 250 purse. They have been sent back to Chicago to be engraved. Paul Poiudexter, chairman of the com-, mittee in charge of this contest, received many compliments on the way this prin-' clpal event was conducted. He was I pulled out of bed at 5 o'clock the next morning to receive a "large cold hot." Thursday forenoon, the wrestling! match bet a een Orwell, of Ronanza, and Williams, of San Krancisco, which was billed for the previous evening, took place. ' A high board fence had been built in front of the grandstand, which made it neces-. q0 sary to produce for a ticket or not see the match.
