Antiquity of Wrestling.
Probably the first authentic record of
a wrestling match is In A. D. 1222,
when chivalry on the European
was undergoing a change for the
better. During the reign of Henry III.
of England a match took place In St.
field, London, between citizens
of Westminster and the city of London
proper. Wrestling was, however, pop-
as a pastime in England at a
much earlier period, and from that
country many of the different styles
originated.

of the Pacific glacier. It first appears
like a heavy mist soon becomes

specter city, well defined streets and
trees, tall spires and huge and odd

which would seem to contain at least
or Inhabitants.
As yet no one has been able to
it, although several have claimed
to recognize the place. There Is no city
like It In Alaska, nor in any country
about thousands of miles. Some
claim It is n city In Russia, others say
it Is a city England, but can
