WRESTLING MATCH.

The wrestling contest which took place at the Theatre Royal on Saturday, the 26th ult., between William Miller of Vietoria, and Clarence Whistler, of America the Melbourne Argus), excited very Iligreat interest, and was watched by a large Owing to difficulties in the preliminary arrangements, the match was nob commenced until nearly three-quarters of an hour after the advertised time. For nearly an hour ifc was continued uninterruptedly without a decisive fall, Whistler astonishing the spectators with his extraordinary agility and skill, while Miller was relying upon his great weight and strength, without doing much active work. At length the referee applied for 15 minutes' rest for the competitors, and they retired. Soon after their return to the stage Whistler succeeded in securing a fall. Another interval of a quarter of an hour was taken, and the resumption of the contest afterwards was speedily followed by its termination. Whistler soon had his more weighty opponent: partly prostrate, and to complete the fall had recourse to the expedient of twisting one of Miller's arms in such a manner as to place him at His mercy, and , : to leave him only the two alternatives of t accepting defeat or submitting to a violent fracture, of his arm. Miller, under the compulsion of something akin to torture, declared Whistler the winner of the second fall, and of the match, which was to be decided by two out of three falls. Whistler, apart from being a phenomeally agile and skilful wrestler, appears to be particularly expert and determined also in placing the limbs of his opponent in per'l as a last resort, ft is noteworthy that in his first contest in Melbourne against John Thomas, the latter gave way lest his arm should be broken; in the second match, Donald Dinnie retired disabled, and in the third, Miller, as has been stated, acknowledged himself beaten to save the dislocation of his arm. Whistler's.mode of wrestling, however effective, is consequently at times calculated to prove repulsive to a considerable section of any audience.
