We quote the following remaks anent the recent wrestling match from the Coroniandel Sun : —" For eighteen minutes both men exhibited much scientific skill, and the repeated rounds of applause which greeted the performers, testified in an unmistakable manner the warm appreciation of the. contest.

Southerland's clever p]ay during the evening evoked tremendous applause, and as he successfully held his own with Dinnie, defying for some time the latter's attempts to pin him to the floor, lie was greeted with vociferous bursts of cheering. Frequently during the evening, when Dinnie's chance of securing a fall seemed ■ certain, the redoubtable Southerland would j wriggle himself out of the champion's grasp like an eel. Time and again did Dinnie endeavour to ' down' his man, but to the

intense delight of the audience Sutherland always managed to get out of the grasp of Hercules, and come up smiling. At length, however, after eighteen minutes of one of the best bouts ever seen in the locality, Sutherland went ' down' timid expressions of regret from all parts of the house, the referee declaring a fall in favor ; of Dhmie." In the second bout, after 1, Dinnie had secured the " strangle hold," i Sutherland staggered to his quarters, I evidently distressed, whilst Dinnie came in for a good deal of groauing from the audience, who evidently disapproved of his (Dinnie's) resorting to the "stranglehold." It was announced that Sutherland would bs prepared to moot Dimiie again, with the" stipulation that the " strangle hold/ and " hammer lock " are to be barred.
