RAJAH FORGIVES.

WRESTLER'S BRIDE. HAPPY PRINCESS BABA. SEES HUSBAND WIN BOUT. SAX FRANCISCO, March 1. All is now well with Robert Gregory, the wrestler, and his blonde bride, the Princess Baba of Sarawak, according to a despatch from New York. Gregory won a match at Buffalo, New York, despite the fact that some irresponsible spectator shouted "Faker" at him—and besides the princess received word that her £<H)0 a year allowance, cut off by her father, the Rajah of Sarawak, when she married the English wrestler, had been restored. The princess, daughter of the white ruler, watched as Bob won in six minutes and 50 seconds from big Fred Bruno, of Boston. The man who bawled "Faker!" was hustled away after Bob invited him and anybody else in the Buffalo sporting auditorium to "come up and fight." "I guess these Americans don't know much about wrestling," said Bob, getting ready to go to Syracuse for another wrestling match. Sir Charles V. Brooke, the Rajah, said ill Singapore that he had not been very serious in cutting off the princess' allowance. Anyway, he paid most of her bills meantime, he said. The Ranee had previously become reconciled with Gregory, saying she would have offered no objections originally had lie been a Luxor, but she did not approve the methods of wrestlers, especially in America. After seeing he was a handsome athlete, she said, she had changed her mind and approved her daughter's matrimonial selection. However, she would have preferred had he been a boxer, which was higher in the social scale, in her opinion!
