LAND AND WATER.
Two wrestling matches, H. Dunn v. J. Smith and J. Dunn v. Kirkwood, took place at Groymouth on Saturday last (says the Grey River Argus), in both of which iho Dunn brothers proved victorious. H. Dunn had to throw his opponent, a very heavy man, five times in as many styles in an hour, but he only occupied 22 minutes 57 secondd in his task. The contest between J. Dunn and Kirkwood was very oven, but owing to losing his hold in the American hide-hold the latter sacrificed any 'chance he might have had. At the conclusion Harry Dunn threw out--a challenge to wrestle any man in the world, and his brother followed suit for lOst men.
