The Sham Battle Between Fiege and Dutur in Rochester. The Flagg- Dutur wrestling con test was carried out in the Opera House in Rochester last evening, according to programme, and so, of course, Dufur won the match. Fif ty or more Batavians witnessed it, the most of whom, although there were a few notable exceptions, had money upon Flagg, who they had learned to believe was the fairest and squarest wrestler that ever grappled with an opponent. They were mis taken Flagg did not execute the ‘‘double cross,” consequently num erous Batavians who did not “hedge” when their suspicions were aroused, got left. Below is the Rochester Herald’s account of how the thing was accomplished last evening: ‘‘A large assemblage of men witnessed the wrestling match at the Grand Opera House last even ing between G. W. Klage, hitherto the champion mixed wrestler, and Henry M. Dufur, the champion collar and elbow wrestler. Great interest was manifested in the con test, and the friends of the two men seemed about equal in number. Frank Ellsworth of Boston was ref eree, and Captain W. J. Ready of Batavia and N. P. Wilbur of this city were umpires for Flagg and Da fur respectively. The contest was under Ed. James rules, and before each bout Captain Reedy read the rules applying to it. The first bout was collar-and-el bow. The contestants locked and Flagg threw Dufur facedown. Time was called and Flagg again threw his opponent on his side, who in turn flopped Flagg fair on his shoul ders,the latter kept his hips from the floor and saved a fall. In the third attempt Dufur threw his op ponent fairly and won the fall in six minutes. The second bout was catch-as catch-can. Flage secured a waist hold but Dufur dropped face down. By main strength the first named lifted and flopped his opponent but in doing so fell over him head first and only saved a fall by bridging. In the next attempt both went to the floor face down with Dufar on tap. By a magnificent exhibition of strength the latter turned Flage fair ly over and won the fall in six min utes. Flagg’s umpire objected to the referee’s ruling but from his de cision there was no appeal. The next bout was Graeco-Roman with tripping allowed. Touching the shoulders to the floor constitut ed a fall. Flagg won the fall hand somely in five minutes. The fourth bout, collar and elbow, was all won by Flagg in short order. He secured an inside grape lock, turned suddenly to a hip lock and threw his opponent squarely over his shoulders. The inside grape is Flagg’s favorite lock and when he gets it fairly he rarely fails to win his fall. The articles of agreement provid ed that in case of a tie in four bouts the choice of Bold for the fifth bout should be decided by toss. Dufur won the toss and chose ollar and elbow. Dufur won the bout and the match handsomely in six min utes and was awarded the cham pionship belt and $4costakes. The match was hard fought and gave en tire satisfaction to all who witnessed it. The contestants were evenly matched. Flagg’s advantage in point of strength was balanced by Datur’s endurance and supple ness,” Meeting of the Presbyterian Hors eige Visionary Society. The fourth annual meeting of the Woman’s Foreign Missionary society of the Presbytery of Geneseo, met at Corfu yesterday. Notwithstanding the inclement weather, so large a number of ladies boarded the 9:23 train that the conductor socosely remarked: ‘“‘If all you ladies are going to Corfu, some of you will certainly return hungry’ The conductor had evidently never test ed the hospitality of the Presbyterian ladies of Corfu. Upon arriving at Corfu, their cosy little church presented a most in viting appearance, the pulpit being literally covered with blossoming plants and cut flowers artistically ar ranged The number of represen tatives from the several auxiliary so cieties exclusive of Corfu was ninety seven, forty four of whom were from Batavia. Reports were made from ten of the fourteen auxiliary socie ties, nearly all of which reported an increase of interest during the past year. There are now six hundred members of this Presbyterial society, and $1,095.18 has been contributed for foreign missions during the past year, the Batavia society contribut ing $296. Among the pleasant features of the morning, was the singing of the Corfu Mission Circle, consisting of about twenty little girls. During the intermission, a very in viting and bountiful lunch was serv ed in the basement of the church. In the afternoon, Miss Priest, a missionary from Japan, gave the ladies, in an informal way, a very interesting and instructive talk about Japan. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Presi dent, Mrs. Swan, Batavia; 1st Vice- President, Mrs. Weeks, Attica; 2nd Vice-President, Mrs. Fisher, War saw; 34 Vice President, Mrs. Whit ing, LeRoy; Treasurer, Mrs Long, Castile; Secretary, Mrs. Abell, North Bergen. Upon taking the cars at Corfu, the ladies were again pleas antly surprised by being ushered in to a clean new car attached to the train for their especial convenience.
