 mother earth by Jameson, with whom Scott had no 

 chance at the weight, when they met for the final fall. 

 Once the rush to seize on the victor, and bear him off 

 shoulder high to some favoured tent, was quite the 

 fashion ; but crowds are not so demonstrative nowa- 

 days, and Jameson is not so very portable. There 

 was therefore only a little cheering, and each man 

 squeezed out of the narrow doorway as he could. The 

 toilets of Scott and Jameson were pretty well attended 

 by their friends and admirers, and then they walked 

 up to the committee-table in the most business-like 

 way. There was no crown of oak leaves — no ode by 

 the Pindar of the wrestling committee. The secretary 

 simply shook hands with Jameson, who squeezed the 

 Cup with much ado into his inside-coat pocket, drew 

 his 15/., or whatever it might be, and returned a small 

 portion to the fund. The process was alike simple in
