The Wrestling Goes On.
As will be seen by posters upon the streets, we are to have our regular Cornish wrestling on
Friday and Saturday, July 4th and 5th. The proprietors, Messrs. Hammil, Oates & Co., offer the
following prizes to the winners, to be paid in gold coin: 1st prize, $100; 2nd prize, $70; 3d prize, $50;
Ath prize, $30; 5th prize, $20; 6th prize, $10. The wrestling will be conducted, as usual, in the old
Cornish style, and the rules will be strictly enforced. Those who wish to enter the contest or to make
a standard can do so by giving their names to Hammil, Oates & Co., on or before the 4th of July.
Postponement.
In response to an order from the President, the full membership of the R U. S. assembled at
the Pacific Hotel yesterday for the purpose of reconsidering the resolution to celebrate, in their
usual manner, the forthcoming national holiday in Grass Valley. A courteous note was received
from the Executive Committee for 4th of July of Nevada city, heartily requesting the ancient order
to participate, as a body, in the regular exercises at the county capital on that day. By resolution
thanks were tendered the Executive Committee for their kindly consideration: and though the full
membership cannot attend it was resolved that a delegation be sent up, and that the contemplated
celebration in Grass Valley should in consequence be postponed. Like invitations from other parts of
the State were respectfully declined. Expressions of thanks were freely made to those of our liberal
citizens who so generously furnished the ready means for the proposed celebration by the order at
home. The money was refunded yesterday. With the beautiful and peculiarly impressive ceremony
of reobligatiou of loyalty of the Brotherhood to the American flag the meeting was adjourned. Henry
Wohler, Pres. Isaac Sanks, See’yBasket Picnic.
There will be a basket picnic at the old camping ground, near Indian Springs on the coming
Fourth of July, and in the evening of the same day there will be a social dancing party at the hotel. A
general invitation is extended, and a good time will be had by those who attend.
No Cars.
We see by the Republican that the Truckee people are in trouble because the C.P.R.R. refuse
to charter them a train to go to Reno on the coming Fourth. It is not the Truckee people the great
railroad dislikes, but it seems to have a lasting grudge against Reno.

Persons and Things.
An obituary notice of Mrs. Hosapher Ewer, wife of W. B. Ewer, editor of the Mining and

Valley many years ago, and held in high esteem by many friends.
