New Year's Wrestling Ring.
The official list of wrestling matches at Eko-in of this year has been made public. The ring was to have been opened last Sunday, but on account of the snowfall on the previous night, the opening day has been put off. The prospect is exceedingly bright, from the business point of view, for a large portion of the galleries is reported to have already been secured by votaries of the ring, either for the whole ten days or for a less number of days, so that people who have not sent their order to secure good seats must content themselves with the ground seats. The match between Hitachiyama and Araiwa seems to raise the keenest expectations among the ring going public. Wednesday will probably be the opening day, supposing the weather permits.
