T. HITACHIYAMA.

    WASHINGTON, Nov. 21 - T. Hitachiyama, the Japanese champion, captured the President's heart and incidentally a photograph bearing his autograph. Two other Japanese athletes wrestled six rounds, two of which the Japanese referee who presided over the exhibition decided as "draws." It was at the conclusion of these that Hitachiyama took the center of the stage and gave what is called an "exercise" which consisted of playing ball with the three smaller men who accompanied him. One of these assistants was hurled through the air for a distance of a dozen feet and landed at the President's feet. The exhibition stopped because the three men were tired out, and Hitachiyama told the President he regretted very much that he had not, as was the custom in Japan, forty men to tire out instead of three.
