Second Day of Japanese Wrestling Tournament
Decorated with strange symbols the Armory hall is
in readiness for the second day of a Japanese wrestling tournament. The
affair opened last night, large crowds of Oriental spectators being present
to witness the exhibition of skill of their compatriots. The Japanese athletes
perform in a peculiar "ring."
Four tall posts form the corners of the "ring,"
while at the base of the inclosure is a heap of sand, with a will beaten
path around the edge of it.
Elaborate decorations, portraying golden dragons
on silken backgrounds have been used extensively in the decorating scheme
while many signs bearing examples of Japanese chirography have been used.
Even the refreshment booths were elaborately decorated in a Japanese style.
