"A Strange Exhibition.
A gentleman, of German extraction, named Hirsek, has introduced combats of women at Dresden, and the account of the proceeding is that six Amazons entered the Arena with light but tight fitting costumes. Three were matched against three, and they were to give their antagonists complete throws, wrestling fashion, right on their backs. The women are described as lithe and agile in the extreme and bring down rounds of applause as their fair forms struggled in fascinating and elegant contortions. At length the rounds were complete, and the final heat remained between a colossal sandy lady and a pretty, neat and small brunette, who, to the wonder of all present, flung her big opponent on the back with greater ease than would have been possible to accomplish by most men. This issue was a golden watch and chain for the victor and golden applause from the assembled spectators. The fascinating proceeding may ere long, find an imitator in some English impresario." - Civil & Telegraph.
