WRESTLING.
CARNIVAL TO-TfIGHT.
WALKER AND EKLUND.
There will be much disappointment if Clarence Eklund, light heavy-weight champion ,of the world, and George Walker, heavyweight champion of Canada, do not provide some entertaining wrest* ling at the New Zealand Association's carnival in the Town Hall this evening. Both men have excellent records. Walker is not so well known as the champion, but on his recent visit to Australia he went the full distance with John Pesek, the Nebraska Tiger. The pair are scheduled to wrestle eight ten-minute rounds, which will he preceded by a number o£ likely amateur bouts.
