BLOMFIELD V. FORSGREN. Tlie Empire flavour which meant much in the Biomfield-McCready clashes last year will again be in evidence whenßloinlield has his return match with Jack r orsgren at the Auckland Town Hall to-morrow night, as Forsgren was born I? : a^ a a - and ' s „" lc present champion of that Dominion. Blomfield is such a stron" drawing card 111 this city, where his tofIwving is now greater than that of George \\ alkei in the past, that there is bound to bo a big crowd for any of his matches, but interest m his clash with Forsgren is such that another packed house is inevitable. The pair met a fortnight ago at JJunedin and a memorable contest resulted in a draw, each man taking a fall, fcmce then Forsgren has scored two wins at the expense of Wade and jYlehringer (being the first to lower the latter's colours in }few Zealand), and Blomfield has shown that he is right back to form by having his revenge on Kent- at the Auckland Town Hall this week. Much of Blomfiekl's drawing power is due to the aggressive tactics he adopts, the manner in which he took a surprise fall off Kent being a fair sample, but he will find these measures replied to in kind if he adopts them against Forsgren.
