WRESTLING.
NEXT MONDAY'S BOUT. "Rusty" Weecoatt will substitute for Chief Little Wolf, owing to the latter's indisposition on Monday evening at the Town Hall, Wescoatt's opponent will be "Lofty" Blomfielcl, in whose ability Aucklanders have great confidence. In his recent matches he ha s withstood all challenges, and it takes the best of the overseas wrestlers to extend him. Recognised as the champion of Honolulu, Wescoatt first earned distinction in the realm of sport as a swimmer, and he at one time held the long distance championship across the San Francisco Harbour. He has been wrestling recently in Australia, jwhere his bout with Joe Savohli attracted an attomlancc of over 10.000. One of Wescoatt's main attributes is his dropkick, while he is also a fine exponent of I the flying tackle.
