WRESTLING.

BLOMFIELD-KIRCHMEYER AGAIN. Wrestling of spectacular interest should be presented at the Auckland Town Hall this evening when for the second time Lofty BlomfielJ will be matched with Kollend Kirchmoyor. the giant American, who lost the last battle by an unfortunate misunderstanding of the rules relating to points. Kirchmeyer. who had the distinc- | tion of beating Earl McCready 10 years ago when both were at the top of the world amateur ranking list, is one of the mowt accomplished wrestlers in the ring to-day, and bis science, combined with his great strength, his speed and the, variety of his spectacular fall-getters constitutes him one of the most formidable wrestlers who has visited the Dominion. Kirchmeyer is determined to avenge his initial defeat at the hands of Blnmfield, and promises that the audience this, evening will see him at his best. Blomiicld, however, in an old campaigner under the New Zealand rules, and has proved himself again and again when faced with the greatest opposition. Blomfield, too, is well equipped and he can be depended upon to put up a stern resistance to attack —as well as adding a little aggression of his own to the battle.
