WRESTLING.
A V CRLAND CONTESTS. iFjfcCSS ABSOCIXTIOS YWLXGtAIi.} AUCKLAND, November 17. The Auckland branch of the Ex-Service* men's Wrestling Union staged the aeries of its contests this season in the Town Hall to-night when two professional contests ended most disappointingly, in each case one contestant retiring injured. The first bout was between Alex. Imndyn, champion of Finland, and Tom Ray, billed as *'a -wrestler with a thousand holds." The tirst round had been in progress but a minute or two when Ray dived at his opponent, and Lundyn, caught off his guard, had to be assisted from the ring with a dislocated knee. In the second match Tom Alley, light-heavy-weight champion of the world, was pitted against Abe Coleman, the Jewish Hercules, whom AUey defeated when the pair met previously. Coleman won an easy fall in the third round, but in the sixth round was incapacitated with a hammerlock and arm* hold.
