BOXINQ GONTESTS.
MINISTER TAKEN TO TASK. By Teleeraph—Press Association— hi Sydney, December 5. The "Sydney Morning Herald" takes Mr. M'Gowen to task for his spineless reply to the deputation against boxing contests, and adds: "A boxing contest conducted to a knock-eut on gentlemanly lines is not a draw; a more gladiatorial spectacle is more likely to draw. Wo aro not among those who try to force refined morality by legislation, but the limit is roached when a so-called sport becomes a foul ulcer of infection to any unable to protect themselves,"
