Better Class of Men Coming
SEASON OPENS THIS MONTH
The annual meeting of the Wellington Wrestling Association was held on Friday evening. The president, Mr. 11. I). Bennett, presided over a full attendance.
In presenting the annual report, the president reviewed the activities over last season and expressed his regret that the class of men sent out by tho agents of the New Zealand Union was not up to the usual standard. As a result the union had decided to change its agents in America. This, he said, would result in a complete change in the personnel of the team for New Zealand this year. Four members of the team were arriving in Wellington by the Maunganul to-day. Another four, lie said, were booked to leave San Francisco by the Makura on May 10, though the final selection could not be made for a day or so. Matches booked already wcr£ Blake v. Walker, at Auckland on Monday, May 8, and probably Hall v. Paterson at Wellington on Tuesday, May 9. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year:—Patron, Mr, C. J. B. Norwood; president, Mr. H. D. Bennett; vice-presidents, all re-elected. Executive committee, Messrs. E. Lynneberg, J. Creeke, J. D. Willis, J. 11. Thompson, A. Nancarrow, A. Pope, J. 11. Steel, and A. Hughes; secretary, Mr. J. C. Steel; treasurer, Mr. A. G. Washer.
