TO-NIGHT’S WRESTLING
Two first-class wrestlers in Dick Raines and Vincent Lopez are to nfeet at t.iie Wellington Town Hall to-night. Lopez, who will lie making his first appearance in Wellington, roused a record house to a high pitch of excitement in his recent bout with Blomficlcl at Christchurch. There have been big attendances at each of Raines’s matches, and there are already indications that the hall will be full to capacity on Monday, so great is the interest in Lopez’s visit. Lopez and Raines are a perfect match, both being over Oft. in height and weighing between 16 and 17 stone. Lopez was responsible for the elbow jolt being introduced into the wrestling game, and', as Raines also uses a dangerous jolt, there should 'be some thrilling exchanges in the course of the evening. There will be amateur preliminaries from 8 p.m.
