RETURN WRESTLING MATCH.

When Jack Forsgren (Canada) and "Lofty" Blomfield (New Zealand) had their first match at the Wellington Town Hall such an exciting contest resulted that the local association lost no time in engaging the men for a return bout. This will take place on Tuesday night as a special attraction for the King's Birthday holiday and the expectations are that there will be evidence of even keener rivalry. Forsgren, who holds the professional heavyweight championship of his country. feels that the defeats he has suffered at Blomfield's hands do not do him justice and has expressed his determination to show that he is the better man. Whether he will be able to do so remains to be seen, but the fact remains that Blomfield is wrestling exceptionally well at the present time and, as always, will be exceptionally hard to beat. Whatever the result it is certain that there will be thrilling action from start to finish, with the issue always in doubt. There will be amateur preliminaries from 8 o'clock. Particulars are advertised.

ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL. The second round of the Wellington Association football championship wul be played at the Basin Reserve tomorrow when Watersidsrs will meet Marist and Ssatoun will play Institute. The game between Watersiders- ana Marist should prove attractive as boc.i teams appear to bs evenly matched. On No. 2 ground the greatly-improved Institute team will meet the unbeaten Seatoun team. Institute are confident that they will be the first to lower Ssatoun's colours, but Seatoun will, not take any chances. There will be two good curtain-raisers.
