BOXING
DAL COSTA V. GLARRIE RAYHER One of the liveliest matches that could be staged is to take place at the Town Hall on Saturday, evening when' the smart New South Wales bantamweight champion/ Dal Costa, will meet Clarrie Rayner, who holds the dominion feather-weight title. Costa arrived some days ago, and may be seen working out at T. Harris’s school. He lias impressed those who have seen him going. His record in Australia is an exceedingly, good one, and never has
lie been in a bad fight or one that hung fire for want of ginger. Rayner is already well-known to Dunedin enthusiasts, and his record as an amateur and for the last year as a professional would be hard to beat. He won four championships in his .last year as an amateur, and was amateur champion and professional feather-weight champion -within two months. He still holds the title. Costa will be giving away weight on Saturday—he has been doing that all through his tour—but as Ifo has made weight since coming to New Zealand, the disparity will not bo great. A fast, lively bout is in prospect for Saturday from these two
art. two-handed boxers. There will 1.3 amateur preliminaries. Particulars r.»e advertised.
