WRESTLING
OTAGO CHAMPIONSHIPS The elimination contests in this year’s provincial championships will be wrestled at the Concert Chamber this evening, commencing at 7.30. Fortyfive entries have been received, and in every weight class there promises to be good competition. Besides finding the champions in the various classes, the tournament will be availed of by the association’s judges to decide which amateur is to hold the handsome C. J. Thorn belt for the ensuing year. This belt is awarded to the amateur displaying most knowledge of the purely scientific side of the game. ‘ln addition, the winners of the Rose and Casserley Cups will be selected. The Rose Cup will be awarded to the amateur in the light division who has shown the most improvement during the (last year, and the Casserley Cup to the competitor who has shown similar progress iu the heavier divisions. As this is the only fixture in the year that amateur wrestlers have entirely to themselves, it is hoped that the public will attend in large numbers. Full particulars are advertised.
