BLOMFIELD AND SAVOLDI AGAIN WIN FOR AUCKLANDER [Per United Press Association.] WELLINGTON, December 7. A wrestling match between Blomfield and Savoldi to-night came to an unexpectedly early finish, Blomfield winning by two falls to one after half an hour in the ring. There was plenty of hard work in the two opening rounds, most of it permeated with showmanship. Although the crowd took it all goodhumouredly there must have been much disappointment over the dramatic suddenness with which the contest ended. Savoldi took a fall early in the third round, and Blomfield retaliated at the beginning of the fourth, and secured the winning fall early in the fifth. Three alls in 4min 39sec was the record established.
