McCready telegraphed his acceptance from Nelson, to-day, the winner to take all, and the option to commence at noon to-day. CATALINO AT GREYMOUTH Earl McCready’s opponent for tomorrow’s match at Rugbv Park, Greymouth, has again been changed, . a stronger opponent than either Hopkins or King Elliott having been substituted, in Tony Catalino, the Spanish matman.
