Finlay’s school staged several bouts, under the auspices and in aid of the Greymouth Boxing Association’s funds. Several interesting bouts were witnessed. At the conclusion of the tournament occasion was taken by Mr F. Chapcott, to bid farewell to Mr A. McKenzie, the trainer of the Grey Main School boys v who was leaving the Loco Department, Greymouth, on transfer to the Railway Workshops at Addington. He said that Mfr McKenzie’s work was now beginning to make itself evident in the boys, and would be felt more so in the future. He also extended a welcome to Mr McKenzie’s successor, Mr J. .Porter of Nelson, as official Instructor.
