THE BOARD OF HEALTH AND M. PASTEUR’S SCHEME. FATAL PRIZE FIGHT. Per Electric Telegraph — Copyright‘ United Press Association. Melbourne, Feb 27. A man named Hyrow, who was engaged in' a prize fight which lasted an hour, suddenly fainted, and died in the hospital shortly afterwards.

Sydnet, Feb 27. The Central Board of Health have drawn up a recommendation to the Government on the rabbit extermination schemes proposed by M. Pasteur, Professor Watson, and Drs Butcher and Ellis, in which they urge that no disease for that purpose should be introduced into the Colony until it is positively certain it will not have fatal or dangerous effects, upon human beings or stock. The report describes the scheme of Drs Butcher and Ellis, of which thousands of rabbits are now dying in the Darling district, as merely tho itch; whilst the scheme of Professor Watson they consider not sufficiently fatal in character to make it of any permanent use to the Colony. The Government have replied to the memorandum to the effect that it is proposed to ask for Legislative power to control experiments, within the colony, and authorises them to introduce any disease providing it is absolutely innocuous to stock and human beings, pending consideration of the whole subject by the proposed intercolonial commission of experts on the rabbit question.
