Society, so as to enable the visiting boxers’ expenses to be paid, no tourney eventuate on Wednesday June 20th. A sub-committee consisting of Messrs A. A. Woods and Purvis was appointed to go into the matter, as it was felt that without the Pahiatua and Wanganui boys the tourney would bo a frost. Mr. E(srlo Wimsett presided over a good attendance of the executive. The financial statement of the recent tourney showed that despite the very heavy expenditure entailed, a satisfactory net balance remained. Casey v. McDonald. The secretary’s action in communicating with Lachio McDonald, through the secretary of the N.Z.8.A., re a contest with Harry Casey was endorsed. If a favourable answer is received this bout for the middle-weight championship of Australasia will be held early in duly.
