Wrestling
To avoid calling the competitors for an extra night to compete in the elimination contests at the championship wrestling meeting to-morrow night it has been arranged to start at 7 o’clock with some of the bouts in order to get through a lengthy programme in schedule time. It is important that competitors are at the grounds by. 7 o’clock and have been medically examined. The entries disclose that at least eight, wrcistlers from the rural area will be competing with the city mat men, and it is here that the surprises of the tourney may be looked for. The interest taken in the special trophies and the free trip to Auckland for the New Zealand Wrestling Union championships is greater than at any previous amateur contests, and liveliness and spectacular holds may be looked for to gain the judge’s eye for the special prizes. Tne seating accommodation at the stadium has undergone a complete overhaul, and is now permanent and comfortable, but as there are some seats closer to the ringside than others, and no extra charge is boing made for priority, it behoves enthusiasts to get in early to see the whole of the proceedings from the best possible positions. Tne price of admission to the stadium is only 1/ for men and. Gd. for women and children. ■ 1
