A wrestling tournament was held at Herekino on Monday evening in aid of MissNercia Urlich’s candidature, Kaitaia Queen Carnival contest, was well attended, the hall being well filled, and some lively contests were witnessed and very much enjoyed by the spectators. The programme was arranged by the Broadwood Amateur Wrestling Club, the referee being Mr. Dunning and Mr. Mooney was the announcer. Constable F. Taylor, of Kaitaia, represented the police. The following were the bouts staged:— R. Holland B—6 drew with W. Holland 9 -4, both of Broadwood, W. Holland taking a fall with a body press in the 2nd. round, and R. Holland equalising with the same fall in the last round. R. Hornell 9—6 drew with N. Ducker 9—lo. Ducker took a fall in the first round with a body press, Hornell scoring a fall v ith the same hold in the second round. Points #ver the last round were even. T. Hollows 12—5 of Broadwood drew with B. Ling 12—2 of Broadwood, there being no falls registered. This was a bout ir, which both lads showed a failknowledge of modern wrestling holds. Points were even in rounds 1 and 3, but Ling was well ahead in round 2 and was unlucky in not gaining the decision. J. Hornell 11—4 of Broadwood defeated H. McLeod 11—2 of Herekino by a fall with a body press in the last round. McLeo 1 was well ahead on points when Horne! scored a lucky fall. W. Reid 12—10 drew with D. Newman 11—10 noth of Broadwood, no falls being registered. A. Anderson 10—5, Broadwood, defeated J. McMullian, lightweight amateur champion of North Auckland, on points. This was a very fine bout, in fact the best of the evening. McMullian was not wrestling in his proper class, the contest being a “ catch weight.” G. Fiearl3—6 defeated Steve Urlich 13—5, both of Kaitaia by one fall, by a body press in the 2nd. round. Frear, a well known boxer, made his debut in the wrestling ring, but could not forget his boxing stance, much to the amusement of the spectators. D. Urlich 11—7, Kaitaia, drew with D. Hawkins 11—6 of Broadwood, no falls being registered. Urlich made a fine showing against an experienced opponent.

F. Lunjevich 10 st., of Herekino, defeated G. Lane of Broadwood 10—5 by one fail in the last round from a body press. This was also an exciting bout, and a fitting climax to an enjoyable night.
