WRESTLING.
JOHANSSON TO MEET SINGH. Another wrestling boni is to be shiffad lit tie Tcu'n Hall on Wednesday night be-, tiveen Naranjan Stash, of India, ana Waller Johansson, of Finland. Singh haa conquered Charlie Pollard, Marrad Gardew and Farmer Vance in succession and ao he may be regarded as a fonnjoanle opponent lor juu of the overseas wrestler* at present in Auckland. The wrestling public here haa had but one opportunity of seeing Johansson in action, when he was defeated by Tom Allay. Since then tie pair hare met in Wellington and Alley was awarded the decision on pourU aifsr each man had secared a fall. Tie fact that Johansson stayed the MI eiffbt rounds with. Alley shows him to be an improved wrestler. Everyone will be Jncoue to see bow Johansson, a heavier man t&aa Vance, will fare against the Indian, and so there is likely to be another large attendance at Shi- Town Hail on Wednesday evening the box- plana open at Carter and Aahsss at eight o'clock this paorain«.
