AUCKLAND ASSOCIATION 1 ' 1 SOUND FINANCIAL POSITION "There is no doubt of our Bound financial position," said Mr. G. Henning, who presided over a largo attendance of members at the annual meeting of the Auckland Wrestling Association Inst evening. "Assets are £IOOB, with liabilities only £sl.

The new season holds promise of .being the best so far in wrestling in New Zealand. Previously, only a few overseas men have appeared, but it is expected to have about 15 visitors this year. Among tlicße will be such men as Sonnenberg, Ivolaff, Santen, Savage, Mamos, Chung, a Chinese, and Sliikina, of Japan."
