WRESTLING

BLOMFI ELD AND ANDRESiiN

Bright and attractive wrestling is anticipated when Oie Andreaen, the Swedish heavy-weight, will meet "Lofty" Blomfiold, lihe vastly-improved Aucklander, at .Sin Majesty's Theatre., to-night. Few wrestleru can claim the popularity Andreaen haß enjoyed, and this is sufficient to indicate t ba'i he is a pleasing type of exponent. Thtl Auckland. Wrestling Association was fortunate, in securing the match, in view of tho fact that two other associations had aaiceil for the retnrn contest. The Swede is a iaai; man to watch and his wrestling should appeal to local enthusiasts. Blprafield is again in good forin and can be relied upon t<i provide plenty of action. A repetition of th(i form shown by both men in their ptevioun bout would give Aucklanders the opportunity of witnessing one of the best contestn aeeu this season.
