WRESTLING
CONTEST ON MONDAY NEXT BLOMFIELD AND KENT AGAIN The Auckland Wrestling Association has been fortunate enough to obtain the return bout between "Lofty" Blomfield and Harry Kent in the Town Hall on Monday night next. Seldom have two wrestlers of such equal ability, strength and speed been seen together. In their last meeting. Kent won by sheer fitness and wearing-down tactics, but in the interval Blomfield has _ had several matches, and has been training hard. It was at his special request that the match has been arranged/ It was generally thought that the last bout between these two was one oi the finest seen in the Town Hall, so with the men in better condition, the bout on Monday should eclipse the last. It has been stated that Kent was a professional of only one year's experience, but it transpires that he has been a professional among the headliners for about seven years, during which period ho several times earned tho right to a title bout. It is his intention to endeavour to beat Earl McCready. who, according to cabled advice, is matched for a world title.
