BLOMFI ELD-KENT CONTEST A return wrestling match between "Lofty" Blomfield and Harry Kent will bo staged at the Town Hall next Monday night.

In spite of the fact that the decision went in favour of Kent, Blomfield is expected to make a muoh better showing on this occasion. Kent's Hying tackles make him an attractive exponent, but Blomfield, who is now more fit than on their first meeting, should b© able to counteract these without difficulty.
