WRESTLING NEXT MONDAY
In all branches of sport there are always opponents who give exciting displays when they meet. In wrestling, the outstanding pair are Fred Atkins, of Australia, and Pat Median, of Canada. Their last contest in the Town Hall was unanimously voted the most exciting yet seen in Auckland. There was never a dull moment, and in the last round, when both wrestlers were striving for the final fall, the excitement of the crowd was intense. Southern associations immediately made application for a return contest between these two, but Auckland was again successful, and ttie bout will take place at the Town' Hall next Monday. Following are tlie amateur preliminaries:—B. Sigley, fist iiib, v. G. Moore, ftst 8lb; G. Lang, list I.olb, v. J. Prestney, list 121b; D. McLeod, lost 81b, v. J. Monaghan, list lib.
