THE WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIP. , AROUSING MUCH INTEREST. To use a. common expression, a "dingdong go" should result” in the match in which Louis Robertson is, on July 20bh, to wrestle Joe Gardiner for tho lightweight professional championship of New Zealand and a purso of X*2o. In wrestling circles considerable interest is being evinced in the match, and as the two participants are no mean exponents of this form of athletic development there is great doubt as to which man will ho the victor.
