BOXING

THE COMING TOURNAMENT. DWYER. Probably no tourhament hitherto promoted by the local Boxing Association has created quit© the same interest "as that to be held at the Town Hall on Monday next. Among the several lightweights in the Dominion Williams and Dwyer are undoubtedly in the leading class, in fact, there are few lightweights Australia who would stake heavily on their chances of defeating either, and to add to the interest in a meeting between two such high-cla£s performers is the fact that on their first meeting the con-test resulted in a draw, hence both men are anxious to again try conclusions. Prom many quarters the association lias been congratulated by those who saw their contest a£ Napier on being able to announce a return battle between the two. Dwyer arrived early in the week, and repotts himself as in the best of trim. Good .preliminary contests should b© the order, those engaged being:—Pearce and McKenzie, Ruslevholtz and McMorran*. Porter and Mc-Ariy. McKenzie hails from Napier find is keen on meeting the local bantam ■*h ampion. From the time the plan opened yesterday morning there ha© been a keen demand for seats, and intending patrons are advised to secure their tickets in advance. Tickets for other parts of the house are also on sale at Howe and S-omnan’s and. Ned Perry's. Attention is colled to the announcement from the JKsfsookition. that the main Cuba street entrance to the hall wilt be closed, and that admission will -be through the Wakefield street entrance. Mr Earl Stewart has been appointed referee. GEORGE COOK IN THE LIMELIGHT. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received August 10, 8.30 p.m.) LONDON, August 9.
