BOXING.

XBy. Upper-CutJ.: The local boxing world is all the ' stronger for the permanent location m this city of T. McGibbon, who will henceforth be associated with Captain Hugo's corp of fire-quench-ers. McGibbon is a very decent young fellow and is sure to makef heaps of friends by his unassuming and gentlemanly demeanor. He is reputed to be- clever with the gloves and exceptionally sound m defence. His six-round bout with Tim Tracy on the 25th inst. will give us a chance of sizing up his abilities m the roped arena. Tommy Hanley leaves Sydney on Saturday to carry out his engagement with the. Wellington Boxing Association to fight J. Godfrey for the feather-weight professional championship of the Dominion on the 25th inst. Tommy will be quartered at 'the Albemarle Private Hotel during his sojourn • m Wellington. It may ultimately be a permanent one. A question -now floating around : "Will Bill Squires now chuck the game, or come again ?" Bill will m all probability come again. He is a comparative young 'un yet, and may come out on top after all. Melbourne referee Cosson seems to be an ■ exquisite card at making bloomers, ■ according to the measure of dissatisfaction with which his decisions are received.
