THEATRE ROYAL
ATHLETIC TOURNAMENT. A largo and enthusiastic audience assembled in the pit last night, the stalls and circle being very thinly occupied. All the performances appeared te be in excellent form, and the performance was carried through with spirit. The great feature of the performance was a set-to ” between Slade and Jem Mace, in which the astonishing powers of the Timaru champion were well exhibited. Slade’s career as a ' pugilist will undoubtedly be a very successful one, as he has acquired perfect mastery over himself, and a thoroughly scientific style. Another set-to between Mace and Belcher, a well-known Christchurch sporting man was also well received. Mr Patten enlivened the proceedings with the piano.
