The president (Mr B. Carr) introduced the contestants. Mr F. West (an old-time champion) was appointed referee and Mr D. Stuart and V. O. Atkige timekeepers. Faddin openr I the first round with a.cyclonic rush, but Kennedy, who .is the lighter, and more active of the two managed to evade him and was content, to play a quiet defensive game, and for an opening. The second round wis uneventful, but.inthe third round Kennedy got in some very solid body hits. .Jn the fourth round. Kennedy seemed to be on the point of bein"- onted, when the gong brought respite. During the interval he recovered, and displayed a marvellous ability for keeping-ant :of the way. The fifth round showed a considerable amount, of in-ngnt-ing and Faddin had his man on the ropes occasions, and outfed him_]nsc previous to the call of time, with a. righthanded upper-cnt.

Often one reads about wonderful performances by motor c*r» in Europe. wl«ere the road: conditions lend themselves to «uch. Bu£ nowhere were the fundamental qualities of motor cars so forcibly brought home as lately by the two beet motor cars, matte in the world, the De Dion and Darracq; for reliability, speed and everlasting wear, they stand alone; the following are the proofs: A little 10 h.p. twin cylinder last week ran from Invereargill to Dunedin and back, 300 miles in eleven hours, it made a perfect nonstop run on wet and bad roads, *nd left far behind a car of another make of 16 h.p.; it is a world's record. Does this not show wonderful speed and reliability for a email runabout car. As for good wear the firet 10 h.p. Darracq which ■was sold 2 years ago to a w*-ll known \Vaimate farmer was overhauled lately, and the owner will, prove that not a 6d part was .replaced, ■ as, not a sign of wear was found anywhere. Again we repeat that the Darracq and De Dion stand alone and are unsurpassed. ...

Tha consumption wr.rld lias waited, ■waited, waited for some genuine cure to be discovered for centuries past, and in the meantime has been dwindled right and left by fraudulent quacks and impostors claiming to have a cure for this fell disease. Everyone will admit that coughs and colds are weakening : that if nob cured in a. reasonable and rational manner they leave the lungs and throat in such a weak condition that, consumption hat? a mighty good start. ' The consumptive microbe, grows, develops,- and multiplies in weak and cough-injured lung spotG —never in 6trong lungs. Tussicura—that much-used and marvellous lung and throat tonic —quickly reduces any cough, throat irritation, or bronchial inflammation. It gives prompt and pleasant ease and comfort to any sufferer. Biifc Tussicura does more than this, because Tussicura' is a true lvnghealer, sirengthener, and builder. Persons suffering from ordinary elds., tickling coughs, bronchial and na«il catarrh, sore or relayed throat, huskiness, lo?s of voice, asthma, bronchitis, tightness of the chest, pleurisy, or influenza c.-mgh will find prompt and efficient relief and. strength by taking one or two teaspoonfule of Tnssicnra several times a day.
