YOUNG MEN'S INSTITUTE.
The gymnasium in connection with the above institute was opened on Tuesday evening at Norden's sample rooms. During the evening Mr Oliphant gave some illustrations of the various grips and holds of Ju-jitsu, and it was explained that owing to the absence of the mat, it was not possible to show the falls, etc. However, a fuller demonstration would be given on Tuesday week when the mat arrived. Mr J. H.
Tjyxford, who has charge of the boxing class, gave several hints, and some good advice in regard to the noble art of self-defence. Several of those present put on the gloves, and very willing bouts took place among the members.
