C. Venus, who are both in splendid fettle and sure to put up a most exciting go. Each man has many supporters, and the general opinion is that the six rounds "will be very evenly contested. A Lee and J. Cann can also be depended upon to put up a very attractive display, and the bout between Reg. Phillips and .11. Darby will be another interesting one. Those engaged in the try-outs are all reported to be in excellent, trim, and the winners will be hard to pick.

All members of the Association who have not deceived their tickets may obtain*same after 7.30 o'clock on Wednesday evening from the treasurer at the Opera House office.
