MABTON A. AND P. SHOW. Members of the Marton Agricultural and Pastoral Association will be pleased to learn that the Wanganui Jockey Club, in a very sportsmanlike spirit, has decided to hold their next race meeting on Friday and Saturday, January 31 and February 1, and not on Thursday, January 30 (the date of the Marton Show on the Marton racecourse), and Saturday, February 1, as recently notified. The Wanganui Jockey Club gave every consideration to the association’s request to avoid the clashing of dates, with the above result. Besides being of commendable benefit to the association, it will also enable Rangitikei district to attend both days’ races at Wanganui, and the association’s thanks are publicly extended to the Wanganui Jockey Club for their co-operation and assistance. STAR WRESTLING BOUT. GLEN WADE AND KING ELLIOT. Wrestling fans are reminded of the star wrestling bout between Glen Wade and King Elliot, to take place at the Civic Theatre, Marton, on Tuesday evening next, under the auspices of the Marton Wrestling Club. The bookings at present are quite up to expectations and there is every indication of the club's efforts to arrange an interesting star bout being appreciated by the public. When the club were notified that the medical advisers of Earl McCready had instructed him not t? book any more engagements, they immediately made appliction for a match between King Elliot and Glen V ade. and this has been endorsed by the Union. The object of the club in seeking these two men was to provide a bright contest in which the issue is always in doubt. So many matches are really one-sided and a winner can be picked before the start. This will not be the rase with the Marton maten. Elliot was very popular here on the last occasion and has been described bv people in a position to judge as the finest * 4 fair-dinkum ’ ’ wrestler in the Dominion. In Wade he has an opponent of his own weight and one who provides brisk wrestling. The box plan is now open at Mogridge’s.
