BOXIN6.

Professor Chas. Richardson, the wellknown, boxer, is at present in Wanganui. He informs the writer that he intends, if sufficient inducement offers, starting a boxing class here as he has been requested by several local sports to do. A few years ago an amateur boxing association was formed here, and it brought off a very successful tournament. Professor Richardson is at present instructor of the Palmereton North Boxing Association, where he has a very large class, and some very interesting tournaments are held. The Professor should have no difficulty in getting a big 1 class together here, aa he is so favourably known as a clever instructor of the manly ■ art. Anyone interested should call on. Mr A. H. Rogers, of the Albion Hotel, who will supply full particulars.
