BOXING.

A South African paper reports the death of the noted Australian boxer, Bill S'avin. \ An American exchange says:—“That the exNew Zealander, Dan Creeden, recently defeated by hid McCoy in a boxing bout, is suffering from paralysis of one of his arms. Billy Murphy, the old Auckland lad, iq said to have left England immediately after his defeat by Curley. Though the little New Zealander thinks he is as good as ever, his recent performances clearly show that his fighting days are over as far as first class men are concerned.
