THE GARDINER-ROBERTSON WRESTLING MATCH.

(To the Editor.) Sir.—l enclose a clipping from “ Health and Strength” wherein you will see that lOst 61b is the lightweight limit. However, lam now prepared to meet Mr. Gardiner at lOst for £5O aside. A week or two ago I deposited £25 with the Editor of the ”N Z Times’ to bind a match with Mr. Gardiner. If Mr. Gardiner covers that deposit I shall weigh 10s t for a match with him, which, as you will see by enclosed cutting is under the lightweight limit for wrestlers. Whenever Mr. Gardiner covers my deposit I shall put £5 into the hands of the Editor of the “Stratford Post,” the said £5. being for Mr. Gardiner’s expenses. If £ 5 is not sufficient for Mr. Gardiner, I will meet him anywhere if he guarantees me £5 expenses This is my last word to Mr. Gardiner unless he comes to the point. Yours faithfully, LOUIS S. ROBERTSON, Stratford, Light and Middle-weight wrestling champion of New Zealand. [We are in receipt of the clipping mentioned by Mr. Robertson regarding the Alhambra Tournament. It contains among other particulars .the following: “My committee,” writes Mr. Bettinson, “have decided to slightly alter the weights this year, which will te as follows: Lightweight, lOst 61b; middleweight, 12st 31b; and heavyweight, any weight.”—Ed.
