AUCKLAND AMATEUR PROVINCIAL BOXING CHAMPIONSHIPS.

The revival of the Auckland amateur provincial boxing championships after a lapse of six years, is keenly appreciated by patrons of the fistic art, and the Northern Boxing Association’s tournament on Monday and Tuesday next (July 12 and 13) at the Town Hall is certain to receive a wide measure of patronage. The standard of boxing witnessed in amateur bouts decided at recent tournaments in Auckland augurs well for the success of next week’s carnival at the Town Hall, and as the entries in the various divisions are well up to expectations some interesting and spirited contests are promised among the contenders for the respective championship titles. The best of the local amateurs will be seen in action, and boxing followers may look forward with confidence to a couple of first-rate entertainments on Monday and Tuesday evenings next. On the second night of the carnival additional interest will be given to the proceedings by the 'fifteen rounds, lightweight professional contest, which is to be decided between B. Jarvis and T. Keenan, two capable exponents of the art. Their encounter should be productive of a skilful display, and with the amateur contestants who have survived the eliminating bouts of the previous evening on hand to dispute their claims to the various championships Tuesday evening’s carnival should prove a noteworthy one in many respects.
