Boxing.

It is again a mailer for regret that no boxing contest was held at the Easter Tournament at Dunedin. A strong effort was made to arrange one, but it was not successful. It appears that our University is the only one in the Dominion that has a Boxing Club worthy of the name.

The general meeting was attended by a fair number, and a strong committee of active member was elected.

Owing to the generosity of the Club's Vice-Presidents and to the keen enthusiasm of its members, the prospects of this season are exceptionally bright. The valuable services of Mr. T. Tracy have once more been secured, and on Tuesday evening a large number of enthusiasts receive the benefit of his tuition. New matting has been purchased, and other improvements have been made, so that a first-class ring can be erected within a few minutes.

It is hoped that, besides the contest with the Star Boating Club, a College tournament will be arranged. Last year this tournament fell through owing to the scarcity of active members. This year, however, some decidedly good talenthas been unearthed from among the numerous new-comers, whilst all the "oId brigade" are still actively enthusiastic. Some of these latter are showing decided improvement, and it is expected that Victoria College will be well represented at the Wellington Provincial Championships next month.
