BOXING.

HANNAN AND MAXWELL. Says the association note:—A large "houso" is anticipated to-night at tho Town Hall, when the : postponed tournament of August 7'is being held. Maxwell, who has 'taken. Murphy's place at -short notice, arrived' by last night's Main Trunk, and reports himself in first-class condition, well able to do himsolf justice against his formidable oppoueut. Hannan, too, has kept steadily in training, and is expected to make the best showing yet put up by him in Wellington. The tenround preliminary between Rogers, of Wellington, and "Gnat" Williams, of Tokoniaru, should prove a good attraction. The former has appeared before local patrons previously, and, on each occasion, has mado a good impression, while his opponent on this occasion is well known as having met most of the better lightweights of tho Dominion.
