The Bundaberg "Daily News" stated tlut ke had "a very large meotWof faTmsrsand others at a placo called Oi* Gin. Tho report proceeds:— "Mr. 11. 11. Mullett asked if there was iinvono in the hall who would liko to try a boxing bout with Mr. Wienliolt, as if there were the latter would be pleased to accommodate them at ft friendly spar. Tho Gin Gin champion, S. Blair, then accepted the proffered glove, and put up a very creditable performance over four rounds with Air. Wienliolt.
