BOXING.
TO THE EDITOR.
Sir, —Surely tho Otago Boxing Association is making a very big mistake in staging such a contest as that scheduled for Saturday next without seating accommodation. There will, iu spite of that, probably bo a record crowd, and what control will be possible? Absolutely none, and it is safe to predict that there will be more trouble in tho crowd than in the ring. J. am sure that if the contest had been put on iu His Majesty’s or iu tho barracks with scats the association could have increased last week’s prices by 50 per cent., and still have to turn fans away. Another thing, how arc cripples and elderly followers of the game to get on? 'Well, as their support is evidently not wanted, they will stay away.—l am, etc., Er/omu.v Fax. September 20.
