WRESTLING
Richards and Forsgren All roads will lead to the Munieipal Theatre, Hastings, to-morrow night, when the proven favourites, Eay Eichards and Jack Forsgren, will meet in a return bout. Their first meeting resulted in a win for Eichards, and the result is one which Forsgren is particularly auxious to avenge. In addition to real wrestling ability, Forsgren has 'iiiiniitablo mannerisms which, though they might make him uupopular, nevertheless give rise to endless excitement. and consequently make him a great drawing-card. This season he ' has provdd to be even a greater magnet to wrestling crowds than before. Eichards, who is making his first appearance in Hastings, is a pupil of Joe Stecher, and, liike all that famous wrestler's proteges, is an expert with scissors and other Jeg holds. In combination with a thorough knowledge of all the holds, he possesses a tremendous flying tackle and drop-kick. Being tremendously powerful in the leg3, he simply kieked Forsgren out of the ring whenever Forsgren attempted his specialty, the Boston crab, in their first bout. Thiie contest should prove to be the best staged this season, and patrons are advisecl to mako their reservations at Hall's bookshop. A late bus leaves for Napier.
