SUNDRY SPORTS.
CHOPPING CONTEST. A match between giants will justly describe the contest to take place between Mr W. Peph, of Taumaranui, and Mr J. E„ Shewry, of Tahora, on Victoria Park next Saturday afternoon. Botli men are jealous of their prowess, and as they are putting up their own £SO each, there will be a straight run for the nimble shilling to be charged at the gate, Three “chops” (12-inch, 15-inch, and 18inch logs) will be contested. Pech is recognised to be the champion of Australian axemen, and holds the Championship for 18-inch blocks,. Shewry (a comparatively young chopper) has the two-feet standing block championship to his credit, and both men have been see-sawing for pride of places for some time.
