ELTHAM ASSOCIATION. (From Our Own Correspondent.) The annual general meeting of the Eltham Boxing Association was hold on Tuesday night. Mr. A. A. Stewart presided. The annual report congratulated members on the comparatively good financial position of the association. The balance sheet showed a loss on operations during the season.

The Taranaki Centre had again offered the Taranaki amateur championship to the Eltham association, and the niatter had been left over for the incoming committee. As mentioned in the report of last year, the professionals seemed inclined to have an inordinate idea of the value of their services as attractions to the public.
