One of the principal items is a five-round contest for a trophy presented by the Club, between F. Kerr, the New Zealand feather-weight champion, and Bert Treweek, champion of Southland, and now of Palmenston North. Critics consider the, latter boxer- to be a strong candidate for this year's Dominion Championship, and the Mastenton Club are to be congratulated on securing the meeting beforehand. It mill be remembered that Kerr gave a splendid exhibition of scientific boxing at last year's championships, when he beat Shields, after an extra rounfi had been fought Treweek has only suffered one defeat, and has knocked out O'Shea (Auckland), beat Ben Tracey (brother of Tim Tracey) and drawn with Shields.
