BOXING
GILDO BEATS HUTCHISON. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON. This Day. Showing all the science and speed for which he is noted. Young Gildo the “Filipino Flash,” outpointed Johnny Hutchinson, a highly-rated American negro, in a 12-rounds professional contest staged by the Wellington Boxing Association in the Town Hall on Saturday night. Keeping the fighting close Gildo excelled himself in his four hundred and sixteenth professional match, and he would have won by a wider margin had not both his hands given him trouble, which prevented him from putting much power into his punches.
