Dukes as follows:-" This Conference viows with alarm and disgust the prevalence in tho Colony of n brutal pastime falsely called'boxing,' but which is in reality nothing less than prize fighting. These pugilistic encounters are contributing largely to the growth of lawlessness and larrikinism ef the worst type, and as a Conference we pledge ourselves ill common with other Christian «irchc3to agitato until the LegislaS refuses its sanction to the ififamous evil."
