Leckie v. Glasson

Contest at Wanganui SEVERAL boxing enthusiasts have made the suggestion that 2YA should undertake to relay the boxing contest to be held at Wanganui on the 14th, between Leckie and Glasson, and have cited the success of the relaying of the Wanganui Sand Contest as a precedent for the making-of the effort. While it is recognised that great interest is taken in the boxing match, it is also to be recognised that a great deal of expense is involved in such a relay, as was consummated on the occasion of the Band Contest. The expense, together with the preliminary organisation, is in fact such that it is regretted that i. relay on the occasion of the fight ig out of the question. -In addition, a complete programme has been arranged and published for the night in question. the 14th instant, and it is not practicable to arrange a relay in substitution at short notice. In recognition, however, of the interest taken in the boxing contest. effort will be made by 2YA to secure the result before the close of the evening session and broadcast same for the information of listeners.
