19 ANNUAL BOXING COMPETITION. On Friday, Feb. 23rd. the fifth annual Boxing Competition took place in the Hall under the patronage of His Excellency the Governor. The Hall was packed to capacity and the standard of boxing was first- class. In fact one visitor, who knew what he was talking about, was heard to remark that he had got more for his shilling than he had got for several dollars when he had seen Joe Louis beat Farr. At the end of the competition an exhibition bout was staged) by Police-Constable Arthur Childs, who had also assisted with the training of the compe- titors, and Mr. E. Stedman of Imperial Airways. We Eihould like to express our thanks to them, to the referee, timekeeper and judges for their services, and to the Electric Light Co., for the loan of the floodlights, and, of course, by no means least, to the boxers for a very good show. The results, star ' ting from the lightest weight, were as follows: — Burland 4 beat Shanks; Tatem 3 beat Frith 1; Terceira beat Wingate; Mercer beat Swainson; Barnard beat Tatem 1; Cox 1 beat Spurling 2; Tucker 1 beat Sheppard; Adderley beat Pantry 2; Leseur 1 beat Har- vey; Spurling 1 beat Malloy 1; Floyd beat Crawford; Welch beat Moniz 1. At the conclusion the John Cox Shield, won by Watlington Ho ape, was presented to Welch by His Excellency. CADET NOTES. Promotions: — C.S.M. — Sgt. Aitken; Sergeants — Cpls.
