KEEN CONTESTS AT THEATRE ROYAL. JIM CARTLIDGE DEFEATS MÄTTY SMITH.

[By Argus.]

There was deservedly a record house at the Theatre Royal on Saturday to witness the bouts arranged by the Hongkong Boxing Association. Naturally the main interest in the programme was the 16-rounds contest between Jim Cartlidge, R.N. and Captain Matty Smith for the Light-Weight Championship of the Colony and the Hongkong Boxing Association's Belt. The bout went the full fifteen rounds and the decision was in favour of 'Cartlidge. As will be seen from the report below the Referee (Mr. A. Murdoch) had continually to warn the men against holding. This occurred in every round. In the writer's opinion' Smith was the chief offender. This apart, however, the men gave a very game display in which Cartlidge, especially towards the end, did most of the forcing; and the Judges (Lieut.-Commander Conway Hake, R.N., and Dr. E. P. Minett) can have had little difficulty in reaching their decision.

The success of the entertainment reflects the greatest credit on the efforts of the General and Boxing Committees and a special word of praise is due to Mr. T. G. Bennett (Hon. Secretary) and Mr. J. Brook (Manager), To the latter, the writer takes, this opportunity of thanking him for the readiness with which he fell into proposals to keep the press-box free from interlopers. It is

true that two or three attempts were made by unauthorised persons to gain admittance, but thanks to Mr. Brook's precautions these

failed.

Among those present in addition to the officials were:-Major General Sir John Fowler, G.O.C. Sir Claud Severn, Mr. C. D. Melbourne. Mr. D. M. Ross, Lieut.-Colonel Montague Bates, Colonel Butterworth, Hon. Mr. P. H, Holyoak, Capt. E. I. M. Barrett.

At the conclusion of the main event, Major-General Sir Fowler, G.O.C. fastened the Belt round Cartlidge's waist. account of the bouts follows:-

༞ཏྟཱ,

Middle Weights. The first bout was a middle weight contest between Stoker P.O. Young, of H.MS." Diomede," and Pte. Eaton, of the 1st. East Surrey Regt.

Young adopted rushing tactics and clinched frequently but got his right home to the face well just before the close of the arst round.

Young continued to rush matters in the second round, but Eaton had slightly the better of them.

In the third round Estou scored continually with his left, but did little damage. He cleverly avoided most of Young's vicious swings,

In the fourth round Eaton con- tinued to have the better of the exchanges. The round was spoilt by continual clinching.

Young was the more aggresive of the two in the fifth round, but Eaton's foot-work prevented him coming to much harm.

Eaton had decidedly the better of the last round, though both men apppeared to have had enough of it.

A game disply on which Eaton was declared the winner.

Light Weights.

The second event was a light weight contest between L S. Wrigley, of H.M.S. "Hawkins," and Bandsman Wareham, of the 1st. East Surrey Regt.

"The first round was lively, the seamandoing most of the attacking, Wareham appearing to be sparring for an opening.

The second round was rather a tame affair until towards the end,

The final round was a little more exciting and exchanges were ieven. The verdict went to Private
