The programme opened with a bout between Griffiths and Coyne, Marriott belag unable to appear, so that the former. took his place. Griffiths specified that the bout should be re- duced to six rounds Instead of sight and he did wisely as it turned out. The bantams went at each other hammer and tongs from the first; there was not so much science displayed as a desire to win by sheer slogging, Coyne got home sumo pretty ear-lifters, but bis coun toring was feeble and wants attention. Coyne bad the belter of the first round, but Griffiths tamed up bright and fresh for the second, Although Coyne was the lighter in step. Griffiths lauded the heavier blown."

Griffiths, however, was rapidly losing his wind, and if Corns had followed up his advantage in the fourth round he should have finished his opponent. There was an air of caution about the pair in the next round, until Griffiths cornered Coyen and served out a couple slashing head strokes which provided a starry vision for the latter. The sixth and last round was comparatively low. Both boxers were walling for the second wind which would not come. Griffiths forced a trife, but he had his match in Coyne, who was as nimble as ever. .pleased everybady.

Grave fears are being entertained in shipping circles regarding the safety of the America four-masted schooner Honolulu which left Shanghai in ballast for Port Townsend on the gth March last. The Honolulu is a new vessel of 907 tons and. was commanded by Captain Nielson. The run over from Shanghai to the Sound is usually made in thirty to forty days.

Shipping masters having entered complaints of the impediment caused to navigation in the harbour by boats anchoring in the Northern Fairway, the water police are keeping a sharp look out in this vicinity for offenders, with the result that this morning Inspector Langley appeared with a gang of boatmen and boat women at the Magistracy, and on proof of the charges against them they were each fined $7.
