articles for the two mein contests were signed in the offices of the Hongkong Telegraph this morning. The respective participants are "Sky" Kerrison, Naval Yard Police, and Stoker Eddie Walters. R.N.; and Pte. Mason, R.M.L.I., and C.E.R.A. Lee, R.N.

Kerrison and Walters are to meet in a twenty-round contest for the Welterweight Champion- ship of the Colony. It will be remembered that these men met for a similar contest at the Theatre Royal some little time back, in the course of which Walters sustained an injury to his wrist and had to retire, subsequently issuing a challenge for a fresh fight.

Mason and Lee are to fight for the Middleweight Championship of the Colony; the bout will be of fifter rounds. Kerrison is the actual holder of this Champion- ship, but has waived the title as be prefers to fight in his natural
