| Description |
Last night an enactment of Australian Olympic games in the shape of genuine John Bull pugilism came off with much applause, witnessed by avery respectable and orderly amateur audience. Indeed, this land of promise promises fairly to, one day rival the country orour birth, and from the admirable sets-too in the art of self-defence with the boxing gloves, exhibited last night, we expect by and bye, .. Bell's Life in London and Sport-
ing Chronicle" will become a mark of the ancients.
