BOXING ENTERTAINMENT.
(To the Editor.) Sir,—lf this “boxing entertainment'’ of yours were merely intended as a joke, one might be allowed to excuse it. You say that Jack Johnson and Tommy Burns and Detective Rawle and Scroeant Hutton wore allowed to participate in the “boodle” and hand it over to whomsoever they liked. Now, there is one question I would like to ask. Why are the energies of the police not devoted to more worthy ends, for instance, rifling on footpaths and so forth? The noble art of boxing requires no more from my pen.—l am, ° tC '’ A ONE-TIME BOXER.”
