tHE HEAVY- WEIU IIT CONTEST. -We
inadvertently omitted to make mention
last week of the all-round heavy -weight
eohtest, advertised to take place on Wed -
1
Readay of last week, between the noted
he vy-weight athletes, 0. Perrie, of
itrussels, and J. D. McColl, of London.
Mf. Perrie was on hand and had every
pr paration made for the contest. Half
an hour before the time for the match to
eotn, melee Mr. Perrie received a tele-
gram from Mr. McColl, saying he was
si4e, and could notcome. Much to the
disgust of the assembled crowda the
event had, therefore, to be declared off.
It is possible that McColl was sick, but
some doubt this, and are not backward
• in taying that he iS afraid to meet the
Theron boy and ehamnied sickness to
avoid a contest. /tilt. Petrie now claitos
