p. 37 · Read in the full issue
From Our Own Correspondent SUVA, March 6.
THE wrestling boom has hit Fiji in recent months, and many American matmen are finding it convenient and profitable to stop over here when en route between Australia and New Zealand and the United States. Several first-class bouts have been staged both in Suva and Lautoka.
Open air stadiums capable of seating several thousand people have been erected in both places, and every match draws a huge crowd. Such well-known wrestlers as Tony Catalino, Harban Singh, Tony Lamaro, Jagat Singh and Wong Buck Cheung are seen in action.
Mr. K. W. Steedman, legal manager of Upper Sepik Gold Syndicate N.L., left Sydney by the March Montoro for New Guinea. He will confer with Messrs.
Spence and Smith, of Wau, consulting en gineers to the syndicate, and meet ven dors to determine which of the several options under offer to the Upper Sepik company shall be taken up.
