literally by members and friends of the
popular social and athletic institution.
The best athletes of the club were present
and performed their respective parts with
vim and enthusiasm which was quickly
impaired to the spectators. In the center
of the lower floor, near the music stand,
an elevated platform was erected, so that

from the spectators were frequent and

In the boxing line the most interesting
was the contest for points between ].
Reay and +. V. Kington, In which they
wore gloves covered with lampblack, and
when they finished their exhibition they
looked like pair of chimney sweeps.
