HORIZONTAL BARS.The contest in this, the first event of the afternoon, was a good one, and compared favorably with the exhibitions of skill and muscle in former years. The entries were: H. Swain, '88; A. T. Dudley, '87; G. L. Barney, s. s.; F. B. Myers, '90, and R. T. Osgood, '87. Osgood performed some very dexterous feats, and was given first prize; Dudley was second...

...Second Winter Meeting was as creditable to the able management of the H. A. A. as was the meeting a week ago. The feather-weight sparring was extremely interesting, and so was the light-weight contest. But we wish that a little more "science" had been displayed in the latter, while retaining the same amount of vigor and pluck. We believe that while boxing may be pleasant for our lady friends to witness, "slugging," or any approach to it, should vigorously be excluded, and, therefore, we hope that next year some method may be contrived by which none but feather...
