...where it remained until the end of the second minute. During the third minute '83 tried three heaves, but in the two first '86 got in ahead, and gained one and one-half inch. The third heave was about even. '83 now rested an instant, and then gave a hard heave, gaining an inch. At the end of the fourth minute '83 had about three inches, which lead they slowly increased to four inches, which they retained to the end, thus winning the championship for the year...
