EXCEPT for the unfortunate accident in the Heavy-Weight Sparring, the last day of the Winter Meeting was as successful, though not as interesting, as the previous ones. The fact that there was only one entry in each of the wrestling-classes, and that therefore no cup was given, is a text for some criticism on the clause in the Constitution of the Athletic Association which directs that there shall be no prizes awarded for walk-overs. It certainly seems that if the one entry is the only man who has taken enough interest in the event to train...
...American college athletes, who would do well to imitate the care with which the Cambridge and Oxford men prepare and train for these athletic contests. At the Cambridge University Sports, on March 9, Mr. E. L. Lucas, Jesus, succeeded in running 100 yards in 10 secs., thus beating the previous English amateur best on record held by Junker by one-fifth of a second, and placing the English and American amateur records at the same figure. On the same occasion, Mr. R. H. Macauley, King's, cleared 5 ft. 9 in. in the Running High Jump, which is better...

...fifth event was the deciding bout of the Middle Weight Sparring between Mr. W.A. Gaston '80, the champion of last year, and Mr. Brigham, '80, the winner of the previous bout. This contest was not so interesting as was anticipated, as Gaston was not by any means up to his form of last year. He was rather quicker in his leads than Brigham, but the latter's counters were more effective, and the cup was finally awarded him at the end of the three rounds...
...Morrison, and Sawyer (anchor). The first pull was won, after a sharp struggle, by '83, in 40 seconds, amidst great excitement. After a short rest the teams changed sides, and made ready for the second tug, which '82 secured by hard work in the same time as the previous one, 40 seconds. The final bout was won, amid great excitement, by '82. The meeting then broke up with nine cheers for Mr. Augustus Hemenway...
