...most anxiously awaited event of the evening was the final bout of the Middle Weight Sparring contest between Lee, '83, and Page, '83. Both men appeared in excellent trim, Page looking especially fine, but both seemed afraid of one another, and very few blows were given in this round. In the first bout of the second round Page received a heavy blow on the eye, after which both men warmed to their work. Lee succeeded in getting in some telling strokes. At one time, having shown a strong desire to "slug" one another, the men were promptly hissed. Page...
...noticeable for its ease and grace, and received much applause; for some time it seemed as if he would be the victor. As the bar ascended from time to time and the athletes successfully vaulted it, the enthusiastic audience showed its approbation by hearty applause. In the tenth round Morison failed and withdrew. One by one the contestants withdrew, until all had left but Soren and Atkinson.

...final bout of the Light Weight Sparring was fought by Spalding, '82, and Butler, '83. The first round was very exciting. Spalding sparred pluckily, and showed himself to be a master of the art of dodging, while his counters were frequent and forcible. When time was called for the second round both men appeared fresh and little troubled by their previous bouts. In this round Spalding got in some good work, and by rapid and forcible hitting succeeded in confusing Butler to such an extent that the latter hardly knew where he was striking. In the third round Butler seemed...
...Lowman and Heilbron contested the final and only bout immediately after the standing high jump. Heilbron had the slight advantage of being the taller, but Lowman was very plucky, and succeeded in reaching the face of his taller adversary very forcibly. In the first part of the second round Lowman was floored by a well-directed blow on the temple from Heilbron. After this Lowman sparred more cautiously, and made several good blows. In the third round both men came up to the scratch smiling and did some very good work on each other's faces. The bout was awarded...
