...these handled the clubs with the ease of Hamlin or Barnes. Kent attempted more difficult feats than his opponent, and his muscular arm seemed never to tire. Toward the last of the five minutes Luce made more frequent changes. The prize was awarded to Barnes, whose swinging has seldom been equalled in the gymnasium...
