FLYING RINGS.Bachelder, L. S., Walker, '84, Allen, '84, and Pudor, '86, were competitors in this event. The exhibition was good, though somewhat long; Allen won applause by lifting himself up with either hand, and by holding himself extended with arms behind his back. Walker's form was good, and his feats showed strength and skill. As Batchelder was barred, the event was given to Walker...
...contested by A. C. Coolidge and G. W. Kimball, both of '87. The two freshmen appeared to be very evenly matched in the first round. Coolidge's round-arm blows coming in occasionally with telling effect. Kimball gave some hard body blows. The second bout showed Coolidge puffing somewhat, but still making his longer reach tell.

The entire relegation of the arguer part of the work of the freshman year to the preparatory schools is avowedly one of these changes, but one which will probably require some years for its complete adoption. With the crying anomaly of freshman year abolished, Harvard will have advanced...
...contested rounds with an opponent of equal merit with himself. A notable instance of a similar nature occurred at a winter meeting two years ago, at which the winner of the first bout, one of the best boxers that Harvard has ever produced, being entered also to wrestle, and somewhat exhausted, was incapable of competing again on the same afternoon. The finish of the match was therefore postponed by the referee, a decision which gave general satisfaction to the spectators and which resulted at the next meeting in a much better exhibition of sparring than would otherwise have been seen...
