...wish to thank those gentlemen who so kindly offered especial prizes through the association. The gentleman who offered the General Development prizes instituted a custom which was very beneficial, and which I hope will be continued. The gentleman who offered the prize for general excellence in sparring, and the one who offered one for wrestling, did a great deal to embrace the interest in those exercises...
