Papers of which the past existence and actions had been anything but religious, caught the infection and sneered at that of which they knew nothing, and having used their war-worn phrases, passed them on to the Bungtown Clarion and sheets...
...sparring-room is occupied part of the morning, and during the entire afternoon by men taking instruction. Moreover, reduce the price of the sparring lessons from eighty to thirty-five cents apiece, as the petition demands, and you will see the less wealthy men of the college avail themselves in great numbers of the opportunities afforded them to learn the sport at the reduced price...
