FEATHER-WEIGHT SPARRING.F. P. Clement, '88; L. S. Thayer, '88; W. H. Dame, '90, and E. W. Grew, '89, the winner of the bout with A. C. Coolidge, '87, at the last meeting, were the contestants in the feather-weight sparring...
...First Bout - Thayer and Dame sparred the first bout. The first round was quickly opened by Thayer who got in a body blow on his opponent. Dame replied with some straight leads with his left which reached home nearly every time. Thayer was quick on countering and ducked in a puzzling way.

The bout was opened by Bowen, who got Hunter down, and spent much time in ineffectual efforts to put him on his back. Hunter showed great strength, and, turning the tables when Bowen had him by the neck, won a neat fall in nine minutes and thirty-five seconds...
