Before twelve o'clock people had began to gather in rear windows on Beacon street, and interested spectators chose favorable positions near the finish and waited. At a quarter of one, three tugs were moored at the drawbridge and rapidly filled.

Although the lecture was a thoroughly scientific one, it was not at all too abstruse to be be followed by the novices in the audience...
...quickly raised from this height, however, until Henry failed at 5 feet, Batchelder having previously withdrawn. Buckingham fell out at five feet one inch. Clark, Bradley and Rogers now did some good and graceful jumping. Rogers jumped five feet three and a half inches, but failed to clear half an inch more. Bradley jumped five feet four and seven-tenths inches. Clark then attempted to make up the five inches handicap. Last year Clark, Atkinson and Fogg tied at 5 ft. 8 3-4 in., and much interest was felt whether this record could be bettered. Clark jumped...
