...whole, everything seems to be tending to a good freshman nine. The men are thoroughly imbued with a spirit of work and are regular in their attendance at exercise. On Thursdays and Saturday's the men play hand ball in the cage in squads of four, and bat the sand bags. On the other week days the chest weights and dumb bells are used. On Wednesdays all the candidates take a long walk. Every day a fast quarter mile is taken on the track in the gymnasium...

In the second round the made a brace which availed him nothing. He was knocked out in the third...

The eloquence of the speaker is necessary to give force to the subject matter of the lecture on the Workingman. As a whole, the work makes the best use of the arguments at hand, but there is an element of sophisty in the treatment of the weaker points in the subject...
