Nelson, Harvard '91, light-weights, were next in the ring. It was more of a walking match than a scientific exhibition. Peters had it all his way. He was given the light-weight cup.

But we wish that a little more "science" had been displayed in the latter, while retaining the same amount of vigor and pluck. We believe that while boxing may be pleasant for our lady friends to witness, "slugging," or any approach to it, should vigorously be excluded, and, therefore, we hope that next year some method may be contrived by which none but feather...
