...Howard Pyle on the "Impressment of American Seamen." Mr. Gibson's "Jack Frost's Captive," although portraying a rather startling incident, is one of the best specimens of his work that we have seen. Mr. Abbey's illustration to Mr. Black's novel is hardly in his best manner. Mr. Abbey's picture in the Weekly on the Banishment of the Friends is so very characteristic, that we hope the Harpers will give us an edition de luxe of the number, as the picture is well worth preserving. Prof. Norton; Ernest Ingersoll, Kegan Paul and T. W. Higginson contribute note...
...Bachelder L. S. (blue). The event was well contested, each contestant being repeatedly applauded. Bachelder showed extraordinary strength, trying a feat, turn and catch, never before seen in the gymnasium. The quickness of Dudley was particularily noticeable. Dudley gave the giant swing in a very easy manner and was saluted with tumultuous applause. The prize was awarded to dudley. Dudley was particularily easy in his manner on the bar and showed very chean and careful work. Osgood showed careful preparation in some of the minor parts of his exhibition but failed in the more difficult feats. While the horizontal...

"Are you sound at the core" is their text. Second, the new A. B. is placed in a quasi electric light of criticism which magnifies imperfections and leaves beauties normal size. Third, the A. B. herself possesses...
...85.The usual delay in starting was repeated, but the audience remained seated in a commendable manner. The first attempt at a drop was a failure. It is claimed that the '85 team were not in position when Dr. Sargent, the referee, gave the word, and therefore was totally unprepared. After some discussion the doctor decided that the pull should be tried over again, giving, as a reason, that Baker of the '84 team was already down before he said the word heave. When the drop came, '85 had the advantage by an inch or two. This they kept for some...
...still making his longer reach tell. He showed considerable quickness. Kimball showed more skill. The third round was decidedly in Kimball's favor. Coolidge was wild and flustered and struck the air or his opponent's gloves many times. Kimball, quietly and coolly, sparred in a business-like manner, which used up Coolidge before the end. Kimball was awarded the round...
