...Finney, M, S., were the first two contestants. Bowen had stronger arms and a better body. Finney was more solid in the legs and weighed about as much as Bowen. Bowen won the first fall in less than a minute, getting a neck hold and hip lock. This was done so quickly that Finney was taken by surprise, and was on his back almost before he knew it. The men faced each other again, and this time their work showed them to be very evenly matched. Bowen, however, acted more on the offensive than Finney. For ten minutes they worked...

...such needless exposure is two fold: 1st. As certain parts of the body are chilled, the circulation of the blood becomes irregular, and the heart is liable to ge affected. The captains, however, can avoid this danger by compelling their men to wear more clothing, especially around the neck, arms and legs. 2d.
