...second winter meeting, held on Saturday, was marked by one of the poorest as well as one of the best sparring bouts held in the gymnasium this year. The Athletic Association is always ready to urge new men to come forward, and it offers every means in its power by which the standard of indoor and outdoor athletics may be raised. An exhibition, however, like the first one in sparring on Saturday, which was devoid of every appearance of the slightest scientific excellence, cannot help but have an effect opposed to the purposes for which the meetings are held...

For a good man for a short job you must pay good wages. It is the poorest sort of economy, with a complicated Herreschoff engine, to engage a second rate engineer. As a matter of economy I should advise hiring the best man to be had, even if were necessary to pay him half as much again as we paid our engineer last spring...
