...gives me great pleasure to welcome the Quizzical Club in behalf of the paper we all love. You all know what the Tramp is and has been, - the organ of stalwartism, the friend of those great statesmen, Logan and Cameron. WE took away from Hayes the prospect of a second term; WE have inaugurated J. G.; and, if you remember, WE seated our honored chairman [applause] in the gubernatorial chair. 'The Union must and shall be preserved,' the poet says. We condemn secession, and we refuse to place any confidence in those who lately sought to destroy the national government...
...York, and agreed that such a race would be desirable. Columbia deeming herself hardly warranted in issuing a challenge, though she would be glad to accept one, Harvard agreed to waive all formality in the matter, and the challenge has accordingly been sent.

This is probably due to the fact that because one or two men excel on these pieces of apparatus, every one else thinks that there will be no chance for him, and therefore he will not enter. Now this is just...
...special prize for general excellence, should call out many new gymnasts; while the combination on the last day, of Dr. Sargent's Exhibition with the regular meeting of the Association, ought seemingly to be a great success. The change in price was a step that (with no prospect of raising the debt of the Association, unless some such move was taken) cannot fail to meet the approval of every one who looks at it fairly. The provision for having reserved seats in the gallery, by which the confusion and crowding of last year will be largely obviated, is also commendable...
