H. A. A.

Second Day.

FEATHER-WEIGHT SPARRING.As Mr. G. H. Heilbron, '83, was the only entry this event was not contested, and the cup was given to Heilbron who has won this event for the past two years.

LIGHT-WEIGHT SPARRING.Final bout. - The final bout of the light-weight sparring was between Page and Ayars, the winners of the previous bouts. Page had an advantage in weight, being about 7 pounds heavier than his antagonist. The latter, however, by the excellent showing which he made in his first bout, was expected to make a good set-to.

First round - The men seemed very evenly matched in this round, Page, however, doing most of the leading, while Ayars countered very prettily. Page sent one of his favorite round shots home with good effect.

Second round - Ayars started proceedings with a lead which took Page full in the face, following it up with several others, while Page did not succeed in sending many of his blows home. Ayars sparred in very good form and elicited loud applause by his skilful leading and parrying.

Third round - Page forced the fighting, but Ayars was very skilful in stopping Page's right with his left and getting in his right with good effect. Page was too heavy, however, and his skill at in-fighting gave him the cup.

Some of the partisans of Ayars showed very poor taste in hissing the decision of the judges.

Ayars made a hard, plucky fight, and we predict for him success before leaving college.

FENCING - (Final Bout.)The final bout in this event was between Mr. Underwood, the winner of the previous bout, and Mr. R. D. Foote, who had drawn the bye. Mr. Underwood was successful in disarming his opponent, but Mr. Foote got more points, and the bout was accordingly awarded to him, with a record of 7 points to 6.

RUNNING BROAD JUMP.There were four entries in this event: W. Soren, '83; C. M. Field, '84; C. O. Lander, '86; L. Lincoln, '86. After a spirited contest Mr. Soren won, with a record of 18 ft. 3 in.

TUG-OF-WAR.The tug-of-war teams were as follows: '83 - H. Lilienthal, 131 1/2 lbs.; W. Fuller, 146 1/2 lbs.; T. C. Bachelder, 149 lbs.; J. H. B. Easton, 170 1/8 lbs., anchor; total, 597 1/8. '84 - J. B. Walker. 145 lbs.; A. R. Crane, 141 lbs.; L. V. LeMoyne, 150 lbs.; G. Kemp, 159 7/8 lbs., anchor; total, 595 7/8. The teams had been practising hard for the past week, and most of the interest of the meeting centred in this event. '84 was for a long time unquestionably the favorite, but during the past week '83's stock had risen so that on Saturday the chances were considered about even, '84 being still a little the favorite.

The word was given at 5.17. '83 won the drop by four inches, but by a sudden heave '84 reduced this lead by an inch. This lead '83 succeeded in retaining till the end of the first minute, and with little change until the end of the second. As soon as the end of the second minute was announced '83 got in a huge heave and gained fully six inches, which it continued to increase till the end of four minutes when they had raised it to a foot. During the next minute, however, '84 gradually reduced this lead and at the end of four and a half minutes it appeared as though she might scrape
