Preparations for the Big Exhibition Many Athletic Diversions Provided

Clever Amateurs Hard at Work- Those who will participate this evening"

"The Acme Club's big annual exhibition this evening at the Macdonough Theatre......

....quartet of horizontal bar performers...STULTZ, MILLER, WAGOR and COTTON.

....Boxing: JAMES FOX, the clubs undefeated champion feather weight and
JAMES DELANEY will box three rounds and BERT BREION and WM HUGHES an exhibition...

...The wrestling bouts will be between AL LEAN and  JOHN BIRD and LA RUE and CONLAN...

...the crack acrobatic trio LEANDO, STACK and DOWDE are also on the programme for tumbling.

R.P. STARKEY whose work on the triple bars is conceded as unequaled in amateur circles, will give an exhibition with Professor LEANDO, the club instructor.

...the class in pyramids is composed of some of the best athletes of the club. Manager CARROLL will introduce them in a novel way.
They will appear in full evening dress."
