Page five of this issue includes a rather lengthy article concerning boxing entitled:  "Base Ball - the Opening Day of the Excelsior Club".

Another article found within this issue and entitled: "Our Chess Department" includes a "problem of the week" and the answer to the previous weeks' problem.

This 16 page issue also includes some Civil War reports as well as other sports items, including boxing, cricket, and horse racing.  Although this issue is in nice condition, it has several tears throughout.
