This class was composed of men' who had some knowledge of the "mitt game" and was promoted for the purpose of securing teaches of the manly art who in turn would impart their knowledge to the novice. It is a well recognized fact thut boxing is similar to bayonet lighting and Col. 12. S. Butfs. commander of the Thirtieth regiment?to " whom much credit is given in the organization of this class?saw ai once the. manv advantages such an organization would have in turning out Individual instructors.
