Author was "Amateur Champion on Flying Rings from 1885 to 1892, inclusive." (16)+70+(43) pages, with many small woodcut illustrations throughout. The initial 16 pages are a catalog of the numerous titles in the Spalding's Athletic Library series, while the final 43 pages consist of a catalog of Spalding's sports equipment, some related to gymnastics (parallel bars, horizontal bars, swinging rings, etc.). Good condition, with a small chip to top right corner of front wrap, some paper loss at top and bottom of the spine, but clean internally with no owner names and generally a sound copy of an early and fragile gymnastics title.
