Athletic Commission

Famous quotes containing the words athletic and/or commission:

    The only athletic sport I ever mastered was backgammon.
    Douglas Jerrold (1803–1857)

    Yesterday the Electoral Commission decided not to go behind the papers filed with the Vice-President in the case of Florida.... I read the arguments in the Congressional Record and can’t see how lawyers can differ on the question. But the decision is by a strictly party vote—eight Republicans against seven Democrats! It shows the strength of party ties.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
