Test matches
At the occasion of an athletic competition between Sweden and England on White City Mr. Hutton arranged that Tug of War was included in the program. All matches were held under the English rules which were unfamiliar to the Swedish pullers. Tage Andersson arranged a return match in Sweden. It was agreed that all matches should be pulled under the Swedish and the English rules, in order which to choose for the International Competition.
Meetings
The second meeting of the International Organization, which was agreed to be called the Tug of War International Federation (aronym T.W.I.F.), was held in Stockholm during this visit. As Secretary Hillyard was not present, minutes of this meeting were taken by Rudolf Ullmark. It was agreed to adopt the English Rules for all International Competition, the main reason being the movement over the ground provided more of a spectacle for spectators than the Swedish rules, where there was no movement and the rope was passed through the hands. The meeting drafted a short Constitution for the Tug of War International Federation and appointed Dr. Ullmark as Chairman.
