...high stroke. On the first sprint the stroke was rapidly put up to 33 to the minute, and in the stretch extending from below the Stillman Infirmary to the boathouse it was raised to 36. The crew showed even better form with a high stroke than with a low, although it tended naturally to clip the stroke a little at the finish...
...changes were made in the Freshman eights during the week. Cutler and Snedeker have stroked the first and second crews respectively ever since they have been on the river; Hooper has continued to hold down seven, and Forster two on the first boat. Although the first crew rows fairly well, it is palpably weak in certain points; it fails to keep the boat on any sort of even keel, washes out on the finish by feathering under water, and hurries the slides back before the catch has fully been made...
...Waspe, his testy guardian, who calls for the license at John Littlewit's.

Although saddled with such a financial burden, Boston is in many respects one of the most fortunate communities on earth. The metropolitan park system, consisting of some seventy parks and playgrounds, is one of the finest in the world; the system of boulevards connecting the metropolitan reservations is nowhere excelled; the metropolitan water system has received encomiums the world over...
