...this race: a four belonging to the Union Boat Club, consisting of Williams, stroke; Morse, 2; Stevens, 3; Eaton, bow, Minot, coxswain:- a four from the Scientific School, with Otis, stroke; James, 2; Thayer, 3; Yznaga, bow; Herrick, coxswain; - and a third crew consisting of Loring, '78, stroke; Bacon, '75, 2; Taylor, '77, 3; Morgan, '78, bow; Jennison, coxswain.

We are sorry to miss Mr. Taylor on the crew...
