...these the work of Glendon's crews at the B. A. A. has been the more satisfactory, though Hanlon has secured on the whole better material and bigger men. The schools now especially prominent are, at the B. A. A., Stone's and Mechanic Arts, at the Union, Hopkinson's and Waltham High.

...team is in much better shape than last Saturday, and the hard practice this week has brought great improvement in team work. Captain Mortland, however, is still out of the game with an injured knee and his absence will weaken the defence considerably...
...race of the graded club crews was won in 9m. 20s.,--record breaking time,--yesterday afternoon by the first Weld eight.

The second Newell was third, two lengths and a half behind the Newell first, and one length and a half ahead of the second...

The results have been satisfactory. The new tablets are made of a white material which will not warp under any conditions. The surface is absolutely smooth and may be made to take any color: white, however, will probably be used entirely. The chief value of this invention lies in the fact that where flowers were formerly subject to serious damage by the warping of the cardboard...
