...many respects the coming month is one of the best of the year for outdoor sports, especially for canoeing. The cool afternoons ought to serve as an inducement for many of the lovers of the double-blade to launch their craft on the river and start for a pleasant paddle up toward Watertown, or down into the rougher water of the harbor. The Canoe Club made a good beginning last spring, by holding a successful regatta; why cannot the experiment be repeated this fall? There can certainly be no better way to arouse interest in the sport. The number...
...proper place in the estimation of American college men. Its advantages are so apparent, and the pleasure and profit to be derived from its pursuit is so obvious that description is useless. Suffice is it to say that no one who has once experienced the fascinations of the double blade has ever failed to become its warm admirer...
This spring the Oxford University crew experimented with a new set of oars, designed by the Rev. E. Warre. These oars after a peculiar fashion and their strangeness consists in their being much broader near the shoulder than at the extreme end of the blade. The advantage claimed for them is that the whole blade takes the water at once, instead of only a small corner of it-as is the case of some men with the oars now in use-also that the whole blade leaves the water at once, thus minimizing the chance of feathering under water...

Most of those enumerated were formerly on college papers. Cushing, Burton, Heilbron, Wingate, Bolles, Chase, Holman and Dillenback were all formerly editors of the Harvard Echo. Heilbron, Wingate, Chase and Coolidge are old editors of the Harvard Herald...
...enjoy than two fours or eights; the crews in proper form and well trained; rowing in time, with proper reach and grip; a clean pull through the water, feather without ripple; and, above all, good execution, or the knowledge of just when to apply the power while the blade of the oar is in the water. We cannot better illustrate this than by referring to the Yale crew of 1883. A more magnificent body of men physically never sat in a shell. But what was the use of this combination of strength, length of reach, and power of endurance, when...
