...June 15.--The weather here yesterday was fine with a slight wind blowing up stream and freshening in the afternoon. Both crews went out for short stretches in the morning and soon returned to take examinations. Gregg replaced Smith at bow in Brownell's boat. In the afternoon the four-oar went out in their new shell which proved very satisfactory. Later the Freshmen rowed in their new Davy shell and were coached from the launch by Blake and H. Bancroft. They then started at the point with the University crew and raced over the first half of the four...

After a short rest they returned to the Boathouse in one stretch, raising the stroke to a strong spurt at the finish. Tew has been out of the boat for about a week as he is suffering from a touch of grippe. Richmond has been taking his place at stroke. The crew shows a tendency to plunge forward on the catch which causes the unsteadiness of the boat. The work of the crew at present seems to indicate that...
