...University crew, as usual, stayed in New Haven during the greater part of the recess. On Wednesday morning of last week they took their annual spring stroke-down, rowing about twelve miles without a break, in the barge. Sliding seats were used in this row for the first time this year, but the distance allowed to each man was limited to a few inches. The last row before breaking up, was taken on Saturday morning in a driving rain storm. Form that time until Wednesday afternoon by a four-mile pull in the harbor. All the coaching was done...

The ice is just beginning to break up in the river, and the state of Holmes and Jarvis is anything but satisfactory for the prospects of the base-ball and lacrosse teams. The lesson to be drawn from this state of affairs is perfectly plain. It has been too often called to our notice to require much elaboration...
ROPE CLIMBING.G. A. Pudor, '86, had a walk-over in this event. In attempting to break the Harvard record, 20 7-8 seconds, he got entangled in the safety rope when near the ceiling, and lost a few seconds, finally reaching the top in 25 seconds. Mr. Pudor made a record of 22 3-4 seconds in this event last year...
