Mr. Hisa added a primitive Japanese legend entitled, "The Shining Princess...
...past week at New London, with the exception of one or two days, has been decidely above average rowing weather. The principal event of importance with the 'varsity was the trial of the new cedar shell built by Davy. Entirely rigged it weighs 224 pounds, and is far stiffer than the Waters paper shell which weighs at least 25 pounds more. The crew began rowing in the new cedar shell last Thursday and there seems to be considerable satisfaction with it. The English boat will probably be tried this week...

It is of cedar, 61 feet in length, and was built by Davy. It will be ready for use again this afternoon...

Waters is at work on a paper shell which will be very much the same sort of a boat as that used by the '92 'varsity crew. The third shell is being built in Enland by Ruff, the builder who supplies the Oxford crews. This boat will be brought over here as soon...
