Saturday was a perfect day for boating and the 'varsity and class crews were out early in the afternoon. Several of the 'varsity men went out in pair-oars at first: Shaw '94 and Vail '93, with Captain Perkins as coach, were in one boat, Lynam, M. S., and Newell '94, with C. F. Adams 2d in another; while Powers '92 and Cummings '93 were in a double scull. The men rowed as above until about 4 o'clock when the crew was made up as follows...

Kent '92, centre field; and C. F. E. R. Thomas...

S.; bow, Jones '92. C. F. Adams sat in the coxswain seat and coached the crew. Newell '94 has returned to college and is again training with the crew. On Saturday he and Watriss '92 went out in the pair-oar with Cobb '94 for coxswain. After a while Adams changed places with Cobb and during the rest of the afternoon coached the crew from...
