...University crews have been on the river daily during the past week under the direction of Coach Wray. Owing to the mild weather the amount of work has been increased and there has been a general improvement. Up to this time the second crew, composed of last year's Freshman eight, has shown the better form. The men are swinging fairly well together but are not getting enough power from their leg drive. Farley's boat has a tendency to clip the stroke at the finish and several of the men are not catching the water quick enough. Yesterday...
...trial eights were on the river yesterday, and were coached from the "John Harvard" by Captain Bacon, and by Coach Wray, who has just returned from England. Both crews rowed up-stream to the Brighton bridge. Nearly all of the dormitory crews were also on the water. Coach Vail followed the Dunster and Hampden-Beck-Fairfax crews in the "Veritas." Both showed improved strength, but their form is still ragged. The Westmorly crew is at present making the best showing...
...Westmorly crew rowed with possibly the best form, and the crews of Holworthy and Russell also showed good speed and finish.

Most of the crews were coached in short stretches, as the men are not yet seasoned sufficiently for continuous rowing...

...Peck spoke first of numerous disasters along the coast, describing vividly the storm of November, 1898, in which the life-saving crews had not only to perform their usual duty of saving shipwrecked crews, but also to rescue cottagers, whose homes were demolished. In that storm the entire crew of the pilot-boat "Columbia" was lost, and the wreck is now on exhibition at Scituate. Mr. Peck showed numerous pictures of surf to demonstrate the dangers undergone in launching life-boats. One of the slides was a fac-simile of a letter written by the keeper of Minot's Ledge...
