There will also be an esplanade constructed by the City of Boston, extending from Charles Bank park to Charlesgate East, making a drive and walks in the rear of Brimmer and Beacon streets. On the Cambridge side an embankment park, for which the land has already been purchased, will come nearly to the dam. The contracts call for completion of the work by July...

No attempt was made for fast time, as Mr. Colson is confining his attention merely to form. The first crew rowed a three-mile race down stream with the Freshmen.

Immediately after the race the Cornell men aided those whom they had just defeated in getting their shell from the boat-house back into...

At the 1 1-2 mile the second Newell was almost a length of open water ahead of the first Weld and rowing well together at a 30 stroke. The first Newell was hopelessly behind, showing no drive or ability to keep together. At the finish the second Newell was a length and a half of open water ahead of the first Weld; the first Newell by a spurt at the finish came in about three lengths behind...
