...operation of launching and housing an eight-oar is at present attended with considerable difficulty, which will be done away with when the bridges...

In '69 the trial was hardly a satisfactory one, being out of course in that but four-oared boats represented the two clubs. The wish now is to enter an eight-oar with coxswain against your full University boat.

For private reasons, Mr. Watson has been unable to coach the crew this year, and no new coach...
