...former, who upset directly in front of the boat house. The third race was an open canoe contest, single blades. Herrick, '90, and Cheney, '92, entered and made a very even race, but Herrick finally getting the inside course gained about half a length which he held to the end. Time 9 minutes, 5 3-5 seconds. The fourth event was open to members of the Puritan club and was limited to open canoes, single blade. As only one man appeared, the race was a walkover. The fifth and sixth events were also walkovers. Stickney was the only contestant...

The andante was especially well liked as its broad nature gave the men ample chance for deep feeling and emotion. The applause which greeted Mr. Kneisel and his men at the end of the concert may be taken as evidence that Cambridge people appreciate the efforts of this organization here not a little.
