...ROGERS.H. A. A. Contestants in the first winter meeting must be weighed at the gymnasium Saturday morning, between 8 and 9, or between 10 and 12 o'clock. A second prize will be given as usual in any event (except sparring, wrestling and fencing), which has five or more entries...
...violins; another is a tutti in the second two of the minuet. The performance was a little rugged at times, perhaps owing to the presence of several new members among the violins.

...does not get enough life or power. His finish is weak, and he lets his knees wobble. The trouble with the crew as a whole is, that they do not get a hard enough finish, and that they are very slow in starting forward. Then the time of all, except the stern men, might be improved on without harming anything. Of the crew that is rowing now, Adams, Hale, Purdon, Churchill, and Thomas have rowed in one or more races. Bancroft has never pulled in a race, but was second substitute at New London last spring. All the others...
