...seconds. The row was up stream with a fairly strong wind in favor but no tide. The crew was not well together at the start and the first two miles were slow. Bancroft then raised the stroke to 32 and the last two miles went much better. The chief fault was that the men did not apply the power together. The crew finished in good shape for the first long row and the work was fairly satisfactory. The time was not especially good, considering the conditions...
...Fincke gave Born one run, but the others were the result of hard hitting. Harvard, however, scattered here five bits, and got all the runs on errors. Poor base running lost Harvard one run and a failure to sacrifice at the right time lost another. The most inexcusable fault was the effort of most of the men to make long drives and their consequent inability to pick out good balls and place the hits...

Ayer is ragged in his blade work and somewhat awkward. Davis feathers under water, and clips badly. Loud has Snite's fault of failing to get his oar near the water at the catch, and he swings too far back at the finish. Emory is very effective, but awkward. Blake, Foster and Smith all seem to lack a strong finish to the stroke. Goodell feathers under water badly, and McGrew is slow...

Freedom of the press there has a real meaning, for the columns of the daily newspapers are used constantly by a watchful public as one means of securing faithful public servants. This is brought about by incessant criticism and fault-finding, that to the American mind is very distasteful. That it is so is our misfortune; for only by opting English methods can we reach the desired results. Perfect fearlessness in casting a searching light on evil-doers helps wonderfully to create a sense of responsibility for the equitable management...
