...Weld showed much improvement over the form shown in their former race with the B. A. A. They had a firm, hard catch and rowed well together. Dobyns at stroke rowed a very heady race, keeping the stroke high, but at the same time making it strong and long. Blake and Coleman also rowed a particularly good race. The B. A. A. was somewhat slow on the shoot, but rowed together well and finished strong...
...excellent suggestion to set aside a part of the field for cricket, and it is extremely advisable that those interested in the game petition the Athletic Committee for some such arrangement. There is plenty of room on the field for a crease which, if it were on firm, level ground, could be taken care of with but little trouble and expense.

To all those who know anything about the inside workings of the club, it is apparent that there is ample room for improvement. Care should be taken that only such men be chosen as are firm and unsubservient in character. Furthermore, there is a danger that the board of directors be too largely composed of waiters, who cannot, on account of their position, act with the same independence as other members of the club. Enough representative men have been nominated to avoid the election...
