...there is a large crimson and blue flag, standing directly out of the river, and as we steam up the course we pass them at every half-mile. Most of these flags disappeared after the races last year, and in some mysterious way turned up in Cambridge, where they form very interesting souvenirs of Harvard's victories. At the two-mile flag, where the freshman race is started, we see Point - - on the left, and the New London Navy Yard on the right, where the old man-of-war "Florida" used to be anchored.

It is under the average weight. Nevertheless, the men are rowing in much better form than last year's crew, and are the most faithful set of men in training I have ever handled.
