With our splendid new equipment nothing further is needed, except the hearty support of every man who believes in out-door sport under ideal conditions. Singles, pair-oars, four-oars and eight-oars are at the disposal of the members, who will be formed into a more solid organization than ever before; and made personally responsible for the well-being of the club.
