BLAKEY is building a six-oared gig for the New York Rowing Club, a four-oared shell for S. Paul's School, two four-oared gigs for class crews at Bowdoin, seven single sculls for different persons, and a pair-oared gig for the Freshman Class...

In the fifth story of Thayer we find a man with a large Liddell and Scott before him, and a green shade over his eyes. He must be a Freshman. We enter a room in Weld, where one occupant looks up from his solitary pipe to inform us that his chum has gone out to take a run up to Porter's for crew-training...
