The quarters of the crew are about half-way down the course, and numerous opportunities will be offered of seeing Yale pull over the four miles. Before the 30th, Fearon's and Blakey's boats will be tried over the course, and the better boat selected. The old eight has been made much lighter, and stiffness and speed...
