Davy is also building two new shells for Yale, one of which will be delivered this week. It is sixty feet long, of Spanish cedar, and is rigged after the English fashion, with seats set a little off the keel...

The conditions were excellent, enabling the eight to make the best time of the season, 18m., 53s.
