...Weld undoubtedly shows the best form of any crew on the river, and in spite of several changes is travelling fast and on even keel, a thing which few other crews have secured. Their snap and life are especially notable. Wheel-wright has recently given place to Locke, who sent Gray from 2 to 4. The present order is probably final: Stroke, Evans (capt.); 7, Brainerd; 6, Burton; 5, Ivins; 4, Gray; 3, DuBois; 2, Locke; bow, Blake; cox., Goodwin...
...well together and especially strong in the stern four, all of whom pulled on last year's Freshman crew, but there is a marked tendency throughout the boat to clip and to lower the hands on the recover, which prevents an even keel. This has been improved by long rows, the crew having paddled the two mile course every day during the last week. The order has been unchanged since the crew first went on the water: Stroke, Bancroft (capt.); 7, Ladd; 6, Shuebruk; 5, Emory; 4, Colby; 3, Grew; 2, Brooks; bow, Covel; cox., Boothby...
...finished at either end with a carved scroll. The machinery equipment consists in a Seabury patent safety water tube boiler of about 100 horse power, and a Seabury triple expansion condensing engine with an 8-inch stroke of 75 horse power, independent air and feed pump and copper outboard keel condenser. She has steel coal-bunkers on each side of the engine and a boiler running fore and aft, capped with wood. The boiler is fitted with a double stack, the outer stack being polished brass, and fits over a nipple on the boiler, the stack being provided with handles...
...contract speed is 14.5 knots per hour, but a higher rate is hoped for. To obtain this a remarkably large propeller will be used, the blades of which are protected by a deep false keel. The boat differs from the new Weld launch in that she has a round stern and is intended to travel on her own wave, which it is admitted will be a large one. The Weld launch, on the contrary, is designed to make a small wave which will be of advantage to the crews...
