...looseness and awkwardness about his shoulders; he gets his hands away from his body too slowly, and is consequently inclined to bucket. Simmons uses his slide too soon in the recover, and seems unable to get down between his legs when on the full reach. Stow constantly fails to keep his shoulders firmly back, and has a trick of meeting his oar. He and Simmons, while strong promising men, are still too green to be fairly criticised. Preston's extraordinary length of limb renders it impossible to discuss his rowing on the same principles with that of the others...
...captain of Holyoke. There can be no doubt that, had the other captains worked as faithfully for their clubs as has Mr. LeMoyne for his, the quick interest of two years ago would still exist. Mr. LeMoyne is, moreover, occupied with his work on the University, yet manages to keep his men steadily practising; while the captains of Weld and Holworthy, who have no such conflicting duty, still find their ease too precious to be intrenched upon by anything so disagreeable as that work at the Gymnasium which their position requires of them.

LeMoyne is the shortest and lightest candidate, but does his full share of the work: should he part with his faults, he will make an efficient oar. Crocker reaches around with his outside shoulder, but keeps his back in good shape, gets a good catch, and carries...
...into which you had been received in New England Buoy would be quite out of place. But Neophogen is not Boston. At Neophogen Buoy was the best obtainable, and a useful man to know - I do not think I need say any more on the score of acquaintances. Only keep this simple rule in mind: if you desire to be a man of fashion, do not neglect the Buoys and the Stickers of society wherever you happen to meet them...
