Therefore we wish to call particular attention to the fact, that it may receive as much support as possible. It is our generous purpose to distribute the supplement to our regular subscribers.

In this way they will be able to form some idea of the style of rowing which their rivals pursue. Capt. "Bob Cook" will be with them as coach most of the time while they remain at the river.
