...launch was to have followed the crews yesterday afternoon, but had hardly steamed away from her moorings when the high pressure cylinder valve again broke and necessitated her return. She will be repaired in time for rowing this afternoon. The trouble arises from the self-oiling action which becomes clogged with dust, but with a little use this will work without trouble...
...University launch was brought up from Lawley's yesterday afternoon, reaching the boat-house at 3 p. m. She could not be used, however, for coaching the crews on account of an accident to the high pressure cylinder valve, which happened just as she reached her mooring. The repairs will probably be completed in time for today's rowing...
...launch is white with a temporary yellow funnel which will later be replaced by a smaller one of brass. She is 51 feet long, with pointed stern, two cock pits, the forward one being slightly larger than that of the Frank Thomson. She has a Roberts boiler and a self-oiling engine, large coal lockers and a capacity for carrying 250 gallons of water. Her screw makes 50 more revolutions per minute than that of the Frank Thomson and her speed is guaranteed at 14 knots. An official trial to determine this will take place in the Easter recess...
...launch was yesterday afternoon taken a short distance down the harbor by Mr. Lawley on a trial trip. She was not pushed for speed, but ran smoothly and well until the tail-head guide of the low pressure cylinder broke and obliged her to return to the yard.

...Tues., Thurs. and Sat., 4.30-5.15; 1900--Mon., Wed. and Fri., 5.15-6.00; Law School--Tues., Thurs., and Sat., 5.15-6.00. In the time allotted to each crew, the second as well as the first will receive the attention of the coaches. The new launch will be used by the graduate coaches, Mr. J. J. Storrow '85, Mr. G. S. Mumford '87, and Mr. H. W. Keyes '87 on alternate days...
