...third volume of "American History Told by Contemporaries," by Professor A. B. Hart, will be published this fall. It covers the period of National Expansion from 1783 to 1845.

Like the race of last year the outcome of today's contest is pretty generally conceded to one crew. In the opinion of most rowing experts Cornell will have no difficulty in securing the victory today. The futility of prophesying the result of a boat race has been many times proven and any certitude with regard to the race this afternoon is impossible. Other things being equal, however, Cornell should win today...
