Hope and Kerr, whose formidable appearance so intimidated our team last spring, were both unable to play, as were also Cross and Greenfield. The game was remarkable for its few disputes and the general good feeling which prevailed throughout. Mr. W. E. Russell was Harvard's umpire, Mr. Cleuston umpired for All Canada, and Mr. R. M.

For the single-scull-race there was but one entry, Mr. Griswold of '80, and the judges awarded him a cup without obliging him to row over the course.
