...race should prove a very interesting one since both crews are wellmatched. Last week the CRIMSON gave the record of the men on the B. A. A. crew, who are for the most part wellknown Harvard 'Varsity oarsmen of former years and who have done considerable rowing on B. A. A. crews since leaving college. Harvard's more exact training should tell in the last end of the race, but if the B. A. A. gets a good lead at the start, as it is expected she will, a two-mile race will give the 'varsity a pretty short time...
...Captain Ed. Griffin, in the steamer Skip Jack, but the crews have not made use of them in speed trials yet. This morning the Harvard-Yale crews went into their boats at 10.30 and spent a couple of hours in rowing short stretches, in which the faults of the oarsmen were corrected by the coaches, and attention given to stroke and form. The Harvard crews pulled over the longest distances, coming down as far as the navy yard, accompanied by the launch, from which the coaches observed the work and gave instructions to remedy visible defects. Yale remained almost within...
SOUTHAMPTON, June 5. - The steamer Paris, from New York, arrived here this evening, after a splendid passage.

Rope-jumping was indulged in on the passage to give the men exercise and keep them to weight. Their meals, which were selected for them, were...
Owing to the lateness of the arrival of the crew Commodore Hastings of the Cornell Navy decided not to take them to Henley tonight as he had intended. The oarsmen will therefore remain at the Western Hotel over night and go to Henley in the morning...
...with a little point jutting out at Rememham, but near the mile-post the river bends sharply to the left, which gives some advantage to the boat starting on the Berkshire side. Being on a short stretch of water, between two locks, there can never be much current. English oarsmen, who have trained on this course, say that when there is no wind, or a cross wind, it takes a four-oared crew about twenty seconds longer to row up than down, which would make the course about ten seconds slower than dead water. During regattas navigation is suspended...
