POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., June 20.- Saturday afternoon the 'Varsity rowed three miles on time, which will be their last hard work before the race. The conditions were very poor, with a following wind, rough water, and an ebb tide. As a result the boat was half filled with water during the first mile, and the time was slow. From now on all efforts will be devoted to perfecting the time and uniformity of the swing...
...limited so as not to restrict any of the captains or coaches in any way, in the actual management of their teams; for the 'Varsity captains are certainly the men best fitted for their positions in every case, and any such restriction coming from others would be sure to result in the worst kind of mismanagement. In other ways, however, such as the providing for leaders of cheering at games and at the departure of teams for contests away from Cambridge; in taking charge of athletic celebrations, and in the investigation of such affairs as the recent painting...

...Weld intermediate crew won a splendid victory over the strong B. A. A. eight yesterday in a mile and a half race over the regular course, in the fast time of 8m. 4s. The result was somewhat unlooked for, as the B. A. A. crew were regarded as exceptionally fast, three of their men having rowed in the 'Varsity boat at Poughkeepsie last year. They recently defeated the intermediates over the same course and won a hard race from the Millstreams, one of the fastest New England eights, last Saturday. The conditions were fairly good, as there was little tide...
