...afternoon the University eight paddled over the regular four-mile course, and the Freshman crew rowed over the two-mile course. The University row was not a time trial as a low stroke was continually maintained and the men were paddling easy. The four miles were covered, however, in 23 minutes and 25 seconds, which is good considering the head tide that was running. As a whole the practice was very satisfactory to Coach Wray. The crew was well together, resulting in a powerful stroke with a quick finish. No time was taken for the Freshman eight. A mile race...

Bacon '10 did not make the trip owing to a slight illness, but is expected to arrive tomorrow. Coach Wray will probably take his place in the morning row. Captain Wodell and Stroke Wallis of the Yale university eight paid a visit to the Harvard quarters shortly after dinner today. Tomorrow the regular routine work, consisting of a short row in the morning, followed by a long paddle in the afternoon, will begin for all the crews...
