...orders in which the crews will probably row in the race are as follows...
There will be 31 tiers of seats and 38 aisles, each three feet three inches wide and 33 feet from centre to centre. Behind the highest row of seats will be a promenade 50 feet above the ground. A covering 22 feet high will eventually be built over this promenade, making the total height of the Stadium in that part 72 feet or practically twice the height of the old grand stands...
...GALES FERRY, June 15.--This afternoon the University crew took a hard row down-stream under favorable conditions. The time was 21m. 9s. The work showed much improvement, especially in watermanship. The Freshman eight went over the first mile of the course with the University boat, and by rowing a somewhat higher stroke, finished half a length ahead of it.

Ober replaced Swaim, who is slightly indisposed, at bow this morning, but Swaim took his place again during the time row this afternoon...

Before the end of the work the crew was rowing in the best form it has shown so far. The hitch between strokes was less noticeable and the spacing much improved. This afternoon's work ended in a mile time row under favorable conditions, the time, 5m. 25s., being a slight improvement over that made for any mile in either...
