Good seats for the lecture this evening are still to be obtained either at Sever's or at the door. Price 50 and 75 cents...
...defeated as candidates at the top of the ticket. The plan proposed of holding the committee elections over a day is not altogether satisfactory. It is, to begin with, rather cumbrous, and in addition it is but a half-way measure, as so many offices would still remain to be filled simultaneously. It is quite conceivable, for instance, that the same individual might be nominated for a marshalship and for a literary office, or as chorister. It is to be hoped that a better solution of the difficulty will be suggested...

Last year with four regular eights on the river, to say nothing of the large amount of scrub rowing, there was much confusion in the club house in passing in and out, and still more on the single float. With the new arrangement of boat storage and with the float space doubled, there will scarcely be any serious inconvenience. The Weld is now proving such an excellent rowing school that the importance of making it as attractive as possible can hardly be exaggerated...
