...with a peroration replete with high moral sentiments, and attaches to the argument a kind of "preventer backstay" in the following quotation from Scripture: "The Lord delighteth not in the strength of the horse, and taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man." As an equally apposite argument, though not of so high authority, I would suggest that haste makes waste; there are those that go out for wool and come home shorn; the pitcher that goes too often to the home base has his nose broken at last; every tub should stand upon its own bottom...

It was well done and deserves praise, though, if they had been trained as the crew of this year has been, and will continue to be, they would have rowed the last...
