...Stroke fail on the catch, and the finish is slovenly throughout the boat. There is a tendency to overreach and not to sit up straight. Nos. 2 and 3 are especially faulty in this respect, both rowing with rounded backs...

Suppose a man lives sixty or seventy miles from Cambridge, and does not wish to incur the expense necessary to going each week, yet wishes to go at irregular intervals throughout the year. He cannot.

(The fact is, there...
