...more lockers were added. Each year the number of boats has been increased and several new shells have been made this summer. Mr. Weld has always taken great interest in the club since he founded it and presented us with the boat house; and this year we understand that he intends to arrange for a series of races between crews of the club and those of the Union and Boston Athletic clubs. If this project is carried through it will result in a number of interesting races, well worth the trying for positions in the crews. We suggest to members...

Cook to the effect of a fast team row last Thursday is a great mistake to say the least. It is hard to understand how he could possibly be so mistaken.

We understand perfectly that the class nines incur expenses which have to be defrayed somehow; and that the easiest way to get subscriptions is by charging gate money. Nevertheless, anyone who saw the very small crowd at the final game yesterday, a crowd consisting largely of fellows who had friends with them, must have felt that even if the expenses were saved something else was lost. The enthusiasm was (for a class game) reduced to a minimum. When...
