Lately the crew has been going down stream in the launch to Longwood bridge and from there has rowed to the Union Boat Club and back to the boathouse without stopping. Yesterday the men showed a good deal more vigor than at the end of last week...
Yesterday both Reece and Cutler were tried at stroke in the Freshman boat, and it was decided to take both men to Philadelphia, but Cutler will row in the race. Yesterday his work lacked vigor and he showed a tendency to hang at the catch. The second crew paddled down stream to the Longwood, bridge.
