They have learned to distrust all government and to take no interest in political affairs. When they...
...Frank Thomson" had a trial trip yesterday. She went over the regular 1 7-8 miles course, rowed by the crews, down stream, in 8m., 45s., and up stream in 8m., 10s. This is very good time, about 15 knots an hour. The "John Harvard" could never make over 12 knots...
