POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., June 11.- The 'Varsity crew rowed another trial today over the four-mile course. The conditions of wind and tide were favorable and the time made was much better than that of Saturday's trial.

...afternoon, although the wind was very high, Mr. Lehmann had the crew paddle by fours across the river to a comparatively calm stretch under the lee shore opposite Krum Elbow. Here the crew paddled along the shore with frequent bursts of speed. One stretch of two minutes of rowing was tried, in which the crew maintained a stroke of 38 throughout. The rest of the time was spent in comparatively easy rowing...

The College crew stopped rowing after going a mile, and the 'Varsity continued alone. The water in the basin was very rough, and, after three miles, the boat became so heavy that it was deemed advisable to stop at the Bradford Boat Club and empty it. After a short stop, the shell...
