...work, rowing. The weather has been very bad, all but two days, so as to interfere seriously with the rapid improvment of the rowing. However, it seems as though some progress has been made, but it is much less than was hoped for, before the recess. Saturday, the wind and water were so bad, that the crew did not row in the afternoon.

They begin with the chest weights, practice hurdling at different heights, go through the dumb-bell drill, practice starting in the cage, and wind up with a short run. There are some very promising candidates and it seems as though the Harvard men should get a large majority of the novice events, as well as the handicaps, in the B. A. A. Meeting.
