A PLAN for the necessary improvements on the boat-house has been accepted by the Executive Committee of the H. U. B. C., and as soon as an estimate of the cost is made, work will be begun. Beside repairing the floats, bridges, and rests, the upper floor will be much altered. All the small rooms and partitions will be taken down, and the whole floor divided by a partition running from door to door. On one side of this partition will be a bath-room, with two baths and five lavatoirs, a janitor's room, and a large club-room; on the other, there will be twenty-six lockers arranged in five rows, at right angles to the sides. On both sides dormer-windows will be projected, and if more light is needed, skylights will be cut in the roof. If the whole plan as proposed can be carried out with the two thousand dollars given by the Corporation, we shall have a very commodious, convenient, and handsome boat-house. For the last few years nothing has so dampened the spirits of oarsmen and kept so many from rowing as the wretched condition of the boat-house. The removal of this drawback will, we hope, add to the general interest in boating. To keep everything in order hereafter, and to pay the running expenses, certain rules of the H. U. B. C. will be enforced in the spring more strictly than they have been hitherto. The running expenses will amount each year to a little more than five hundred dollars, - four hundred dollars for rent and one hundred dollars for water-rates.
