ROWING.

The Sunday Herald gives an account of a wonderful light-weight six-oar of the Dauntless Boat-Club of New York. Their record shows what training and good management will do. The heaviest man in this crew is 145 pounds in weight, while the stroke and bow each weigh 115, and the average weight of the crew is only 131. Last year they defeated, among others, the Neptune Six, composed of such men as Kennedy of Yale, King of Cornell, Riley the sculler, Johnson, Keator, and Shand, - a crew which in weight, age, and reputation far surpassed them. The record of this plucky little crew is indeed a good one.
