A recent number of the New York Herald contains an article on the Columbia crews which gives a very fair idea of what the oarsmen of that college are doing:

"Captain Cowles was particularly fortunate in having but one vacancy to fill on the crew this year - that caused by the graduating of E. T. Lynch, who rowed No. 4 last year - and four men still remained who had taken part in the race of 1881. These old and well tried oarsmen were W. A. Moore, D. E. Reckhart, H. R. Muller and Captain Cowles himself. The 1882 new comers, who had been well tested and found up to the mark, were E. Fitzgerald, D. P. Porter and W. Wheeler. The crew is seated in the following order:

Name. Age. H't. W't.

G. E. Fitzgerald, bow 22 5.08 155

D. E. Reckhart, No. 2 22 5.11 178

W. A. Moore, No. 3 23 5.09 172
