Little can be said about the work of the crew as a whole, except that they are rowing precisely the same stroke which succeeded so well last year, and which they have been practicing all this spring. Since leaving Cambridge, however, the men have become rather steadier, and have become more shaken together. There is not so much splashing, and the men get their work in better from their stretchers.
There have been several visitors at the quarters during the week. For the first few days Mr. Farley stayed at the house to superintend the examinations which several of the crew were unable to take at Cambridge. This afternoon Messrs. Appleton and Carrol, '85; Mr. McCook, '85; and Mr. Borland, '86, made a short visit to see how the crew was getting along. They remained only an hour or two, however, and left soon for New London. Capt. Meikleham of Columbia has been around once or twice, making final preparations for next Saturday's race. Mr. Adee of Yale has been chosen referee for the race next Saturday, but the selection of judges and time keepers has been left till Friday.
The following are the races which will be rowed this year, and the time at which they will take place.
Yale vs. University of Pennsylvania, four miles, Friday, June 25th, between five and six o'clock. Harvard vs. Columbia, four miles, Saturday, June 26th, at half past six.
Harvard, Yale and Columbia freshman race, two miles, Thursday, July 1st, between eleven and twelve o'clock.
Harvard vs. Yale, four miles, Friday, July 2nd, at noon.
