The 'varsity and freshmen crews leave for New London by the Shore Line at one o'clock today. The crews will occupy the same quarters at New London that they have in previous years, and will be looked after in much the same manner. J. E. Storrow, '85, will continue to coach the 'varsity crew, and will have full control until the day of the race. Professor Hart will accompany the crew and will act as proctor while the men are finishing their examinations.

It is probable that the new cedar shell built for the crew by Blakie, the Cambridge builder, will be used in the race with Yale on June 28. The boat has only been used for two days, but it seems to suit the crew very well. A paper shell, a double and a pair-oar will also be taken. The launch has been sent around the cape, instead of by rail; it is a staunch boat and can stand the run.

The make-up of the crew is not yet definitely settled. Storrow, '89, has recently come into the boat and this has caused some changes. He was tried at bow and at three, but will probably row at three in place of Perry. It is possible that Perkins may row at two instead of Longworth. Captain Herrick will not determine the way the crew which will row Yale will be made up until the men are settled at New London.

The general work of the crew is ragged; the time is bad and the blade work splashy. Altogether considerable improvement must be made before the crew will be in really satisfactory shape. It is expected, however, that great improvement will be made while the men are at New London. They will have every facility for better training, and will be able to give their undivided attention to the work. The crew is rowing at present as follows:
