The two eights were out together yesterday for the first time. A new set of oars from Shaw arrived and were used by Captain Goodrich's crew. Several practice starts were taken by both crews together. These starts were very even as a rule, but Perkins's crew had a longer swing and were faster and cleaner with their hands.

Today very light work will be done in preparation for the race tomorrow.

Mr. Lehmann coached as usual from the launch. He was accompanied by Professor Morgan, G. S. Mumford '87, who coached last year's crew, A. Crocker '79, who rowed in Mayor Bancroft's winning crew, R. M. Townsend L. S., and E. N. Wrightington '97.

The crew management has arranged to have a tug follow the race tomorrow provided that as many as thirty men take tickets. This will be the only way of seeing the whole race, so that there should be no trouble in securing the desired number of men. As the race is to take place at 12.30 o'clock, the tug will leave either West Boston Bridge of Harvard Bridge about 12 o'clock and go up the river to the start. Notice of this will be given tomorrow morning. Tickets will cost one dollar and are on sale at Leavitt and Peirce's.
