The Weld Boat Club has just received a new racing shell from Davy, as a gift from Mrs. Charles F. Sprague, a niece of G. W. Weld '60, the founder of the club. It is intended to take the place of the old racing shell built in 1897-98. The new shell is 62 feet long, 23 inches wide, and 10 inches deep. It is constructed of Spanish cedar, both on the body and on the wash boards. A new system of bracing not yet tried here has been used and will probably prove very satisfactory.
