After a short row up-stream yesterday, the crew returned to the boat house, and Bullard went in at stroke. Smith was moved to three, replacing Bancroft, who took Bullard's former place at seven. In this order the crew seemed to show improvement, being livelier and spacing a little better. The crew returned to the boat house again, however, Bullard went on the launch, and McGrew took his place at stroke. He showed greater quickness at the catch than in his former trial in this position.
With the race about four weeks off, this shake up appears to be the final trial of the men, before a more or less definite order for the first crew is settled upon. Stroke has been the most unsettled position, all along, and Bullard is the ninth man that has rowed in this position in either boat since the squad was formed. Altogether, when Bullard and McGrew were at stroke, yesterday, the work of the first crew was more encouraging than it has been for a number of days.
