Fifteen dormitory crews have now been formed, and are practicing daily on the river under the direction of Coaches Rice and Stephenson. The crews are seriously handicapped in their work by a lack of shells, but on the whole are improving rapidly. The new men, while they retard somewhat the development of uniformity in the boats are greatly aided by the example of the experienced men, and are learning rapidly. In some cases the new crews are showing signs of unusual ability.

Six crews row from the Weld boat house, and nine from the Newell, the former in charge of Rice and the later under Stephenson. The Westmorly crew, which is made up entirely of experienced men, is showing especially good form, and the Dunster eight, none of the members of which have rowed before, looks very promising.

The date of the races has not year decided on, ad will depend largely on the weather during the next few weeks.
