I should like to do what I can towards encouraging and perpetuating the secondary fall rowing, and to that end I desire to offer two cups, the one a perpetual challenge cup to be competed for each year, the other to be presented to the crew that wins this autumn. Though I am much interested in preserving the interdormitory or the bumping character of the races, I do not think it wise or fair to attach other conditions to the gift than that it shall be used to encourage the secondary autumn racing. I would express the hope, however, that the cups may be kept, if practicable, in the common room of the winning dormitory (or of the senior dormitory in a winning combination.) I desire also that the cups should be known as the 'Filley Cups,' not only for reasons of personal friendship, but as an expression, as well, of gratitude, shared, I am sure, by the whole University, for a painstaking and single-hearted devotion to the task of developing and perfecting the secondary rowing here at Harvard. Yours very sincerely,   B. APTHORP GOULD FULLER."

Development of the Crews.

The work of the crews during the past week has been very satisfactory. All the boats have improved rapidly, and the races this afternoon promise to be very close. The general tendencies to wash out and clip the stroke at the finish are much less noticeable. All the men have been reporting regularly and the coaches have had a better opportunity to get the men swinging together. The Randolph and Westmorly crews have been doing promising work and should make a good showing.
