...present indications it would seem that such will be the outcome. The Senior crew is improving in form and speed to an extent that is extremely encouraging. Under fair conditions they recently rowed a mile and a half time trial in 7m. 48s. The appearance of the men is splendid. They are an exceptionally well boated crew, and row a powerful long stroke, that has as its best features a strong drag and hard finish. Donovan who has entire charge of the coaching is fully satisfied with the men and has no doubt as to the crew's ability...
...Weld rowed a long, powerful stroke with a splendid finish and a good leg drive. The B. A. A. used a short, snappy stroke and were handicapped by the loss of Derby, who was recently taken to the Harvard 'Varsity boat. The prize for the race was a banner and cups...
...Weld senior and junior crews which are to row in the Harlem Regatta on Monday will leave Cambridge tonight. They will go by the Norwich line to New York, and stay at the Murray Hill Hotel. Both crews are in splendid condition for the race, which is to be a mile and a half. The senior crew has lately done some especially fast work. They are rowing in the new shell built for them by Davy and it has proved itself a splendid boat. The recent addition of Boardman '99 and McDuffie '99 to the crew has materially strengthened...

This latter is perhaps the funniest ditty...
...equal. Sweetland '99, however, although a trifle awkward, is a tower of strength there and should develop into a valuable man. Wakeman '99, last year's bow oar, has been forced to yield his seat to Dalzell '99, who is much heavier and a splendid oarsman. Strong as the crew may be, Mr. Courtney is not a little worried lest out of the remaining candidates he shall not be able to pick a crew which shall push the 'varsity. This was no small reason for Cornell's success last year...
