Three is very apt to get out of time, but his form is good generally. Two does not keep control of his neck, and bow does not put life enough into his stroke. Throughout the boat there is a looseness in managing the arms, but the time is generally good, and the backs are kept straight and in good form.

The only objections are lack of precedent and possible lack of self control and dignity by the class at such a supper. The former amounts to little. The latter would be urged by no one who knew the perfectly-proper and dismally-virtuous tendencies of '85. She can be trusted anywhere, (e. g., at even a Wilde lecture), and if once we were united...
