...great pity that the crew dinner should prove a fiasco, especially after their hard-won race last June. If it were ever becoming to banquet a crew, it would certainly be this one, who labored perseveringly in the face of defeat prophesied on all hands and were finally victorious over rivals whose method was considered easy victory or ruination, and which proved neither one nor the other. The subscribers for the dinner have come forward in ridiculously small numbers, either through forgetfulness of the near approach of the date assigned or for some less charitable reason. Let us hope...
...action of the Columbia crew has been praised and sanctioned, not by the Columbia College Boat Club alone, but by the whole college in mass meeting assembled, where the use of any one man's thumb has little or no effect...
...freshmen are admitted. For a fuller account of all organizations at present existing at Harvard, we refer "J. A. S." to page 303 (Vol. III., 1881,) of the Harvard Register.

When the lower end of the float in front of the boat house was reached, Storrow had a lead of not more than six feet over Hammond, with Burch and Bryant well up to the leaders. Before...
Some of the men in the crews of Burch and Storrow being disinclined to row again, Belshaw replaced Howe, and J. D. Sherwood, Clarke and Biddle replaced H. Sherwood, Jones and Blodgett. It will be seen that Burch's crew was much strengthened by these changes, and as it proved, rather too much so, for they had not rowed a dozen strokes in the second trial before Clarke broke his oar short off and Gilman displaced his seat. This, of course, put them out of the race, and was doubly unfortunate since when the mishap occurred they had a short...
