...longer such a necessity to them during the dog-days as their mothers' milk, although in these days of Ridge's "Food for Infants" and competitive examinations for women, this article has gone sadly out of fashion. Any true advocate of progress would blush to remember that he had ever been aught but a bottle-baby...
Thus young Van Duzer, whose papa is an ornament of our first social circles and senior member of the firm of Van Duzer, Van Nostrum, and Drench, is a melancholy confirmation of this fact.

For over two months the five eight oared crews have been in training, and for the last five weeks have been on the river daily. The sight of five eight-oared crews in line is of itself worth going several miles to see; but when the race between them is as close as that of to-morrow seems likely to be, the interest ought to be very great.
