...again, and therefore will have a fine opportunity to show us their true strength in the race on the Harlem. They have trained with much perseverance long after the other class crews have relapsed into their ways of idleness and ease, and competent judges announce a steady improvement in form and strength, such as would have given them a better position in the class races.

Here, it is to be feared, will be discovered the weakness of the Yale crew. The crew do not observe the excellent rule made by Captain Cook, that the strength...
...live apart from the noise and strife of the more unfortunate part of society. The author of this work, however, Mr. Sloane Kennedy, a graduate of Yale, has succeeded most admirably in his attempt to present all the important things connected with Longfellow's life, in a very attractive form. While the book possesses none of the garrulity or impudent inquisitiveness of minor affairs that makes biographies so popular now-a-days, (a thing which would be impossible in the present instance, however,) one can find in it all that a reasonable reader can desire to know of the poet...
