...Lower Piazza, and the Ducal Palace. Then the lecturer presented views of St. marks, both from the interior and exterior. The photographs of the altar rail and the south end of the Vestibule were especially noticeable. The Campanile was the next object described, the lecturer dwelling at length upon the beautiful views which lay in sight from its upper windows...
...minutes the entire crowd had dispersed. When half-past five come, not more than half the number gathered again to see the crews come in. The crews had come out at the hour appointed, but had been sent back by the referee on account of the postponement.

Half way down the course they turned and followed up the leaders, rowing a fast and effective stroke. '84 came in ahead by over a length, and the freshmen finished four or five lengths behind '85. Owing to the fact that no tugs followed the boats closely the time could not be ascertained, but one estimate figures it at under ten minutes. The crowd and students on the leading tugs were much disappointed when the referee...
