...comparisons are made, and as "points" are discovered, the knowing ones begin to have settled opinions about the order in which the most important boats will cross the line on the 29th. Holworthy is, not without reason, looked upon as the favorite for first place in the six-oared race. Of the four crews this one alone has retained the stroke who pulled in the fall race, and in no other boat are there so few new men. The stroke is good, and the men get their strength well on the beginning, though at the end there is a tendency...
...accustomed to row on. Bacon and Taylor may be able to put as much strength into their stroke on one side as on the other, but we beg to suggest that experiments with the crew are exceedingly dangerous at this late day. One thing more. If the bow oar is to steer at Saratoga, it seems time that he should begin to learn this very important part of his duty...
...usual scratch race will take place on the course in front of H. U. B. C. boat-house on Saturday morning at eleven o'clock. The race will be for six-oared barges, four-oared barges, double-sculls, single-sculls, and pair oars. Entries may be made at Richardson's up to 10 A. M., Saturday. At 10 o'clock this morning but four men had entered the six-oared race, five men for the four-oar, and but one double-scull crew, and one pair oar. At that time there were no entries for the single-scull race...
...months before the regatta is late enough to find our crew settled upon and hard at work, and where the strokeship lies between three or four men, it is not supremely difficult to make a choice. We are sorry to miss Mr. Taylor on the crew. As an oar, he is undoubtedly faulty, but his strength and endurance will be a bad loss, and we hope his absence may be only temporary. In his stead, Mr. Ely has been rowing, pulling No. 5, while Mr. Wetmore takes the position of No. 3. A speedy announcement of the fixed positions...
...This season, however, physical development has another candidate for our interest and favor in the Athletic Association. Last season this association was only in its promising infancy, but now comes before us as an organization ready to do a manly work in supplementing the physical culture of bat and oar. If the true end of such culture was that which the Greek sought, - the symmetrical and harmonious development of every part of the body - then our Athletic Association is destined, as the ideal of physical culture rises, to lead the van of all our societies devoted...
