Since last Friday and Saturday, when the men were given special individual coaching in pair-oars, they have shown great improvement. Monday they went out in eights and the work gradually became harder this week until Wednesday, when the University crew had a time trial and raced the second crew part of the way. The crew covered the 3 and 3-8 miles course from the Boylston street bridge to the boathouse of the Union Boat Club in 17 minutes and 25 seconds--within 5 seconds of the record.

Yesterday the members of the University crew squad had light work, going out one at a time with Coach Wray in pair-oar shells. By this method individual faults of the men not so evident when they row in the eight-oar boats are brought to the attention of the coach.

The plot is simple and perspicuous and does not require a detailed analysis, but it is handled in a witty and clever manner, and there is not a dull line in the whole comedy. It is a play of unquestionable artistic merit and a striking refutation...
