...back, and one or two other short, informal rides. The paperchases, which were so successful last year, were repeated, but, as from last year it was found that some riders had no chance of winning, it was resolved to handicap all those who had won first prizes. Though this plan is open to many objections, the four paperchases held this year were on the whole as successful as last year's and were well attended.

Yet it has very generally been conceded that in point of style and finish the crew of 1883 was inferior to no eight Harvard has ever had. The experiment certainly seemed a success. This year a new plan has been adopted,-a compromise between the old one of training the whole year and that tried last year of training for only six months. Up to Christmas the candidates for the crew are to meet three times a week, twice to row under the able coaching of Mr. Bancroft...
