...last two days with the result that most of them are decidedly unsteady. The orders of the first and second Weld graded crews are not yet definitely decided, but the first Newell went out yesterday in what will probably be the final order. The crews are all practicing racing starts, and the four graded crews have been sent over the two mile course on time. The Freshman race will be rowed on November 17. The order of the graded crews follows...
There have been several slight changes in the plans for fall rowing. The race for the graded crews of the two boat clubs will be held on Thursday, November sixteenth, instead of on the seventeenth, as previously arranged. This change was made to enable the men to attend the dinner to last year's crew, which will be held on the evening of the seventeenth.

The young men who come here from Carlisle are among the best representatives of an unfortunate, but manly and dignified race; and they should receive from all spectators here, and especially from Harvard men, that courteous and respectful treatment which they are perfectly able to exact from the players who meet them hand to hand in the line-up. Of course no insult to the visitors was intended; but to make their...
...alone shows an artistic touch; but, unfortunately, it is scarcely original. Representing a "lone couple" sitting on a sand dune and gazing fixedly on the open sea, it looks like a crude copy of Gibson's "Solitude." The centre picture is intended as a caricature on the recent yacht race, but is neither clever in design nor amusing in point...
