...Weld rowed a long, powerful stroke with a splendid finish and a good leg drive. The B. A. A. used a short, snappy stroke and were handicapped by the loss of Derby, who was recently taken to the Harvard 'Varsity boat. The prize for the race was a banner and cups...
...Weld senior and junior crews which are to row in the Harlem Regatta on Monday will leave Cambridge tonight. They will go by the Norwich line to New York, and stay at the Murray Hill Hotel. Both crews are in splendid condition for the race, which is to be a mile and a half. The senior crew has lately done some especially fast work. They are rowing in the new shell built for them by Davy and it has proved itself a splendid boat. The recent addition of Boardman '99 and McDuffie '99 to the crew has materially strengthened...
Among the melodies which are sure to be best applauded by the Harvard men next Tuesday evening, Harvard Night at "The Chorus Girl" performance, Boston Museum, is a march taken from the Pi Eta play, "Fool's Gold," which will be sung with splendid swing by the chorus. Other melodies which will cause the waving of college colors will doubtless be the patriotic song, "Yankee Dewey went to Sea Upon a Cruiser," a parody on "Yankee Doodle;" a pretty child ballad based on "Jack and Jill," and a ditty concerning a theatre cat. This latter is perhaps the funniest ditty...
...equal. Sweetland '99, however, although a trifle awkward, is a tower of strength there and should develop into a valuable man. Wakeman '99, last year's bow oar, has been forced to yield his seat to Dalzell '99, who is much heavier and a splendid oarsman. Strong as the crew may be, Mr. Courtney is not a little worried lest out of the remaining candidates he shall not be able to pick a crew which shall push the 'varsity. This was no small reason for Cornell's success last year...
...race was started at 10 minutes past six with a rough sea, a steadily increasing northeast wind blowing, and a fine rain falling. '99 caught the water first, but 1900 immediately took the lead, and rowing in splendid form, began to draw away from the other crews. Half way to the bridge they were nearly a length ahead of '98, the second crew, and rowing easily at thirty-two strokes to the minute. '99 was last and 1901 and the Law School eight were just behind the Seniors. This order was maintained through the bridge, though '98 was gaining...
