Whiting's muff of an easy liner, Dreyfus's ridiculous errors in left, McAdams' passed balls, Whittemore's two fumbles and Gilmore's slow...

Those who grudge their little pennies and want always to get their money's worth, will be sure to find it this evening in an excellent entertainment and in future in a more generous management of the crew which represents all Harvard...

Everyone must be on hand ready to row at 4 o'clock sharp. The race will be rowed in two heats, first and second in each to row in the final. C. R. Falk '93 will referee, and C. Morgan '94, will act as starter. Any men who want to row and have not entered can come down to the boat house as there will probably be vacancies...
