...Harvard eight, which is a radical departure from ordinary eight-oared shells in that it will be a round, full boat, carrying her lines to the extreme length of stem and stern. Mr. Webb intends to build from designs approved by Coach Watson, a boat that will weigh not more than two hundred pounds, and will carry 1350 pounds. It will be of Spanish cedar and 63 feet long, with a beam of 22 inches and an extreme depth of 13.25 inches. All the braces will be of cold drawn steel tube. The rigging will be Kern's. Mr. Webb...

They are very persistent in attacking their prey, and when they have seized a fish, they will often allow themselves to be carried about for hours. They...
...race this year in a new shell, built by Davy, from a very original plan of Mr. Bryant, the yacht designer. The boat is shaped very much like a cigar, the stern being square and about eight inches wide. It is several feet longer than the ordinary, and will weigh 250 pounds. The unusually wide stern is expected to prevent the shell from settling at the end of the stroke. If the experiment succeeds it will revolutionize the present system of boat building...
