Hale is ill just now with the grippe and Baldwin was laid off temporarily yesterday in order that Burgess might stroke for the day. It will be seen by anyone glancing over the names of the two crews that many of the candidates are new men, or at least men who have never rowed in their class boat in any race. Of these new men perhaps the men who have improved the most and are rowing in the best form are Falk, Pike and Pierce. The excellence of Falk's rowing is attested by the fact that he is stroking the second crew. His strokes, however, are apt to be very long on account of the extreme length of his body and leg reach. In their particular firmaments, Pike and Pierce are also stars of some magnitude. The excellences and defects of the old men have so often been dwelt upon that it is needless to add another chapter to their rowing history.

The present number of candidates will be continued until the crew goes on the river in March, at which time more of an idea can be had of the permanent men in the boat.
