Abstract
WHEREVER we go, “The Boat Race” is the topic of the hour. Opinions are freely expressed as to the relative merits of the rival crews; and the risks and dangers incurred during the process of training, sturdily insisted on by some, are as obstinately denied by others. The respective values of the slow and quick stroke—the American fashion of “sliding-seats,” and a variety of kindred questions, are eagerly debated, occasionally by men who really understand what they are talking about, but more frequently in order to make conversation, or, as the phrase goes, “for the sake of something to say.”
