The Crew Who Will Row for England.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
You must have had the names OF the Lone on
Rowing Club crew incorrectly sent 10 you. There
Is no such name ''Strong." Long is the name OF
the man who rows next TO the stroke. No. 8 he Is
called in Englan d No. =, believe, III tAis country.
The names OF Inc four are:-
BOw-Ge0rge Ryan,
2-H. GulstOn.
3-Albert dc Laude Long,
StrOke-Wilam Stout.
This Is the four who wanted to row in the Har-
vard-O race, but ! understood IRON q letter
received from the Vice President of the London
Rowing Club that tese men would not row, but
that q younger crew'would be chosen, which crew
had not as yet been decided upon. i AM very
happy to see that the utmost good feeling exists
between the two cluDs, and that there Will be no
chance of any such unpleasantness between the
crews IA occurred in the Harvard lord match. I
remain, sir yours truly, WILLIAM A. VIR&UE.
