not positively known, II about twelve sec

The early races were rowed entirely in
wooden boats with keels. These were
gradually superseded By keelless boats.
The first paper boats were invented by an
American IN 1861, and they almost immedi-
ately took the place OF wooden boats, which
were slower and heavier. Oflate years, how
ever, boat building has reached such point
of perfection that cedar shells are again
taking the place Of paper, for they are
mace lighter and are found to be speedier.
Paper shells will doubtless long be used
for practice, as they are much tougher than
those Of wood, but the racing of the future
win probably be en1irely confined to cedar
shells. Harvard's easy victory over Yale
last June Is partially credited by some to
the fact that she used cedar shell while
Yale rowed paper boat.
The average dimensions Of an eight cared
shell of thirty years ago carrying the same
weight compared with one of today may be
interesting for comparison: 1s6e-Length,
81 feets beam eS inches; depth at stern, 6
inches. 1s99-Length, 67 feet, beam, p
inches; depth at stern, 9H inches.

The Association, of course, was modest
then and composed of stars whose luster
had been dimmed by time, as well as a
sprinkling of young blood that has since
risen to prominence. OF the army of
League players who were active in tho
struggle Of 1882 no less than twenty-five are
still in No. company. Fifteen are under
the old flag and seven follow the Associa-
tion standard. No player in the Associa-
ton has more admirers than Jimmie
Wolf How be ever caught that title no
one knows, but Jimmie he is to the
cranks the country over. He honestly
earned his other sobriquet, for no man
alive can devour more harnyard fowls at

In 1899 Mr.. Babcock again tried his hand
at it and turned out a six cared crew on
slides; he then discovered that the appa-
ratus increased their speed considerably.
After this sliding seats came into general
use, and the two Tyne crews which came
TO America in 1871 took the idea back to
England, where it shortly became popular.
Old oarsmen held up their hands in holy
horror. for it was seen that crew rowing
in poor form on slides could beat a good
crew on fixed seats. The slide, however,
simply revolutionized rowing, and when
its proper use was learned there was no
further objection raised.
The first sliding seat simply ran in an
oiled groove, later the friction was leSsened
by Introducing two narrow strips of steel,
which were oiled, and on which the seat
moved, but of late years the seat has been
made to move on rollers, wtich lessons the
friction still more and does away with the
oil which formerly besmeared the oars
man. Further changes Of doubtful value
have also been tried recently. Boats have
been constructed with seats on runners,
inclining slightly aft, on the theory Of as
sisting the osrsmsn on the recover, but SIS
it only relieves those muscles which re-
qure the least assistance its utility is
doubtful The same may be said OF slides
incliufng altetn6eefy toward the searboard
and port sides, which have recently been
tried in English eights, on the ground that
the oarsmen thereby obtain greater reach
