[To ran Exams 07 TEE "SPECTATOR. "] SIR,—Your correspondent "Remex "
shows in the last issue with what success Mr. R. C. Lehmann coached Harvard until they beat Yale, and were justly led to believe they might prove worthy competitors when matched against the Cam- bridge crew which had won the University Race of 1906. I therefore think it just to Mr. H. M. Goldsmith, the Light
Blue president, and Mr. D. C. R. Stuart, the stroke chosen by him, to quote Mr. Lehmann's opinion of the winners in the famous contest as expressed in " The Complete Oarsman " :-
" This day will always be considered by Cambridge oarsmen as one of the really great dates in their calendar. The Race was no doubt a brilliant triumph for our English rowing men, and for the sound and ancient traditions on which their teaching had been based."
There is certainly a marked difference of opinions as regards style amongst old experts.—I am, Sir, &c., ONLOOKER.
