CAMBRIDGE ROWING.

[To THE EDITOR OF THE "spitc.r..ros."i

Sin, In your article on " Cambridge Rowing " last week you say that if the Harvard men had persisted for another year in the style which Mr. R. C. Lehmann taught them they would probably have done well. You are evidently unaware that they did persist, and the next year (1899) beat Yale after seven successive defeats. The coach was Mr. Storrow, who had helped Mr. Lehmann in the previous year. Mr. Lehmann had much more to do than to teach Harvard a new style ; he had to introduce an organisation and establish a series of races leading up to the inter-University race on the model of Oxford and Cambridge.—I am, Sir, &c., RE MEX.
