Practicing for the Universities' Boat-Race, 1895. 'In Full Swing; Interested Spectators; Tired but Hopeful; Taking in the Boat. By the time this Journal is in the hands of our readers Universities' Boat-Race will, in all probability, be an accomplished fact. Both crews have been busily practising under the coaching of experienced men. In the Cambridge boat Mr. Stewart's place was taken on March 25 by Mr. J. F. Beale, as the former was unwell. Mr. S. D. Muttlebury has been indefatigable in instructing the Cantabs, who, however, have not found so much favour with the critics as the Oxonians. We give sundry views of them practising'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
