RIVES BOAT CLUB.

This organization, founded upon a liberal gift from F. R. Rives, Esq.,
of New York, suffered in the autumn of 1877 the loss of its boats and
boat-house—swept away by the unusual flood in the Rivanna river. It has,
however, raised by subscription amongst its members and other students
of the University, and with further kind aid from Mr. Rives, funds fully
sufficient to repair the loss, and rowing will be resumed with the first fine
weather of spring.
