Matthews and Thayer both held their positions at the head of the division, although Matthews was constantly in danger from the other boat. Perkins failed to show the good form of the preceding day and, when finally overtaken by Fairfax, was fully six lengths behind the next crews.

Carr, Montgomery and Hanley were all out doing light work and Myers of the second, team, who was injured several weeks ago, was out again. Knowlton was again tried at end on the first eleven and O'Brien played...
