...June 12.--The weather today was clear with a slight wind blowing up river. Both crews got into the water about half past nine. Bancroft is well again and took his regular place at seven, and Francis moved back to three in the four. The other positions were Stroke, Brownell; 2, Derby; bow, Smith; but later Gregg was tried for a time in Derby's place...
