After the University practice, the three University fours raced over the mile and seven-eighths course in the Basin. Crew B, stroked by Waite, won over crew A, stroked by Forster, by about two lengths and a half. The third four finished about seven lengths behind the winner. The second crew led from the start, averaging 34 strokes to the minute over a greater part of the course, but finishing with a 36 stroke...

A few seconds later, Royce fainted and Parker spurted to catch Lynn. The latter rowed strongly however and kept the lead until fifty yards from the finish, when Parker slowly passed him and won by half a length...
...yesterday's race, the contestants kept together in the lee of the Boston shore for half a mile. Then Lynn drew ahead with Parker close behind, keeping this order until within 250 yards of the finish, when Parker spurted and won easily. Peabody finished third and Orr fourth...
