...ensemble was truly dismal. The line of herdics which had taken hopeful '88 men to the field, returned at a brisk trot with all their crimson banners carefully put out of sight; the Yale freshmen all this time, however, were howling themselves hoarse on the field, and waving great blue banners with a wild enthusiasm...
...mile flag Harvard was timed at 11m. 44s., and Columbia at 12m. 47s. Columbia now spurted desperately, rushing the stroke up to 42, but without avail, for the crimson passed the three mile mark in 18m. 40s., with the crew in good condition and rowing well together, while the blue and white made the same distance in 19m. 53s., with No's. 2 and 7 giving unmistakable signs of distress. At the three and a half mile flag, Harvard hit the stroke up to 38, and passed over the line in 24m. 27s., fully a quarter of a mile...
...YALE RACE.New London was overrun with college men on the morning of June 26th, the day set for the Yale-Harvard race.

This year the championship is ours, beyond all uncertainty and doubt. Let us appreciate our good fortune, then, at its true value, and feel fitting gratitude to Captain Winslow and his nine, by whose faithful and untiring...
...with a much less glorious record than it gained for us this year. Last spring we beat Yale by a score of 8 to 7, and Amherst to the tune of 13 to 10. This year we can point to a score of 12 to 4 made against the Blue, and 15 to 5 scored in the match with Amherst. Truly, our nine has brought honors to the college, and the honors it has received from us are hard earned and well deserved. With our present record we need feel but little fear that any other place than Holmes Field...
