...Only two bumps were made, one in each division, but all the crews fought hard for their positions, and the races were consequently the most exciting of the series. One of the best contests of the afternoon was between the Holworthy-Stoughton and the Brattle street crews, the former boat finally making the bump...
Westmorly made a fast start and rapidly pulled away from Claverly, which for a time was in danger from the Holyoke boat. Claverly held its own, however, and slowly gained on the boat ahead. Brattle street, in the meanwhile, was making desperate efforts to overtake Waverley and might have succeeded, had not the Holworthy-Stoughton crew, which was rowing a much slower and steadier stroke, caught up and made its bump not two hundred yards from the finish.

The same officials are requested to report at the University Boat House at 2.30 o'clock
