...Weld Junior boat won the inter-club four-oar race yesterday afternoon. But three crews were entered, the 1902 and 1903 Weld and the 1903 Newell. The race was rowed at flood tide over the one mile course from the College Farms bridge to Harvard bridge. The Newell 1903 and the Weld 1902 crews got an even start and had a close race all the way down the course, the Juniors finishing about two feet ahead. The Weld 1903 was two lengths behind.

The foul did not hinder either boat materially however, and at the bridge the Newell led by one eighth of a length. For the rest of the race the Newell...

By repeated spurts the Newell gradually gained, but about a hundred yards from the finish, Farley, number two in the Newell boat, broke his oar and jumped overboard. The Weld then won by half a length...
