...crew tried out the new English shell, taking a 10 mile paddle up the river beyond the Watertown Arrenal. The members of the crew found difficulty in getting used to the thole-pin rowlocks and short slides which mark the rigging of an English as compared with an American boat. The shell rolled badly and the men failed to get together, so that the boat spaced poorly...
...midway between Harvard Bridge and the new Boston Bridge. Although the building is being constructed chiefly for purposes of exhibition, it is expected that large indoor athletic contests, and perhaps national conventions will be given the use of the hall. It will be especially suitable for automobile and motor boat shows, since trials of the motor boats can be viewed at the same time that the automobiles are being exhibited in the hall...
...start, after being delayed for some time by the unreadiness of the various crews, was made at about 4.15 o'clock. The boats got off fairly well together, the three boats which finished first being almost nose-and-nose, and Mount Auburn Street about half a length in the rear. Randolph pulled the extraordinary number of 39 strokes in the first minute, while Claverly and Matthews rowed about 36 and Mount Auburn Street 35. Rowing such a fast stroke, Randolph rapidly forged ahead and led by half a length at the bridge. Claverly and Matthews, rowing a slower stroke, were...
...general comments on the race, it may be said that the Claverly crew won, owing rather to its superiority in power and endurance than to any advantage in form. It cannot be disputed that the Randolph boat contained more experienced and finished oarsmen than the rival shell.

Had Randolph not attempted to row so many strokes to the minute in the early part of the race, it seems likely that they would have...
...interesting, as upon it will depend largely the selection of the four crews to row in the straightaway race in the basin tomorrow. This race will take place at 4 o'clock, and will be rowed upstream over the one and seven-eighths mile course, starting at the Union boat-house and finishing at the Longwood bridge. The crews are being carefully watched by Coach Wray and Captain Richardson, in whose hands the selection will rest. At present, Randolph, Claverly, Westmorly, and either Matthews or Mt. Auburn street seem the most likely selections
