...mile and seven-eighths course, between the first and second graded crews of the Weld and Newell clubs resulted in a decisive victory for the second Newell crew with the first Weld second, and the first Newell third. The second Weld crew did not finish, as Burden at bow broke his oar just after passing Harvard Bridge; the boat shortly after filled with water. A brisk wind blowing across the course created a choppy sea causing all the eights to ship water. The time, 11 minutes and 45 seconds, was therefore as fast as could be reasonably expected...
