...first crew. The men rowed in fours and sixes for about a mile, while Mr. Higginson coached them in starting forward quickly on the recover. When they tried to row all eight, the boat was very unsteady and did not seem to travel well. In a quarter-mile brush with the second on the way down-stream, the second crew beat the first by a length, while rowing the same stroke. In a considerably longer stretch, around the bend to the boat-house, the first had the inside of the curve and finished hardly a length ahead. This weak showing...
...reaching the boat house the crews exchanged shells in order that the relative speed of the two boats might be tested. In the two half-mile stretches that followed, each crew won a brush, leading in each instance by about half a length...

...first eight is clearly superior in form as well as speed to the second, and in every brush between the crews, the first gains rapidly. On Saturday the two eights went over the two-mile course, starting with the race of the lower graded crews. When the graded crews finished at the mile and a half mark, the first Freshman and the first Weld graded, which started with them, were over five lengths ahead of the lower graded crews; and at the end of the two miles, the first Freshman led the first Weld graded by a length of open...
