...pressure cylinder broke, knocking off the cylinder head and smashing things generally. This necessitated taking the launch to the dry-dock for repairs. In the evening the engineer started with her for the lower basin, but she became unmanageable and went aground on a mud bank off the Crescent Boat Club house. The skid on the keel stuck in the mud and prevented the tide from floating the launch. She soon began to fill and the engineer was compelled to swim ashore. Efforts were made to get the launch afloat yesterday, but were unsuccessful. A lighter of the Boston Towing...

As the boats came down the river the 'varsity gradually closed up the gap between them and '88, - at the Crescent Boat House there were but three lengths between them, and at the sluice way, scarcely two. Just below this point, at about three quarters of a mile from the finish, the '86 crew joined in the race, - starting just ahead of the 'varsity. Down the last half mile, the three boats...
