...position twice, and was not bumped; Waverley-Craigie made one bump, held its position twice, and was not bumped; Brattle stree made no bumps, held its position twice, and was bumped once; Holworthy-Stoughton made two bumps, held its position once, and was not bumped; the Mt. Auburn street crew made no bumps, was bumped once, and remained in last place for two races; Dunster-Drayton made no bumps, was bumped twice, and did not row in the third race. The races in Division B were as follows: Matthews made no bumps, held its position at the head...
...rapidly pulled away from Claverly, which for a time was in danger from the Holyoke boat. Claverly held its own, however, and slowly gained on the boat ahead. Brattle street, in the meanwhile, was making desperate efforts to overtake Waverley and might have succeeded, had not the Holworthy-Stoughton crew, which was rowing a much slower and steadier stroke, caught up and made its bump not two hundred yards from the finish. The latter crew proved to be one of the best on the river and would probably have bumped the Brattle street boat much sooner but for an accident...
Division B lined up promptly, but was delayed in starting by the Russell crew, which had to return to the boat house because of a leak in its shell. At 4.45 o'clock the crews started in the following order: 1, Matthews; 2, Thayer; 3, Perkins-Conant; 4, Beck-Fairfax; 5, Weld; 6, Grays; 7, Russell; 8, Holyoke (second...
Matthews and Thayer both held their positions at the head of the division, although Matthews was constantly in danger from the other boat. Perkins failed to show the good form of the preceding day and, when finally overtaken by Fairfax, was fully six lengths behind the next crews. When the judge's pistol, signalling the bump, was fired, the Perkins crew inexcusably disregarded the signal and continued rowing. Weld soon overtook them and thinking they had made a bump, stopped. Grays was thus deprived of the possibility of a bump, but finished in good form with Russell a length behind...
...Holyoke (first); 4, Dunster-Drayton; 5, Waverley; 6, Brattle street; 7. Holworthy-Stoughton; 8, Mt.Auburn street. Within two minutes Westmorly, which was rowing in improved form, bumped Claverly, this winning the first position for today's race. Holyoke (first) finished without a bump. Waverley bumped the Dunster-Drayton crew on the straightaway before the last curve, but the latter failed to stop at the judge's signals, and Brattle street coming up stopped, thinking it had made a bump. The Holworthy-Stoughton boat then came up and claimed a bump on the Brattle street crew. The resulting disputes were submitted...
