...first eight which, with a favorable tide and a moderately favorable wind, rowed the two-mile course up-stream. The stroke was picked up rapidly at the beginning, 34 being the average, but after the first half-mile Lund steadied it down to between 28 and 30. The first crew looked exceptionally well today, for all eight men were rowing smoothly and the coaches were considerably impressed...
...coaches, however, were not the only ones giving a close eye to this row, for the Eli captain, Seth Low, spent the greater part of the afternoon in launching up and down with Crew A.

The time made was 10 minutes, 6 seconds, but the wash was very heavy from the launches following, and with all conditions considered, the time was creditable. The members of the first Yale crew received rather luxurious treatment after their afternoon work-out, for a rub-down and a bath was presented them on "The While-away," after which ceremony the trusty "Elihu Yale" took them back to the quarters
