...their work together is not at all what can be desired. The enief difficulty they encounter is in keeping the boat steady and on an even keel. This is due to the following faults: First they do not pull entirely together nor with the same strength; second, some dip their oars too deep, while others do not dip deep enough; third some pull too much, others not enough, throwing the boat over to one side or the other. Their time is poor and they neither catch nor finish together. Although the foregoing is possibly a little exagerated, still...

Perkins was declared the winner of the contest...
