Although Captain Richardson was not satisfied with the way the shell went along, it appeared to be travelling quite well most of the time. The stroke was kept long even in the spurt and the men were all together throughout the course. The conditions were not particularly conducive to good time. The tide was practically at high water and there was a slightly favorable wind with rain the whole distance...
...start, but Bacon's crew, rowing a higher stroke, succeeded, in wearing down their opponents' lead and were about half a length to the good by the time Harvard bridge was reached.

The decisive nature of this victory is to be accounted for by saying that the University crew proved better and the Cornell crew worse than expectations. Although the crews' chances were estimated as equal, and the high wind was even considered to give the advantage to the superior watermanship of Cornell, the University boat took the lead at the very start and crossed the finishing line without ever being pressed...
