...throughout the course, the object being to get the new order well together, to try Cutler out at stroke, and to see if Withington was fit for the distance. The stroke was kept at 30 except for the third half-mile, when it was raised to 31. At the finish the crew gradually increased the stroke to 34, and then in the last ten strokes to 36. The time by half-miles was as follows: half-mile, 2.40; mile, 5.25; mile and one-half, 8.18; two miles, 10.55; two miles and one-half, 13.27; three miles, 16.16; three miles...

Throughout the course the crew rowed...

Starting at 36, the crew averaged about 32 strokes for most of the row. At the finish the stroke went up as high as 40. Lack of a hard leg drive was the chief fault...
...flag below the Navy Yard in one stretch, a distance of about two and one-half miles. The crew showed much improvement over yesterday's work and appears to be slowly emerging from last week's decided slump. The men were using their shoulders to better advantage at the finish, with the result that the boat was faster and much more life was shown in getting the oars in at the catch.
