...annual Harvard-Yale boat races will be rowed on the Thames River at New London on Thursday, June 30. The race between the University eights will be rowed down-stream over the four-mile course, starting opposite Red Top, at 6 o'clock, and finishing at the railroad bridge at New London. The race between the Freshman eights will be rowed at 10 o'clock from the railroad bridge to the Navy Yard, a course of two miles. Immediately following this race the University fours will row over the upper two miles of the course, from the Navy Yard...
...afternoon the University eight was taken down-stream in the "John Harvard" to the half-way mark at the Navy Yard. From here the crew paddled over the upper two miles of the course to the finish opposite Red Top, rowing 29 strokes to the minute. At the mile-mark the the Freshman eight joined in, rowing a slightly higher stroke than the University eight. The crews covered the mile with the Freshmen slightly in the lead, but the row was in no sense a race, as both crews were paddling easily. The Freshman four rowed slowly over the last...
...Harvard, at present, seems to be by far the smoother rowing crew. The Yale shell, when going at the low stroke of 27, is not well on its keel. Many individual faults are apparent, and the body swing of the crew is poor. Wodell at 7 has a poor finish, and Campbell at 4, weighing over 190 pounds, is very awkward.

...Tickets for this train are $2.50 each. The steamboat service for the University eight-oared race is as follows: steamer "Richard Peck" will leave New Haven, Belle Dock, at 12 o'clock. It will pass through the drawbridge and anchor as near as possible to the finish, returning immediately after the race. The fare is $1.75. Steamer "City of Lowell" will leave the wharf at New London at 3.30 P. M., and will proceed up the Thames River to the finish. It will return immediately after the race. The fare will be 50 cents...
...University fours were given a hard race over the upper two miles of the course, from the Navy Yard to the finish opposite Red Top. The second four left the mark rowing a higher stroke than the University four, thus gaining a substantial lead at the start. At the mile mark, which was reached in 5 minutes, 54 3-4 seconds, the second four led by one-quarter of a length. At this point in the race the University four was retarded by the waves of a passing tug. For the last half-mile the crews interchanged positions many times...
