This is good time, but the conditions were almost perfect and a strong tide and a favoring wind were of material assistance to the boat. The Freshmen raced the University crew for the last two miles, starting a length behind, and finished three-quarters of a length ahead. The Freshman boat went as well as it has at any time this season. The University four-oar rowed over the two-mile course, but no time was taken...

The Freshman eight also took the water at the same time, and for the first two miles of the course raced the university crew, winning by a length and a half. The Freshmen rowed a 29 stroke, while that of the university eight was 28. No announcement was made of the time of the four-oar, which was sent over a two-mile course.
